Turtle

Turtle is a male SeaWing dragonet who is also an animus dragon and a SeaWing prince. He is currently attending Jade Mountain Academy as a member of the Jade Winglet. His winglet comprises of his friends Moonwatcher, Winter, Qibli, Kinkajou and Peril. He has romantic feelings for Kinkajou. Turtle has unblemished, jewel-toned, dark emerald-green scales with lighter green underscales and hints of gold in his dark green eyes. He is a little plump, with an extra curve to his snout and upper arms, and has large talons. He wears a waterproof pouch around his neck and a golden armband studded with sparkling skyfire rocks. His bioluminescent scales emit a pale green light, and he has a low, rumbly voice. He has a round, anxious face. He has spirals and shapes like webbed talon prints along his wings that are luminescent and oddly beautiful. Turtle is shrewd, nervous, outwardly serene, anxious, wry, curious, friendly, thoughtful, quiet, peculiar, peaceful, fidgety, and does not seem to have any fire to him at all. He is also insecure, once referring to himself as an idiot. Turtle is fearful of everything, and he has called himself boring, uninteresting, unremarkable, and forgettable; descriptions that multiple other dragons have agreed with. Turtle lacks proper communication skills, is often sleepy and mumbly, and he tends to overshare. He is willing to try his best to be helpful, and he has acted bravely in order to protect his friends. He is very self-conscious about his magic, and he often worries about hurting or even killing other dragons. He was extremely cautious when concealing his powers and took great care to ensure they would not end up being discovered. However, Turtle's soul is almost entirely good, and after the events of Darkness of Dragons, he became less fearful of his animus magic. According to Winter, it is easy to forget that Turtle is a prince. He almost never behaves like royalty, as though he does not want to be noticed at all. Qibli described him as "easygoing", "used to being invisible", and a worrying expert. Qibli also think Turtle is "terrible" at using his animus magic, and it was hard for him to imagine Turtle coming up with a useful spell on his own. Other dragons do not typically have much faith in his ability to protect others. His voice hitched slightly when speaking about Kinkajou in her injured state. He hopped around as he was wondering what to bring to Kinkajou as a gift. One of the things Turtle likes about Kinkajou was that she was nothing like him. Turtle did not see Kinkajou as just another RainWing, but as her own dragon. He believes Kinkajou is more cut out for heroism than he is. At the end of Talons of Power, Kinkajou says that she loves Turtle, unknown she was under a spell. Turtle then sadly replies that it was only a spell and she did not really love him. Tthe love spell is removed after. Kinkajou returned to her normal feelings of him as one of her best friends. Anemone's spell enchanted Kinkajou to believe that Turtle was handsome, brave, and noble, but Kinkajou was aware that these feelings were a result of the spell and was quite angry towards Anemone and towards herself. Turtle has an enormous crush on her, and after not mentioning the spell for about a month after Anemone released Kinkajou from it, Turtle admitted that he still had feelings for her. Kinkajou likes him too, but confessed that it was confusing having to go through enchanted emotions. Kinkajou wants to keep spending time with him in order to sort out her feelings, but she thinks he is adorable. She once twined her tail around Turtle's and glared at Anemone, as though to say that she would be doing so even without the love spell. Before the Talons of Power ceremony, he had only ever seen his sister from a distance. During the ceremony, he enchanted Anemone to become an animus to draw attention to her and away from his own animus abilities so he could keep his secret hidden and to fulfill the biggest hopes of his mother. He ended up regretting this greatly afterward. Upon going to the Academy, they did begin to spend more time together, but she still treated him like another subject to order around. She finally started paying attention to him when he started following her and Darkstalker around, but the attention was not positive. During their duel on the beach, Turtle refused to hurt Anemone, and cast only defense spells, despite Anemone being willing to kill him. After their duel on the beach and Turtle hiding her from Darkstalker, he seems to regard her more as his younger sister, who he should protect, and she seems to respect him as an older brother. She once referred to him as a doofus, but he is reassuring and kind towards her, and she is willing to listen to and react upon how he feels.
