Caldarus

Appearance: Caldarus is an ancient dragon, his being having been previously trapped within the off-white stone of a dragon statue. In his human form, Caldarus has slightly darker skin, long teal hair, orange eyes, and retains some of his dragon features. He has two long horns, pointy ears, a tail, and sharp fingernails. He has markings on his skin resembling wings on his arms, shoulders, and chest. He is supposedly quite tall.

Personality: A mysterious, stoic, and somewhat reserved character with a strong sense of duty and loyalty, often appearing guarded and reluctant to share his past or personal life, but with a hidden depth of compassion and care beneath his exterior. He is fiercely dedicated to those he considers allies and will go to great lengths to protect them. He has a strong work ethic and is highly focused on achieving his goals. Due to his past, Caldarus often keeps his emotions close to his chest, making it difficult to read his true feelings. While he may appear cold at times, Caldarus does care deeply for others and will show compassion when necessary. Once in his human form, Caldarus enjoys socializing, cuisine, and nature. He quickly becomes fatigued when "leaving the protection of the woods," and only seemed to very occasionally leave the area around his home.

Backstory: Caldarus hatched on the 25th in the springtime thousands of years ago and was the last of his clutchmates. Caldarus is a mysterious character with a backstory tied to the ancient magic of the land, often described as a powerful, secluded individual who has been weakened by a past event. Due to the earthquake that devastated Mistria, Caldarus lost a substantial amount of his magical abilities, leaving him weakened and unable to fully utilize his powers. He chose to live in the Deep Woods, secluded from the village of Mistria, possibly due to shame or fear of harming others with his unstable magic. Despite his weakened state, Caldarus possesses extensive knowledge about the ancient magic of Mistria, which can be crucial. 
Caldarus is implied to be very old, and has been asleep for an unspecified amount of time; it is further implied that this and the seals within the Mines contribute to their memory problems. He needs help to regain his power by assisting him in breaking magical seals.

Additional information: He struggles to cook and adjust to retaining his claws and horns as well as living as a human in general, citing feeling uncomfortable with brushing his hair, chores, and the cold. He is curious about humans and the villagers of Mistria, often questioning Ari as to the actions of others and the state of the world, such as the ocean still being salty and birthday customs. He avoids villagers and hides when they come to the Deep Woods but indirectly interacts with them, leaving requests for Balor, stopping Celine from falling into the pond by casting a wind spell, and leaving bundles of timber for Ryis to lessen his work. He is skilled at playing the lute and Ari claims to be mesmerized by his playing. He is appreciative of his ability to experience modern day and of Ari's assistance to him, often worrying about their safety and thanking them extensively for gifts.
