Acacia

Acacia is an adult male LeafWing and one of the main protagonists of Cavernous Promises. He is partly-responsible for the retaking of the Crystal Helm, and saving several innocent LeafWings from the War of Vinegaroon Hive. His mother is descended from Queen Sequoia, and Acacia is an unrecognised prince of the LeafWing Tribe. He is now a certified citizen of the CavernWings.

Appearance
Acacia is an amber, brown, and orange speckled LeafWing, with a primary scale colour of rich shamrock. He has undertones of olive, mint, basil, and parakeet. His scales are mostly-smooth, however, he has a small burn mark on the underside of his tail, near its edge, due to a strand of flamesilk produced by Cobalt.

He is also rather slim for a normal LeafWing, and in some places, like the tips of his legs and wings, he is rather bony and or fragile. His claws are an average-size for his tribe, and his horns are unusually-long. His eyes are a pooling, bright amber. On his front-left claw, he wears a silver band, adorned with his Family's Signate (on his father's side).

Personality
Acacia is a clumsily-built dragon, who often finds himself stuck in difficult situations. He is usually 'accidently ' heroic when forced into different circumstances, which makes him rather unreliable. He is unfazed by any criticism he receives (usually), and doesn't often care for himself before the needs of others are satisfied, especially those of whom he values most. He is caring, kind, loyal, and often wants a say in things, to see if he can offer a solution for the good of all dragons. He enjoys making others laugh, and is sometimes described as having 'a heart bigger than all of Pantala'. He also has a passion for writing.

(P.S. his fighting skills are that of a clumsy hatchling's).

Cavernous Promises
Acacia was first introduced when he breached a Black Wood meeting, conscious of being late for his entry trial into the movement (for which he was). Acacia proceeded to be mocked and laughed at for his efforts. During this time of scorn, he was able to help Admiral escape from the clutches of the laughing LeafWings, only to be discovered and chased. Eventually, he and Admiral were found by Mallow.

The three were then joined by Locust, Cobalt and Prince Dragonfly the II, whom they quarrel with and Acacia gets his tail burnt by Cobalt's flamesilk. He complains, but is then put to sleep by Dragonfly's paralysing toxin.

Later, he wakes up to find himself in the clutches of the CavernWings, an over-seas tribe that claim to be from the Distant Kingdoms, which they call Pyrrhia. He and the other dragonets scramble hastily to escape, but fail multiple times, eventually giving up. The CavernWings find this amusing, and he is soon familiar with all of their names: General Skull, Ghost, Calcite, Metatarsals, and Mica. Acacia and his new ' friends ' are then taken deep into the maze of tunnels the CavernWings call 'home ', where they witness the unfortunate sight of Lunate, a Ghostspeaker in a terrible coma. Furtherly, they are trained to fight and protect themselves, being visited by a mysterious CavernWing prince, known as Scaphoid, and the CavernWing queen, Queen Ulna, via an animus-enchanted communications device.

Afterwards, Acacia and the group are given animus-enchanted objects, to assist them with their journey ahead. Acacia receives the Enchanted Bones - three cow femurs, enchanted to satisfy hunger, thirst or replenish the energy of a dragon once they are touched. In due course, when all the dragonets have claimed their gifts, they set out across Pantala, in search of the mystical 'Crystal Helm ' that could supposedly heal Lunate from his coma.

The group decide to head for Vinegaroon Hive, to begin their hunt for the helm, and reassure their families that they are, indeed, living and well. Acacia can regrettably not do this for himself, as his family are hidden deep within the Poison Jungle, away from the HiveWings and treacherous Queen Wasp. As they approach the Hive, Admiral goes off to find someone who can help with their disguises. He comes back with his adoptive brother, Oakleaf, who insists that he can make Acacia and Mallow look like normal SilkWings. With this in mind, the group head towards the back of the Hive, where they enter via a hole in the treestuff, created by Admiral's parents. Acacia receives his disguise, and nicknames himself 'Adonis ' for the time being, as it suits with his new SilkWing appearance. He and the others then leave Admiral's cell, only to find themselves wandering the streets of the Hive. Acacia and Cobalt separate off from the group, to try and find more information on the helm. They end up beside a HiveWing stall, not long before Admiral rushes back to them, claiming that he found someone who could help them. Intrigued, Acacia and Cobalt meet with the rest of the group, and they are soon acquainted with Lady Scarab, who explains to them that the Crystal Helm is kept in Wasp Hive.
