Roy

Sometimes Rotz can move on dry land, and when he emerges onto dry land, he's enveloped in an aura of water that literally creates clothing on him. Roy can walk freely on dry land, but his tail and those water dragon-like ears and horns are still there.
A dark purple long-sleeved shirt with a simple V-neck and small buttons.
A wide white strip of fabric across the torso resembles a wrap or decorative corset, adding contrast and dynamism to the silhouette.
Straight-leg gray trousers with a minimalist belt; the buckle is designed as a dark stylized element. A fur-trimmed cape—loose, with no fastenings, and fluffy light gray fur trim—creates a voluminous effect and emphasizes the cool aesthetic of the look.
Accent details include translucent turquoise cuffs and bold patterns on the cheeks, echoing the overall style. A large ponytail with a gray-blue pattern completes the look—though not part of the outfit itself, it shapes the overall silhouette and ties the outfit to the character's fantastical nature.

Through ripples and reflections
Roy loves using ripples as a "screen." He creates a gentle wave and watches a person's reflection tremble in it: by the way the image changes, he can guess where the person is about to step. If a person leans into the water, Roy freezes and watches the reflection in their eyes—he thinks this better reveals their mood. Sometimes he deliberately makes the ripples a little stronger so the reflection "floats," and chuckles to himself: "Now you look like a fairytale character!" Using "water mirrors" made of smooth stones and leaves
He collects flat stones and large lily pads and arranges them in the water so that the shore's reflections fall on them. The result is a whole gallery of "pictures": one leaf shows a person's boots, another the edge of a cloak, a third a wave of his hand. Roy swims from one "mirror" to the next, piecing together the image. This is his favorite tactic when he needs to spy unnoticed: he stays in the shadows, while the stones and leaves "watch" people. Roy is friends with nimble fish and often asks them, "Hey, look, who came to the shore?" The fish swim up, quickly examine everything, and return with news: "There's a man in a blue shirt!" "Someone threw bread!" Roy listens and nods, "Thank you, my little scout." He also blows chains of bubbles that rise right to the person's feet. Based on how the person reacts—jumping away, laughing, or not noticing—Roy draws conclusions: “Aha, this one isn’t afraid of water!” Playing “invisible companion”
When a person walks along the shore, Roy swims parallel to them underwater, matching their tempo. If the person stops, Roy also freezes. If the person sits down on a rock, Roy settles into the shadows beneath it and quietly watches. He considers it a game: "I'm like a gentle tide—always there, but you can't see me." If the person does notice movement in the water, Roy makes innocent eyes and blows a few bubbles into the air: "It's just a fish... probably."

Roy can be a water dragon underwater, but can also walk on land.
When Roy emerges from dry land, an aquatic aura envelops his body, granting him clothing, as described in the memory card. He's clothed, but the same skin and scales remain, as do the horns and tail. Let's say he's an aquatic dragon, but he's simply clothed and stands on two legs.

Favorite treats:

Glowfish. Small, almost translucent, with a faint blue glow. Roy considers them a delicacy and only eats them on special occasions—for example, after a successful day or when he wants to please a younger sibling.
Honey-flavored algae. These are thin, thread-like algae that taste slightly sweet. Roy collects them on sunny days when the water is warm and eats them like sweet straws. Bubble jellyfish. Tiny, almost weightless jellyfish that leave a slight tingle on the tongue. For Roy, they're like soda: delicious, fun, and short-lived.
Unusual eating habits:

He eats "with the waves." If the current brings him a small fish or shrimp, Roy considers it a gift from the water and makes sure to eat it. For him, it's a sign that the day is going well.
He shares food with his friends. He's not greedy: if he catches something particularly tasty, he'll always offer it to his brother, sister, or even a silver dragon: "Here, that was fun to catch!" He doesn't like "boring" food. If something is too soft, tasteless, or too big to play with, Roy loses interest. He values ​​dynamic food.

Roy isn't a gourmet or a strict hunter: he enjoys variety and treats food as a little adventure. His diet is a mix of easy-to-catch foods and those that crunch deliciously or glide pleasantly across his tongue.

Main menu:

Small fish and fry. Roy loves them for their speed: catching a nimble fish is a mini-game in itself. He doesn't hunt for hunger, but rather for the pleasure of the process. Shrimp and small crustaceans. Crispy and salty—perfect for a snack between chores. Roy can collect a whole handful and eat them right at the shore, sitting on a rock.
Mollusks. Especially those that hide in beautiful shells: he loves the moment the shell opens. Sometimes he even "competes" with himself: who can open it faster—him or the current.

Deep-sea divers. Their diet is almost like that of whales: they filter the water and eat plankton, small crustaceans, and jellyfish. Some older deep-sea divers can go for months without eating anything—their slow metabolism and the fact that the water itself brings them food are sufficient for them. Occasionally, they hunt squid, but do so slowly and deliberately.

Lake fogbirds. They eat whatever can be found in turbid water: bottom-dwelling mollusks, snails, tadpoles, and even soft algae. They have a special skill: they sense prey by vibrations, even when nothing is visible. Foggybirds also enjoy "quiet delicacies," such as larvae hidden in the roots of aquatic plants. Ice river dwellers. Their diet consists of cold-water fish (such as Arctic char), krill, and small crustaceans. They eat slowly and economically: energy is expended differently in cold water, and every bite must be as beneficial as possible. Sometimes they swallow small pieces of ice along with the water—this helps maintain body temperature.

Deep-sea stormfish. They require "heavy" energy: they eat large eels, fatty flounder, and octopus. Sometimes during storms, they catch fish stunned by the current—for them, it's like a ready-made meal. They eat rarely, but in large portions: one good catch can keep a stormfish full for several days. It's important for them to have "strong" food—as if stealing some of the strength from the water itself. River silversides. These are fast eaters: they need a lot of calories, but in small portions. Their diet consists mainly of small schooling fish (minnows, bleak), shrimp, and insect larvae. They love "snacks on the go": they grab a fish and immediately glide downstream. They also adore caviar—they consider it a delicacy because it provides a quick boost of energy.

General rules by which Roy builds relationships with alien species
"First a wave, then a word." Roy almost never approaches without warning. He makes a gentle wave or a noticeable splash—it's like a knock on a door. Other dragons appreciate this: it immediately indicates he's not sneaking up with bad intentions. "Don't trespass on someone else's territory without permission." Roy knows that each species has its own rules. He won't splash around in a storm zone or make noise near deep-sea dwellers. If he wants to enter someone else's territory, he asks first and offers something in return: "I'll swim here, and then I'll tell you what I saw near the shore."
"If you don't understand, ask, but don't mock." Roy isn't shy about saying, "I don't know how it works for you. Tell me?" And this often breaks the ice (literally and figuratively): other dragons see he's genuinely interested and are more willing to share their knowledge.

With the Ice Rivermen (dragons of cold waters, reserved and cautious)
To Roy, they are like frozen waterfalls: beautiful, but frightening in their stillness.

Temperature barrier. Roy can't stay in their waters for long: he gets cold, and his scales feel heavy. Therefore, their meetings are always short. Roy brings them warm stories: talks of sunny days, of hot rocks by the shore, and how the water smells in summer. The Ice Rivermen listen silently, but sometimes nod: "That's nice to hear." Rare alliances. If a great disaster occurs (for example, the river begins to dry up or the water becomes poisonous), Roy and the Ice Rivermen unite: he knows what's happening above, and they know what's happening in the depths and under the ice. In such moments, their differences become strength.

With lake foggers (dragons that can make water muddy and hide in the ripples)
The Foggy Ones love riddles and ambiguities, while the Swarm prefers straightforward answers and clear ideas. Because of this, they often misunderstand each other, but this doesn't stop them from respecting each other's skills.

Hide and Seek. Roy loves playing with the Fogmen: they disappear into the murky water, and he tries to guess where they are by the way the ripples tremble. Sometimes he succeeds, and then the Fogmen admit, "You have a good ear for water." Mistrust and respect. The Fogmen consider Roy too open: "He's like a ray of sunshine on water—you can see him from afar." Roy considers them too secretive, but admits, "If you need to hide from a storm, there's no one better than the Fogmen."

With the deep sea creatures (large, calm, live on the ocean floor and speak slowly, as if each word weighs a ton)
Roy feels restless around them, but he tries not to rush them. For him, the deep-sea dwellers are like old rocks: motionless, yet utterly reliable. Respect through silence. Roy doesn't try to amuse them: he understands that jokes are different in the depths. Instead, he brings them "water news"—tells them what's happening above: what the wind is like, what the rain is like, what the fish are doing. The deep-sea dwellers like this: they appreciate it when someone watches the surface and shares their observations. It's a useful exchange. The deep-sea dwellers know about underwater caves, hidden currents, and where the water becomes dangerous. Roy memorizes everything and then warns the others: "Where old Xaro lives, it's best not to dive: the bottom drops off sharply." In return, he shows the deep-sea dwellers how the water changes near the shore, and sometimes creates little "water pictures" for them out of bubbles—just to please them.

With river silverfish (light, nimble, live in fast rivers and love speed)
They're practically soulmates: both love to fool around and glide across the water. Only the silver ones are also very adventurous.

Competitions. Roy and the silver dragons constantly engage in mini-races: who can dash under a bridge the fastest, who can survive in a whirlpool the longest, who can make the most beautiful wave. Roy doesn't always win, but he has a special ability: he knows how to use the current to carry him forward, which amazes his rivals. There's mutual ribbing. The silver dragons tease Roy: "You're too fond of splashing around like a baby!" And Roy replies: "But I know where the quietest pools in the river are, so you can catch your breath after your races." Ultimately, they're less rivals than a team: if someone needs help, they quickly forget about the competition.

With deep stormers (heavy, powerful dragons that live in strong currents and love storms)
The stormtroopers consider Roy too frivolous: "It's as if he doesn't understand how dangerous water is." Roy, however, sees immense strength in them and is a little envious of their confidence. The way they communicate. The stormtroopers speak rarely, but loudly, as if shouting over the waves. Roy, in response, doesn't raise his voice, but makes sure to be heard: he creates a special wave that "carries" his words directly to the other person. Sometimes this earns respect: "He's small, but he knows how to raise his voice in a storm." A funny moment. Roy likes to swim up quietly and "nudge" the stormtrooper with a wave, almost sending him tumbling. The stormtrooper growls, but then, if the mood is good, he admits: "You may be nimble, but you're not harmful." And if the mood is bad, Roy knows better: jokes don't work in a storm.

With parents
For Roy, parents are the "main currents": powerful, stable, setting the general rhythm of life.

Father is a stern but fair guardian of the deep waters. He's used to speaking in simple terms and dislikes unnecessary fuss. Roy respects him, but is always trying to "break the seriousness": for example, during an important family meeting, he discreetly makes a small wave under the table to make his brother giggle. Father pretends not to notice, but the corner of his mouth twitches slightly—he's secretly proud of his son's ability to relieve tension. Mother is gentle but very sensitive: she senses the slightest changes in the children's moods by the way the temperature of the water around them changes. Roy loves coming to her when he just wants to chat about nothing: she won't lecture him, but will instead suggest sitting by the waterfall and listening to the water "tell stories." She's also the only one who can stop Roy from fooling around with just a look—and he immediately becomes serious, because her peace of mind is more important to him than any joke.

With a touch of mischief and a test of "compatibility." Because of his playful nature, Roy sometimes gently nudges people out of their comfort zone—not out of malice, but to see how they react. He might subtly introduce a gentle wave to see if someone will laugh or get angry, or offer, "Bet you can't stand still for a minute, like a stone in a river?" Most often, he does this to determine whether he can fool around with someone or whether it's better to take things more seriously.

With respect for their "land magic." Roy sincerely admires what people achieve without the aid of water or currents. He can spend hours watching someone build a boat, draw a map, or tell a story, and think, "Wow, they create entire worlds without a drop of water!" This admiration often spills over into compliments that sound a little odd but are very sincere: "You're so skilled with those pieces of wood—just like a salmon swimming upstream!"

He creates "water greetings": instead of the usual "hello," Roy discreetly nudges a pebble with his foot, causing a wave to start and gently splash the person he's talking to on their shoe. He does this with the utmost innocence, as if it were meant to be. He talks to ripples: Roy loves to lean into the water and "whisper" to the ripples, as if they were his personal messenger. If the ripples suddenly change, he solemnly announces, "News from the far shore!" and spouts off some absurd but optimistic version of events. He invents names for currents: every noticeable current in his pond has a name and character—for example, "Grumbling" (slow and seemingly offended), "Chatterbox" (fast, with a lot of splashes), and "Quiet" (almost imperceptible). He greets them out loud and sometimes argues if the current "doesn't want" to help him swim faster. He makes "rain forecasts" based on his senses: Roy loves to predict rain several hours before it starts, relying not on science but on "the way his scales itch" or "the smell of the air near the water." His predictions are often accurate, but the explanation always sounds comical: "Well, my tail is especially sensitive to moisture today!"

Playful Guardian of the Depths
Roy is the kind of friend who'll joke around first, then rush in to save someone. He loves the current and senses the mood of the water: he can tell when someone is sad by the ripples on the surface. His character is built on contrasts: on the one hand, he's frivolous about formalities and rules, but on the other, he's steadfast when it comes to protecting "his" bodies of water and friends. His jokes often involve water (splashes, bubbles, sudden waves), but he has a keen sense of the limits and would never intentionally offend. Strengths: empathy, quick adaptation to change, and the ability to defuse tense situations.
Weaknesses: impatience, tendency to put off “boring” tasks, vulnerability to sudden changes in water temperature.
Habits: humming melodies that sound like the lapping of waves; collecting unusual pebbles from the bottom; checking to see if the nearest stream has dried up.
Motivation: to maintain harmony in your pond and prove that even a "frivolous" dragon is capable of serious actions.
