Description

Willow has always been a shy one, unlike his cousin Umbra. Always the first to get picked on, and always the first to find fault in his own work. Growing up knowing how hard it is to describe things to his mother who can't really see much of anything due to partial blindness, he devotes his life to medicine. Sometimes this works out as his cousin happens to know a lot about different flowers with different healing abilities...well, when she's not getting into trouble. As a colt/hatchling, Willow would follow Umbra around religiously as she often protected him from other young colts that would poke fun at his strange appearance. Unlike his father, he doesn't have wings. With his mother being a unicorn and his father half-unicorn, he was born with what looked mostly like a dragon...but sadly the wings just would not develop. Willow never minded though; one solace that he had was that his aunt Claire didn't have wings either. Often when he wasn't tagging along behind Umbra and getting into trouble he would lean in close and listen as she told stories about her own upbringing and use her advice to give himself at least some courage. Though he lacks in confidence, he makes up as a wonderful medicine-maker. His knowledge of the medicinal arts is almost uncomparable, and hopes to give his mother full sight before her time is up.

Artist's Note: WHY WAS THIS ONE SO HARD AND THE OTHER SOOOO EASY!? It seriously took me forever to pick the right design for Willow T_T I don't know why. I think Galaxy Fest and multiple commissions finally gave me artist's block. ANYWAYS I did my absolute best to blend in the different races and family features...I just hope he doesn't look silly to others. It really was tough to design him and force myself to make him nothing like Umbra...now THAT would be bad. Can you imagine TWO Umbra's?! Madness. Discord would be proud though, that's for sure...

For :iconkilala97: 's contest :D
