Personality:	Earnest, but completely lacking in confidence, Lament is one who will slowly approach a subject or a decision, thinking about it and worrying about it, planning what he will say or do. Then, when he realizes his chance to contribute, decide, or just plain act is almost gone, he'll rush in, forgetting all the plans he made, and just do or say whatever comes to mind first as the best course of action. That's the whole reason he was last to bond at his hatching: he simply took too long, debating with himself whether he was Vagrant's best option, and if so, just how he should present himself! He doesn't think well on his feet, but he always means well, and he always has the best interests of others-- particularly his bond-- at heart. Perhaps as he gets older, he'll gain the confidence to act on what he thinks and plans, but for now he's just a little nervous about looking stupid, accidentally hurting someone, and just plain making things worse. Despite those personal fears, there are some things Lament is very brave about, usually things that don't pertain to affecting others! When someone really needs him, he is ready to offer whatever services he can, as long as he doesn't have to stand out or make any life-changing choices for someone else. He's not afraid to try new things, having a well-hidden streak of curiosity and even more well-hidden love of adventure. Until someone convinces him to be confident in himself, however, he isn't likely to do more than daydream and read about adventures, himself, of his own volition. Of course, if his bond goes out for whatever reasons, he is going to follow, no matter what-- but he might be a little nervous about it! On the whole, Lament is a quiet sort, when it comes to others. He is more of a listener than a talker-- he's a very good listener, in fact-- and more of an introvert than an extravert. While he is a devoted and reliable friend, he isn't very good at showing affection yet. That comes from his lack of self-confidence, a fear that whatever he might offer won't be good enough, or will be rejected. Though he is naturally an optimist, he is also easily dragged down by his nervousness.
Abilities:	For communication, Lament can chose between normal dragonic telepathy and verbal speech. He has the ability to teleport, as well as to breathe fire. Magically, he has both healing and song magic, though much more of the latter than the former, as he can only heal minor wounds and only through the medium of music. Lament has the rare ability to dream-walk, projecting his thoughts into the dreams of others. With age and practice, his abilities have increased considerably. As a child, he could walk only his bond's dreams, and only in thoughts. As a fledgling, his talent expanded to walking the dreams of others, and he began to learn how to project his image, as well. Once fully adult, he will be able to use dreams as transportation, influence the dreams of others, and, though this is not a magical talent but one born of experience, interpret dreams.
