  Magic Resistance. The dragon has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
  Innate Spellcasting. The dragon’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 13). It can innately cast a number of spells, requiring no material components. As the dragon ages and changes color, it gains additional spells as shown below.
Red, 1/day each: dancing lights, mage hand, minor illusion
  Oange, 1/day: color spray

  Blue, 1/day: major image
  Indigo, 1/day: hallucinatory terrain
  Violet, 1/day: polymorph
  As the bond between Lev and her was formed on the highly magical realm of The Feywild their bond acts as a "find familiar" spell: Telepathic Connection. While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically.
Additionally, as a Bonus Action, you can see through the familiar’s eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses it has.
Yet, unlike the find familiar spell, she remains a living, independent entity that is distinct from Lev in a way unlike a typical familiar would be.
  Familiar. In combat, a familiar rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can't attack, but it can take other actions as normal. When a familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form.
Actions:
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack:
+7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 1 piercing damage.
Euphoria Breath (Recharge 5-6)
The dragon exhales a puff of euphoria gas at one creature within 5 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw, or for 1 minute, the target can’t take reactions and must roll at the start of each of its turns to determine its behavior during the turn:
1–4. The target takes no action or bonus action and uses all of its movement to move in a random direction.
5–6. The target doesn’t move, and the only thing it can do on its turn is make a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.
  Zephyr is a dazzling and ethereal creature, her iridescent scales shimmering in hues of all colors, that shift and dance in the light. Her wings are delicate yet vibrant, glowing faintly with a soft, magical luminescence. Her bright blue eyes are large and expressive, often reflecting her playful curiosity and sharp intelligence. Despite her small size, Zephyr carries herself with an air of confidence and charm, her movements graceful and deliberate, as though she is always performing for an unseen audience.
  Currently serving as both [Lev] closest companion and the Loremaster of [The Twilight Covenant] , Zephyr can most often be found invisibly perched on Lev's shoulder, offering wisdom and wit in equal measure. At 61 years old, she is still considered young for a fairy dragon, yet she possesses crucial prophetic knowledge about the long-awaited return of dragons to Nehwon/M'Brell. This unique insight, combined with her natural draconic heritage, makes her an invaluable source of knowledge in preparing for the prophesied events to come.
  Personality
Zephyr is the embodiment of whimsy and mischief, a playful spirit who delights in harmless pranks and clever tricks. Her sense of humor is matched only by her intelligence, which she uses to devise elaborate schemes to amuse herself and those around her. Beneath her mischievous exterior lies a kind and benevolent heart; Zephyr's pranks are never malicious, and she often uses her antics to teach lessons or bring joy to others. She is fiercely loyal to her companions and will go to great lengths to protect those she cares about. Zephyr is also deeply curious, with a love for storytelling and lore. She has a particular fondness for Draconic history and fey legends, often weaving these tales into her interactions. Her melodic voice and expressive mannerisms make her a captivating storyteller, and she takes great pride in her ability to entertain and inspire.
  Backstory
  Zephyr was born in the heart of the Feywild, a realm of boundless magic and ever-changing landscapes. Her early years were spent flitting through the vibrant forests and crystalline glades of her homeland, learning the art of mischief from her elders and honing her magical abilities. She was a creature of pure whimsy, her days filled with laughter and her nights with dreams of adventure.
  Her life took a dramatic turn when her curiosity led her to the borderlands of the Feywild, where the veil between worlds was thin. While chasing a wisp of light, she stumbled into a hunter’s trap—a cruel device designed to ensnare magical creatures like her. The shimmering threads of the trap bound her wings and sapped her strength, leaving her helpless and frightened.
  It was in this moment of despair that she met Lev, a 23-year-old scholar and noble of the Seelie Court. Lev, who had been exploring the borderlands as part of his studies, heard Zephyr’s cries and came to her aid. Using his knowledge of magical devices, he carefully dismantled the trap and freed the young dragon.
  The bond between Lev and Zephyr was immediate and profound. Zephyr, though wary at first, quickly warmed to Lev, sensing his kindness and intelligence. Lev, in turn, was captivated by Zephyr's playful spirit and sharp mind. From that moment on, the two became inseparable, their friendship a testament to the magic and wonder of the Feywild,
  Quirks and Preferences:
Favorite Food: Zephyr has an insatiable love for apple pie, a treat she discovered in the Material Plane and now considers her greatest indulgence.
Prankster Spirit: Her pranks are legendary among her companions, ranging from harmless illusions to elaborate schemes that leave everyone laughing.
Storyteller Extraordinaire: Zephyr’s tales are as colorful and enchanting as her appearance, often blending fact and fiction in a way that captivates her audience.
  Conclusion
Zephyr is a vibrant and enchanting character whose whimsical nature and magical abilities make her a beloved figure in the world of M'Brell/Nehwon. Her playful spirit, deep knowledge, and unwavering loyalty ensure that she is not only a source of joy and wonder but also a valuable ally in the face of adversity. As a fairy dragon, she embodies the magic and mystery of the Feywild, bringing a touch of its enchantment to every corner of the Material Plane she visits.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Zephyr possesses the characteristic agility and grace of a fairy dragon, with an exceptionally nimble form that allows her to perform aerial acrobatics with ease. Her wings remain pristine and iridescent despite her travels, and her small but athletic build reflects perfect health and vitality aside from a small notch in her left ear scale - a reminder of the magical trap incident that fuels her current wariness.

Body Features

Zephyr's scales shimmer with an ever-changing iridescent display, shifting through rainbow hues as she moves - from sapphire blue to emerald green, ruby red to amethyst purple, each scale catching and reflecting light in its own unique way. Her wings are translucent with an opalescent sheen, creating prismatic patterns in sunlight, while her tail tapers elegantly to a fine point that often twitches when she's excited or curious. Her small form, barely the size of a house cat, is perfectly proportioned with delicate claws and a gracefully curved neck.

Facial Features

Zephyr's bright blue eyes are her most striking feature, large and expressive, sparkling with intelligence and mischief while reflecting deep wisdom beyond her years. Her sleek, triangular head is adorned with delicate horns that curve slightly backwards, catching light with the same iridescent quality as her scales. Her snout is refined and petite, with subtle ridges that give her an eternally subtle smile, while her head frills flutter delicately when she's particularly amused or intrigued by something. Small whisker-like sensory appendages near her nose twitch and move as she picks up magical emanations in the air around her.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Early Life in the Feywild
  Born in 2961 RJ within the shimmering borders of the Feywild, Zephyr emerged from her egg in a rare grove known as the Prismatic Sanctuary, where the barriers between the Material Plane and other realms grow thin. Her family belonged to an ancient lineage of fairy dragons who maintained connections with metallic dragons across various planes, serving as messengers and knowledge keepers long before dragons vanished from Nehwon.
  Family Legacy
  Zephyr's family maintained an extensive archive of draconic knowledge, passed down through generations. Her mother, a scholar of planar convergences, and her father, a keeper of ancient draconic traditions, ensured she understood the significance of her heritage. Their role as custodians of dragon lore became even more crucial after the dragons' departure from Nehwon, preserving knowledge that would otherwise have been lost.
  The Turning Point (2965 RJ)
  At the age of four, while following traces of ancient draconic magic near the borderlands of the Feywild, Zephyr became ensnared in a poacher's trap. This led to her fateful meeting with Lysi'ander Vae'Khyll, who freed her from the trap. Recognizing in him a kindred spirit who shared her family's dedication to protecting realms, she chose to stay by his side.
  Knowledge Exchange
  Their partnership proved mutually beneficial. While Zephyr shared her family's extensive knowledge of draconic lore and language with Lev, she gained unique insights into the complex political landscape of the Feywild through his position in the Twilight Wardens. Her family's ancient connections to dragons across different planes provided valuable context for understanding the implications of their eventual return to Nehwon.
  Role in the Twilight Wardens
  As an unofficial member of the Twilight Wardens, Zephyr's knowledge of planar connections and draconic lore proved invaluable. Her ability to turn invisible at will made her an exceptional scout, while her family's accumulated wisdom helped the Wardens understand potential threats from other planes.
  The Exile and Formation of the Twilight Covenant (3022 RJ)
  When Lev faced exile, Zephyr's decision to accompany him was influenced by her family's traditional role as bridges between realms. In Nehwon, she helped establish the Twilight Covenant, bringing generations of accumulated draconic knowledge to aid in preparing for the dragons' return. Her family's connections across planes have proven crucial in gathering information about signs of draconic activity.
  Present Day
  As Loremaster of the Twilight Covenant, Zephyr continues her family's tradition of preserving and sharing draconic knowledge. She maintains regular communication with her kin in the Feywild, who monitor planar convergences and signs of draconic activity across realms. Most often found invisibly perched on Lev's shoulder, she serves as both companion and advisor, offering insights drawn from centuries of her family's accumulated wisdom.

Gender Identity

Her gender identity and presentation are influenced by the magical nature of the Feywild, allowing her to express herself in a way that transcends traditional norms while remaining true to her identity.

Sexuality

As a female fairy dragon from the Feywild, Zephyr expresses her identity through the magical lens of her homeland. She identifies as panromantic asexual, forming deep emotional bonds based on magical resonance and spiritual connection rather than physical attraction.
  Her gender presentation is confidently feminine, influenced by the fluid magic of the Feywild where identity can be as changeable as the seasons yet remain true to one's core self. For Zephyr, being female isn't just about physical form - it's an expression of her magical essence and inner nature.
  Like many fey creatures, she experiences attraction primarily through magical and emotional resonance. Her close friendship with Lysi'ander exemplifies this - a bond formed through shared purpose, trust, and genuine understanding rather than conventional attraction.
  In the Twilight Covenant, Zephyr's perspective on relationships helps bridge gaps between different beings, showing how connections can transcend physical forms while remaining true to one's authentic self.
