This is Apple, my newest Dungeons and Dragons player character! They're a Taninim Bard, specifically a Maestro!

Imagine a young green dragon living in the Cloak Woods. They're curious, enjoying exploration and leaving the nest, making their parents anxious. One day, they stumble across a group of (what she assumes are) adventurers with a bard singing songs and playing on a lute. Immediately, she's in love. The sounds are enchanting, inspiring and entrancing, like nothing she's ever heard. She approaches the group to ask about their lovely music, but they know very well the capacities of a green dragon, even a young one, and prepare to attack. One would assume this would have frightened her and made her weary of travelers... but it was her kin's response of slaughtering the group that scarred her for life. Since then, against her parents' wishes, they devoted their lives to learning more about music and its magic, even crafting a magic wand into a conductor's baton. However, this was too much on their family of brutal, pretentious dragons: they kicked them out of the nest, never to return. This left the young dragon heartbroken and feeling like they didn't belong anywhere. They've tried wandering further from the forest of their youth but there's always a worry that things would go wrong. Having renamed herself Apple, she cares greatly for her kin, though she wishes they could see the beauty of harmony like she does. Perhaps drastic events will force her into action?
