Story:
One day as Goldie was venturing into a vast cavern for gem hunting to gather materials for her dresses, she came across something odd along the way. She saw gems scattered around the floor, though when she picked one up to inspect it, it looked like something took a clean bite out of it as a chunk of the gem was missing with visible bite marks. Goldie shuddered a bit pondering what kind of creature could eat and chew through gems as if they were biscuits. Proceeding with caution she managed to get some very nice gems for her dresses. Goldie doesn’t know how but everytime she comes back to this cavern, the gem outcrops in the rocks seem to magically replenish over time, though she only takes what she needs, no more, no less. But as soon as she was wrapping up, she heard a crunching sound coming from one of the side caves. Curious, she went to have a look and who she found was not who she was expecting. Entering the side cave, Goldie was met with a massive plump poofy diaper butt, wobbling around as Goldie giggled a little. She noticed the one wearing the pamp was some sort of dragon, with a purple scale hide and unmistakable tail. As she got closer, to her surprise, she saw the ragtag mark on the dragon’s right leg meaning this was another lost ragtag. The dragon soon noticed Goldie’s presence, turning to face her with half a gem still in his mouth snacking on it while holding a few other gems. Goldie realized he was the one who been eating the gems she found on the floor, as both awkwardly said hi to each other. As both of them sat down after recognizing each other as ragtags, the dragon introduced himself as Spike, explaining to Goldie how he managed to escape the lab, fleeing to this world ending up in the cavern, making a little hideout for himself and living off the common gems the cavern produced. To Spike’s relief, Goldie explained the current situation with the ragtags as many have been found and are now living in Crownreef together as one big family, which excited Spike. Though Spike had this odd sense of familiarity with Goldie even though they never spent much time together in the lab, as if Goldie reminded Spike of someone he knew from his previous life, someone he was close to. This strange sense of familiarity came from 1. Goldie’s profession as a clothes designer, 2. Her having her own fashion line and store which Goldie talked about earlier with him, and 3. Her searching for gems to use in her dresses. He doesn’t know why he feels this way towards Goldie, mostly because he cant remember anything after what the lab did to all the ragtags, but he feels a sort of attachment to Goldie making him want to be closer with his ragtag sister, which Goldie was cool about. Afterwards, Goldie helped Spike pack his things from his hideout as they both headed home with Spike excited to meet the other ragtags.
