Turtle Dove is loosely based on pseudo-dragons from Dungeons and Dragons. She stands at 6 inches tall. She is, for the most part incapable of speech. She is empathic, and can psychically detect simple ideas and emotions. When communicating with humans, she has to rely on pantomime. She is generally grumpy and aloof, especially around new people. The venom in her stinger is able to temporarily transform others into pseudo-dragons.
