Rossata(said ROSE-zah-ta), Now I've wanted to get this character uploaded for a long long time however, like with most of my denser lored character it's rare I have the strength to publish them with all their details. But I am going to try and give you all I can here, in summary form.

Rossata is Sovereign Prince to the Princedom of Fluttering Scales. Now that is almost right, Fluttering is the best word I have in my language for it. But that actual work used by his people, describes the pirouette-ing or falling while turning motion that leaves and flower petals do. The word they use also seems to convey that this as a reflective quality. All in the Princedom of Fluttering Scales is closer to "the Princedom of Shining Scales that Dance threw the Air" and the 'scales' are the scale off a month's wings.
This name serves two purposes, both to pride the Princedom on it's artistic language and pride in beauty through hard work and dedication as well as artistic expression and creativity. But also, as a reminder that this land is to avoid being crossed as they are as magnificent in battle and unafraid of valiant sacrifice if it means saving those they love.

But less about the land and more about the Moth!! Rossata is uncertain of where to stand gender wise, though he does use he/him pronouns. He will also take to they/them and she/her without trouble if addressed in this way. Though he is Prince of his Princedom, Prince is actually a gender-neutral term that some women have used in the past.
In his pre-adult years he had a wrapped interest in gardening and even had a small cottage made for him, just so he could manicure and maintain the grounds, spending great lengths of energy to blend his wants with the natural leanings of the land and so have something that harmonized the two.

It was, as a child, in his parent's garden that he first met his future mate Zevris, a prince-ling of the neighboring kingdom. The princeling's parents had stopped by for a diplomatic meeting and the young black and red moth had run off to seek adventure. Zevris has a Passion for Dance but also for Fluffy Animals. After catching sight of a white and black flecked rabbit he went to peruse but lost sight of it. He came upon what was actually a crouched Rossata and grabbed him, only to startle the young white moth from his root studies. From this day forth the two became great friends and only grew closer and closer. In their late teens they were on the cusp of becoming partners, lovers and perhaps even more. Often spending afternoons that blended into evenings, tucked away Ross's many scouted vantage points, sharing bits of meal or tender affections.

(Minor mentions of war in the next paragraph only, skip to the paragraph below if you wish to avoid it.)
Sadly, the two were parted when their countries simultaneously erupted into warfare, not against each other but against outside forces from either side. Valiantly the Kingdom and Princedom fought back to back, old allies made stronger by the support of one another, neither willing to lose both for themselves and for the knowledge that defeat would spell the end of their dear neighbor. Both Princes were called away for service. Zevris was a lead commander that worked his way up to general. Rossata was more of a tactician making tough decisions over a map only leading when his specific unit was necessary. BOTH poured their hearts into it, Both left with scars mental and physical, both healing. Of the physical damage Rossata sustained damage to the whole of his right leg, this sometimes makes him faulter in dance, but he's going through the strengthening physical therapy but still it is unlikely he will be 100% on it. That he has relearned to walk at all is something he worked hard for. On Zevris's part, the fellow flutterer took a blast to his wing and now staggers when in flight.
(Paragraph end)

More than two decades of non-contact between the two due to the demands of their people, country and so forth and their parents decided to set up a Ball. A wonderful coming together of the nations to celebrate not only their survival/victory but also the strength that each endured and the support that was given. Dance is one of the primary languages of the Mothkin so a Ball open to all was the Perfect way to do this. The Crowning event would of course be the Prince's Dance to show the unity of the two nations together entwined. There also may have been some whispers of shipping and hopes for a marriage proposal.
This all made Rossata Very nervous because it has been YEARS, he wasn't even aware Zevris was still Alive and he was feeling very guilty about all that and very shy while trying to maintain the stoic demeanor of a prince that all it all together.
Of course, there was the Practice dances and an Official Re-introduction. The introduction went smooth, if a bit stiff and the practice was like wise. But they learned each other's weakness's quickly and how to balance for the injuries each sustained. It was hard for romance Not to rekindle, being so close, so intimate with one another. That, and the encouraged lone time to 'build familiarity with your dance partner.'

The Ball went off to Great Succuss and a proposal was made at the height of an unchoreographed stunning imporv routine made high in the air. After the two were married, Zevris chose to peruse dance, and Rossata wanted to say and work on the healing of a native marshland hit hard by the war and greatly meaningful to him. Then extend his efforts out to the rest of the lands. The pair live with each other, deeply in love and still able to enjoy their respective passions.

That's all I have energy for tonight~ for moth lore. More questions you have can be asked below. Rossata is an RP OC so feel free to have at it in or out of character.
