Description
Ember is a great dancer, as her esteemed Equestrian guests are about to find out. As a fire dancer, Ember's movements resemble flames. She stays on the ground, since fire doesn't detach from its base, and makes both flowing and flickering movements. The motions of her wings cast fire-like shadows on the walls behind her.
She wears simple jewelry that doesn't interfere with her performance. Her crown and artificial horns accentuate her regal position. Her choices of metal are a departure from her mother's signature silver-tone style.
Her makeup is symbolic as well. The chin stripe signifies a few things. A dragoness wearing a chin stripe is unmarried. This stripe used to be a teardrop-shaped dot, as chin dimples were considered attractive in dragonesses when this tradition started. It evolved into a stripe over time. The stripe has gotten wider and is sometimes drawn forked, to resemble a tongue. This signifies the playfulness and youth of the wearer.
The eye makeup is supposed to resemble a scar a legendary dragoness got. These fake scars can get curly and are referred to as "spider leg scars" in Draconic.
All over the body, faded body paint is applied to resemble soot, also resembling a veil on the face. Chainmail veils are sometimes worn by brides.
