Species: Helian Crystalwing

Element: Light/Fire 
This hatchling's head and tail burn so bright that it hurts to look at directly, which makes caring for it a bit of a challenge. This is a bit of a problem, as it does not have complete mastery of its power over flames yet, and so it is often accidentally setting things ablaze with its tail, especially at midday, when its magic is strongest. Being around a helian crystalwing hatchling for too long, especially when the sun is out, also comes with unique risks, as they radiate an aura of optimism and certainty, which if left unchecked, can lead to some brazenly bad decisions. The best course of action for anyone raising a helian crystalwing hatchling is to also raise a selenic crystalwing at the same time, as the two will balance each other out and make caring for both much easier.
Helian crystalwings have great control over light and heat, as their name implies. Their powers likewise rise with the sun and are greatly diminished at night, though anyone foolish enough to threaten one will discover that they still are more than capable of defending themselves at night. The crystals on their bodies blaze like miniature suns, and are potent light and heat sources for years after being shed, making them useful for a wide variety of applications. Helian crystalwings have a passive aura that increases the confidence of all who are nearby, and as such they are particularly good companions for adventurers who need an extra shot of bravery. At the Keep, though, helian crystalwings are usually kept with selenic crystalwings so that the two breeds can temper each other's effects.
