Nut Not at all, unless... (if you lick her, which is certainly something she encourages just to goad someone into doing something incredibly stupid as a lesson, she tastes of the blackest most burnt chili pepper dust that is still so hot and flavorful that you 'like it' but will possibly require hospitalization)

Powers

Gang - Even if Ackerly likes to think he's their leader, it's actually Matoko who is in charge; everyone responds to her, and at least once a week a spontaneous musically-aided ritual combat plays out somewhere near her

Pyrokinesis - given enough reason to do so, Matoko can spontaneously produce fire, usually in the form of a burning aura along with a dramatic close-up, but sometimes in the form of 'she is an actual legitimate burning ball of flame and anger come to shatter the world'; her pyrokinesis is heavily affected by what world she 'thinks' she is acting in

-- Immolation - she burns, bright and hot, do not touch her she can burn through any thin flammable object including your skin in moments, lasts as long as she thinks she needs to keep it up
-- Fireball - handy when you're cast in a role that requires wizardry or heroics, can aim and fire a 10-meter wide expanding ball of explosive fire, accurate to around 50 meters, will leave things charred or covered in soot if not outright burned
-- Flame Blast - a shorter range 20 meter long gout of fire typically looking like she's pointing at something but can be focused through a 'wand' or something else that will likely need to be made of entirely fireproof material
-- Ring of Fire - you need to be immobilized, how about just don't cross the ring around you mmkay? will prevent passage or movement but can also be cast around the body of a flying creature, doesn't do a lot of damage but is pretty scary, lasts around 45 seconds
-- Extinguish - can also take open flames up to 'the size of a holiday tree on fire' and bring them to herself, at which point she effectively consumes them
-- Manipulate Fire - or she can take that burning tree and move the flames to some other surface, up in the air, or wherever, they will expire if not given fuel
-- Immune to Fire - no matter the level of heat, Matoko is absolutely capable of surviving being hit or enveloped in virtually any form of flame, even up to plasma-heated but not for long in that case

Reality Shifting and Teleportation - it's entirely possible that Matoko believes this is all just a fantasy on her own world, but she absolutely does move between realities and 'fits in' when shifting, as though it's a role to be played for a script. She can suddenly appear nearby, within 200 meters, and often enough this comes with a change of costume or new lighting depending on the mood

Clusters

Role Playing +3 it's all this. Every moment. Full immersion role playing for the win. When you know there's always going to be another episode, or even a crossover, you just go all-in every waking or even sleeping moment

Choreography +2 Dancing is one thing, dancing with - or as - a god is another. And she'll be that good some day, and this can be applied to a lot of daily activities like getting to class through a crowded hall, moving through a nightclub or party, joining in a Bollywood flash mob, and just plain having a fun lunchtime dance-off

Skills

'Play Back' Overheard Conversations Perfectly, Once +2 She can emulate voices remarkably well, though they do look slightly out of sync with what she's mouthing? A conversation usually between two people (more though shorter term and more difficult to do) sounds precisely like someone recorded it and is now playing it back through her mouth. This must be a recently-heard thing, but can be a recording itself

You Only Wish You Were This Cool +2 Ahh but you're not. So sorry

Wire-Fu +1 Acrobatic flips, improbable in-air kicks, running up the side of a wall and landing behind you, all of these things are appropriate to some worlds but not others. However sometimes she just seems to completely defy gravity and even physics

Knacks

Hasn't Destroyed The World... Yet... +3 Maybe people in her dimension are a bit wiser than they seem, because she has not yet been cast as a 'world destroying goddess' ... yet. Feel grateful. She has thought of it, herself though

Badly Dubbed? +2 not really bad, just unusual if you are carefully watching her lips move, they are just a touch out of sync with everything else. Sometimes she herself seems slightly juddery, depending on whether she's been visiting flat cinema worlds. However, she can undersand and speak pretty much whatever language you need, with the caveat that it will definitely wind up with a lot of bad puns and inuendo, and might have strange wording or grammar errors

Shrill As Hell Angry Voice +2 /-2 When she was younger she was often cast as the 'troublemaking child' who usually wound up screaming in terror or for attention. This isn't fully her wheelhouse so much now, but she can still cause an attention-getting and sometimes ear-bleedingly loud screech when she's been wronged or is angry

Story

Dragon

Name: Lei Filidecelex
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium-small 8'7" s / 50' l / 75' ws
Colors: Red-White, body brilliant coppery highlighted red velvet, with highly metallic gold chest armor and pale silvery white inlay; wingsails shiny high-contrast white with silvery blue darks and frosty highlights; mane/tail and leg tufts deep red to shiny gold-yellow; wing feathers bright coppery-gold; claws white, horns black
Features: Mutt, with Azonese, Bonder Daemon, Avengaean Piralan and even some extra wings (to balance out the hathian lack of)... in other words, "as shown"
Powers: Winged Flight - big wings, strong and sturdy, she prefers to have a good warm updraft and likes to pose in mid-air because, you know, who wouldn't want her to? Quite acrobatic and while not a speedy flier, can circle for hours or perform difficult maneuvers even in tighter quarters than just up in the sky
Teleportation, Genrehop(?) - she'll get Matoko where and when she's needed most, and it's highly likely that some of Matoko's powers have leeched into the dragon, since they can and have showed up in 2-d movie realms or as 'the stars of their show and that is literal gaseous burning stars'...
Telepathy and Verbal Speech - Lei is a very smooth talker, with a very large vocabulary that unlike her bond is accurate to a very high degree even when she's speaking something other than English. She has at least three human languages on tap, including English, Japanese, and Urdu; her passing-knowledge allows for simple communication with Korean, French, and Cantonese. Her voice is as rich and velvety as that red color on her fur. Her telepathic mind voice is as rich but also can simply convey ideas and avoid the complication of words entirely. But... she does prefer words, they are much more fun
Guile - You know what else is fun? Messing with people using words they think they want to hear, or even those they think they understand but don't. She is all about nuance. If she was a djinn she'd be top tier for 'be careful what you wish for'. She can talk herself into and out of virtually any situation imaginable, and given her rider as well as her own abilities... that is a lot of situations
Shapeshift - Dragon-Dragon though basically this just shifts the belly armor away and adds a lot more floof, depending on her mood or needs, she could have a massive floppy mane, a crue-cut, much longer ears, a tail with fluff to hide behind, you want little tufts on your wing knuckles? got em in spades...
Gene Manipulation - should she feel the need to reproduce, her offspring will be catered to whatever that whim needs. Small and fast for size and build? Okay just gotta find the right partner and give it a little oomph. Want to select for those specific powers on a checklist? mmkay, gotcha. But this is going to be a while off, she's not going to be off mating with anyone male or female until Matoko and her friends are all graduated and 'legal wherever they might show up'
Avengaean Functional Magic - got a light? she does. Need to spruce up those feathers and make sure your fur is behaving? done. spinning pure magic into brief but useful telekinetic bursts, or even emulating the fire or spark of her bond, Lei always shows up pretty and with the right accessories... Also if she is a little peckish she's been known to 'eat' magic, but it does require there be magic present. Plenty of that on Twoarth but please be careful it might actually be sentient
Parentage: Ilece Oranato + Lex Filidechiroptidae with lineage on pages as it goes back a ways
Origin: FFF Chaos Redux by Phe, discord, Shipping squares
Other Info: got two moms what more could you want? Of all the dragons with expressive faces to ever express on a face, Lei is most certainly the most expressive
