Winged Flight, quite the flier, acrobatic and energetic in both clear and rainy conditions, and always delightful to watch his antics
Swimming and Climbing, not just in the air, Sunshower's agility extends to climbing sturdy large things such as big trees or buildings; he's not a super big dragon, and can easily slip up a pine or palm tree if it's thick enough; and then he can do a big perfect dive into deepish water, he won't try diving into a human pool because he will likely displace much of the water... But he swims with a quick dolphin-like motion and can erupt from the surface and start flying in one move

Color Shifting, as most Rainwings are capable of changing their colors he can too, though he usually has a similar set of hues going: gold tones from dark brown to brilliant yellow-white on belly, webbing, and wings, and indigo through pale blue on body, with cloud markings that can range from white to deep grey depending on the mood; all of this can be done consciously but he does also have a strong emotional response and will 'rain' in greys and faded shades if he's feeling sad or lonely, super shiny with excitement, and the like

Communication, he can speak English, and several dialects of Draconic, and is learning other forms for the local area since there are quite a few to choose from

Venom Spit, as a Rainwing he does have the ability to huck up a loogie that lingers in a sort of steamy slightly-acidic glob. He's quite accurate as to its placement but needs to be careful not to hit any living thing as it will definitely act as a strong and painful acid; this acid might damage delicate surfaces or cloth, but it's not outright deadly unless left untreated; he wouldn't dare inject this stuff into open wounds, and is very careful about asking if someone has any such openings or even sensitivity to it before taking aim in classes

Charming To Boot +3 when he's relied upon, he shines the most, and hopefully his fellow students will take a shine to him at some point

A Bit Of A Nerd +3 his ability to speak different languages means he can also collect lore from them! And he does that with style, he almost took one of the costumery classes as an elective but figured they'd need way too much in the way of props and materials to put armor or other stuff on him where his coloration might not be enough

Coloration Aplenty +3 Enjoys adding to the mood with his coloration and patterning, and can accent a debate or bring information to attention with a flash of his wing or a bright 'storm' on his body
