@Blitz Boom ‘Thiz definitely feels like the one who’d bring out the most sides of the character that is Dragonfly- while also seeming like the type the Opal might be interested in: Influential, somewhat ambitious, open minded. Its still kind of a hard decision- aside from Loss, who I feel wouldn’t work as well for a first interaction with Dragonfly generally- but I flipped a coin for it! and I felt the need to flip again, so obviously Dia’thiz is the choice I want to make.

@Blitz Boom A few notes I need to ensure you know about Dragonfly before anything else to clear seeming misunderstandings. I’ll give a proper response after you respond, in case the fun facts I provide give you new ideas or make you reconsider your initial options! Also… Apologies for, what, a month long wait? I think? Two months? February kind of passed me by and I got less and less motivation to write as it went- fortunately it’s slowly coming back lately. Additional apologies for any spelling errors, I’m on mobile, and not even my usual phone! Not used to the apple keyboard… Anyway, fun facts! First of all, Dragonfly- and by extension any other Geode Ponies- aren’t actually made of metal. Not even while they have their luster. It’s just a visual effect from generations of exposure to the extreme ambient magic of Geode. Notably a Geode Pony’s eyes do in fact shift between physical real gems, and the unique environment of Geode means their metallic appearance might be physical in but a hundred years, but as of Dragonfly’s generation the Luster is simply a semi-rare Geodian visual trait. Secondly- soul magic. A much bigger part of what you were considering: Dragonfly has nothing to do with it. That’s something only the Opal is involved in. And further, the only things the Opal uses souls for are reading ponies to learn how to manipulate them, and sucking them in to be shredded into raw magical energy. Thirdly, speaking of The Opal… Minor spoilers if you want even more ideas for starting out with Dragonfly. All these fun facts are to address possible misconceptions and give even more ideas. However, even if they don’t change anything, I still have an option in mind from those you listed. I’ll wait for your response to say it though, in case you come up with an even more fun sounding idea, or reconsider the one I had in mind.
