-- **agate** — Profile bust of a friendly yellow amphibian/dragon type: large paddle-shaped gill frills and two small nubs on top, freckles on the snout, big oval eye, tongue blep; chunky dark-brown textured outlines on flat light-blue ground—hand-drawn sketch look.

Sutherland’s *Wings of Fire*—treat the warm **sand-yellow** palette, **desert-dragon** silhouette (lean snout, light frill/sail read on the head, optional **tail** suggestion even if cute-stubby here), and dry, patient energy as a **SandWing** echo without quoting canon designs wholesale: same *kind* of creature as that namesake, filtered through your softer, guide-from-the-edge read.

+- Notes: Rain still instinctively pictures Agate through a femboy-coded lens, which may matter more to the character design than literal demographic categorization. Original online handle **`AgateTheSandwing`** (see Character design) ties him to *Wings of Fire*’s SandWings in spirit, not as a one-to-one lift.
 
 ## Relationships
 In the captured archive, Agate's clearest live tie is to Azure, with smaller signs of easy coexistence around Beanie. Combined with your note that Agate and Azure come from the same older community orbit, he reads less like a stranger and more like an old satellite re-entering the court after a long gap.

+## Character design (extrapolation)
+
+Chat exports show whatever avatar he was using day-to-day; **canon for the movie** is built from **personality**, **history**, and the fact **you, Agate, and Azure first crossed paths through a shared *Wings of Fire* phase**—then he stayed as the loud, status-hungry founder type.
+
+- **Core read:** **Sky / court jester / “I belong near the throne.”** Cool **azure-to-teal** gradient in clothing or hair, asymmetrical silhouette (one sleeve, one dangling strap, one exaggerated earring), light **theatrical** makeup—someone who performs closeness. He should look like he **dresses for an audience**, not for inventory screens.
+
+- **WoF DNA without cosplay literalism:** subtle **Pyrrhia-adjacent** easter eggs—enamel **wing** pin, scale-pattern **socks** or lining, horn-shaped hair vents, a **tail** that is clearly a **fashion tail** or belt piece (playful, not a full dragon morph). Reads as “grown up in dragon-fandom spaces” alongside Agate’s SandWing echo, but Azure’s vibe is **showy Night-Rain hybrid energy**: color-shifty accessories, flirt-forward, **attention is oxygen**.
+
+- **Founder / ex-mod subtext:** one **badge** or ribbon that looks like a stripped title (empty frame, crossed-out mod icon)—small, so it plays in close-ups. Keeps the femboy **Fizzarolli** jester lane from Identity: pointed shoe or jester boot optional, **bell** on a choker that rings when he moves—audio story for “clingy, never still.”
+
+- **Vs Agate:** Agate is dry sand and sidelines; Azure is **open sky and spotlight**—same fandom soil, opposite staging.
