This is my first FirstX map. I've already done a map for Chayn, but I have heard that essence map avatars are made from this style. ;)

Scales:
—Color: The pastel blue sky, a robin's eggs
—Motion: Sunshine's underwater rippling reflection
—Shine: The sunshine on sapphires, a newly polished mirror
—Size: A balled up fist, a tennis ball, or a ping-pong ball (for scales on her head)
—Hardness: the strength of a thousand diamonds, the rocky face of the mountain
—Thickness: the armor of soldiers, the glinting steel of a shield
—Texture: rocks that have been worn smooth, rippling silk

Eyes:
—Color: The bottom of a lake, the dark depths of the ocean
—Sparkle: The tiny stars at twilight
—Depth: A deep well, the ocean glittering with stars
—Motion: 

Talons, teeth, back spikes, and horns:
—Color: A bed of milky pearls, puffy clouds
—Sharpness: New swords, sewing needles
—Texture: Hard bone, polished smooth

Strength:
—Of Body: Two giants, the severity of a thunderstorm, a firm but gentle hand
—Of Mind: A city wall, flawed, but still strong to withstand many attacks

Wings: 
—Power: The arms of a veteran farmer, a ferocious windstorm
—Strength: Tough weather-beaten canvas, thick tree boughs

Tail:
—Size: The width of a tree trunk
—Texture (fur at the end of her tail): The richest of all animal furs, silky smooth
—Color (fur): The rippling ocean surface at night.

Loyalty:
—Endurance: Unless betrayed, forever and always
—Amount: A husband's wife, in sickness and in health

Love:
—Amount: A neverending fountain
—Intensity: Sunshine, "true love's first kiss"

Anger:
—Intensity: A roaring sea in a violent storm
—Danger (for whoever makes her angry): A mother bear robbed of her cubs

Nice, I like it. :cool:

From the first paragraph I get lots of detail about your (is it a dragon?) character's appearance.

I especially liked a few different parts, here's on of them:

I like how you used metaphors that would connect with all of the things listed in that category. Good job. :D
