Unofficial Dragon Challenge 2024

People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.
— Ursula K. Le Guin

It's 2024, the year of the Wood Dragon in the Chinese zodiac and to celebrate that, Hayate and I will be hosting an Unofficial character challenge.

What

Write an article about a character. This character can be a dragon, but they do NOT have to be. They can like dragons, live in a dragon villiage, live in a house with a dragon ornament on the door, happen to have a dragon necklace or othervise somehow be related to dragons. ...this dragon should also somehow be related to wood. So maybe a wooden dragon toy for children that the character grew up with? A wooden dragon necklace that their lover gave them before the lover died? A weird person living in the woods that is actually a dragon? Only your imagination is the limit.

I had been planning to write up a dragon owning the Antwerpian forts, this challenge helped inspire me there.

The dragon component is pretty obvious but the wood is a little marginal - there's a forest involved, heyo.
