Verdanzy
"I have two left feet - I'll never be able to dance like my parents, but one day I will!" - Verdanzy Nightshade

Verdanzy is a Sylvari Pact Soldier raised Winterlayt and Tharen Nightshade. Though both showed concerns with Verdanzy following in Winterlayt's footsteps, Verdanzy was overjoyed to be given the chance and is eager to please their parents.

Biology
A towering giant among the humanoid plant race known as the Sylvari. Golden bark skin marked with deep back markings. Long dark foliage highlighted with a golden glow. Their face is beautiful yet marred, two strange holes in their cheeks exposing almost human like enamel teeth.

Personality
Verdanzy is forever learning about the world, and what they like and dislike. Very much a child in a giants body, Verdanzy is desperate to please their parents, trying to make dresses like Tharen and trying to fight like Winterlayt. They're prone to crying in frustration when they don't get things right on the first try, and need constant reassurance that they're doing ok.

Verdanzy is very earnest, and a terrible liar. With their parents' high moral standards as their guidelines for living, Verdanzy also cannot tolerate liars and cheats.

Despite being taught to fight, Verdanzy actually hates violence and hates killing even more. However as they don't wish to disappoint Winterlayt or others around them they fight regardless, despite Winterlayt continuously saying to them that it's ok if they don't wish to fight at all.

Abilities
Verdanzy has no magical skills. Taught basic close combat skills by Helvelta Cushiese, and an assortment of armed combat by Sarienne under Tharens' guidance, Verdanzy then took to training with Winterlayt as the commander was determined to make sure his child could defend themselves.

Highly proficient in physical combat thanks to their three tutors, Verdanzy can physically out run, out punch and out kick any opponent.

Verdanzy's highly dubious "berserker" trait they inherited from Winterlayt's VK-a-1's elixar generating organ means high destructive power in close combat. However the drawback is it takes the equivalent of a childs tantrum to activate. As a result Winterlayt had no choice but to have Urlae Summer and himself teach Verdanzy how to control their rage, resulting in Verdanzy actually being very hesitant and meek.
