Which characteristics does each culture value the most?
Dayflies- Beauty and performance. In a society with significantly less diversity (and challenges) than the others, Dayflies have become somewhat superficial. They idolize those with things like unique patterns, so long as they are not *too* unique, and those with apparent physical superiority to others, like those who have the right wing shape for gliding or taller cantins.
Loboflies- Free thought and confidence. They have a strong sense of culture and community, but welcome change and new challenges. Loboflies find that those who respectfully challenge their norms are the ones who shape their kind’s best future. Naturally, because of their stature, they may be subject to– for lack of better wording– belittlement from others, which is why confidence in one’s self the face of adversity is admired and encouraged.
Snowflies- Versatility and hardiness. Their way of life calls for every member of their community to have a purpose and problem solving abilities. Those who have many skills or are good at learning new ones are essential to them. Hardiness is a matter of survival, those who are not hardy tend to pull others down with them.
Nightflies- Sociability and cooperation. As the first to enter a modern society outside of the Great Forest, Nightflies think it essential to be as agreeable as possible. Keeping good relations requires aptitude for finding solutions, understanding the thinking of others, or having empathy. This also means being able to reel in one’s pride.
