Lovegrass, Mako’s friend/kinda landlord, in that she lets him live in her library in exchange for him maintaining her elaborate scroll collection. She’s a nice enough dragon, if prone to seeing other’s lives as her own personal projects
she doesn’t live in Shorefront but visits from time to time - often toting even more expensive and probably ancient manuscripts to add to the library. she has four kids and no current partner, the aforementioned son being the youngest

🩵🩸
Weirdo girlfriends that are obsessed with each other.
What's better than one manic pixie dream girl? Two manic pixie dream girls!
Longgrass:
🌿🩸
You'd never expect it but it was certainly not a surprising pairing for the other characters.
The kind of couple that are absolute sweetie pies to everyone else but bully the shit out of each other.
midveil stuff! midveil stuff!
24! For whatever OCs it applies to!
24) Can they play any instruments? If so, what do they play?
Taipan plays a variety of wind instruments (the exact logistics for a long-snouted, stiff-lipped animal playing a wind instrument are ehhhhh im working on it), including a ‘fire flute’, an instrument that is 30% actually playable and 70% spectacle. She performs professionally and occasionally teaches music. (This is why their nose ring is above their horn, it’d get in the way otherwise)
Sail was a fan and player of biosonar-inspired deep-sea music, wherein both the percussion and its echos are part of the beat. The music is ‘felt’ more than heard because SeaWing ears aren’t adapted to hearing underwater, which is why it appeals to Sail
Flash played the drums exclusively to piss off his family and then started actually enjoying them
Lovegrass collects instruments but doesn’t play any, she has people she pays for that!
Calyptra had to learn a few silk-based string instruments as part of their ‘work’ and they HATED it
All harts sing, but Eirwyn particularly used to partake in a tradition of sung storytelling that is more alike to oral poetry than music but ehhhh. It’s close enough. He doesn’t sing anymore because he is EMBARRASSED!

The Uninvited Guest: Uncovering the Truth About Lovegrass
Did you know that Lovegrass, a seemingly harmless weed, is responsible for an estimated $1.2 billion in annual losses to the agricultural industry in the United States alone? This staggering figure is a testament to the weed's ability to outcompete crops for water, nutrients, and light, ultimately reducing yields and affecting food security.
Lovegrass (Eragrostis spp.) is a type of annual grassy weed that belongs to the Poaceae family. It is native to Africa but has been naturalized in many parts of the world, including North America, South America, Australia, and Asia. This weed thrives in a wide range of environments, from dry pastures to irrigated fields, and can grow up to 3 feet tall.
One of the primary reasons Lovegrass is so problematic is its ability to produce an enormous amount of seeds. A single plant can produce up to 100,000 seeds, which can remain viable in the soil for up to 5 years. This means that even if you manage to eradicate the weed from your field, its seeds can lie dormant, waiting for the perfect conditions to germinate and start the cycle all over again.
Growth Control and Eradication
When it comes to controlling Lovegrass, prevention is key. One effective method is to use a pre-emergent herbicide like Prodiamine. This herbicide creates a barrier on the soil surface, preventing Lovegrass seeds from germinating. For optimal results, apply Prodiamine in early spring, before the seeds have a chance to sprout.

In addition to using herbicides, cultural practices like crop rotation, proper irrigation management, and maintaining a healthy, competitive crop stand can also help reduce Lovegrass populations.
Identification and Habitat
Lovegrass can be identified by its slender stems, flat leaves, and a distinctive "V" shape at the base of the leaf blade. The weed produces small, greenish-yellow flowers in late summer, which eventually turn into a feathery plume.
Lovegrass thrives in areas with full sun to partial shade and can grow in a variety of soil types, including clay, loam, and sand. It is commonly found in fields, pastures, and along roadsides, where it can outcompete native vegetation and reduce biodiversity.
Impact on Ecosystems
Lovegrass can have significant ecological consequences, particularly in areas where it has been introduced as an invasive species. By outcompeting native grasses and wildflowers, Lovegrass can alter the composition of plant communities, leading to a loss of biodiversity and ecosystem function.
In addition, Lovegrass can also affect wildlife habitats and food sources. For example, the weed can reduce the quality and quantity of forage available to livestock, leading to decreased productivity and profitability for farmers and ranchers.
Conclusion
Lovegrass may seem like a harmless weed, but its impact on agriculture, ecosystems, and the economy cannot be overstated. By understanding the biology and ecology of this weed, we can develop effective strategies for controlling its growth and preventing its spread. Remember, prevention is key, and using Prodiamine as part of an integrated pest management plan can help reduce the risk of Lovegrass infestations.

#1783 - Eragrostis curvula - African lovegrass
Other names include Eragrostis chloromelas, curvula (Schrad.) Nees var. valida, jeffreysii, Poa curvula, Boer lovegrass, weeping grass, weeping lovegrass, and wire grass.
Another grass species tthat become a major pest. And this particular one, one of the ornamental forms, is at least the third go it’s had at becoming invasive - it originally showed up in Australia before 1900, probably as a contaminant of pasture seed, and then got introduced deliberately as pasture (only palatable when young), as a soil stabiliser (drought tolerant and rapid coloniser of disturbed ground), and as an ornamental grass (and promptly escaped again). It is now naturalised in all Australian states, including Tasmania, and has successfully invaded the UK, northern Africa, the Canary Islands, Asia, New Zealand, USA and tropical America as well. It’s a serious threat to a number of endagered plant species, outcompeting them for space and changing the local fire conditions. It is tolerant of very acidic and very basic soils, and grows easily in mine spoils.
In its native range - southern Africa - it’s an important forage for livestock, as well a being collected for baskets, brooms, hats, ropes, candles, food, charms, and in funeral rituals. Some cultivars are still planted along waterways, mountainsides, for land revegetation, and as a nurse crop for other species.
Grows up to 120cm tall. Easily confused with other introduced and native lovegrasses including stinkgrass (Eragrostis cilianensis), Mexican lovegrass (Eragrostis mexicana) and elastic grass (Eragrostis tenuifolia).
