Duncan (Barista pseudo dragon)

Appearance

Duncan is a short, soft-bodied pseudo dragon, standing just under 2'8" tall. His lightish medium red scales have a gentle, almost velvety sheen, especially when the light hits just right. He’s a little chubby in a very cute way—his belly has the slightest roundness to it, just enough to jiggle a bit when he laughs or hurries around the café. His thighs are impressively thick, giving him a sturdy, huggable silhouette. They're the kind that stretch his pants just right, drawing a lot of attention when he’s standing on his tiptoes to reach something. And his butt? Delightfully plump and perfectly round, bouncing slightly with every step. If he’s not wearing an apron, he usually wears soft, fitted shorts or slightly snug pants that highlight that tail-thumping derrière. His wings are proportionally small but expressive, flaring slightly when he’s surprised or folding neatly when he’s being shy. He’s got a long, flexible tail with a smooth taper, often swaying lazily or curling around his legs when he’s feeling cuddly. His snout is short and rounded, with wide, sparkling eyes full of emotion—whether it’s hopeful obedience or flirty mischief. He has tiny horns poking out from above his head, curving slightly backward, and his ears are fin-like and twitchy, always responding to sound or affection. Around others, especially when he’s off the clock, he tends to puff out his chest just a little, trying to show off without realizing how irresistibly adorable he looks doing it.

Personality (On-work)

Duncan is a sweet, soft-spoken pseudo dragon barista with a heart as warm as the coffee he serves. He’s quite short, which often adds to his innocent, unassuming charm. Naturally submissive and obedient, Duncan is the kind of little dragon who always wants to do his best and make others happy—especially his favorite regulars. He’s polite and attentive, often finishing others’ sentences with a bashful little “Yes sir!” or “Right away!” His wings flutter when he gets flustered, which happens more often than he’d like to admit. Though he might seem a little timid, Duncan has a deep well of loyalty and affection once someone earns his trust or kindness. Despite his obedience, Duncan isn’t a pushover—he’s just eager to please. He’ll scurry to remake a drink perfectly if you so much as frown at the foam art, and he’s always asking, “Was it okay?” with those big, shiny eyes full of hope. He keeps his little café space spotless, wears an apron a bit too big for him, and occasionally bumps into things trying to carry trays bigger than he is. He’s also known to curl up in warm corners during breaks, hugging a mug of cocoa

Personality (Off-work)

When the apron comes off, Duncan becomes a total cuddlebug. Still obedient and eager to please, but now with a playful, flirty twist. He’s a little more relaxed, swishing his tail as he leans in close during conversations, his voice soft and syrupy. He loves affection—giving it, receiving it, basking in it—and craves physical closeness like a cat curling into a lap. He’s the type to cling onto your arm while talking, nuzzle into your side without asking, and act like it’s the most natural thing in the world. “You don’t mind if I stay right here, do you?” he’ll ask while already snuggling into your shoulder. His wings twitch when he’s excited or flattered, and he gets visibly melty when praised or petted—melting into a quiet, flustered mess with a pleased little hum. Though he’s a little flirt, it’s never pushy—he blushes just as easily as he teases. He loves being told he’s a good boy, and will obediently do little tasks or favors with a soft “Yes sir…” and a wag of his tail, hoping for a pat or a kind word in return. He's affectionate, clingy, and maybe just a little emotionally dependent on those who show him kindness—but in the most endearing, cuddly way possible.

Duncan’s sexuality

Demisexual and Homoromantic Demisexual – Duncan isn’t likely to feel sexual attraction until he’s formed a strong emotional bond. He’s shy and deeply sensitive, so he thrives in relationships built on trust, safety, and gentle affection. For him, physical intimacy comes after cuddles, tea dates, and long talks under fairy lights. Homoromantic – He’s romantically drawn to other boys (especially kind, gentle, maybe slightly protective ones), and gets flustered super easily when shown affection or praise by them. He’s a total sucker for doting, affirming partners—especially ones who notice the little things about him and genuinely cherish his warmth. --- He’s the type to bake a cinnamon bun shaped like a heart and leave it secretly for his crush with a note that just says “I hope this is sweet enough for you.” and then hide behind the counter for the rest of the day blushing.

Relationships

Duncan’s Relationship with Friendship & Dating Friendships: Duncan deeply craves connection, but he’s shy and unsure how to initiate it. He’s used to being the helper, the listener, the one who serves, so the idea of someone choosing to spend time with him just to enjoy him feels almost too good to be true. He may seem cheerful and bubbly at work, but in truth, he rarely gets past surface-level interactions. He treasures anyone who takes the time to ask how he’s doing. When someone shows genuine interest in him, he latches on emotionally fast—he’ll bake for them, make tiny hand-knit gifts, write them little notes. He overthinks everything—“Did I talk too much? Did I make them uncomfortable? Are they just being polite?” He fears being a burden, so he rarely reaches out first. He’s the kind of friend who remembers your favorite drink, your birthday, and what you wore the day you first talked. He’s not a loner by nature—he’s just… isolated by circumstance. He doesn't know how to ask for closeness, only how to give it. --- Dating: Dating is very intimidating to Duncan, but it’s something he fantasizes about constantly. Crushes absolutely devastate him—he blushes, stammers, avoids eye contact, and then goes home and knits while whispering, “Ughhh, I’m so embarrassing…” He adores gentle flirting, but only after he feels safe. If someone flirts with him too boldly too soon, he shrinks up—but secretly replays it in his head for days. Once in a relationship, he becomes super clingy in a soft, affectionate way: “Would you like me to warm your drink for you, sweetie?” "I miss youu.. *just talked to them 2 hours ago*" He’s a hopeless romantic. Candles, shared cocoa, rainy cuddles, sweet pet names? Yes, yes, YES. His love language is acts of service and physical touch. He expresses love through tiny favors and constant cuddles, and he desperately needs affection and reassurance in return. He doesn't fall in love easily-but when he does, it's deep, and sincere
