Appearance: Neither male nor female, from the tip of the diri's scaled, mer-like tail to the highest arc of it's curled antennae, Cara is around 8 and a half inches tall. The diri gracefully hovers, floats and moves through the air in the same way a sea or river dwelling creature would in water. Somewhat humanoid in appearance, the diri's features are childlike; it's skin, scales, dragon-like fins or wings, and skullcap have the appearance and texture of tree bark, leaves or moss, in addition it's insect-like antennae.
Personality: In spite of a childlike appearance, at times, Cara's ways are much like those of an old soul. The diri's thirst for knowledge and curiosity about anything new or remotely interesting, leads to a talkativeness that can be overwhelming and frustrating at times. Not the least bit shy, Cara is as quick to share whatever observations, information and wisdom it's managed to collect and store with Arlo or those he knows and trusts most. Cara loves jokes and riddles, both hearing and telling them, even though for the most part, the diri mixes them up, gets the punchline wrong and generally, doesn't grasp how they work.
