The time for beating yourself against the ground is through
-Reference to her youth and her coat color. She is a blue dun like the ocean which is ancient and beats against the shore
I would personally not pass ancient child. Though the ocean is ancient, there was not a color or another reference that says ocean. So you have to guess first that ancient = ocean, and then that it has to do with color.
Perhaps a lion, but always a lamb
-Ref to her lions tail and sweet personality
Pass - great juxtaposition; clever use of a popular phrase
If you're not careful
Your frail bird's bone will snap
-Ref to her horn which is hollow like a bird's bone
Pass- also very clever! Hollow bones for a hollow horn. I like it.
Met by kindness and a caring soul
Your heart will not thaw if you stay where you are
-Tiamat was welcomed to Helovia by Lena who is very kind and decides to join Aurora Basin which is a land of ice and snow, therefore no melting.
I KNEW it had something to do with the Basin! :D Good thinking. I liked this one. Pass.
Come with me and join the crew
'Cause here, you'll find family too
-Ref to how she thinks the ocean and sky are her parents, both of which can be found in the Endless Blue
Pass - very clever
Every day I shall await breathless
For your arrival
Come to me by day
You need not hide anything from me
-Color ref: she has markings that look like water streaks that can only be seen in the light or by day.
Nothing else in this statement is leading to a particular marking, so I would not pass this one.
Although you keep them close to heart, they have already been forgotten
-Ref to her parents and how she doesn't remember her real mother and father, but keeps her imagined parents close to her heart.
Clever!
Overall Pass
In the future, just making sure that your clues cleverly lead to the attribute you are trying to hide. Like ancient waters would have been good.
