A walking contradiction: Fluff, sets up riddle and introduces a series of contradictions.
Is the creature whom I seek: Fluff
0 | Fluff.
A sunkissed night, a darkened day: Color reference. Lace is a dark color “sunkissed” with gold dusting.
0 | As this was based on contradictions, I don't feel this was a solid clue. It seemed to be pointing to some combination or several colors, made me think more paint than any solid color. However, wasn't outright misleading.
Pale shadow rough, yet sleek: Companion reference. His “shadow,” Fajira, is a white dragon. As a dragon, she’s covered in rough scales, but Lace’s profile describes her body as “vaguely reminiscent of a cat’s,” “supple,” and “agile”—in other words, sleek.
+1 | Companion reference.
Delicate in theory, though in practice you are not: Name reference. His name, “Lace,” implies delicacy, but “his body holds several scars as testimony to his experience on the battlefield” (quoted from profile)—clearly, he is no frail thing, but an experienced fighter.
+1 | Name reference.
Come gather round, Helovians, and tell me whom I sought! Fluff.
0 | Fluff.
2/3 necessary to pass. Overall, this is a FAIL to me.
Something you might want to do in the future is include more than 3 clues, that way you still have a chance to pass even if some of the clues don't necessarily contribute to the 'scoring' as in this case. Try to be a bit more specific, and I advise avoiding fluff. If you think long enough, you should be able to come up with a way to word things or rethink lines so that they do contribute to the stealth!
