Ceres

Diplomatic, professional, and never at a loss for words, the Ceres moths are by far the most accepted by general society. Many Ceres are nobles, diplomats, or negotiators. As a people, they have managed to throw off most of the common misconceptions and elements of the uncanny surrounding mothfolk culture - a large part of this simply due to the fact that most of them simply don't speak Sylvan nor engage in more "mothly" behaviors when around the more "common" folk. The fact that their multicolored wings tend to be emblazoned with beautiful, intricate patterns helps in this as well.
