Your name: klinneah
Character Number: I have no idea what this means, but I'll say 1 since this is my first character.
Character Name: Viril
Age: In turns 19
Birth Season: used to keep track of ages Mid-Summer 2562
Gender: Female
Rank: Candidate
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance:
Her brown, almost black eyes are framed by long black lashes and long bangs, which she keeps neatly trimmed, that sweep the sides of her angular face. The rest of her bronze-brown hair, if she ever let it down, would fall to her shoulder blades, but she loves it tied up and out of the way when she's working. She's a bit on the short side at 5' even, but she makes up for it with a broad, well-toned build. Although flat-chested, she was rarely picked on, and even now only gets a few laughing glances from boys she long ago ceased to care about.
As for clothing, she prefers simple and comfortable over fashionable. Her favorite color of late is deep forest green, which sets off her bronzed skin. A simple, tunic-like shirt and loose pants, along with soft wher-hide boots, are her usual outfit, although she will slip into a dress for Gathers, Hatchings, and other formal occasions.
Personality:
Reserved, shy, loyal; any of Viril's friends might describe her by any of these adjectives. She can generally gauge another's personality as soon as they meet, and usually only speaks to those that she likes. Because of this, she only has a few, admittedly very close friends. She left them all behind when she moved West, of course, but in due time she had a circle of friends at Horizon Hold. In learning to survive in the harsh environment of Western Continent, she has tried to reach out a little more and to open herself up to helping and being helped.
History: From the North only. Include their move West
Born in the heat of summer at Fort Hold, she was the last of the seven children of minor holders. Because of this, she only ever got cast-offs from her older siblings, and was constantly babied even by her youngest brother, less than two years older than she. Her parents were argumentative, and when Viril was only seven her mother eloped with a Benden man, whom she met at a Gather. Her father, lost in grief, hid himself away, leaving the children to run the hold. When Miri, the oldest daughter, was of marriageable age only a year later, she was courted by a holder with much more land and power. Soon the family hold was disintegrated, and all her family moved to Miri's husband's hold. Not long after, her father drank himself into unconsciousness and never woke up.
Miri's husband was an excellent holder, but an appalling father figure. He often lost his patience at the children, even going so far as to lock them in their single bedroom for days at a time. Radul, the oldest brother, ran away with the next younger brother, and Viril never heard from them again.
By the time Viril was seventeen, only she and the twins, Honina and Chehia, were left at the mercy of Miri's husband. He'd gotten even worse over the years, taking to drinking and gambling the hold away. So when a brown rider came to Fort Hold, announcing the move West, Viril was only too glad to go. She didn't know whether the twins would go, but her desperation to get away from Miri and her husband overrode even her own desire to stay with the only people she knew. Besides, the rider had announced that most of his Weyr would be going, too, and he was quite handsome...
After two years living with the Holdfolk at Horizon, Viril was happier than she had ever been. So it was quite a shock when the basilisks attacked the Weyr, breaking every social barrier she'd come to know, and driving her back into herself. All she knew, from then on, was that the Queen was dying, and that the Weyr was in dire straits.
Relation to Existing/Pending Character?: Not yet. ;P
Future: Where would your character like to see themselves or, more to the point, where would you like to see them? She wants to Impress a Gold, but knows she'll probably end up with a Green, if she even stands at the Hatching at all.
Pets: None
Colour: Green (1c8a19)
Name: Swifth
Appearance: With a shiny, rich coloured hide and delicate seeming figure, Swifth is pretty for a green. Elegant as a fully grown dragon and cute as a hatchling, you can't look at her and not be charmed by her looks. With a sculpted head, fine neck and slim legs, narrow chest and sinewy tail, she can hold herself with grace and dignity should she choose to. Her lightweight build also gives her great mobility and agility - something she can put to good use. Though for his delicate stature she pays in her stamina and as a fighting dragon will be unable to last as long as most of the other greens.
Personality: This little girl is continuously sticking her muzzle in even if it's not wanted. Her endless curiosity knows no bounds and she does not hesitate to ask "Why?" She feels the need to know what something is or investigate it often heedless of what harm could come. She seems to view the world with a wide eyed innocence and is never fearful of exploration. Fortunately she's adept at getting out of trouble too. With lithe and quick movements she manages to get herself out of the tightest of situations even if only to go and shove her nose straight back in from a different angle. Very little overcomes her curiosity and she seems to always go back for more.
Impressed to: Viril (kilnneah)
Reason: Where Viril is reserved, Swifth is endlessly nosy. She will not hesitate to investigate something, be it human, animal or object, and will drag her rider along with her for the ride. With the help of Swifth Viril will learn to open up to other people, that talking isn’t that bad, even if it’s with someone she wouldn’t previously have considered having a conversation with. And if she ever get’s into a situation where she isn’t comfortable, Swifth will always be there to get her out of it again, whether or not it was her fault that her rider was in it in the first place or not.
