NAME Peria
AGE 20
GENDER Female
SEXUALITY Pan
RANK Rider
CRAFT
HAIR Light brown
EYES Gray
HEIGHT 5'3
WEIGHT slightly chubby
OVERALL APPEARANCE
Of soft and full build, Peria is somewhat short: 5'3", and carries most of her weight in her hips and her chest. Her features are round, with soft gray eyes and wide, full lips. Her hair, which is frequently to the length of her chin and worn short, is a rich light-brown shade, and is naturally quite wavy.
PERSONALITY Pre-zirath:
The death of Azelith was the death of Peria. When her green, barely a few months old, slipped between with several others in her weyrling class, Peria was left a broken woman.
Very quiet and very shy, Peria has a lot of trouble making eye-contact and talking to people. She's almost become xenophobic in a lot of ways, and would shut herself away, but for the lifestyle of hte weyr making that impossible, and her firelizards pushing her towards other people.
She means well, however, and glimpses of her old self occasionally can be seen: especially when she's interacting with children or animals, which are more and more frequently hte chore rotations she's assigned to. With them she's patient, and gentle, and she almost occasionally smiles.
Most of the other times, however, she's quiet and withdrawn. She is not cold— even in the depths of her sorrow, Peria is never cold, which speaks to a level of warmth of her old self. She has, however, picked up some.. habits, as a result of the lost of Azelith; she doesn't pay as much attention to her surroundings as she ought to, resulting in occasional injuries. She drinks more wine then she probably ought to, and when she talks, she tends to stutter.
Zirath has helped things considerably, however. she is regaining confidence. Though she still is very subdued and her actions typical are drawn inwards, she now smiles more and talks more. Emotions she still feels very strongly, including her old sense of loss, and she is prone to feel dispair more easily/be more affected by emotions. She is still, occasionally, frozen by fear. However, Zirath functions as ground to hold onto, and she can find her balance much more then she used to, metaphorically. Rather then collapse and be unable to figure out how to function, she can now stand up and handle issues.
She's also showing a surprising stubborn streak. It takes awhile to bring it out in her, you have to really push. If the cause is strong enough, though, she won't back down, and will use every inch of her resolve to create a steely wall to support her own causes and beliefs.
HISTORY
Peria grew up a weyrbrat, the daughter of a pair of dragonriders. She was very familiar with dragons at an early age, and dreamed of riding them, as her parents did: she dreamed of green wings. Growing up in the weyr's lower caverns was fairly typical- she was raised more by those assigned to the creche, since her parents were busy dragonriding, but she had a good relationship with both them and their dragons.
When the disappearances started happening, things changed. Her parents were amongst the first to go, inexplicably, and it struck her, hard. It was enough to put her off standing for a clutch for a full-turn, despite her dreams. She spent a long time recovering emotionally from that.
She wasn't entirely recovered when the then-weyrlingmaster approached her about standing. The clutch badly needed candidates, and she would be appropriate. Would she be willing to stand at all? She did so, putting her head up- and as luck would have it, she impressed the same green wings she'd been dreaming of, her whole life.
This was hte last clutch during the period of disappearances. For awhile, everything was great. Peria considered herself lucky, until the weyrlings started going between as well.
Some managed to get to their babies in time, and join them in the blackness— Peria did not. Before she quite realized what was happening, Azelith had slipped between, never to be seen again.
PEria, who still wasn't entirely over the death of her parents, was devastated. Her lifemate, dead! She spent several days awake— literally, days, awake— hoping that perhaps against all likelyhood, Azelith would come back from between.
The green didn't, and when this became clear, Peria tried to slice her wrists open. She hadn't been sleeping, and hte healers knew that— that combined with the fact that she'd recently lost her dragon was enough to make the healers check on her regularly, which is the only reason she survived.
Since then, the healers insist she's recovered admirably, and indeed she's no longer making attempts at her life- but she's still clearly a shade of herself. She takes comfort in what is familiar- her firelizards and the other dragonless weyrlings of the clutch who also lost theirs.
She stood at the request of the dragonless candidatemaster, urging all the younger dragonless to Stand for candidacy. The reason was simple: there were simply not enough young people left at the weyr to stand for clutches, and they needed every dragon they could get. Thus, she surprised herself by agreeing, and managed to Impress young brown Zirath.
Zirath gave her the functionality she'd been lacking. He didn't really fix her, though, he gave her something to hold onto. That something saw her through weyrlinghood, and Zirath did not disappear into between as her green had. Thus, she's now doing better then ever, surprisingly-- even through the move, which has so many of her fellow riders feeling down on their luck.
Brown Zirath
NAME Zirath
AGE 2 (22 Months)
GENDER Male
PERSONALITY
Zirath is a very nice dragon, this fellow will always be gentle and easy going. He does not like to be mean or seeing others being mean to people. He is the type of dragon that will always talk nice about someone no matter what they've done to him or his rider. He is the kind of dragon that will talk nice even about those who have killed others, though that is less common than other things.
This dragon is caring and will do all in his power to help others. He has a compassionate heart that will allow him to help others in any situation. Zirath loves to show he cares by giving others gentle words or being kind to them. He will always express his caring and that is perhaps a good thing considering all that His has been through.
Zirath is the type of brown that would prefer to be second in command rather than a true leader. He does not like to be leader of anything, he would rather listen and dictate his actions based on the true leader. He is also the kind that will always listen to orders and follow them to the letter. He does however have the potential to lead within him, this is shown most often when he is in a dire situation.
Zirath is strong minded, able to make decisions and stick to them. He does not often do things unless he knows that they are right! He will voice his thoughts, he is also strong minded in that he will not surrender easily to the will of queens. Zirath will not always listen to bronzes if he feels their orders are wrong or not fair to him and his rider.
Zirath knows when Peria's attention is else where and it is needed here. He will gently nudge her back to the task at hand. Zirath is always willing to do this and will even nudge others if it is needed. He feels attention should be on what people are doing not other tasks.
Though he is all this he does fail at some things, he will always try his best though. Zirath will never put forth less than one hundred percet effort, he does not like to leave things undone. He will always do all he can to do his best, though he is only a living creature he knows he'll fail he hates it.
Zirath will without him even knowing take control of a situation. He does not realize that he has the latent will to lead, he will always do what he can when he takes control. But the moment he realizes he's leading he will relinuish it to someone else. He is always willing to give up leading if he is in that post.
APPEARANCE
