Name: Aleyi
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Homosexual
Rank: Weyrling
Appearance: Aleyi is a slight girl, thin and leggy. She has an oddly high collarbone and paler skin that seems to sunburn easily and often in unexpected places. Although of average height for a girl her age, about 5’6”, Aleyi has basically nothing but height to her thin form.
Thick, shoulder-length hair falls flat from Aleyi’s scalp, its hue a dirty blonde. Some people (jealous of her being blonde, perhaps) claim that it is really light brown, but Aleyi firmly believes otherwise. Her eyes are a light ice-blue but defy their coloring with boundless warmth towards nearly anyone. Her face is long and narrow, like the rest of her really, but not particularly angular. Aleyi’s chin, in fact, seems to almost melt right into her neck.
Aleyi prefers wearing brighter colors and looser clothes. Her voice is a breathy alto- not painful to listen to but it can get annoying after a while.
Personality: One of Aleyi’s most unique traits is how she always seems to be short of breath. Every inhalation is deep and remaining really active for long amounts of time is hard since she always seems to just run out of air. It’s nothing new to her but can seem a little odd to others at first.
Although she might have random pauses between everything she does to really breathe, Aleyi is a friendly, excitable person and would start talking and never stop if she only had the air in her. Aleyi is the sort of person who always has something to talk about and is not very good at listening or staying at all on track. Something can catch her interest for only so long before she’s off down some entirely different road.
History: Born in a small, nondescript Hold, Aleyi grew up more with her friends and younger siblings than busy parents. She had one older sister, but Perra was quite a bit older than the rest of the children and was rarely seen by them. Occasionally she would be there in the morning to grab some food before heading out for the day (and often the night) and that would be all they saw of her. Aleyi’s two younger brothers, Erin and Bren were much more interesting. Very much a tom-boy, Aleyi’s friends growing up were mostly boys and she acted like the them; a fist fight was the best way to solve a problem and mud definitely made the best pies.
It wasn’t until she was about twelve Turns that one of the women of the Hold took some initiative and decided to turn Aleyi into a lady. The girl’s parents didn’t mind her at all, and didn’t mind that someone else was taking what probably should have been their duty. The woman failed at making Aleyi like most feminine things though, except for gossip, and a couple years later simply gave up on her altogether.
It was during the time at that determined woman’s house that Aleyi found herself quite fascinated with her daught, Brookelev. Although she was one, girl’s were quite the mystery to Aleyi. She had grown up with boys and knew their ways, not the odd ones of females.
After some of her own confused advances towards Brookelev, it didn’t take long for Aleyi to discoever that the girl could administer quite the kiss and they carried out their own odd sort of relationship in the shadows. Brookelev’s mother was a noted gossip and held a sort of power in the little Hold and the girl didn’t want to disgrace her mother by letting anyone find out that she thought she was in love with another girl. Aleyi didn’t mind helping out her friend much and so not even any hints of a rumor was ever spread about the pair. As it turned out, Brookelev’s mother eventually decided that she must have actually had some successs with Aleyi since now she was friends with her daughter, another girl.
Shortly after Aleyi’s seventeenth birthday, she was Searched. She didn’t want to go at first- Aleyi like it in her Hold and being with Brookelev. Her brothers about died when she told them of her troubled thoughts and assured her that if she Impressed she could always come back and visit them. Both brothers probably would have done anything to become dragonriders themselves. Brookelev was alright with it too- her mother was beginning to grow suspicious and was actually starting to play matchmaker for her daughterer, not knowing that she had little interest in boys by now. “When you get a dragon you can come back and save me,” she had told her. So Aleyi left with the Bluerider to Nyocia Weyr.
She has been there a few days now, long enough to get somewhat settled but not enough for her to get over the sensation of reluctance she still has about being at the Weyr.
Pets: Gold Fire-lizard Brooke
Age: 3 Turns
Appearance: A larger Gold, Brooke is about 51 centimeters in length and every inch of that is lustrous queen. Her hide shines with a very pure gold shade, bright and metallic. She always seems to be holding onto a proud stance, her expression is always aloof. Everything Brooke does has a sense of regality to it and she makes sure others see it.
Personality: Vain. Brooke thinks she is the best thing ever to walk Pern and is constantly making sure that others are aware of it. Aleyi almost has to live in constant fear of the flitt because she doesn't always think that of Brooke and the Gold catches on quickly and isn't afraid to deliver a quick nip to the ear or arm. She does quite like the idea of striking fear into others though, so a lot of people get away with things just because she thinks that she's frightened them into thinking what they do.
Brown Fire-lizard Tuck
Age: 1.5 Turns
Appearance: Tuck is a little fire-lizard, only 30 centimeters, and very good at looking cute. A short snout, combined with large, endearing eyes are the main asset in this. As for coloring, his hide is a cinnamon type color, and vertical stripes of a brown just a bit darker than his normal shade run across his back.
Personality: Tuck loves to play with Pip, but anyone else makes him nervous. On his own, he is an extremely shy Brown and he doesn't do anything without a little prodding. With Pip, however, he is more wild and obnoxious- he borrows from her much more outgoing personality with big results.
Green fire-lizard Pippin (Pip)
Age: 1.5 Turns
Appearance: Like her brother, Pip is small, only barely 23 centimeters. Her hide is very green, but a sort of soft green, and on the light side. She is speckled with darker and lighter greens across her body.
Personality: Pip never takes into account what others think; she lives her own life and no one else can have any effect on it. Even Brooke's orders fall on deaf ears, but luckily the Gold does her best to avoid communicating with a creature as low as a Green. Pip does love to play though, and any male who admires her at all is on the good side of her list. She's easy to get along with as long as those around her are willing to eat or dart randomly around.
For Riders:
Dragon Name and Color: Blue Jerglith
Name Origin: In ‘The Seven Swabians’, Jergli was the fourth Swabian and after getting frightened by a beetle and surrendering to a rake, he fought a hare with his fellows.
Age: 3
Appearance: Jerglith’s hide is obsessively blue. It is only one shade throughout, a very clear, semi-dark blue and has an extra sort of sheen of blue over that. When he is wet his hide seems especially bright and extra blue. Jerglith is a larger Blue at just under 29 meters in length.
Personality: Jerglith can sometimes be compared to a young runnerbeast: flighty and curious about everything. He likes to play and explore, but can be frightened by the oddest things from a fire-lizard squawking to a bee buzzing a bit too near him. Large dragons don’t intimidate him unless they try to, in Jerglith’s opinion a dragon is a dragon and there is no reason to be bothered by one bigger than him since many are. But it’s the very small things that can surprise him.
