Name Hirion
Pronunciation HEAR-ee-on
Age 19 turns
Season Born in Summer, 180th turn of Interval
Gender Female
Sexuality Heterosexual (Arguably Bisexual with male preference)
Appearance A bit tall for a woman, Hirion has a naturally skinny build but turns of living in a weyr as an active child has given her a good deal of muscle tone as well. She has very straight, very long black hair, though it's usually braided or put into a bun. Her eyes are narrow and dark brown in color. She has very pale skin that tends to burn easily.
She doesn't care overmuch about how she looks and dresses in old, well-worn clothes most of the time, though she's quite pretty when she takes the time to dress up.
Personality Outgoing and extrovertive, Hirion likes talking to and meeting new people. She is quite friendly and usually willing to help others. She is quite curious and sometimes even a bit nosy, though she means well. She has always been a bit of a tomboy and was a very rough-and-tumble child. She is a bit more willing to stop and think before she leaps into action now, but she is still active and energetic.
She is quite flirtatious and tends to sleep around, rarely having a weyrmate for any length of time, though she is monogamous when she does have one. Despite rumors and some experimentation in her younger days, she considers herself heterosexual, though she's not averse to the idea of sleeping with riders of either gender when it comes to flights; she just prefers men to women.
She can be very assertive, even aggressive when it comes to getting what she wants. Though usually patient and calm when the situation calls for it, she can be reckless in her determination to prove herself. She tries to be respectful at least to her superiors, though she has trouble keeping her tongue in check when she has an opinion about something and tends to come off as rude. She is a hard worker though and tries to do her job to the best of her ability.
Well aware of how demanding a job dragonriding can be, Hirion has reconciled herself to the fact that she'll likely never have children, or have to foster them out if she does Impress. She is fond of saying that she doesn't want to have kids, they're more trouble than they're worth, etc. Still, she does enjoy spending time occasionally with the Weyr's younger children, and some may think she protests too much.
Family (if any) H'lir-Bluerider (deceased)
Zalion-Greenrider (deceased)
No full-blooded siblings; several half-siblings on both parents' sides, as well as foster siblings, but none of note
Location Trelis Weyr
Rank Weyrling
Wing/Pack Lightning Strike (Weyrlings)
History Born and bred in the Weyr, Hirion was conceived in the aftermath of a flight and born to a pair of riders. Her parents didn't really get along too well and her mother had no interest in raising her, or the other children she had over the years. As soon as she was able, her greenrider mother gave her daughter to one of the foster mothers in the lower caverns. Her father visited her occasionally, but she never really knew either of them very well.
It was for the best, probably, as both of them died when Hirion was young; her father died in a training accident that burned his dragon and scared the two of them between for good, and her mother in childbirth, the baby boy stillborn. Though she didn't have any full-blooded siblings, she grew up with plenty of foster-siblings as well as a couple half-siblings from her mother and never wanted for company in the Weyr.
She was always a little obsessed with riding a dragon, not unnaturally considering her upbringing, and as soon as she was old enough, she became a candidate. And was left standing, several times. It was during this time that she managed to track down a wild fire lizard's clutch was allowed to keep one of the smaller eggs as a reward. It hatched into a green fire lizard shortly after Hirion turned fourteen; the normally docile flitter earned the name Banshee from an ancient story Hirion had heard as a child when she started screaming because Hirion wasn't feeding her fast enough.
That was three turns ago now; once Banshee was fully grown and started rising, Hirion began to show an interest in some of the other candidates. Being raised in a Weyr had its advantages in this area; she knew full well that dragonlust was much more potent than what she experienced with Banshee, and she had short-lived relationships with boys and girls both, though she eventually decided that she finds men more attractive and considers herself heterosexual.
The most recent clutch she stood for was Loraketh's first, and with the hatching nearly over, Hirion was seriously afraid she was going to be left standing once again. She'd seen the new colors hatch, and after the way the Garnet attacked his own rider, she was hesitant to draw attention to herself when the two sub-queens hatched--not that she would have wanted a clutching dragon, anyway. She'd always figured she would Impress a fighting dragon, and when the steel-blue Ferrth hatched from his egg, she was proven right. The blue bounced right up to her and made it clear he had chosen her as her rider. Hirion couldn't have been more thrilled.

Dragon
Name Ferrth
Name Meaning Fer=Iron Origin: Latin
Age 1 turn
Type Dragon
Rank Blue
Size 30 feet long at full growth
Color CodesBody A2B5CD
Underside E6E8FA
Markings1 2F4F4F
Markings2 668B8B
Appearance Ferrth is on the large end of the scale for his color, but he is by no means bulky and muscular. He is actually quite slender and long-limbed, with long, narrow wings that allow him to do do all kinds of tricks in the air.
Personality Much like Hirion, Ferrth is very friendly and outgoing, with an enthusiastic nature. He likes people, human and dragon both, and he has a very charismatic personality. He is strongly opinionated and quite stubborn; once he gets an idea in his head, it's difficult to get him to change his mind, and he is never afraid to say what he's thinking, whether it's a good idea or not.
He is very adventurous and bold, with a go-get-'em attitude. He takes as many risks as Hirion, and it'll usually be Hirion holding him back rather than the other way around, but the pair of them are sure to end up in their fair share of trouble from rashness. He is eager to prove himself, but is a hard worker who--usually-follows orders.
Mind-voice
Come on Mine! We're gonna get 'em all! You better believe it....YOU HEAR ME?!? BELIEVE IT!!!!!!
Smooth, soft, and dripping with charisma and charm, Ferrth's voice tends to have a soothing effect on others, though it can be surprisingly sharp when he's upset.
Pets:
Name Banshee
Pronunciation BAN-shee
Age 5 turns
Type Fire Lizard
Rank Green
Size 16 inches
Color Codes 2C800B
Personality/Appearance Banshee's body is small, even for a green flit, the second-smallest of the colors; however, her neck and tail are long and slender, putting her on the higher end of the green scale length-wise. Any markings on her hide are very subtle; she is generally a uniform middling green shade, though her muzzle and tail both fade to a lighter green.
Normally so silent and unobtrusive you're likely to completely overlook her, Banshee is friendly enough around people but not the sort to beg for attention. She is a very calm and well-mannered flitter, provided she hasn't been upset. Once she's angry, though, all bets are off. It takes a lot to get her mad, but she's a ball of raging, screaming hate once her temper is set off.
Name Barus
Pronunciation BAH-russ
Age 1 turn
Type Fire Lizard
Rank Brown
Size 27 inches
Color Codes 6D381D
Personality/AppearanceBarus will grow up to be a medium-sized flitter overall, but it's plain even since his hatching that he is a strong, burly brown with a muscular build. His limbs are somewhat short, but stout, as are his wings, and he'll likely always be a somewhat awkward flier.
Barus has a very short temper and it doesn't take much to make him upset. When he is upset, he tends to hiss and snap his jaws at people a lot, though he rarely attempts to actually bite someone. He is friendly enough when in a good mood, however, and he craves being the center of attention. He dislikes it when too much attention is spent on other fire lizards and he does not like being neglected. He is kind of frightened of Banshee, however, and the green can always be trusted to keep him in line, no matter how much larger Barus grows than her.
Name Siren
Pronunciation SIGH-rehn
Age 1 turn
Type Fire Lizard
Rank Lazuli
Size 10 inches
Color Codes 365DAA
Personality/Appearance It's difficult to pick just one color to describe Siren as. Like most lazulis, she is a dark, metallic-looking blue with a soft, green-gold hue most noticeable on her wings and underside. She is a bit small for a lazuli at ten inches, but not unusually so.
Siren is an extremely friendly and affectionate flitter; she rarely leaves Hirion's side, but when she does, she often finds some other human or friendly dragon to keep her company. She is particularly friendly with Banshee, and even Barus has learned to just put up with her rather than make a fuss. She is rarely silent; she often chirps, creels, and makes other vocal sounds, and her frequent humming is pleasant and almost musical to listen to.
