Character Name: Ceirrys

Character Gender: Male

Character Age: 16 turns

Character Voice: #342F6A

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Rank: Weyrling/Wherholder

Loyalty Rating: Level 1

Appearance:

Ceirrys takes after his father in having a mop of waivy blond hair and a distinctly square jaw. He is anxious to have his father’s build too, having recently gone through a growth spurt and standing at 5’9”, but having the physique of a beanpole. In the next few turns he’s sure to fill out this newfound height, but at present he is merely a lanky teen. He has his mother’s deep blue eyes-often twinkling with mirth at the trouble he’s gotten away with- and dimples, which gives his impish smile an endearing quality that can sometimes charm him out of trouble. (Meh, okay visual here.)

Personality:

Ceirrys takes after his father in more than appearance, having his same easy-going personality, and while also having grown up in a close supportive family surrounded by jibes and snide comments, he often takes mean-spirited words with a grain of salt. Family- which now includes Leszyth- means everything to Ceirrys, and he will do everything within his power to defend them. While the actions and words of others seem to roll of his back, if anyone means harm to those he loves, physically or emotionally, he will retaliate with a vengeance. He will wait and scheme for the perfect opportunity to pull of the just-right revenge, whether that be embarrassing someone obsessed with their self image or luring someone into a situation in which they are vastly outnumbered. In this way he is incredibly stubborn, holding on to grudges and slights against those he cares for. This same stubborn attitude bleeds forth when he’s in an argument or is being challenged, it will take a very calm and persuasive person to move Ceirrys from the stance he has taken on a subject. He can be incredibly self-assured beyond this stubbornness in confrontations, in general he is very confident and was somewhat indulged as a youngest son, as such he often takes brazen actions and will not realize the full ramifications of his own words and actions on those around him, being more innocently self-centered than anything malign. The darker side to his mischievous personality is seen in the schemes he plans for revenge against those who have wronged his loved ones, the more innocent side comes in the form of simple pranks and plans to surprise those he sees as friends and loved ones, he will tease and play tricks on those he cares for- all in good-fun of course. Ceirrys loves the gratification of a successfully executed plan, and there is little else he loves more in this world than being able to witness the expressions on those persons’ affected faces. He is the typical bratty younger brother, and is used to a family full of noise, when confronted with a silent room he will often make chit-chat to fill the void and often feels the need to make light-hearted jokes if the mood is too somber.

History:

Ceirrys came from a minor hold tithing to Bitra Hold. His father, Aneirin, was a second cousin of the Holder, putting him in the tumultuous position of representing a family name while having no hopes for achieving a position of prominence within the hold. He developed a “devil-may-care” attitude as he grew older, such that when he became enamored with Carrys, the young journeywoman harper brought to the hold to instruct the Holder’s grandchildren, he married her without the consent of his family. The whole ordeal became quite a scandal for the small hold, and by the time Ceirry’s eldest sister was born, his parents were treated very much like a stain on a much-prided tapestry, to be covered up and frowned upon. His immediate family stuck close to one another and formed a tightly knit group of seven; he grew up as the youngest son among four siblings: Carwyn, six turns older than himself, Caerin his sister three turns older than himself, Aneirrys-his older brother by two turns, and his younger sister by four turns, Anwyn.

As he aged, Ceirrys and his siblings were met with reproachful gazes and snide comments from their extended family. He watched as his eldest sister, Carwyn, was filled with disdain for the entitled attitudes and pompous presumptions of their relatives. She remained strong in the face of this treatment- growing ever resilient and confrontational, all the while setting an example for her younger siblings, “you do not have to accept their judgement of your worth, who are they to pass such judgement?”. Ceirrys took this lesson to heart and dealt with his extended family flippantly; he cared not for their opinions and felt fulfilled enough as the doted upon “baby brother”. This particular position came with laxer expectations and less direct supervision, he often found himself gleefully playing tricks on those age-mates that continuously picked on himself or his siblings after Carwyn left to pursue harpercraft (to get in direct, physical confrontations would simply be unacceptable by his mother’s standards). Ceirrys was always careful at hiding his gloating smile in the wake of fuming relatives, careful to make mischief that could in no way be directly traced back to him. He became increasingly referred to as an “impudent child” and was happy to be searched at the age of twelve turns when Carwyn impressed Alaiath at Benden.

Ceirrys was glad to have Carwyn with him at Benden, while enjoying the mantle of a candidate, he was still used to being the kid-brother and relieved to once again have his eldest sister nearby. Candidacy has done little to temper his mischief-making, although now his pranks have become more light-hearted and done for the joy of executing a plan without getting caught rather than as a retort to mockery and snide comments. The last turn has proven to be a tumultuous chapter in his time as a candidate at Benden- staying when the revolution swept through its halls, disappointed by Carwyn’s decision to leave Benden, angered by the destruction of the wher clutch by dragonrider loyalists, and distressed by the poisoning of Malvern’s food supply-knowing that his sister had been affected and distraught by the physical distance between them.

Name: Pilfer

Lineage: Gold Harbinger x Brown Cat

Origin: A gift to Ceirrys from his family at the Hatching Feast.

Personality & Training: Pilfer takes after his brown father, dangerously interested in the possessions of others. He will happily rummage through others' personal belongings and will often snatch small trinkets that interest him, bringing them back to Ceirrys' room in the weyrling barracks and either presenting them as a gift to His or stashing them in various places around the room. When Ceirrys comes across these stashes he anxiously tries to get Pilfer to show him images of the places he's been to try and sort through what belongs to who. This rather difficult obsession with finding interesting things will actually make him surprisingly easy to train when it comes to the "fetch" command, especially if the item to be found is particularly tricky to find. Otherwise, this flit is difficult to train, but with his boundless energy and curiosity, if Ceirrys can manage to make training a game, he should go along with it well enough.

This blue sits at the smaller side of the blue spectrum, all the better for getting into small spaces!
