...// Personality
Stead-fast and loyal but with a very playful, prankish streak that he has not (and likely will never) grow out of. Therion has spent much of his life running around the Weyr doing this, than and the other and generally learning whatever he could, when he could. When he was very young he saw some beautiful blown-glass items from the Ista Hold being coo'd and slavered over by a group of women and decided that he wanted to learn how to make those things so that he would be at the center of all that female attention.
Therion is not a shy person by any means but he can be somewhat quiet at times because he's a responsible person and likes to think things through. He is very proud of his skills and not afraid to show off some - he has trouble being humble and will likely require someone to smack him around to keep his peacock-attitude in check.
...// History
Being a child born in the Weyr, Therion has no clue who his parents are - nor does he really care. From the very start, he was taken care of as are all Weyrbrats: by the collective Weyr. Naturally, some of the members of the Weyr spent more time and energy on him than others, but for the most part he was pretty evenly 'raised'. As a young child, he charmed and tortured the ladies in the kitchen with his constant wont for their attention; everyone involved was exceptionally happy when he met the boy that was was to become his life-long friend (and partner in crime), Lothan. Once Lothan came into the scene, Therion found himself getting into more and more trouble -- but having a hell of a good time doing it!
Both boys decided at a young age that they would be friends forever; each giving the other a sense of 'family' that they otherwise wouldn't have had growing up in the Weyr. Not to say that Therion ever felt he didn't belong at the Weyr, but not knowing his parents did leave something to be desired (most of the time it didn't bother Ther, but whenever a new group of Searched candidates came in with their tales of a small family unit...well, it did make him a little jealous). Being with Lothan gave him a closeness that he would not have otherwise had with anyone and it also gave him someone to wrestle with, to flirt with girls with and also someone to share the blame when their misdeeds were discovered. When he was 7 years old, Therion snuck a knife from the kitchens and pulled Lothan aside so that they could become "blood brothers" (something he'd watched some older boys doing earlier that same day).
A few turns later, when Therion was preparing to leave for his apprentiship, the two youths renewed their blood-vows and promised to write, even if all they sent were very short missives (guys being notoriously horrible about letter-writing). Both wrote back and forth, but they didn't always need to - the blood-bond between the two was very strong and either could be counted on to send a letter or appear (a dangerous-but-exciting undertaking for a youth that didn't want his hide skinned by his Master) just when the other needed it most.
Now, at 18, the two young men have managed to survive their apprenticeship and puberty (with all the raging, crazy-arsed hormons that come with it) without losing their strong, brotherly bond and hope to be reunited as Dragonrider candidates for Malvren Weyr.
