Age: 9

Craft: N/A
Rank: N/A

Physical Description: Round cheeks, narrow blue eyes, long nose, black shoulder-length hair. Generally has a distinctive and attractive face. Body is lean and wiry, a little bit on the shorter side for his age.

Personality: Dolmin is conceited, vain, and spoiled. He has an endless need for validation, and is painfully careless of others' feelings. He's just growing to an age where he's finding he can't get away with as many things as he once did, and this is causing him to act out more and more. In short, Dolmin is a pain in the a**.

Very much a mother's boy, Dolmin dislikes sharing the attention of his only parental figure, even as he's growing to dislike having his mother's control hanging over him. He's grown to enjoy spending time with the kitchen girls - it's all the praise of hanging with his mother, and none of the authority! He listens to their gossip adoringly, forever trying to skimp out of work in order to sneak off to the kitchen and hear the latest tales. He is a huge fan of Nandeli and her circle, and is always eager to dig up news that he can share with them. Somewhat as a result of his exposure to these girls, however, Dolmin is highly judgmental. He pokes fun at others constantly about everything and anything he thinks he can make fun of them about - but, sadly, can't handle it when others tease him, and is prone to fits of anger if he's on the butt-end.

Dolmin has been known to sneak into places he shouldn't be, is bent on exploring every inch of the caves. He boasts that he knows more about the inside of the Weyr than anybody else!... just like the last intrepid explorer before him must have, and the one before that, and the one before that. Truthfully, he's never found anything in the Weyr that others hadn't already known about, but Dolmin is convinced that one of these days, he will!

History: Dolmin was born in Weyr, and since then, only set foot outside of it on rare enterprises or to visit Gathers. His mother, Olyen, is a Herdcrafter of considerable skill who works with the Weyr's herdbeasts. It's not sure when or how she came to meet Dolmin's father, and she has always been very tight-lipped about who the man she conceived the child with was. Some people say this is because she doesn't want to share her child's love, and this may be true. She is a particularly doting and devoted mother, who uses every resource at her disposal to care for her child.

When Dolmin was still very young, he was a delightful boy that brought smiles and joy to all around him. As he grew, however, he began to take his situation in the Weyr for granted. He grew self-centered and entitled; taking sweet breads without asking, breaking rules without remorse, hurting and angering others without apologizing. It never seemed to matter what he did, however, because his mother would always be right there to defend him from the consequences.

When he was five Turns, however, Dolmin's superiority complex was shaken. During a bath-time talk, his mother gently informed him that his father was not a dragonrider as he'd always assumed. Made instantly and wildly upset, he'd thrown a tantrum, screaming how much he hated his mother, and run away to the caves wearing little more than a towel, getting himself lost for more than a day before returning home, hungry and weepy.

Since that day, his mother has begun to see a need for discipline in her child's life, but has had difficulty in following through on the action. As a result, Dolmin has begun growing distant from his mother in recent days as he seeks to assert his independence - but even so, she seems to always show up right when he's getting himself into trouble, to save him from what he's wrought.
