Character Name: Optheli( ‘Theli for short)
Age: 15
Sexual Orientation: Hints of Bi
Rank: Wingrider
History:
Her mother left when Optheli was barely two turns. Now the memory of her mother is a blank face with flowing hair. All she’s known growing up is the moving of the caravan, seeing new places, and her brother. No matter what, she thinks, he’s always been there for her and always will be. When it came her turn to choose her trading craft she went straight for spices. Let the other girls do needle work and stillroom herbs. While assigned to a different master than her bother she will often go to him with questions.
Just recently she’s started to notice boys in a new light and girls too. She hasn’t told her brother yet, simply waiting for the right time. Optheli has heard that sometimes they take off with young maidens for something evil. Privately she thinks that their just stories told around the campfire at night. Occasionally she’ll see dragons flying over or landing at the hold they’ve stopped at and pause to wonder if the stories are true. She only vagely recalls the last visit to Trine Weyr. They made it out again with all the caravan members, so the stories must be wrong.
Several times she has run into Salin who was looking for her brother. She thinks his hair designs are a bit extreme. The scarves are certainly not to her tastes either.
Description:
At 4’2”, Optheli despairs at ever being tall like her brother. To give herself a few more inches she wears home-made platform shoes. Almond-shaped eyes and a lighter olive skin tone than her brother betrays her family resemblance to him. Optheli likes to wear her hair extremely close cut to her skull, just long enough to barely frame her face. It is the same jet black as her brothers.
Light grey eyes of a thunderhead storm in spring peer out from under delicate eyebrows. Though it looks like a thunderstorm brewing it is actually far from the truth. When it comes to clothes, she prefers a flashy blouse and long skirt. Often in colors that will enhance her eyes.
Personality:
Nothing describes Optheli better than sunny cheerful. No matter how bad the weather or dire the circumstance, she always seems to be in a good mood. Some think its to hide how much pain she’s in cause her mother left when she was only two turns. That is certainly not the case with Optheli. She is happy be alive and it shows through in her attitude. “You can’t always be doom and gloom!” is her motto. The caravan cheerleader would be an excellent position for her.
Optheli is a true blue friend. When someone is having a bad day she’ll do all she can to cheer them up. Even if this means herself as the butt of the joke to get someone to laugh she’ll do it. She’ll do something sweet for a friend if they’re in a bad mood. A favorite treat or a handful of flowers; whatever will cheer their day. Don’t make the mistake of thinking she’s the class clown because she certainly isn’t that.
Her closest friend is quite easily, Silbakor. She feels he can do no wrong and adores him with all her heart. No not that way! That’s just gross. But really, when she has a problem its to Silbakor first, not her father, not the Caravan Master. Odd perhaps but she feels they just have that connection.
In a way she was born to be a trader. She loves to travel and meet new people. Her favorite part is making new friends. Even though there’s sorrow when leaving she has the joy of reunion when she returns and they meet again. Whenever she meets someone new Optheli will go out of her way to find something good about them. Even if she decides she doesn’t like them. Everyone has something good, right?
Even though she’s suppose to be a trader, her gut feeling is that she doesn’t have the knack for it. Privately she thinks she’ll never rise above apprentice. It never gets her down as some might think. Instead she finds other ways to help the caravan; even to the annoyance of her master. Optheli does her best to help out where she can. Cleaning wagons/dishes/laundry or watching the caravan’s children is just fine by her. Just let her change out of her good clothes first, K?

Welcome Green Dynith! "OptheliMine, please look at your Dynith! I am right over here!”
Name: Dynith
Color: Green
Stage: Adult
Cert: Adult
Rp Color: Dark Green
Animal: Lesser Green Broadbill
Personality: You might not believe that it is easy to ignore a dragon, but in a room full of dragons, Dynith is the wallflower. Quiet and not at all very confident about herself, this bright little green’s hide is about the only thing that draws attention to her. It’s not that she doesn’t want to speak up and be heard, she’s just sure that there’s not really anybody listening - anyone except Hers, of course. Hers always listens! However when she is finally heard, Dynith shines and is, in fact, a very sweet and friendly little green! What friends she does find the courage to make will always be treated well, and with a great deal of love - Dynith has a lot to give and does not keep much for herself.
Really, it’s hard to otherwise find a flaw in this green - she works as hard as she can in the hope that someone might notice her because of it, and hates making mistakes. After all, if that’s all that someone remembered about her, it would be terrible! They might never want to talk to her! Most comfortable around her other greens, blues are also easiest for Dynith to be herself around. But Faranth help her if a gold or bronze appear on the scene, or one of the lovely silvers! Dynith will clam up as hard as she can, all but swallowing her mental tongue and silently straining to be noticed.
When it comes time for flights, it will be a very trying time for the rider as this green is unsure that anyone might remember that she is there to chase her. Never mind that they all pay attention when a green rises - just like a gold! They always turn out to be good for her, and if it’s a successful flight she might actually come out of her shell (haha) for a few days! Eventually though, it always seems to dim and something sends Dynith back to her usual timidity.
The best fit for this green is probably someone with a bit of a stronger personality, someone who doesn’t mind having a fairly clingy dragon who just needs a bit of encouragement and positive reinforcement! She might have trouble with someone disinclined to work, and probably will not have too much influence over her rider. They will probably be a mild pair, quiet but capable.
Why Me?
Dynith needed someone who was both cheerful and still possessed of some self control. Optheli proved to be that person – she’s able to make friends, maintain a sunny disposition, and is almost selfless in her care of others. That last, in particular, resonated with Dynith and drew the green to the girl.
Really, with how selfless and timid Dynith can be, Optheli’s own desire to support and make people better can only help to make the pair stronger. Additionally, Optheli’s quiet uncertainty about her skills is also something the green recognizes and when she Impressed, it was almost as if she were saying they might not be very spectacular apart but together they had some potential!
All in all, quiet but capable sums this pair up quite nicely. Optheli’s enthusiasm will help to bring Dynith out of her shell while the green’s own mild personality will be a constant support for Hers to fall back on.
(Thanks so much Jet!)

Ismay  When Optheli has to leave, Ismay will stay with the nervous green. She is a kind and caring flit. Helping around the dragon is what this flit loves best. Often she can be found curled up on Dynith taking a nap. She absolutely loves attention from anyone.
Ismay has done her best to mimic the green dragon. She wants to help Hers too! Even though she's too small to carry a person, she's had Optheli construct a mini saddle for her. Messenger Flit at your service!
Ismay's Rps:
Training: Come, Stay, Watch
Breedings: (Remember she's at Trine Weyr/environs and unable to get anywhere else for a breeding. Unless the male can come to Trine it will have to be local flits only.)
None

Beta Clutch Hatching- Dragonflight Pern Grassy Plain Egg - The first thing you notice about this egg when you touch it is a sense of surprise. Not fear, but genuine surprise, as if the egg didn't expect you find it. There's a sense of transparency and selflessness in this one, and a quiet strength. A very intriguing little egg, its size indicates a blue or a green. Dragonflight Pern As the green appraised the boys, she felt one in particular and swung her gaze round, body following, as she searched for that echoed emotion. There... somewhere. There! Her gaze caught Kyros' and the coiled tension was released as she bounded across the Sands, tearing through Candidates foolish enough to get in her way, and reared up tall, forelimbs extended, wings spread wide. She'd found Hers!
Kyrosmine, Your Viridith is very hungry. Her introduction might have been short, but it was too the point and unhurried in its lilt.
Beyond her, the other green began to fuss as it wandered the divide between the male and female Candidates, crooning loudly. And as the lost green tried to sort itself out, another egg rolled and cracked and yet another green burst forth, this time from the Grassy Plain Egg. Dragonflight Pern When the green nearest the lines wouldn't stop fussing, Brakiath rumbled and crooned, trying to nudge her daughter into finding Hers. The gentle prod, however, didn't help things as the green spun around ran towards the gold and away from the Candidates. Its eyes were a whirling maelstorm of red and orange and grey. The grey, most of wall, was frightening as it drowned out all the other colours quickly enough. She bowled past her newly hatched sibling, jumped when Brakiath ordered her back to the Candidates, and made a beeline for the female candidates. Hers! Where was Hers! The green stopped dead in her tracks only a few feet before the first would-be victim of a mauling, so still and tense that those attending the Hatching seemed to hold their breath. A hatchling that panicked like that was not a good thing... Then she keened loudly and ducked her head with a terrified, lost wail and blinked Between, gone. Abigail sighed, shaking her head. The green was lost... a soul without a better half, and it made the Weyrwoman lean against her dragon. It was a gesture most who witnessed a lost dragon did without thinking... a life was lost and it was no one's fault. The other green had shrunk away from the pankicking green, certain that it wasn't the cause for concern, and slowly, surely she padded out of the goo towards the candidates. When the other disappeared, she keened a mourning farewell but was not distracted overlong. Her was here... she could feel it. Dragonflight Pern There was a time for mourning and certainly those on the sands were still engaged in such actions, all heads shaking from the passing of the small green.
It was only when a loud croon echoed from the remaining green that attention was pulled away from the sadness, as if the small dragonet wanted people to remember that she was indeed still around! It was sad yes, but she was still here and she was going to find Hers!
That being said she started to move once again amongst the girls before her, her snout actually reaching to touch a few who seemed to be mourning a bit too much for her little heart to take. She knew Hers must be amongst them, right? She could feel Hers so close.
Meanwhile as she moved about, almost as if on cue to help with the mood, the Loud Echo egg began to shake. Violently. Dragonflight Pern There, it happened! The rocking egg from before burst open as a dark foot shot out from the side, the toes wriggling a bit as they stretched against the egg goo that covered them. Another foot followed, then another, until the egg had completely shattered apart and a rather striking little brown graced the sands with his presence. He gave a joyous bugle as he shook the rest of the goo and shell from his torso, his eyes whirling a merry green-blue. This brown was certainly happy, he was finally out here! Everyone should be happy too, he's here to be with them!
Another bugle of delight escaped as he started trotting away from the remaining eggs and towards the candidates, his head held high as he appeared to be...bobbing it to some kind of cheerful tune!
One the other end of the sands, the small green had stopped moving the moment the shell broke, and for a second or two it looked as though she were...sighing with relief! Almost as if she were waiting for the egg to hatch and someone else come out and take the center stage, she finally took her head away from those she'd been near and started across the sands herself, stopping right before a pair of girls. Tilting her head slightly to the side she crooned softly, knowing good and well attention had been taken. That suited her just fine then, and she raised her gaze one last time before calling out to the smaller of the pair.
OptheliMine, please look at your Dynith! I am right over here! Where do I begin? I suppose at the top right? Silbakor found me just as the dragons started crooning and dragged me to the Stands. We found really good seats right up right. Well the first to hatch was a bronze. And what a lovely bronze he is! He certainly had a mind of his own and choose Silbakor! *Giggle* You should have seen his Face!! He was more stunned than I've ever seen him. Once he gathered his wits, he took the rather large, if you ask me, bronze down to feed him. Then! The new queen decided she wanted a girl from the Stands too! I don't think the Weyrwoman was too happy about that. Several more dragons hatched and Impressed. One little green went between unfortunately. Poor thing. Next thing I know.... there's a beautiful green just below me on the Sands and she's talking into my head! I love you Dynith! After that, couple of maulings, and the girl who I sat beside(After Silbakor Impressed and before I did) Also Impressed! She got a Crimson. I thought Stands Impressions were rare. *Another giggle* They didn't seem to be in this Hatching.

Dynith and I were taking a stroll around the Weyr before bed. Mostly to relax and have some time to ourselves. We were just about to go back when Dynith told me about a 'lizard clutch that was hatching. I managed to get there in time to Impress a little green. ^_^ She's so cute, and I've named her Ismay.
