○•○That One Girl_______________________________________ Character Name: Dezima
Age: 17 19
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Craft/Rank: N/A (Weyrbrat/Candidate)
Description: Fairly lean with some muscle to her small frame. Petite is probably a better description of this gal. She comes in at about a solid 5'4" with light to medium skin tone. Sharp blue eyes gaze out of a gently angled face, usually in an expression of mild amusement. Her straight light brown hair is typically worn in a twisted bun of sorts to keep it out of her face. Attire consists of something similar to riding gear. Just makes it easier to maneuver around in a good pair of pants and boots. If you do happen to get a good closer inspection, you may notice small thin scars scattering her hands and arms. Signs that this girl is not afraid to do a little work. (Note: Image ref didn't really have a 'light brown', and that is the closest I could get OTL)
Personality: It is probably not unusual and most likely expected in the young weyrbrats to be curious little wherries. And Dezima fits that perfectly. If she's not doing chores or other candidate duties, she loves to explore around the weyr with the other younglings like herself. Her curiosity is endless but not stupidity. She knows when she's sticking her nose into something it doesn't belong. Once or twice she's found herself in trouble for trying to check out some new portion of the Weyr she's just discovered (but most of the adult crowd already knew about). Her curiosity also extends into her willingness to learn new things. Not being able to read or write quite as well as others, she usually has to seek out someone who can and then hope they are willing to read it to her. Dezima is working to learn how to improve her reading, though. She does pretty well and has found she doesn't have to ask for help very often. She also finds her curiosity drawing her to harpers that will tell of old ballads or sing of songs that speak of Pern's history and old traditions.
Curiosity and willingness to learn aside, Dezima is very spunky as well. She is always ready and willing to jump in and do a task while making a small sidetrack to check out some rumor or interesting thing. Dezima is also a kind hearted soul (most of the time < <;; ) and will make a great friend or ally. She is willing to give anyone a chance to prove they are trustworthy or have what it takes to be a good friend. Just don't rub her the wrong way. She can have quite the little attitude. Call her a name jokingly, and she'll joke right back with a smart arse remark. Growl or call her something obscene? She'll sock you in the face. It's best to try and stay on her good side. Should you happen to fall on her bad side, be warned. She will be a little spitfire to watch out for. But if you are one of her friends or loved ones, then you have yourself one very loyal and protective gal to lean on.
Dezima is also very gullible when it comes to being told things, especially when it's in regards to history. She'll be a pretty firm believer if you make your argument convincing enough. This has lead to her being laughed at on more than one occasion for thinking what she knew was correct because someone had told her it was. She is trying to be less of a gullible t**t, but so far she is failing miserably. It's just difficult to tell if someone is pulling your leg or not! She does learn not to believe the same persons word so easily a second time, though she might still have a lingering desire to think what they say is truth. Three times in a row by the same person though, and Dezima will not believe a word out of that persons mouth again, even if it really is truth.

○•○That Green Dragon_______________________________________ Right. Dezimamine, join your Microth in exploring! There is much to see!
Colour: Green
Age: 2
Inspired by: Microcline
Text Color: #009955
Personality: Microth is an explorer at heart, not just of new places but also of new ideas: she will make it something of a life's ambition to see as many places as she can, and to learn as many things as she can. She doesn't expect to necessarily like all the places she goes or the things she learns about, but she will like that fact that she has been and does know. She won't remember it all of course, but that's part of what her rider is for: remembering their adventures and learning, and reminding her of it when she forgets.
She's not the sort to charge off over the horizon the moment she spots an interesting glimmer nor the kind to abruptly state an opinion on a controversial topic she's just heard about though, Microth is actually a steady sort: she likes to plan out adventures carefully before setting off, and to turn ideas over carefully in her head before speaking. Her hesitance to immediately react could be dangerous in some situations however, and so she will need a rider confident and driven enough to push her forward when they really need to move right now. On the other hand - while she can also seem non-committal for not immediately replying when given new information - her thoughtful and diligent nature means that she's difficult to take in: she'll cross examine the heck out of anything that seems out of place to her.
Her tendency to think hard before acting or speaking also means that Microth won't get into silly arguments or fights. It isn't that she never gets angry or insulted and so on, rather she has the control to sit back and consider whether or not it's really important before retorting. This is often enough to diffuse a silly disagreement, and when a disagreement is serious it means that she will have thought hard about her response and won't say or do anything she doesn't truly mean. Of course it also means she won't be winning any battles of wits despite being a bright dragon but one can't have everything in life, and on balance Microth would much rather stay as she is.
Why me?
There's a whole big world out there to explore and learn about, and these two will do it together! Fortunately, however, neither of them is the sort to investigate a fire by sticking their nose into it or to rush off without a bit of thought at least. This good sense manifests in Microth as steadiness and hesitation to act and speak, which will help to stop Dezima from getting fooled too often, and also keep her from getting too spunky with people when lashing out is a bad idea. Equally however where the green's hesitance could put them in danger Dezima's inner fire will be enough to drive her on and see them both safe so that they can head on to the next new thing with their hides intact!
Size: Average
Build: Above Average ~ This dragon is a bit more muscular than average for its colour but not starkly so.
Inspiration
Microcline (KAlSi3O cool is an important igneous rock-forming tectosilicate mineral. It is a potassium-rich alkali feldspar. Microcline typically contains minor amounts of sodium. It is common in granite and pegmatites. Microcline forms during slow cooling of orthoclase; it is more stable at lower temperatures than orthoclase. Sanidine is a polymorph of alkali feldspar stable at yet higher temperature. Microcline may be clear, white, pale-yellow, brick-red, or green; it is generally characterized by cross-hatch twinning that forms as a result of the transformation of monoclinic orthoclase into triclinic microcline.
Microcline may be chemically the same as monoclinic orthoclase, but because it belongs to the triclinic crystal system, the prism angle is slightly less than right angles; hence the name "microcline" from the Greek "small slope." It is a fully ordered triclinic modification of potassium feldspar and is dimorphous with orthoclase. Microcline is identical to orthoclase in many physical properties; it can be distinguished by x-ray or optical examination; viewed under a polarizing microscope, microcline exhibits a minute multiple twinning which forms a grating-like structure that is unmistakable.
Perthite is either microcline or orthoclase with thin lamellae of exsolved albite.
Amazon stone, or amazonite, is a beautiful green variety of microcline. It is not found anywhere in the Amazon basin, however. Spanish explorers who named it apparently confused it with another green mineral from that region.
The largest documented single crystals of microcline were found in Devils Hole Beryl Mine, Colorado, US and measured ~50x36x14 m. This could be one of the largest crystals of any material found so far.

○•○The Impression_______________________________________Dragonflight Pern Indeed, the green was plodding, looking, listening, exploring and churring away. She called, and jumped and prowled and generally looked as if she belonged in an adventure book rather than on the Sands. Her prowling about, nose to the ground, wings held up, brought her to the feet of a girl and she moved to brush past only to freeze in midstep. Right. Hers. She looked up and smiled a draconic smile, full of teeth and gums with eyes whirling happily with excitement, Right. Dezimamine, join your Microth in exploring! There is much to see! And again, she put her head down, as if this was the way of things and the Impression was just another step in the road, and toddled away. Kyrieko Her lips curled into a smile as the first of the twins found hers. Some part of the weyrbrat was glad to see the Gold Impress. It would have been beyond terrible if one didn't Impress while the other did. Still, the other Gold hadn't seemed to find Hers yet. Patience. She scolded herself. And, after cheering to her sister in congratulations, the second Gold found Hers as well. Dezima gave a small - and silent - whoop that the two Queens had found Theirs. Twin Golds! This one would probably go down in the history ballads that Harpers would sing of for turns to come!
Twins now Impressed, Dezima let her gaze drift back to the two greens that were the last ones of the clutch left. One was moving among the ranks of boys while the other maneuvered through the girls. It was rather amusing to watch, she had to admit. Where the green on the boys' side seemed to calmly find Hers, the green on their side was...searching. Or exploring. One of the two. Dezima wasn't quite sure which. But the green was just having a grand time, that was for sure!
And before she realized it, there was a dragonet stopped at her feet. Dezima went to move to step out of the way, but the green looked up at her and...smiled! A lovely thing that the weyrbrat would melt for. And those whirling, excited eyes were so gorgeous!
Right. Dezimamine, join your Microth in exploring! There is much to see!
Dezima laughed. There was no better reaction but to laugh as the green - Microth, lowered her head back to the sands like a canine on to something exciting. Ohshards! Had...she...Of course! I am your Microth. You are my Dezima. A draconic sound that could be nothing other than a giggle escaped the green, tail swishing as she glanced around a paw at Hers. Laughing again, Dezima didn't hesitate in following her new bondmate. Friend. Hers. Her dragon! She felt giddy, something that was almost mirrored by the cheerful green beside her. "Yes. I am yours. And you are mine. We will be an awesome pair!"
Let's follow this trail towards the food! I am hungry, but this is so much fun! Said 'trail' was footprints from one of her siblings. Dezima giggled and happily followed along towards the table with pieces of meat. Microth had chosen her! And they were totally going to have many fun adventures together, Dezima just knew it!
As they reached the food tables, a new sound drew both green dragon and weyrbrat's attention. Something within Dezima squeezed hearing that sound. With the last of the hatchlings Impressed, Yirath could finally ease her suffering. Her hand fell to the green head that nuzzled against her side, liquid threatening to fall down her cheeks. Do not be sad, Dezimamine! Mother made sure we all found Ours so she could leave with pride. Microth continued to nuzzle Hers, nudging her towards the food. Come! Let us honor Mother by becoming an awesome pair for her to feel proud of!
Grinning and feeling a little better, but still holding the grief that would haunt the Weyr for a while, Dezima nodded. "You are right. Come! We should feed that tummy of yours up." Together, the newly bonded pair joined the other pairs of bonded riders and dragons.

○•○Some boring History_______________________________________Not a very exciting childhood, as it was much the same as others like herself. Weyrbrats. She was one of those babe's born to a coupling from a Flight. Dezima doesn't even know who her parents are. Which is fine by her. It's not something that is exceptionally important for her to know anyways. All she cares about is that both her parents were indeed dragonriders and she hopes to follow in their footsteps and become one herself. She doesn't really have a 'family' like one would think in terms of a mother and father either. Her family is the Weyr itself. She was given to the lower portion of the Weyr to be raised with other weyrbrats. And just like their infamous name, she was a brat all the way. Some may argue she still is a brat, but she would like to think she's grown out of that. A little.
Once old enough to walk, she began being taught the ways of weyrlife from the bottom up. Cleaning pots, peeling tubers, learning to mend clothes (not very well), how to polish riding saddles. Always busy it seemed. But the good thing that came out of this, much to her curious deviant sides content, Dezima learned the Weyr like the back of her hand. Or most of it. There were still areas she hadn't seen or been to before that she would find every now and then.
On top of her other chores and studies, she worked a little harder when it came to reading and writing. But mostly the reading. The old written words fascinated her and she loved hearing of anything that fell into the category of 'Pern History'. She especially loved hearing of the newest bit of history, with these Aytipcal dragons. The mere idea of such a thing confused her and more than slightly appalled her. What was wrong with the traditional dragons? Why had people dabbled in their experiments and discovered these new dragons? She preferred tradition over new age. Traditional colors to new colors. However, she couldn't lie in the fact there was a sort of horrified fascination in this new chapter of Pern history. Dezima just wanted nothing to do with it personally. Learning about it was alright in her book though.

○•○The Pests_______________________________________ Mal Color: Green Age: Adult Size: Average Personality: A good match for her human. Mal is just as curious and eager to go exploring. She loves discovering new things with Her-Dezi. Though dark places tend to make her clingy and she'll hide in Her-Dezi's shirt. So do storms (not that she's really seen them). When they aren't out exploring, Mal can be found watching the people around her, learning new things. Like how they opened that cupboard! And where they always seem to get the treats from. She's also very playful and seems to have her own sense of humor. Many mornings Her-Dezi finds hair ties or clothing hidden under the bed or shoved into things. Always in her room as Mal hasn't actually realized she can hide stuff elsewhere. Kaylee Color: Crimson Age: Adult Size: Small Personality: This little crimson is super sweet and kind. She very much loves her person as well as Mal and Microth. Kaylee is not one to seek out attention though, being a little shy at times. She is also a fairly quiet flitter and when you do get chirps and peeps out of her, they tend to be sweetly soft and musical sounds. Typically, Kaylee can be found cuddling with Dezima or Microth and occasionally Mal (when she's not in hyper mode). She also loves treats. Very much. It is a sure fire way to get her to warm up to you if you provide a treat.
