Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Teliresa (goes by Resa)
Age: 26
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Weyr: Western Weyr
Rider Rank: goldrider
Previous Rank/Craft: Apprentice harper
Physical Description: Resa has midlength, wavy light brown hair and blue eyes. She has thin features and a slightly upturned nose. She's tall and slender, around 5'7. Her hair is often put up to keep out of her eyes. Resa tends to always be on the move, and her clothes, while they don't show too much wear (Lyraeth would never allow it), are a testament to this.

Personality: Resa has that sort of stubbornness that comes from having seven people in your family tell you what to do. She is the youngest of six sisters, and always planned on surpassing her sisters--somehow. She'd never been quite sure. This determination to do well still lives on. She wants to make the most out of her life, and the more she does, the more successful she is, the better things will be.

She believes she can help others reach their full potential. Some people just don't believe in themselves, and believing (regardless of what anyone says) really is half of it. She feels that if she encourages others to do well or try new things, that they will do well. Or at least, they'll have tried something new and boardened their horizons. She genuinely believes in the abilities of otherd. Sometimes people are simply in the wrong circumstances to see how brilliant they are.

Resa is always on the move. She loves to keep busy. She keeps busy working with drills, washing her dragon, following Z'haq-who-is-only-a-friend-don't-look-at-her-that-way around. She likes to finish tasks as soon as they're given. She is impatient with others when she feels they could do something better faster. Especially candidates. Candidates always seem to complain about tasks that aren't difficult, just time consuming. She knows the can do well, if they try.

Resa never got much attention as a youngster, so when given it, is easily charmed. If doted on, she will try to soak up that attention.

Positive Trait List Energetic, encouraging, believes in others
Negative Trait List Stubborn, impatient, arrogant
History: Born the sixth daughter of a minor holder, Resa knew from an early age that she would have to strive to succeed. Her oldest sister would learn the inner workings of the hold, while the younger four were sent to the harperhall once they were old enough. Being the youngest, she always felt like she would have to strive to match her older siblings' talent. Her older sisters were quite a bit older than her; there were six turns between she and the youngest of her older siblings.

She did well as an apprentice, but the turning point in her life was actually her sister's performance at Western Hold. She was fifteen turns old. Her family went, her second oldest sister was a journeyman and had been requested to sing at the gather. A dragonrider spoke with her, and he suggested she come to the Weyr. There would be a hatching soon, he promised. A gold was due to rise. Her parents' opinion on this was strong. Dragons were nothing, nowadays. Their tricks were for tourists, and they were used as flying runners. And besides, Resa had her apprenticeship to finish! Didn't she want to be on stage one day, like her sister?

She agreed to go to the Weyr. She loved music--but the chance to have a dragon! A dragon would set her apart from her sisters no matter what her parents said. There was a reason for all the songs about them. They'd saved Pern.

The dragonrider who'd searched her had been correct. A gold, Orcheth, did rise soon after her arrival. Teliresa loved everything about the Weyr. The dragons, the people, the chores--maybe not the chores. She loves being able to be so close to the dragons, and then the eggs.

The hatching happened, and she watched dragon after dragon pair up with their riders. The gold egg cracked and and next Resa knew, she had a dragonet tugging at her robe.

What are you wearing, Mine? You look ridiculous! I am Lyraeth, and we'll figure this out together.

They spent the next turn in lessons, and during free moments Lyraeth would take to selecting things for Resa to wear. The next seven turns went by without much incident. Flight, clutch, flying--and then Thread returned. Her former home was all but destroyed. Her family, thankfully, hadn't been there. They'd been at a ceremony as her youngest older sister walked the tables to become a journeyman. They wrote to her immediately after, asking whether she was safe. She'd never been so glad to hear from them.
Other: Anything else you want to add?

DRAGON
Name: Lyraeth
Age: ten turns (born 3563.12.18, to Orcheth x Xhenth)
Color: Gold
Size: 47'
Physical Description: On the larger side, Lyraeth is a beautiful gold with stripes.
Personality: Lyraeth is a friendly dragon by all accounts. She may even talk too much. She loves to be in the know. She loves speaking to her friends about the goings on in the Weyr.

She cares a lot about appearances, so she will attempt to decide which outfits Teliresa should wear which days. They must always appear worthy of their position. Is Teliresa really going to go out with her hair like that? Not on her watch!

She can be stubborn. Teliresa doesn't always cater to her dragon's whims, especially when it comes her own appearance. Lyraeth will insist upon it if refused and may well grumble about it throughout the day.

Lyraeth believes every dragon, human, and creature, can be beautiful. Sometimes they just need reminded. Or advised on how to appear the most beautiful. Starting with scented oils is good, they really do make all the difference. But accessorizing is important! Do your straps clash with your hide? This cannot happen! And of course, Teliresa cannot wear yellow because then they would match and that was so last season.

In addition to this, Lyraeth is also a very courteous dragon; and sometimes Teliresa needs reminding to be polite. Manners are extremely important! Around Lyraeth, everyone will be receiving compliments. Whether they look particularly clean today, flew well, or they simply look like they need reminded of how great their potential is, Lyraeth is on it with kind words. Unfortunately, these aren't always the truest of words. If someone needs a quick pick me up, Lyraeth will provide words of encouragement. "Oh, you'll do better next time! It's alright, everyone makes mistakes. Secretly, everyone knows you're the best here. Ask anyone!" She does try to be genuine, though. She just wants everyone to feel good about themselves.

Because of this Lyraeth could often be seen as flirting, while simply being polite--or is she actually interested? This is one thing the gold is keeping tight lipped about.

She has a strong friendship with a green (Craith) and during freee periods will often be found gossiping with her. Did Craith's rider start using scented oils? Lyraeth prefers the flowery scented ones. Craith should request those. They often talk concerning looks or impractical things, but the two dragons are as close as can be.

Dragon Art or Proof of Obtainment: Won in the paid raffle : )

Approved. However, please edit her to "born sixth daughter," as she is the youngest of six daughters, and it would make me happy. XD <3
