Rank: Emerald Rider
Name: Lauri
Age: 27
Gender: Femme
Sexual Orientation: Homosexual, but Flight-flexible
Family:
[/li][li]Mother, Lylei, rider of Scarlet Arnreath
[/li][li] Father, Kunon, rider of Silver-Bronze Bryth
[/li][li] Brothers n/a
[/li][li] Sisters, Kyne, rider of Fire Faeth, Lil, rider of pink Deidreth, & Ylei, infant
Physical Appearance:
The first thing most people notice about Lauri is that she has light blue/violet eyes. The next thing might be her glossy brown hair that tumbles in somewhat- organized locks. It certainly wouldn’t be her height. Nope, not at all. A four foot three rider is absolutely normal.
Okay, yes, she’s short. She’s the shortest of her family, and she’ll thank you very much to NOT remember that!
Riding leathers? What on Earth are those? Lauri doesn’t wear them, hasn’t since Weyrling lessons. Instead, she wears fun clothes. However, having rather flamboyant tastes in clothing can be a pain, she discovers as she hauls dripping wet skirts over brightly colored leggings dyed in a Trader’s pattern. Her skirts are split and flounced, down the sides and part of the way up in the back, and her leggings show beneath the hem.
In contrast to this seeming modesty, Lauri wears frilled blouses that she ties up under her breasts, and wears a canvas jacket with leather patches over that. As far as shoes go, thin cloth slippers with leather soles suit her absolutely fine.
Jewelry, yeah, she wears jewelry. She DEFINITELY wears jewelry. If you were to pull aside the layers of froth and lace that cascade over her wrists, slender silver bangles would appear. She wears eight rings on seven fingers, and four necklaces. The longest necklace is often hidden in the frills of her top, as it ends between her breasts. It is a simple cord on which hangs about four keys of differing sizes. Two are the same length, their pendant resting on her collarbone- one is a gold chain with a flame pendant, the other silver with a decorative talon. Her fourth necklace is simply a wide green ribbon tied about her neck as her version of the rank cords she’s seen the Glory Island riders wearing.
Going back to her hair, Lauri often braids the front section of hair to frame her face, the braid beginning above her left eye, and hugging her hairline to finish up by her shoulder. Since Marketa is a tropical island weyr, many flowers grow close by. She sometimes picks a few, and arranges them in her hair.
Personality:
Lauri is a people person. She loves to talk, and if you don’t shut her up, she may just talk all day. Give her a topic, and she may run her mouth for hours. It’s been said that there isn’t anyone that Lauri doesn’t know, which is pretty much true. If she sees someone she doesn’t know, she’ll bustle over, introduce herself, and strike up a conversation.
She doesn’t precisely agree with the pink riders being made drudges, but she also doesn’t see anything wrong with it. Pretty much, she was born into the system, and it’s not broke, so why fix it? She may strike up a conversation with the rider that cleans her weyr, or she could ignore him. It depends on whether or not she’s busy with something else. The only pink rider she really consorts with is her little sister, Lil, and that’s a relationship kept at arm’s length.
Color Code: 007999
Pets:
Name: Genevieve
Species: Golden Gold
Appearance: Genevieve is on the smaller side of the gold spectrum, and brighter than many. Her hide always seems to be brightly burnished, and the coquettish way she curves her neck to allure males may be reminiscent of a popular girl trying to convince a hot guy to come hither.
Personality: Yep, Genevieve is a ‘come hither’ type of gold. She lies draped on Lauri’s shoulders, letting others admire her as they should. She only Flies maybe once every two or three Turns because she can’t be bothered to stir enough to lead the bronzes on a merry chase. When she does Fly, too, the clutches are small, and she usually clutches on the Hatching Sands so that Lauri will look after them so she doesn’t have to.
Color Code: FFCB2F
History:
Born to a Scarlet/Silver-bronze pair as the oldest child, Lauri was groomed from an early age to Impress well. Lylei was Weyrwoman at the time she conceived Lauri, but she relinquished it to give birth to her child.
Lauri was raised in the crèche, as were all the children on the island, but she was an inquisitive child from her young years. She surrounded herself with friends, which were easy to find. Few children didn’t want a friend, and they seemed to flock to Lauri. She took pride in being the daughter of the Weyrwoman, and drove her caretakers crazy.
Korvene of pink Itrith and D’ren of pink Karth had specific charge of the Weyrwoman’s daughter, and they followed her everywhere. When she wanted to go to the beach, by golly, she would go! And if she wanted fifteen or twenty friends to go with her, she could have that too.
She would often go lizard hunting, where she would search out clutches along the beaches. She found several clutches, but only attached one of the hatchlings. Usually, the pink riders would whisk the eggs away to the proper authorities, seemingly deaf to the screams and tears of little Lauri.
She never did get a hold of a wild egg, but at the age of thirteen, she managed to win a tame egg from its owner in a well-played game of dragon poker.
At fifteen, she Impressed emerald Hyllth, and found herself thrust into the world of authority. During Weyrling lessons, she developed her own style of clothing, working with a tailor/scarlet rider to create the lacy and frilled blouses she wears, and the feminine-esque skirts that fit over Hyllth’s neck, and feel delightful.
If Dragon Rider
Name: Hyllth
Color: Emerald
Age: 12
Appearance:
Hyllth is on the smaller end of the spectrum, and a vibrant shade not often seen among dragon hides. She shades lighters along her extremities and wingbones, and slightly darker along the edges of her wings. This gives her the illusion of being in constant shadow, or that perhaps she doesn’t truly belong where she is.
Personality:
Hyllth is not your typical Emerald- wait, that’s a lie. She enjoys her Flights, enjoys the freedom of choosing different mates. Her current ‘favorite’ is Copper Riath, as she finds his contemplative manner and mysterious demeanor fascinating. By the next time she Flies, however, she will most likely have yet another favorite. She takes little notice of the drudges, not treating them badly, but just not noticing them.
