Akira
Name:
Akira
Character Number:
1
Age:
25 Turns
Gender:
Female
Sexuality:
Heterosexual
Appearance:
Akira has short, dark brown hair that she usually keeps held back with berets. She is 5'7" and has light tan skin. She might not look it, but Akira has muscles, and can hold her own. She has a tattoo of a flower with a dragon twined around it on her right shoulder. The flower is a tulip, the dragon has it's mouth open, as if it's breathing fire. She got the tattoo in memory of her mother and father. Akira has strong, long legs that can propel her pretty far, pretty fast if she ever tried. She has light brown eyes that almost always have a far off look to them. Yet, even when she has that far off look in her eyes, they seem to have a twinkle to them. Like they're trying to open up, and show what she's really like inside. She is usually found wearing a black, long sleeve shirt, but she will occasionally wear a black sleeveless shirt. No matter what the occasion, she always wears riding pants. To most they wouldn't be the most comfortable to wear all the time, but Akira likes them. From what she can remember, she has never, and will never, wear a dress for any reason unless she is forced. Akira has a diagonal scar over her right eye that looks pretty nasty, but in all actually it is just superficial.
Personality:
Akira is really persistent, and has a hard time not fighting for what she believes. She can be affectionate, but tries not to show it publicly. She tries not to take too many risks, but if she believes they are necessary ones, she will do whatever it is she can. She is a very stubborn person, and doesn't like other's trying to change who she is. She is intelligent, but doesn't like to brag about what she knows. She's always been that way, at least, for as long as she can remember. Akira is a very loyal friend, and would never leave her friends behind. She's a great listener, and is actually really patient. Akira is really a sweet, and loving individual. She is a natural born leader, and is really calm and level-headed no matter what the situation she's put in.
History:
Akira's parents were harpers, and they lived in a hold close to Kahool Weyr. So she grew up close to the dragons and riders. She remembered that her parents would often leave to entertain the riders at the Weyr. Yet, even way back then, she hated social events, which meant she stayed home most of the time, but the times she did go, she went to see the dragons. She had often dreamed of impressing a hatchling dragon. She remembered hearing hear parents talk about the stories they know. She loved the ones they would tell her about the dragon riders of turns past. She remembered lying in bed, dreaming about being a dragon rider, and fighting thread whenever it fell.
As Akira grew older, her love of dragons grew stronger. She would sit outside, and watched as the queen dragon would fly, and the other's would follow her lead, and they would play around in the sky. She always thought it was a beautiful site to witness, but when the dragons flew too high for her to see she would start imagining what it would be like to be a queen dragon flying so high up in the sky. She remembered how her parents would always wish she would become a harper, but they knew that no matter what they did, she would find a way to become a rider. So they started taking her to the Weyr to see how they did things. Those were some of the greatest years of her life.
Things started going wrong after Akira turned fifteen. Her parents were on their way to another party when things went horribly wrong. Out of nowhere, a Hive of infected dragons attacked them, and the others that were traveling with them. Akira didn't find out about it till the only survivors of the attack came and told her. She didn't know what to do, or where to go. She stayed in her family home for a few days, but when no one came, she left the house, and never looked back. She went to the Weyr, hoping that they would take her in, and train her to be a rider. Which they did, and she was one of five other female candidates.
After two years of training Akira finally had a chance to impress a queen dragon. All of the female candidates had stood on those hot sands waiting for the large blood red egg to hatch, and reveal it's Garnet queen. This queen egg was the last to actually hatch, which had people in the stands worried. Yet when everyone saw the large hatchling that came out, all that worrying was replaced with excitement. It was finally time for the girls to impress, and Akira seemed to be the calmest of the female candidates. The large dragonet slowly made her way to the candidates after shaking off all the goo from her red hide. She stopped, and looked at each of the candidates closely before finally choosing the girl she was going to spend the rest of her life with.
Akira had almost fainted when she heard the female demanding to be fed. She had fallen on her knees in front of the dragonet, which hadn't impressed the female. The Garnet queen took her large left claw and swiped it across Akira's face. She screamed and covered her bleeding eye with her hand. The other girls had ran the moment they saw the dragon hit the girl she had impressed. It wasn't long before the healer's had arrived, and started to treat Akira's wound. They kept telling her that she would be fine but Akira wasn't really paying much attention to them, since she had a pair of orange/red eyes glaring at her. She had thanked the healers when they finally finished with her, and then hurried over to the feeding pales to feed the upset dragonet.
After the dragonet was full Akira started scolding the red queen. The two of them were practically screaming at each other before they were distracted by old Weyrwoman and her dragon. They both apologize, and went where they were told. The two of them were best friends from that time on, they still had fights once a while, but no one ever got hurt again. Akira's eye healed really quickly, and she was extremely happy when the healer's told her that she would be able to do everything that a normal weyrling pair would be able to. From that day on the turns seemed to just fly by, and soon Narolieth was rising for the first time, and was guarding her first clutch.

Size:
80ft.
Rank:
Garnet - Weyrqueen
Colors:
Body: FF0000
Underside: 8B0000
Appearance:
Narolieth is a very, VERY, large dragon. Yet her size doesn't hinder her in the least. Her wing muscles are extremely strong, and while it does take a bit of energy to get this large dragon off the ground once she's in the sky you wouldn't think she's as large as she is. With all that muscle Naorlieth actually looks really delicate, and feminine. Her leathery red wings are kept close to her body when she is on the ground, and her whip-like tail is always slowly moving back and forth behind the large queen. Her large claws are kept sharp and shining, yet they are trimmed enough so that they do not mess with the way that she walks. Narolieth is a typical red in color that actually fades to dark red as you get closer to her underside. Her large wings are the same dark red as her underside. Other than her wings, her hide is unmarked. She takes great pride in the way her hide looks, which means that she keeps it clean, and shining.
Personality:
Narolieth is a typical Garnet in the fact that she has a pretty bad temper at times. Yet she seems to have calmed down a lot since the day she had clawed at Akira. She has problems with people disrespecting her, which usually sets off her temper. She demands respect from everyone, but is very lenient with Akira. Narolieth is extremely protective, and ever since the day that her and Akira fought, she has been a little overly protective of her. Whenever Narolieth has to leave her Weyr she becomes extremely agitated, and can NOT wait to return. Narolieth has a very big soft spot for dragonets, and young children. When a young child asks her to do something, or asks her for something, she normally gives in. She craves attention, and tries to get it anyway possible, which often gets her in trouble with Akira. Even though she can have a bad temper, she is actually very level-headed in stressful situations.
Mind-Voice:
I be Narolieth, this be AkiraMine.
Narolieth's mind-voice is actually really gentle on one's mind. It is bright, but a quiet kind of bright. Her voice holds a persons attention for a while after she has finish speaking. It is a voice that you just can't ignore, yet, you don't want to ignore it either.
General Health:
Healthy.
