Thea

Description

Slim and graceful, Thea appears taller than she really is, or would like to be. Perhaps it's her straight-backed posture which creates this illusion, though she is of average height. Alas, where other girls have curls and flame-red locks, Thea's is a straight, plain brown. As if to placate its wearer, her hair, makes up for it with a high sheen and is cut to shoulder-length. Her facial features are fine-boned, with dark, finely-shaped brows that arch over thick-lashed eyes of icy green. Her lower lip curves in a bit of fullness that hints at a smile and helps dispel any aloof appearance.

Today she is wearing a calf-length skirt made of a soft, moss-green material and a sleeveless shirt of the same hue, decorated with intricate embroidered beadwork across the front. She's wearing plain hide sandals on her feet.

History

Thea was born and raised in Coldstone Hold, a small cot in the mountainous region of the High Reaches. Under the authority High Reaches Hold, Coldstone enjoyed some prosperity due to its production and export of fine, soft wool and richly-woven fabrics. Thea's parents, Holder Thadan and Lady Rensea required that all of their offspring attend Craft training in some field. At the age of thirteen turns, Thea was entered at Weaver Hall. She did well enough, but lacked the interest to excel to the point where she would obtain Journeyman Rank, so at the age of seventeen turns, her father recalled her. Once home, Thea found herself taking an interest in grading wool fibers and Thadan found he could use this to his advantage. At first Thea accompanied his wool exporters and traders to Gathers. Then she began taking the finest of fibers, weaves and textiles directly to Holds and Weyrs to advertise their benefit and procure trade contracts. Thadan decided to expand his trade into the Southern Continent so Thea travelled by ship to make contacts. It was while she was at Hannista Hold that she met Niva and this led to her accepting the position of Assistant to Xanadu Weyr’s Headwoman, Hisolda.

While working at Xanadu Weyr Thea was Searched for Ellamariseth & Arinith’s clutch, where she impressed gold Seryth. Her life as a Weyrling was a considerable adjustment, but her training as a weyrwoman even more so. Her time was spent caring for Seryth and assisting in the smooth-running of the Weyr and little else. With no say in Weyr politics and no real close friends, Thea learned to take one day at a time, keep busy and push her opinions, dreams and and wishes deep inside, not really aware how frustrated and lonely inside she felt.

Into her life came a stranger by the name of Enkavir, who shared his thoughts, his doubts and his dreams. He drew hers out and they found themselves close-minded, became friends, fell in love. Changes happen, and not always for the best. Enkavir was Searched and the move from Thea’s cottage to the Candidate Barracks was hard for them both. But the hearbreak came after the hatching was over and he was left standing. Instead of returning to their cottage, Enkavir simply walked into the night and disappeared. Thea was lost, spent her free time searching for him and waiting for his return. She still waits…

Firelizards

Lord of Destruction Bronze Ruin
Pale bronze sweeps over his long, lean limbs and his equally long wings, with the pale sails stretching between each of the spars. His body is the same long shape, narrow from his sharp muzzle, over his elongated headknobs, to the end of his lengthy tale. Hide has hints of gold buffed into each of the sharp ridges along his back, the same light hues along his stomach as well.

Always On Guard Brown Shep
Lean sinewy muscle runs across this brown's body, from his long snout to the quivering tip of his tail. Soot covers his face, lightening as it gets up to his headknobs before sweeping into a dusty tan down the length of his neck and most of his body. A dark cocoa — nearly black — forms a saddle around his mid-back which is covered most of the time by his cream-colored wings, where its color is only matched by his light-tan paws even if they end in wickedly sharpened onyx talons. Unlike most other firelizards, this brown's proportions give the illusion that his hindquarters are shorter than his forelegs, usually tensed with bunched muscles as if ready to pounce on any danger.

Dragon

Dawn Before the Storm Gold Seryth

Morning's mist settles, an ethereal cloak upon this slender gold's shoulders, the first pale rays of Rukbat casting their golden shimmer over her form. Sunspots dance upon her delicate muzzle, spots of richer metallic gold speckling the hide between faceted eyes, fading out over each gently rounded headknob. Ridges remain in shadow, each gently rounded shape like a distant hill on the horizon, hints of lilac darkening the curves of the creamy-golden line upon her back, following the curve of her lean tail to the very tip, a tip dipped in dull amber. The same dull amber speckles her dainty paws, stretching upwards to twine like armlets around each limb, spreading outwards across her smooth stomach. Silver and gold vapors settle upon the pale membranes of her wings, spread between the shadowy spars that arch outwards - untouched by the morning's pale light. As if a gentle rain has fallen upon her back, cream flows into gold flows into silver, colors mingling effortlessly as if a celestial watcher has touched her very being.
