Username: Dana Phantom
Character Number: 4
Name: Norra
Age: 46
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Homosexual
Rank: Searchrider
Wing: Burning Skies
Appearance:
Norra is the type of woman who can walk into a room and immediately have all attention drawn to her. With her natural charisma, commanding presence, and aesthetically pleasing looks, she's certainly capable of holding that concentration and using it to her advantage. Not in a bad way, of course; it certainly helps when trying to rally and organize Holders for a Search, and on the few times she's been utilized for sabotage on Southern and its holdings, her duty being distraction and diversion.
To say Norra is pretty is an apt but perhaps a bit of an understated description. Her looks are striking and unusual but in a way that makes her intriguing rather than odd. Handsome would perhaps be the best descriptor, as the years have been rather kind, but her mature face is not a young beauty. Norra's face is diamond shaped with a delicate chin and soft features. Her lips are naturally a soft pink and are perhaps a bit narrow, though this may be because she is almost constantly smiling. Above this is a straight and slightly pointed nose. Her eyes are a vivid blue-violet, and very often seem to sparkle with untold bounds of mirth. Her eyebrows are somewhat flat and a bit narrow, but convey her feelings very easily. A shock of red-orange hair sits atop her head, falling in spikes about her eyes and down to the nape of her neck.
Norra is very lean, and fit from many years of Dragonriding. While not muscular, she is certainly toned. She has ample curves; plenty to send the men reeling, though they quickly learn that she's not interested in their advances. Feminine in dress, Norra wears bright colors and interesting cuts that accent what nature has given her, but when she needs to wear something practical she can pull off a work tunic and pants just as well. Flowy skirts are fun once in a while, but mostly Norra prefers shorts and capris that she can use to show off her long legs, which help boost her up to a model-esque height of 5'10". Alternatively, she tends to wear longer-sleeved shirts and tunics to cover what Threadscarring she has.
Personality:
Norra is the kind of person who has seen everything, laughed at it, and went on to find her next adventure. Serious not a word in this Bluerider's dictionary. Even during Threadfall, she's bound to be laughing and/or not paying attention - a trait that has led her to being in tight spots more than once. While not quite air-headed, she can be flaky and slightly shallow, and things like puns and sarcasm often fly way over her head. While her dragon may be very empathetic, Norra generally is not, and can be very blunt or rub someone the wrong way because she's simply not catching some sign. Despite this, she's generally easy to get along with, as her chipper demeanor tends to draw someone in rather than repel.
Curious to a fault, the longest time Norra seems to actually have an attention span is when she's investigating or on one of her 'adventures'. When something has caught her interest, she wants to know everything about it (at least until something else has distracted her). This makes her both very personable but also somewhat annoying - when she meets someone for the first time, she will be rapt with said person's life story. She loves being surrounded by people, but also tends to get bored easily. Because of this, Norra has had many lovers and has left behind many broken hearts. With a focus that doesn't vary much towards the past or present, others' emotions are often easily forgotten.
Though more often than not its joy, all of Norra's emotions are worn on her sleeves. If she's angry, she's livid, if she's sad, she's depressed, and if you're around, you're going to know this. While not necessarily emotionally unstable, she is known to be slightly fickle and can swing from emotion to emotion. Still, for the most part, the Bluerider remains the cheery optimist she is, despite whatever the circumstance may be.
History:
Norra was one of the youngest children born to a pair of Holders, and as such, always had immense liberty. She enjoyed going on adventures and meeting new people. Around seventeen, when most Pernese women either started finding potential husbands or started a late apprenticeship in a craft, Norra was still just there, enjoying herself and doing little other to help than her required chores. It was then that she met the first love of her life, a (female) cook named Amey - something that horrified her conservative Holder parents. Abandoned by her parents, she traveled to a cothold a few days' travel away, trading drudgery for room and board.
Norra had lived at her new locale for only two weeks when a Searchrider stopped by, looking for candidates for Solace Weyr's latest clutch. She didn't expect much, but the Searchdragon refused to move on to the next potential candidate until Norra accepted the offer. Mere hours later, she found herself moved into Solace and moved into her haven. Here she could be herself. Sure, there were chores, but her homosexuality wasn't shunned, and two months later, she had found Hezzath. Or more, he had found her.
The next major change in her life would come after some of her general Senior Weyrling chores. Asked to accompany a Searchrider to a major hold, Hezzath was just supposed to be transportation for one of the several candidates they would find. No one had really expected him to pick out one. When the boy went and Impressed, Hezzath and Norra were declared Searchriders upon graduation.
Though generally not all that successful in flights due to his lack of stamina, Hezzath has caught his share of Greens and the occasional Black. Ten years after he hatched, Hezzath managed to catch a Green with a male rider, and several weeks later, Norra found herself stricken with horrible nausea. By the time she had realized the truth, it was too late to abort the baby, though Norra had already decided to keep the child. It would be another adventure, and she would have a baby to call her own, even if she couldn't actively care for one. Her daughter, named Kygan, was doted upon to no end when Norra could spare the time between her duties.
During a normal sweep of the nearby cove, the searchrider found herself a little clutch of fire lizard eggs. Though she gave or sold off most of them, two were kept, one for her, and one for her daughter. While Kygan would get a little Brown, Norra found herself coddling a Green quickly named Cerai. She became Norra's little buddy and messenger, often flying ahead to alert Holds of oncoming Search parties.
The start of Threadfall would mark a darker chapter of Norra's life. Slight charring was one thing, but it was a matter of weeks before she found Hezzath scored. After recuperation, she tried to keep her focus on Searches and keeping her eyes on the sky. Despite this, it was only a matter of time before she found herself scored as well. Still, ever the optimist, she is sure with more practice both would be able to make it through a Fight without a single injury... a task they have thus far found nigh-impossible.
Name: Hezzath
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Rank: Blue
Code: 0044bb
Size: 25 feet
Appearance:
There are two things that one notices immediately upon meeting Hezzath: he is almost blindingly bright, and he is almost sickly skinny. There really is not much to this Blue - he is small for his color and very weedy. His build is not unlike a teenage boy just into their first growth spurt: everything is just too long for everything else. Rather narrow, and with a short face, it's quite easy for him to look a touch awkward. He truly is scrawny - very little muscle is packed on this dragon, and looks rather frail. Despite this, he doesn't seem to have any trouble carrying his rider and a few new Candidates after a successful search. His long, narrow wings are built perfectly for catching the smallest wind currents and soaring on them. Even so, he has very little stamina, and has been assigned to the low-tier wing as more support than actual fighting.
Hezzath's brilliant hide very much matches his rider's disposition, being a bright, near-neon shade of blue. It certainly stands out in the crowd, despite his best efforts not to. A darker shade of an indigo hue spills from just behind his headknobs, cascading down the back of his neck, where it pools on his shoulders and wing joints, trickling outward from there. The trailing edge of his wings are dappled with powder blue, looking like a mix of bubbles and clouds. The rest of his body is nearly unerring with the neon, any further variation caused by threadscore.
Personality:
While one may expect Hezzath to be bold and brazen, like his hide and his rider, but this Blue is quite to the contrary. He's a touch shy, though when he warms up to someone, he can be quite friendly. Indeed, it's not rare to find him surrounded by the Weyr's flitts, one giant mass of amusement. Despite being a more solitary dragon, Hezzath is actually somewhat of a flirt, though he works the coy end of the spectrum.
Being a Searchdragon, Hezzath's empathy is certainly above average. He feels the mental strength of those around him, and adapts easily to any disposition he meets. Oftentimes, when Norra is actually being tactful, it's because Hezzath is secretly coaching her.
Mind Voice:
Hezzath is a strong conversationalist - those that get him to speak find his word choice very astute. Even when not being shy, he is quiet, for there is no need to muscle his way through words. That is not to say he sounds like a push over, instead he has the hidden strength of a wide, slow-moving river. There is substance there, a depth and a foundation. Yet moving further down, there's the potential for rapids or waterfalls. A bit high-pitched, his mind voice does little to help the impression that this Blue is, instead, a pubescent boy. Luckily enough for him, there is no chance of it cracking mid-sentence.
Name: Cerai
Age: 7
Gender: Female
Rank: Green
Species: Fire Lizard
Appearance:
A jungle lives on this flitt's hide, the deep, untamed wilds coating her every inch. A rich, dark leafy green is the base, with a sparse dappling of brighter, yellowy shade - pinpricks of sunlight escaping the canopy. A few shadows are spotted here and there that almost seem to move every day, like sneaking jaguars or a fleeting bird. Much like the trees that stretch to the top of the jungle, Cerai is built rather solidly. Looking almost like a tiny Brown, her build is compact and powerful. This gives her surprising stamina, though her flights don't necessarily last long as she is often quickly outmanuvered by her Blue and Amber chasers.
Personality:
There doesn't seem to be much to this Green to vary her from any other. Her attention span seems to be a bit better than most, but this is more due to Hezzath keeping her in check. She is quite coddled by both her human and dragon, spoiled nearly rotten and can be a bit needy.
