Physical Info



Physical Description: Elasaya is sunlight. Elasayas hair dirty blond at birth, 
is now bleached by sun and saltwater to a platinum hue, 
fastened back when she is at work.Slim of build, curvy hips 
and a respectable amount of cleavage, Elasaya is a lucky girl to
have  been raised so sheltered from the outside world. 
Large almond eyes blue-gray peer out  from under thick lashes.
An adorable pert nose and rose bud lips completes her heart-shaped face. 
Elasayas voice is surprisingly loud for such a small girl of 5"3, 
her joyful laughter startles many a sea crafter. 
Her parents attempt to dress her down, clothing their daughter 
in her fathers old tunic and trews making her appear much younger 
than she is in truth and concealing her curves..
 
Clothing/Weapons: Her parents attempt to dress her down, 
clothing their daughter in her fathers old tunics  
and trews making her appear much younger than she is in truth 
and concealing her curves. Elasaya is fine with this and finds pants 
more practical anyway. Around her waist a small beltknife hangs, 
for protection and eating meals. A seashell torque rests about her neck.
 
 
Personality: A wild child, happy, free, and full of sunny laughter. 
Prone to long solitary walks in early morning light she relishes in her freedom. 
Elasaya loves to create things, working with her hands is this young ladys passion. 
Elasaya has passion for jewelry often collecting bits of sea smoothed shell,
stone and fastening them into charms.  
Elasya is also very stubborn and convinced that even if 
women are the /weaker/  sex she can still contribute, 
in fact she believes she can do anything a boy of her age can do. 
(even though that is not physically possible!)
 
History: 
Elasayas mother never attempted to turn her daughter into a woman, 
in fact she fiercely encouraged the opposite from birth with the hope 
that the more uncouth her child grew to be the safer she would be. 
The only womans work she taught her daughter 
is how to sew. Her stepfather, deeply in love with Elasayas mother
let her express her worries and shelter their daughter. 

Whispers begin to circulate that Elasayas father was 
more than /fatherly/ to his charge. 
after all speculation was that Elasaya wasnt his daughter at all, 
And speculation was right. 
While her step father never did anything un-fatherly to Elasaya, 
he was not her true  father. Elasayas biological father 
was a Minor lord, her mother once worked as a weaver  for.  
The minor lord holder had several secret encounters with his resident weaver 
(the men say willingly the women say otherwise). 
Elasayas mother went back to her home hold,
and was hand-fasted to a sailor named Riebert .
Elasaya was raised by her stepfather as if she was his flesh 
and blood and got the same treatmentas her two half-siblings.  
 

Your New Weyrling's Name: Elasaya

 Dragonet's Name: Ikuth

 Age: New Hatched
 

Physical Descriptions: Ikuth is on the dainty side of the gold scale,

much smaller than her golden clutch-mate Hynth, but well within respectable gold

perimeters. An epitome of feminine beauty granted solidarity declares

itself across the sun washed hide of this lithe gold, a hue that resembles nothing so much as a summer sunrise.

From the palest platinum gold to deep 24 carat, variations blend seamlessly across Ikuths sun kissed body.

Missing from this royal tapestry are the orange and red golds, the deep bronze kissed

fiery golds are exempt from Ikuths hide giving her an overall

almost dreamlike quality. Almost transparent wingsales seem to glow with a

soft gilded flicker when light passes through the almost intangible appendages.

Wing spars are strikingly colored a deep pure gold in contrast to the

wingsails creating a striking contrast. Pyrite encased ridges rise from her slender

neck and reaper as that travel down the slender winding length of her tail,

the to good to be true sparkle of fools gold winking temptingly at all who

pause to admire Ikuth. While on the petite side the young gold is in proportion

with herself with no part of her body seeming to overbalance the rest,

other than what is normal for a young dragon her age.

 

Personality Description:

 

Ikuth may be the smaller of the two golds hatched on the sands

that fateful day, but she has enough fire for a gold three times her size.

She has opinions, she has wantsand she will never hesitate to tell Elasaya what

she thinks aboutwell everything! Her golden dam must have been a piece of work

for we must assume this little gold takes after a truly fascinating queen.

Ikuth LIKES to know what is going on, and while Elasaya prefers to handle things

from a distance Ikuth believes her rider should jump right on in and

get things done. After all is not she, Ikuth Elasayas dragon?

 

Why then should her rider not act as important as Ikuth KNOWS they are?

She is gold, she likes being adored by the males old and young,

bronze and brown and believes she SHOULD be adored. Ikuth with go out of her

way to be admired by males both human and dragon and a little flattery is a good

way of getting on her better side. When given a chance, like at her hatching Ikuth

will make an entrance.Ikuth gets along with all of her siblings but does know that

she and Hynth are the most important, after all they are goldsthey lead and

thats they way things are. Ikuth has the typical gold behavior as far as preening

over her looks, and being tolerant although irritated at the smaller green females.

 

Ikuth is a messy eater and LOVES mealtimes, Elasaya almost believes that the

small gold is trying to eat enough to outmatch her sister, although the Weyrling

keeps warning her dragon that the only way she will be bigger than Hynth

would be around the middle. Very playful Ikuth pulls off pranks that one would

normally accredit to a green or blue Weyrling. She has a playful and wickedly

sharp since of humor and demonstrates it often.Ikuth loves swimming, Elasaya is

sure this is because she likes to wash her golden hide then make Elasaya oil it

until the little queen glows as brightly as a metal smiths golden ring. Ikuth likes

to make a showing, she knows she is a stunning gold and doesnt want to be seen

at anything other than her best.

 

Ikuth also thinks she should be able to do everything her sibling can do and this will surly lead to problems further on in

Weyrling training. Of course Ikuths first love is Elasaya and the gold will do

anything to make her rider happy, even if it goes against her natural outgoing

behavior.
