[Meepfur]

Name: Teohe
Age: 16
Nameday: 3560.06.07
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: ???
Weyr: Western Weyr
Rider Rank: Weyrling
Previous Rank/Craft: None (Weyrbrat/Candidate)
Physical Description:
Growing to be stocky and a bit on the short side at 5'3", Teohe is still filling into her frame, and may also gain another inch or two. Blonde-haired and blue-eyed, she may grow into a semblance of conventionally pretty, but will tend to carry a bit of extra weight.

Personality:
Though no less good-natured than her father, Teohe has a far calmer, much less boisterous temperament. She is quiet and thoughtful, and prefers to think before she speaks or acts; while she doesn't think poorly of those who enjoy it, she was never one for rowdy play or pretend fights (and certainly not real fights!). She's something of a pacifist, loathe to even playfully push someone, let alone hit them, and is just as careful of her words, well aware that they can hurt every bit as much as something physical. She's always had a very strong sense of empathy who hurts when others are hurting, and has a bleeding heart. If someone wants her help, she'll be right there, all the way, and give them what they need without thought. Her time, her things, her advice, whatever she has. You need her notes to study from? Sure! Forgot to study for a test? She won't say a thing if she notices you looking at her answers. Got behind on your chore for whatever reason? She'll do her best to help you catch up! Lost a bet that you can't pay and worried about the consequences? You can have what little she's got. This can lead her to being an enabler of others' bad habits; for all that her intention is to be helpful, it just allows them to skate by without having to face the consequences of their actions and learn.

Teohe can be too selfless, to the point where it can be a detriment to her own wellbeing. She'll give and give until she has nothing left, and then would feel guilty for not being able to do more. Similarly, she's very inclined to run herself ragged when there's work of any kind to be done. She will throw herself at it without reservation, and will finish even if she has to drag herself over the line. She will give nothing less than a full effort, refusing to bow to her own limitations - limitations she is aware she has, but chooses to ignore.

For all that she will work herself to the bone if there's a job to be done, she does love a good time, though she's more likely to be on the edges of a party than right in the middle. She likes the company and the energy, but doesn't care to be the center of attention...but she very much wants friends. Even if she's not core to the group, she still needs to be a part of one to feel fulfilled, as she craves a sense of belonging and a stable place in the world. In the same vein, she desperately wants to be loved, and will be prone to making poor decisions in the field of romance. Whether she hones in on a bad boy who "needs" to be "helped," or swoons over the first lady to turn on the charm, she'll open her heart time and again and leave it ripe for breaking.

Her self-esteem is derived mostly from how useful she is or isn't to others, and to some extent how many friends she has and what opinions they express about her, and so how she feels about herself is largely dependent on the company she keeps. If she has healthy, positive relationships with people who build her up and encourage her, she'll flourish; if she attaches herself to someone who puts her down or wants her to change herself to suit them, she'll languish, but not have the emotional fortitude to cut the cord on her own.

Positive Trait List empathetic, giving, hard-working
Negative Trait List enabler, pacifist, derives self-worth from others' needs/opinions

History:
Born to a bronzerider and a kitchen worker, Teohe is very much a typical weyrbrat: the product of a Flight, and raised mostly in the creche. Her parents were involved, however, and Teohe remains close to them both, as well as to her father's bronze, Hyglath. She has always been completely infatuated with dragons, as Hyglath is nothing short of a giant marshmallow, and allowed himself to be climbing gym and cuddle buddy whenever he was able.

She did find her father somewhat intimidating, as he is a very large and boisterous man, but she adored him no less. She knew she would never quite measure up to him, much as she would have liked to; she saw and envied his popularity, his many friends and loves, and doubted she could ever achieve or win such affections without being just like him. And since she knows full well she will never be him, she has settled for being herself, and that's mostly fine, most days. She has friends, of course, and a couple of young relationships, but has never been what she views as popular. Just there. Teohe grew deeply concerned for her father's wellbeing when Thread returned, and is awed that he seems not to care about the danger...but will fuss at him to be careful when she can.

She entered Candidacy at 14, and has always been dutiful in lessons, chores, and the like. In spite of the risks, she wanted a dragon most ardently, a friend who would always, always be hers. She was on the fence about participating in the swaps, but eventually caved to the urging of a friend who was going and wanted company.

Name: Tiossith

Personality
Vanity, thy name is Tiossith.

This is one showy, flashy, fabulous dragon, and baby does he know it. Maybe a little too well. Tiossith places massive importance on appearances, none moreso than his own; while he was naturally blessed with perfect proportions and the most fetching of hides, that would mean little if he were not to maintain himself properly. You will never catch this dragon "letting himself go," and even as a hatchling he will be unlikely to overeat. He knows exactly how much he needs (preferably of the finest cuts), and will not go beyond that. On bath day, he expects a most thorough scrubbing - a massage wouldn't be amiss, either! - and will turn up his nose at anything other than fine, scented oil. His claws had best be perfectly manicured, as well.

All this vanity might be hard to swallow if, when asked to work, Tiossith weren't rock-steady and absolutely reliable. Fortunately, his exacting standards do apply to more than just his appearance, and he will push for the best when working as well. After all, how would it look if he were to laze about? Terrible, that's what! So when it comes time for lessons, drills, and eventually fighting Thread, there will be no problems getting Tiossith to buckle down and do his duty, though he will expect a bath to promptly follow any exercise that gets him dirty. He will wear scars well, but if ever maimed or permanently grounded, would likely have problems ever seeing himself as "whole" again.

Tiossith's meticulous standards and fine taste will also extend to friends and lovers. He wants the exceptional: the prettiest, the bravest, the fastest, anyone who could be classed as one of the best. He has a curious sort of snobbishness in that not alone does he love the best, he also has a perverse admiration for for the worst; notable is notable, after all, regardless of why. But average? He detests average. Average implies a total lack of effort or care, and he can't abide that. Wake up! Shape up! Do something with yourself! Whether it's asked for or not, Tiossith is all too happy to offer advice on how one could improve, though he will do his best to go about it in a tactful manner. Perhaps you might consider accessorizing in this color instead, or putting your hair up this way, or eating more greens, or flaming like so, and on and on and on. There is almost always room for improvement, and no reason not to strive towards it!

His exacting standards and tactful manner give him the makings of a good leader, and while he will acknowledge that, he does not crave power just for power's sake. Whether or not he moves up the ladder won't change that he's the best, and if anything not moving up affords him a little more time to dedicate to, well, himself. And His, of course. The only one Tiossith is ever likely to love more than Tiossith is His.

Size: 56'
Physical Attributes: With everything in almost perfect proportion for his color, Tiossith is fast and agile, but with a reserve of endurance that will serve him well. Muscular, but not too muscular, he is very much built to do the job that his color is meant to do, and do it well.
Additional Notes: Destined to be a heartbreaker, it's incredibly unlikely that Tiossith will ever settle down; it would take the most exceptional creature or creatures to ever tie him down. He will delight in sampling everything that Flights have to offer, and if not selected by the lady when chasing (silly, but her prerogative!), will be happy to take his pick of the finest suitors.

Why Me: Teohe, oh, Teohe! Tiossith knows a diamond in the rough when he sees one, and here you are. A little time to mature, a little schooling in how to carry and look after herself, and Teohe will make a fine, fine young woman - and the finest of riders, of course! Tiossith needs someone who already knows how to work hard, who can match his work ethic but who will also be more than willing to put in the work it requires to take care of such a perfect dragon to keep him in top condition. This is far from a one-sided relationship, however; he will take adoring care of His, and not only help her to reach her potential in every sense, but will insist that she makes herself a priority. He will never let her forget herself, or set all of her own needs aside. And those bad relationships she's prone to? No, those won't do at all! If he thinks someone is bad for His, he won't hesitate to shove them right out of her life. And hopefully, Teohe will be able to lend him a bit more empathy, and with it the ability to temper his tongue when he starts to nitpick.
