Personality: Up until three months ago, Wyllig had always known where she was going and that she would get there someday, even if she didn't know how. She approaches life as a puzzle to be solved, and even though she isn't all that bright, she enjoys the challenge of working things out. These imaginative traits definitely persist today, but where she was once confident and certain, Wyllig is now rather untethered. She had a plan that included a lot of runners, a handsome husband, and six or seven pretty babies, and that's clearly not happening anymore. Jumping into new situations without much planning, laughing loudly, and talking back seem to be the flavors of the moment, and even after she finds her place at the weyr and calms down a bit, she will still have a tendency toward voicing her opinions at inopportune times and poking her head where it doesn't belong.
Positive Trait List: joyous, unafraid, inventive
Negative Trait List impulsive, unmoored, meddlesome
History: Born to Wilmah, a runner breeder, and Yulig, a runner showman, Wyllig and her twin brother Yullah were surrounded by runners for as long as they could remember. They were raised at Keroon Hold, and though he loved his sister and his parents, Yullah never seemed happy with his home. As soon as he found a reason to, he left the hold and didn't look back. It was thirteen-year-old Wyllig's first experience with what she deemed betrayal, and it wouldn't be her last.
She was already a runnercraft apprentice, but she threw herself into the work with even greater fervor, walking the tables at seventeen and leaving Keroon herself, but never for long. On one of her trips, she met a journeyman farmer named Shey and they hit it off famously. Wyllig found excuses to visit him as frequently as possible, and for nearly two years, she was content. Unfortunately, when their conversations finally got around to marriage, children, and settling, Shey grew increasingly angry, wanting to keep their arrangement as it always had been. She pressed, he clammed up, and after a lengthy screaming match, Shey told Wyllig she was no longer welcome in his home. Betrayed again.
Wyllig was devastated, but she pushed through, continuing to do her job. If she was a little angrier, no one really seemed to notice. It was only several months ago when she began to feel a little better, joking with a new, flirty couple rather than snapping at them, and she was rewarded with a visit from a search dragon and an offer to stand for the newest clutch at High Reaches. It wasn't anything she had ever seen herself doing, but surely riding a dragon wasn't any harder than riding a runner.

DRAGON
- Name: Luteth
Personality: Luteth is a loving dragon who wants to see everyone do their best. The problem is, he is convinced that he knows what "best" is, even if he doesn't know anything about the person or dragon he is trying to help. He's a well-meaning know-it-all, gifted with a calm bearing that makes him seem more mature than most, even as a hatchling. He is good at listening and exceptional at keeping secrets, but can be a little pushy when mining for those secrets when they're not given up willingly. Luteth's advice always comes with a touch of arrogance, and if your solution to your own problem doesn't match his, prepare for your opinion to be subtly shrugged off.
- + grounded, parental, trustworthy
- arrogant, condescending, nosy
Size: 28'
Physical Attributes: Luteth is a combination of extremes that add up to a fairly average dragon. His legs are quite long, giving him speed and grace on the ground, but a stubby tail, neck, and wings slows him down in the air.
Additional Notes: To counter his lackluster speed, Luteth was granted a longer than average flame and a tolerance for pain that keeps him in the air after all but the most grievous of injuries. He is a fan of flights, both as a participant and an observer, oddly enough, but he's only ever really interested in being intimate with greens.
Why Me: Out of everyone who touched his egg on the hatching sands, there was no one Luteth wanted to guide to greatness more than Wyllig. Before he had shaken off the last bits of his shell, Luteth stomped past a gaggle of hopeful candidates and planted himself in front of the fidgety young woman.
WylligMine. You waste time worrying about what others think when your Luteth is starving right in front of you! The past is not worthy of your wondrous attention. Come!
While they both possess enough good-natured curiosity to keep from bowing under the weight of boredom and expectation, Wyllig has a freedom of spirit and persistence that Luteth is attracted to. Instead of just thinking about being contrary, Wyllig actually does something about it... sometimes. After all, Luteth is there to talk her down from her more unrealistic ideas as well. Together, they will make a dependable, if slightly annoying, team.
