Character Description

[/b]
Talera is of average height and build, with little in the way of curves. Her bust is rather small, and her hips are thin, giving the woman a rather squared frame. Talera's shoulders are wide, with long arms attached, while her long legs are well-toned from Turns of stairwells. Her brown hair falls not much farther than her shoulders, and she tends to keep it in a loose knot, rather than flowing freely.
Talera's features are well-defined, if not terribly feminine. Her brows are dark, eyes round, and nose straght, with a sharp chin and high cheekbones.

Usually, she can be found in working attire; wherhide pants that can take as much damage as one could wish to give, button-up blouses that wash easy, and when the need arises, a loose shawl.[/td][/tr]

Character Personality

[/b]
Talera was born with a quick mind and deft hands. She is a dedicated worker, and though she enjoys children, she firmly believes in fostering over raising one's own brood.
She is of a serious mind, and finds wild exploits of some riders unsettling – though this is not to say that she herself is prudish; working in the caverns during mating flights will rid anyone of such inhibitions.

The young woman abhors anything that dampens one's perceptions and inhibitions. As such, she has a severe disdain for all things disdain for all sorts of liquor and recreational uses of fellis.
Usually of a sound temperament, Talera is hard to anger. However, when frustrated, the queen rider can be testy, with biting remarks.

When in the company of those she enjoys, Talera is joking, and can be a heavy flirt - to the potential discomfort of whoever catches her eye. [/td][/tr]

Character History

[/b]
Talera was born the only child of the brown rider T'lan and the cavern worker Vemorra. Growing up, she spent much of her youth in the lower caverns, under various foster mothers, and out of both parents' sight. When she reached fourteen, rather than being shipped to the barracks like many of the boys had been, Talera remained in the caverns, fostering youths on her own.

Multiple clutches came and went, and Talera remained a mother to suckling babes and mischievous youths. When her eldest fosterling Impressed at the last clutch, Talera saw it as a wake-up call of sorts, and left the caverns for the barracks.
The way she saw it, what was the worst that could happen?

She Impressed Aerroth.
And now, with Gemma and the only other gold within the Weyr dead, Talera is left wondering if she can handle the pressures of leading a Weyr should a transfer never come.[/td][/tr]

Dragon Description

[/b]
Large for a gold, Aerroth is a good forty-two feet in length. The queen is without blemish or discoloration, with a clear sheen of bright gold throughout her entire body. Her hide, though soft to the touch, must be cleaned twice a day, and oiled on a thrice-daily basis, lest it chafe. Her eyes sit under arched ridges and above a sleek snout. Aerroth's headknobs are slim, with little bulbing at the tips compared to other dragons. Her limbs are lean while the tail is long, with a thick forking at the end.
Aerroth's wings are wide, giving her issue when walking along the ground; the gold must be careful when treading on soil, or she will give the appearance of waddling.

When in the sun, Aerroth gleams with what is usually considering a mating sheen; this quirk makes deciphering her nearness to rising all the more difficult.[/td][/tr]

Dragon Personality

[/b]
Aerroth is a haughty beast. Fully aware that she is a gold and because of this, a queen, she does not abide by the wishings of “lesser” beasts, and is insulted daily that she and her rider must follow the instructions of the “lowly” N'ven. As queen, all of the Weryhold is hers to claim, by sheer right of birth, and rarely can even Talera convince the dragon otherwise.

Aerroth strives to form Talera into what a proper Weyrwoman should be. The dragon scrutinizes everything from the clothes her rider prepares to wear, to how she conducts herself in the presence of “lesser” riders. Bronze riders are the only men worth her rider's time, and should Talera catch the eye of a hopeful brown or blue rider, she will likely be scolded.
Green riders aren't even men, and as such, Aerroth pays them no heed. The dragons themselves hold little worth to the queen, as they hardly have the sense the Egg gave them. Their riders make or break the Weyr, however, and Aerroth has a distinct interest in what goes on under her Rim.

Where Talera is concerned, the woman would have to try very hard to do any wrong in the dragon's eyes. Her rider was the best – is the best – out of all that stood the day that she hatched. To Aerroth's mind, she merely took so long to get out of her shells, so as to ensure that she wouldn't have to put some silly green in her place when she meant to claim her Talera.

The woman, on the other hand, is quite capable of manipulating her dragon into acting the way she'd prefer; a simple teasing can be enough of a scolding for the gold, and should Talera find something displeasing in her dragon, the queen is more than glad to change what might be “unfitting” for one of her rank – however, she is just as likely to impose the same restrictions on the other colors of dragons, as well.
If she has to deny herself something, why shouldn't they?[/td][/tr]
