FULL APPEARANCE: Sandy isn't the biggest or toughest looking girl on Pern. She's actually a bit of a runt. Her dress is surprisingly feminine, full of frilly dresses and bows and floral designs and plenty of pink. But underneath is always a pair of trousers and sturdy boots and the dresses often end up tossed on the ground as she goes running off after some adventure or another. Sandy has a bit of an overbite and is surprisingly strong for a girl her size. She's also quite the climber. She might not look like much, but she can run roughshod with the best of them.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Sandy doesn't do things half way. She's in it to have a good time, sure, but also to the be best. She plays hard and fierce and has a fondness for daredevil adventures of all sorts. She doesn't really know when to stop and her enthusiasm and competitiveness can easily turn to recklessness and arrogance. Sandy is surprisingly fond of sparring and better at it than most people would expect. She's not much of one for weapons though. Hand to hand is best. Knives are for the weak. The real badasses throw a punch.

Sandy fancies herself tough as nails and can usually back it up through a mix of skill, stubbornness and a surprising bit of cleverness. She's actually pretty good at improvising solutions for her problems and adapting what she has to what she needs. She prefers working it out through sheer athleticism but when that's not enough...eh. Better than giving up or worse- losing.

Sandy is still something of a farm-girl at heart, full of folksy sayings and odd little bits of what could be wisdom or could be a bunch of random nonsense. She's proud of where she comes from and doesn't much tolerate anyone talking shards about backwater cotholders.

HISTORY
FAMILY:
Mother: Madechi
Father: Sandar
Some siblings scattered about
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: Cothold near Ruatha
HISTORY:
Sandechi wasn't one of those candidates with a history much worth gossiping about. She was one of the middle kids of a large brood at one of Fort's many small cotholds. She grew up farming and doing other odd jobs, whatever it took to help keep the place running. She was happy enough there and never really imagined she'd want to leave until she was Searched at fifteen.

But obviously dragons were cooler than farming so she didn't much hesitate to go either. Sandy embraced candidacy with gusto. She was particularly fond of the more physical aspects, especially the bits where they learned how to spar.

Sandy stood for a couple of turns until she Impressed Rugrunth, who she was sure right from the start was pretty much the perfect dragon. She made it through a fairly uneventful weyrlinghood and entered the wings, where she kicked thread ass and generally had a good time.

When the rest of her class started moving to High Reaches for some reason, she decided to tag along because why not? Moving'd be a new adventure and there were mountains there she hadn't tried climbing yet. She turned up one day, transfer papers in hand, and started making herself right at home the way she always did.

UPDATES

• Rugrunth is caught by a clump of Thread, badly scoring his left wing. He crash-lands, breaking his right hind leg in several places; his wing will heal, but he'll always have a limp (Permanent). Sandy's right arm is broken in the crash, along with a couple of slightly fractured ribs (Major).

Rugrunth


BASICS
NAME: Rugrunth
BIRTHDATE Summer 2762
AGE: 5 as of 2767

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 38 ft
HEIGHT: 9.5 ft
WINGSPAN: 57 ft
COLOR: Blue
HEX CODE: #383da6
FULL APPEARANCE: Rugrunth is a large, muscular blue. He is build not unlike a wher, and pretty similar in build to Wrednoth. He's all thick limbs and large chest and blunt face. He's muscles and is definitely not light on his feet. He can be surprisingly fast, when he wants to be. He is a very light blue all over, and his markings are pretty spectacular. In bright blue patches all over his legs, face, sides, and back, are a pattern that makes him look like he has scales, or maybe that the blue was supposed to be formed into a proper marking, but didn't quite get that far. He looks like he should be scaly, but his hide is just as smooth and soft as anyone else. He has a slight underbite, but it doesn't seem to effect him at all.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Rugrunth is a rolly ball of a rough and tumble. He wants to wrestle around and fight a bit and maybe get into trouble. Trouble? That sounds fun! Let's get into trouble! He's rude, a bit crude, and always likes a good laugh. Below that surface, however, he is insecure. He doesn't really understand what his place is in the world, and even though he's a blue and thinks that he should really know where he fits in, he doesn't really feel like he belongs there. He wants to sort out for himself where he should be, even if it means bumping into other dragons and maybe fighting out what he needs to do with his life.

To his rider, Rugrunth wants to have fun. He wants them to have fun. He wants them to smile and be happy and wants to find whatever he can do to make them happy. He isn't very good at delicate things, and thinks that cheering someone up means you should bump them in the chest repeatedly, or lick their face, or do something similar. It works on him, shouldn't it work on them too? He likes a good snuggle, and will probably try to keep crawling into bed when he's too big for it. Under the troublemaker exterior, he is really very sweet... but he'll definitely deny that in public, because he is clearly a big, tough dragon.

VOICE: Rugrunth sounds like a river trying to speak through a metal pipe. Almost comforting, but there's something weird about the tone. His voice is rather masculine, and he is pretty prone to ending sentences with 'ha!' He tends to call people weird and almost mean-sounding nicknames, but it's an odd way on how he shows he likes them.
