PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Naeuri is a soft spoken person, observant and patient and calm. Serious to a fault, they seem to lack a real sense of humor and tends to take most jokes literally and is often trying to dissect why the joke is funny and therefore.. well.. ruins the humor. They also take duty seriously and strives to fill their lot in life and often is most happy when working. Learning was always a passion and they often would find themselves in the company of scribes in whatever weyr they may be living in, soaking in knowledge from them and any public resources available.
While Naeuri isn't shy, they do not find pleasure in conversation for its own sake. Words are valuable and wasting them seems frivolous and foolish to them. The one exception is when they see something to criticize. They also do not mince words when they think they knows better, even though they often do not. They refuse to accept anything but their truth being correct and can be very stubborn once their mind is made up. They think that they are a perfectionist and doing others a favor by sharing that perfection, not realizing all the ways in which their vision falls short.

BIRTHPLACE: Telgar Weyr
HISTORY:
Naeuri was born to rider parents in Telgar and was given to creche at birth and never really got to know their family and honestly, they did not really care. The creche was family enough for them and their drive to become a rider was something that manifested early in life. Interested in dragons and the desire to soar the skies, Naeuri focused more on finding out about rider life, dragons and anything to do with them, rather than play the typical games of most children of their age. At ten years of age, they had a chance to speak with a rider and learned that their illusions of flight were not all that founded in reality and the rider was quite blunt about how tough fighting thread and how much work a dragon really was.
Taking this advice to heart, they decided that perhaps their time would be better spent to find out more about what such a life entailed, rather than indulging in childish fantasies of flying and fun and glory. When they were 16, they were ironically searched by the same dragon whose rider they had spoken to years earlier and was whisked off into candidacy. During their first years, they did not impress but this did not bring them down and disappointment was simply accepted as the dragons not choosing them because the dragon was just not the right one.
But when they did impress at age 21 turns, it was to the most energetic and outgoing blue that Naeuri had ever known... and that was not all! Thuleth, as he introduced himself, had two tails! This odd mutation definitely stood out and made the dragon waddle a bit when he was walking and it was a bit comical and Naeuri felt mortified and betrayed.. they had waited all this time.. for THIS?
At first, they disliked their dragon, the energy and bubbly and well... hyper personality that Thuleth seemed to possess annoyed them to no end, along with that odd waddle that was very noticeable. This dragon was also entirely too social and would babble at anyone or any dragon that would listen. It caused them no end of embarrassment. However, as they grew together, they came to love their dragon, even if they simply showed it in a different way, through an extra massage or bath here and there or an occasional treat of some kind.
The presence of the second tail made flight a bit of a challenge for a bit, as the extra weight was something that had to be adjusted for. But Naeuri saw this as a challenge and rose to it, learning to work with Thuleth to turn the mutation to an advantage and used the twin tails as a way to pull off an aerial turn which helped when they became old enough to graduate and combat thread. During the time after graduation ,Naeuri had purchased a flit egg and from that egg, an affectionate little flit named Yukio was born. This flit often draped around their shoulders like a scarf and this was acceptable to Naeuri, as they did like his quiet and comforting presence.
For years, Naeuri had wanted to see the world elsewhere, outside of Telgar.. and specifically to Fort, as they recalled all the history and stories of the weyr and wanted to go to a place as well that they could have a fresh start. So once they were able, they moved to Fort and joined the Daylight wing and strive to serve and fit in, and offer their sage advice on important matters, because clearly it would be needed.. right?
