Oleander of green Saraneth

OLEANDER

BASICS

RETIRE INFO: Retire
NAME: Oleander
GENDER: female
PRONOUNS: she/her
ORIENTATION: Curious, but vaguely reluctant and rather busy

BIRTHDATE: Spring, 2749
AGE: 18 as of 2767
LOCATION: Fort Weyr
OCCUPATION: dragonrider
WING: Aurora

APPEARANCE
EYES: Light brown
HAIR: Middling to dark brown
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5'7", slight
PLAY-BY: Millie Bobby Brown
FULL APPEARANCE: Oleander is a delicate thing. Soft, short brown hair. Pale, blemish free skin. She keeps her nails trimmed short, and her hands are strong and agile. She is good with small, detailed handy-work. She has little taste for sewing or embroidery, but she can manage seams as needed. Her creativity shines in her pottery, and the simple decorations she adorns her hair with. The small touches to her wardrobe; which is usually muted, neutral colors with a sudden surprise flare of color via a scarf at the neck, or hand-crafted broach. She can be easy to miss. Oleander doesn't thrust herself forward as some might. But she does want you to notice, to praise. She has mastered the art of catching peoples attention with a look. An intense gaze that is quickly subdued once you're looking. She also has a habit of standing a little too close.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: There is something inside of Oleander that craves approval. She is painfully self-critical, accepting praise only from outside sources and all but crippling herself with self-doubt and recrimination without it. Responsible and mostly practical (except when it comes to herself), Oleander does well working within groups. She is cooperative and definitely a try-hard (how else is she going to get that much needed praise?), and doesn't much like being alone. Her thoughts are too loud and too heavy when alone. Oleander is rather traditional in her way of thinking.

Unadventurous, she can be change averse. She tries to be a model citizen, but that doesn't always work out. Accidentally insensitive, and often overly sensitive herself, she feels caught between two worlds. One that was and one that is, and she isn't really sure where her place is in either. Prone to envy for those who seem secure and comfortable in their lives, Oleander runs the risk of becoming embittered. But there is kindness in her. Tender-hearted and empathetic, there is hope yet she can manage to be a good person instead of a ruined one. Or so she hopes. Maybe she should have stuck with pots. Clay is easy.

HISTORY
FAMILY: Father: Eanar, Wood Craft Mother: Oldana, Potter Brother: Endar, Open
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: (optional)
BIRTHPLACE: Southern Boll
HISTORY: Oleander is craft born, from a small industrious family in Southern Boll. She has faint memories from childhood of fire and smoke and dragons falling from the sky. But they are dark, fog shrouded memories she prefers to forget. Though their scars are marked on her father's flesh. Her childhood was a simple one. Simple food, simple living. Harper lessons with the other hold children before she began her apprenticeship in pottery on her mother's insistence. She apprenticed not under her mother, however, but another woman by the name of Liselotte, who's palms were permanently stained by clay a warm, nutty brown.

She was good too, the clay was soft, and Oleander liked the way it changed beneath the pressure of her palms and fingers. The sound of the pottery wheel spinning soothed her, calming the thing that writhed inside and filled her with tension and doubts. Not that she didn't still have doubts. Oleander always tried hard, and then harder still, desperate for a few kind words, or a nod of acknowledgement. To know she had done it right. And then to hear she had done it even better. That changed when the dragon came. Eggs on the sand, a chance to be more than just a potter.

Her parents sought to break the pattern, encouraging her to say yes to the rider. To go to the Weyr and live out someone elses dreams. And maybe her own. But Oleander had never dreamed of much more than praise and warm meals.

SARANETH

BASICS

NAME: Saraneth
BIRTHDATE Early Summer, 2766
AGE: 1 as of 2767

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 27
HEIGHT: 7.5
WINGSPAN: 72
COLOR: Green
HEX CODE: #7CFF77
FULL APPEARANCE: A strong, powerful green with a commanding presence in every sense of the word, Saraneth is a very imposing figure. She will never be overlooked. Though she is average in her proportions, her colors are stunning. She is a calming green all over, with her wingsails and spotty tail and forelegs a bright, almost white-green. It almost looks like she is covered in flower petals, flowing over her body like a beautiful illusion. The undersides of her sails have dark, brilliant fleck marks of a deep, eternal green. She is powerful and she is brilliant

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Saraneth is a very strong dragon. Physically, mentally, emotionally, she is shored and prepared for whatever may come her way. She seeks to share that protection with others, and to make sure that her rider and her 'Chosen' - her friends and family - may never encounter something that harms them more than absolutely necessary. She seems to be indestructible; she's quick, sturdy, and built to push and push and push, something she does quite well. She does surprisingly well with compulsion, finding creative ways to work around it when it is presented to her.

She is an upholder of law and order, believing that they can bring balance faster than chaos and infighting ever would. She is a warrior at heart; the spirit of battle and protection surrounds her like an aura. That said, she is not single minded and entirely devoted to any one cause; she can think for herself and chooses what fights are worth her time and which should be let go. In that way, she's a critical thinker. One fight she will always pursue is Thread, that enemy which she hates with every ounce of passion in her heart. She wishes to protect all from its horrors that she is able.

VOICE: She has a very deep feminine voice that sounds soothing and pleasant.
