Cricket

"I guess I believe in some rules, and I think rules in general can be useful, but I also think it's all right to stop and and question some of the rules sometimes, if they feel wrong to you."

BIRTHDATE: Spring of 2751
AGE: 25 as of 2776
LOCATION: Fort Weyr
OCCUPATION: Brownrider
WING: Eclipse Wing

APPEARANCE
EYES: Amber
HAIR: Brown, lightly wavy.
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5'6, lean.
FULL APPEARANCE:
Cricket has decided for herself that she looks decidedly ordinary. She has lightly wavy, shoulder length brown hair and warm amber eyes. Across her cheek bones and the bridge of her nose she has a light splattering of freckles. More often than not she can be seen squinting slightly. She is mildly nearsighted, but doesn't have the means to acquire correction to the problem. It doesn't affect her much unless she's reading, which, incidentally, is one of her favorite activities.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Cricket is a curious soul. She's rebellious and booky and has a hundred questions about everything all at once. She doesn't seem capable of thinking instead of speaking sometimes, and has overwhelmed people with how many questions she asks. She's not mean spirited in the slightest, and believes that there's something good to be had in all people, or most people, but convincing her that someone is a lost cause will be hard. That being said, she doesn't like to be told no or have her curiosity suppressed, and most likely won't take well to someone trying to.

There's also an element of nervousness that comes with having so many questions. Her childhood included many an instance of being told she asked too many questions about the wrong things. She often finds herself worrying that she'll say the wrong thing or ask the wrong question and make someone angry. Instances where this occurs affect her greatly, and she withdraws into herself for a time afterward. Silence from Cricket is an odd thing, and should be approached with kindness and gentle concern. She doesn't like making people worry, but sometimes that's out of her control.

HISTORY
FAMILY:
Cadelle (Mother, estranged)
Katydid (Older Sister)
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: A small hold beholden to Fort Weyr.
HISTORY: TW: Abuse/Neglect
Cricket was born to a small family, the only members being her, her older sister, and her mother. As she aged, she considered it to be a bit of a mixed bag when it came to them. Her older sister adored her, and loved her unconditionally. Her mother, well... the same couldn't be said for her. As Cricket grew, it became more and more obvious to her that her mother wasn't fond of her, or her sister. She was prone to be snippy and short tempered with both of them, to the point that Cricket developed unease around her.

Cricket was 8 when her mother handed her and her sister over to the Creche. She had decided at that point that they were both too much trouble to deal with, and she had better things to do with her time. There was a period of time where Cricket was saddened by the loss, as she desperately wanted her mother to like her despite everything, but her sister helped her realize that it was likely for the best that Creche life wasn't bad, anyway. She had Katydid there with her, and bigger, better dreams! She had always been told stories of dragonriding, but had considered them largely out of reach to her. Now, though, it was a bright, shining possibility! And, when she was 15, a searchdragon finally stopped by.

Candidacy required her to leave her sister, something she didn't want to do, but a little encouragement from Katydid, and promise that she would be in touch, solidified her decision to go to Fort.

Ogrith



BASICS
NAME: Ogrith
BIRTHDATE Early Spring 2773
AGE: 3 as of Early Spring 2776

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 49ft
HEIGHT: 12.25ft
WINGSPAN: 73.5ft
COLOR: Brown
HEX CODE: #804f41
FULL APPEARANCE:
On the larger side for a brown, Ogrith is decidedly on the bulkier side. His build is round and pudgy and he is not the most muscular or athletic looking of dragons. He is surprisingly quick in the air and on the ground despite this, quite a bit faster than most would expect of a dragon his size. Ogrith's hide is a deep, dappled brown, the spots clearest and most distinct along his wingsails. He has elaborate markings of a pale brown along his arms, legs and face.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
While large and rather loud, Ogrith is a jovial, friendly brown with a strong sense of duty. This dragon is a defender through and through, one with a good heart in his chest and a good head on his neck. Were he a human, he would be a folk hero. He spares time for those weaker and smaller than him, to assist in any way he can. He makes friends rather easily, and it's easy to get along with him. He makes few enemies, and if it comes to it he does love a good fight. He has a hard time telling people no when they ask a favor of him. If he has the strength to help, then why should he not lend it? It's rude not to.

To his rider, Ogrith is a buddy. A good friend. A dependable companion. Ogrith is there when they need him, or he will try to be if he can't actually fit inside their bedroom anymore. He tries. Ogrith has no problems being muddy, or dirty, or smelly. It's all in a days work, really. Sometimes you just get a little dirty and that's fine! Or so he thinks, as he is not entirely aware that other people may not find him so pleasant to be around if he's a little gross. Overall, he's a really wonderful brown.

Voice: Loud and cheerful, Ogrith is hard to miss. His voice may be deep, but he always seems positive.

Bumblebee


BASICS
NAME: Bumblebee (Nickname: Bee, Bug)
BIRTHDATE Early Summer 2770
AGE: 6 as of Early Summer 2776

APPEARANCE
COLOR: Brown
FULL APPEARANCE:
Not quite a gold, but a queen in her own right, Bumblebee is a very yellow brown. If it weren't for her markings and the fact that her hide isn't shiny, she could very easily be mistaken for a gold. Her face and feet are dark brown, and she has a few spots of faded brown on her body. Her tail is striped with the same dark brown all the way to the tip of her tail fork.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Bumblebee is a chatty firelizard. She likes to be held and does her very best to mimic human speech. She's a friend, first and foremost, even though she might act like a child or a bratty younger sister at times. She likes being helpful, and seems to take great pride in completing tasks successfully. She's not without her quirks, though. She seems particular about people, and categorizes them as friends, enemies, or entertainment.
