NAME: D'vir
GENDER: Female
PRONOUNS: She/her/hers

BIRTHDATE: Spring 2746
AGE: 23 as of 2769
LOCATION: Semaca Weyr
OCCUPATION: Dragonrider
WING: Chopin

APPEARANCE
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Red, worn curly and long
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5’10, muscular and somewhat flat-chested
PLAY-BY: Anastasia (Cinderella)
FULL APPEARANCE: Dhavir is not beautiful by most people’s definition of the term. There is no poetry in her blunt, round, uneven features and her build is too broad and well-muscled to fit the traditional standard of femininity. She has red curls and pale skin and eyes of an entirely ordinary brown. She is usually squinting due to uncorrected vision problems and is prone to slouching, hunching and fidgeting when nobody reminds her to watch her posture. She dresses in traditional clothes, mostly dresses made with simple fabrics in modest cuts. She rarely wears jewelry and feels ill at ease in the pants and boots favored by much of the weyr.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Dhavir is the type of girl who never stays up past curfew, who never follows strangers into dark woods alone at night, who never adds too much spice to her wherry or drinks more than a single cup of wine at festivals. She is cautious and rule-abiding. She does her chores without complaint and tries to be useful and responsible. If only she was a little prettier, Dhavir would truly be the type of daughter conservative holders dream of.

Dhavir likes rules and routines. They make her feel safe. She’s prone to jumping at shadows and new experiences and strange happenings make her deeply nervous. Given the choice, she’d gladly sit in her quiet corner with her weaving forever. Even were she not so afraid of all the things that could go wrong, Dhavir would tend towards moderation in her personal habits. She likes her plain clothes and her bland food and her simple chores.

Dhavir can be pulled along, however, for the adventure. She admires bold people and how bravely they insist on being themselves. She doesn’t want to see them get hurt. She’ll be the voice of caution, urging her friends to stop and think before disaster strikes. Can’t they be brave and adventurous from home, where it’s safe?

HISTORY
Mild TW: Sexism
FAMILY:
Mother: Dhagmar
Father: Vladivir
Several younger sisters
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: A cothold beholden to Ruatha
HISTORY: Dhavir’s parents were ambitious people, with high hopes for the future. They left their small cothold when they were young to found a settlement of their own. They watched it grow mildly prosperous. All they hoped for, above all else, was a son to pass it on to.

Dhavir was the first disappointment, a girl for their firstborn in place of their longed for male heir. She wasn’t beautiful or particularly smart or possessed of unusual talents. She did her chores and watched over her younger sisters and contributed little of use to her family’s legacy.

But something had to be done with her, so when she turned 18, Dhavir’s parents began to try to marry her off. It went poorly. She wasn’t pretty or charming and her family cothold wasn’t wealthy enough to make up for her personal deficits. The sorts of men Dhavir’s parents wanted for her inevitably chose someone else and as the turns passed, Dhavir’s parents began to fear they would have to keep her forever.

And then the Searchdragons came and found DHAVIR of all people a suitable candidate. Her parents were thrilled to finally have a use for their disappointing daughter and packed her bags and sent her off with a smile, waving off Dhavir’s concerns. Dhavir went somewhat more reluctantly. She wanted to make her family proud and bring them honor but...thread and dragons? Really? She wasn’t that type of girl.

CAINHURTH


BASICS
NAME: Cainhurth
BIRTHDATE Early Spring 2770
AGE: 0 as of 2770

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 36 ft
HEIGHT: 9 ft
WINGSPAN: 54 ft
COLOR: Blue
HEX CODE: #68dfff
FULL APPEARANCE:
An average sized, and very handsome, blue. Cainhurth is a perfect example of a blue. He is well built, fast, and holds his head very high. He is a deep, beautiful jewel blue all over. His face is a bright cyan, and his markings are a softer, more pale-cornflower blue. There is a circle on his chest, with large bands of 'lace' going out from his chest and down his sides. There are the same bands and dots of colors on his forelegs. His spines are also a pale blue. His wings have long streaks of color on them, in an almost strange lightning look.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
On the surface, Cainhurth is the pinnacle of a knight. He is incredibly devoted to his duty, and is a gentleman through and through. He addresses those with "miss" or "ma'am", or "sir". He has a very strong moral code, to do good and to punish those who he considers vile. That does not mean he will never do something that is terrible, but he does see himself as this executioner of the law, the bastion of law and order. He finds bronzes and golds to be vile, and his rider will have to keep him from starting fights, or keep them from getting the pair exiled.

To his rider, Cainhurth explicitly believes them to be comrades-in-arms. They both are good, they are a proper pair. There is a duty to be done, and they must do something good. He may be at odds with them if they do not see the metallic order the same way he does, but he is hardly a revolutionary. There is a violent anger in him, directed only at the metallics, and he will see them as something never good. No good can ever come from something that shines.

Voice: If someone could sound like a knight from a far-away land, it would be Cainhurth

Why me?: Time to destroy Dhavir's life.
