BASICS
RETIRE INFO: Adopt
NAME: Zhuli
GENDER: Female
PRONOUNS: She/her/hers
ORIENTATION: Demisexual

BIRTHDATE: Late Summer 2737
AGE: 39 as of 2776
LOCATION: High Reaches Weyr
OCCUPATION: Wherhandler, secretary for an underground criminal network
WING: Windsong

APPEARANCE
EYES: Slate grey
HAIR: Dark brown
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5'5", slender
PLAY-BY: Zhu Li, Legend of Korra
FULL APPEARANCE: Zhuli looks perpetually unimpressed. Whoever you are, whatever craziness is happening, she looks at you with the same stoic, apathetic expression. Her voice is equally dry and unemotional. She favors conservative clothes and wears her ordinary brown hair in a prim bun. She wears a pair of thin, wire rimmed glasses and her features and build are utterly unremarkable. She's the sort of woman who is easily overlooked and one gets the sense that's just the way she likes it.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Zhuli is not and doesn't wish to be in charge. Of anything. She's happiest in the background, as the hard-working, loyal assistant to a visionary. Usually that visionary is Majima or Zhusk and she executes their orders without question or hesitation. She's an intelligent woman with a wide range of skills, although few see it at first because she rarely demands recognition. She is very dedicated to the people who earn her allegiance but doesn't much care about everyone else.

Zhuli rarely seems to care or get scared or feel much of anything. She's polite and respectful and obedient but keeps her cards very close to the chest and is a bit of an enigma. It's hard to know for sure what she really thinks about much of anything because she doesn't tell.

That said- Zhuli is not actually a robot. Just because she doesn't speak up for herself very often doesn't mean she doesn't have feelings or want to be appreciated, especially by the people she works for. She doesn't mind pulling her weight but she doesn't like being taken for granted either and while she can be pushed farther than most, she does have a breaking point.

HISTORY
FAMILY:
Mother: Zhuna of Green Koreth, Deceased
Father: Nali of Blue Imith, Deceased
Several half-siblings
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: High Reaches Weyr
HISTORY:
TW: Emotional neglect
Zhuli was born to a greenrider and a bluerider at High Reaches. She was raised in the creche, where she was expected to be nothing but another disposable body in Golre's armies. And mostly she complied without complaint. She didn't want to be trouble. She wanted to be a good child. Maybe then someone would love her and care about her.

They never did. Instead she entered candidacy, where she was still just another anonymous face probably fated for an inglorious end. But maybe her dragon would love her. The dragon didn't come and she kept getting older and older. And then one day- a relatively new brownhandler walked up to her out of the blue and told her she didn't really want to be a dragonrider anyway. Life was better for wherhandlers.

It was more and better advice than most people bothered giving Zhuli. So she took it and entered wher candidacy, which quickly paid off as she found herself paired with a blue named Zhusk. It was an entirely different world, where no handler was disposable and Golre's word was not law. With . Zhusk's agreement, Zhuli quickly attached herself to Majima, who had shown her the right way, determined to make herself indispensable. When she found out about his not-too-well-hidden criminal empire, she took it upon herself to organize the paperwork and keep the books, because somebody had to, and she was loyal and discreet and utterly trustworthy.

She continued to follow him even after Golre fell. She doesn't know the full scope of his ambitions and doesn't need to. He is her boss and she'll follow his lead.

ZHUSK

Zhuli- DO THE THING!

BASICS
NAME: Zhusk
BIRTHDATE Early Winter 2760
AGE: 7 as of 2767

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 13 ft
HEIGHT: 5 ft
COLOR: Blue
HEX CODE: #08457D
FULL APPEARANCE: Zhusk is a flashy, shiny, almost garish blue wher. He seems to sparkle in the right light, his hide covered with big, bold markings that resemble some precious gem. Despite being of no more than average size, he rarely fails to make an impression. He cares himself with confidence but can often be seen doing odd things like attempting to stand on his head without any sense of shame.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Zhusk is a wher of big ideas. He always has some scheme cooking in his brain and is clever and creative. Sometimes a bit too much so. He's smart enough to be entirely capable of deluding himself, something in ridiculous ways, and unselfconscious enough not to care if he makes a fool of himself. He's extroverted, assertive, charismatic and frankly a bit weird but so confident in his weirdness it's often easiest just to go along with it.

All the quirky strangeness makes it easy to miss that Zhusk has a dark side. He's extremely self-centered, rarely even thinking of the rest of the world outside himself and sometimes Zhuli. He can be manipulative and immoral, willing to do what it takes to get ahead. Which isn't to say he doesn't have a conscious or his limits. He does...which can surprise even him when they're reached. But a minor crime spree or a few white lies? All fair game if it serves Zhusk's interests.

LISK

Haha! I bit you!

BASICS
NAME: Lisk
BIRTHDATE Late Summer 2769
AGE: 0 as of 2769

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 13 ft
HEIGHT: 4.5 ft
COLOR: Blue
HEX CODE: #c6ccd3
FULL APPEARANCE: Lisk is a rather little wher, with stubby legs and a long, heavy tail. He's compact, bulky for his size. His hide is a soft, denim sort of blue that lightens to a pale sky blue on his underside and on his eyeridges. He has some darker navy mottling on his back, and more obvious splotches on his upper tail. All over, he has some lighter spots, making him almost look like he has pebbly scales, though this is no more than an illusion.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Lisk is a wher who marches insistently to the beat of his own drum—exemplefied by his own slightly unconventional naming choices. He has never met a rule he won't break, and often tends to view them as a challenge: how many rules can he break at one time? He especially has a tendency to refuse to obey any orders, and to bite, which he thinks is just a hilarious joke. He considers nothing to be either taboo or sacred, and he doesn't care a whit for how other people think about him.

Though no more well spoken than any wher, he has a rather large vocabulary. He's bright, but almost never actually applies himself to much beyond causing mischief or playing—an activity he loves and has seemingly boundless energy for. He's endlessly creative, coming up with games and stories, and sometimes seems to live within his own head. He can be a deep thinker, pondering the meaning of life and connections to other living things, but this rarely actually manifests into action. Still, when he's not busy intentionally being a pain, he can actually be rather sweet. He cares, even if he rarely does a good job of showing it.

Voice: Lisk has the high-pitched voice of a young boy, frequently filled with mischief.

Why me?: Because just... good luck with the chaos.
