Lidaeth : Gamboling Shrouded Green Hatchling:
~*~Shadows and night mingle in the verdant jungle, curling like smoke over the vines and foliage that make up this tiny greens hide. Mingled in this dark, forbidding surface are rivulets of pale lime, wending their way in watery ribbons through the thicket. Her charming face, however, is her most distinguishing feature. A mask of kelly green twines around her overlarge eyes, fading to mist and darkening her hide along her neckridges. So dark as to be black in certain lights, the hue is repeated daubing each talon in near stygian gloom as though paraded through a drift of soot. Malachite flares from the pinions of her wings, drawing hazy swirls down translucent sails, relieving the penumbral shades that cloak her in dusk. Spars are gilded with absinthe, echoing the blanched garland that winds like creeper tendrils through this frond shrouded wilderness.~*~
Egg: Knee Deep Puddle Egg
~*~Enveloped in murkiness, the ashen hues of this egg seem nondescript, or vague in certain sections, the gossamer strands of milk-white deep and intimately entangled within the stormy puddle to coalesce into water-like texture. Effervescence dubiously spotted here and there, a bubble of duskiness plopping onto the surface every now and again, the egg seems pallid - as if it's there... but then not. Though, indisputably, there are things manifestly incarnate about the ovoid, like the way the color seems to wash over the egg from a light, lusterless tone to a dark, glossy shade, and the way it feels; oddly cool and sedately moist.~*~
Background:
~*~Lidaeth is based on a black footed ferret, a small mammal belonging to the weasel family, having a long, slim body with short legs. The two kinds of ferrets are the domestic ferret and the black-footed ferret. When frightened, both types discharge a strong-smelling secretion from scent glands under the tail. Domestic ferrets are kept as pets or used for hunting rabbits and rats. Owners usually have the scent glands removed in order to alleviate the animals' strong musk smell. The black-footed ferret has a dull yellow coat with brown fur on the head and down the middle of the back. It has a black mask and black fur on the feet, the legs, and end of the tail. Black-footed ferrets are found in the prairies of North America. However, due to the drastically reduced number of prairie dogs, its main food source, the black-footed ferret has become an endangered species. ~*~
Temper:
~*~Lidaeth seems to have a nose for trouble, a quality she shares with her sire, Albanth. Its not that she *means* to get into things, she just honestly cant help herself. Its just all so interesting and new! Your green is blessed, or cursed, depending on how you look at it, with an insatiable curiosity. That new brush your neighbor is so proud of? Youre likely to find it in her couch. The letter from home the boy down the row has? That too. And woe betide you when she discovers shiny objects. Hairpins, buttons, any metal items, jewelry; these she filches and hoards as though they were marks. When confronted with this, shell only protest, << But I was just borrowing them! See, dont they look nice all piled together? >> Its impossible to stay mad at her over these indiscretions, because she really doesnt do it out of spite. Throughout weyrlinghood, and even beyond, Lidaeth has a love of play. Shed much rather play than go to boring old classes. You may find yourself coming under fire for her chasing games in the barracks, particularly as she starts to grow. In all, this period may be trying for you two, though Lidaeths love and support never wavers. And one honest hint of dismay from you can temper her antics. You are the most important factor in her life. The lessons themselves will have to be repeated, and repeated, and repeated. For your wandering soulmate just really isnt interested in learning things on the first pass. Eventually, though, shell get the hang of it all. In Fall, however, her natural skill more than makes up for the wandering of her attention during weyrlinghood. Her tiny form is fast and agile, and she easily will get clumps the larger, slower dragons will miss. Always eager to meet thread, she will turn fussy before a Fall, making sure her straps are just /so/ and you may hear, << Are you sure we have enough stone? >> more than once. She has an innate sense of when to trade off - aware that she cannot last a full Fall. Her instincts are sharp, and combined with your efforts at memorizing charts and formations, will make you a valued pair by any wingleader.~*~
Flights:
~*~When it comes time for her to mate, she will be difficult to classify. Likely none of her proddy cycles will be the same, affecting you in different ways. She may be cheerful and give you no warning, or she may turn sullen and snappish, driving away the males before she takes to the skies. Never will she turn violent, even in the throes of her blooding, instead drinking daintily rather than ripping off heads in gouts of blood. Her small size makes her extremely agile in the air, and she will be difficult to catch, often darting down to bare lengths above the ground in the early stages of the flight. One thing that is always the same, however, occurs after the flight: she will stay a trifle besotted with her lovers, preferring them near her for the next couple of days, and dragging you off to see them, should they happen to live at another weyr. Eventually, draconic memory being what it is, shell forget, but its sheer bliss for that little while she remembers.~*~
Voice:
~*~Your Lidaeths mindvoice is a bit like her personality and yours: it burbles. A light, pleasant -- if slightly furry sounding -- alto, she has many comments that she makes to you, though she doesnt always expect you to answer back. And they are almost always in that light, pleasant, rambling tone. Audibly, she is not shy about expressing herself, though instead of full-throated bugles, she often makes short, chucking ones, and her croons are a trifle rusty sounding, almost having an odd looking quality that is entirely endearing.~*~
Lineage:
~*~ Sire: K'tor's bronze Albanth
Dam: Phennah's gold Auranath
Grandsires: bronze Mnarith, bronze Rnayth
Granddams: gold Samanth, gold Tiarnath ~*~
Pets!
Lil impressed a single green firelizard, that she promptly named Petal. Lidaeth and Petal are often found together, the little 'lizard rarely leaving the dragon's side.
Absinthe colours her forehead, tapers her face, shadows her jawbone and caresses her neck, the rich tinge shading in the contours of her fore and hind limbs, and blushing from under her neck towards her belly. Chartreuse follows in twain with the streaks of absinthe, the bleeding green reaching up her airfoils in strokes that shimmer with argentine silveriness, a silveriness that now follows the line of her back to stroke at the tip of her tail. A gold shimmer coats her and mingles with the richly pigmented greens, but when the hot sun of sunset touches her skin, strange shapes and twirls of copper reach across her, there one moment, gone the next.
The newest additions to her family are Darling and Pouncer, a pair of kittens that K'sem bought from the Beast Craft Hall! Totally adorable, Darling is gray, while his brother Pouncer is all black. Say 'awwwwww!'
Family
Lil's own family, consists of her mother Veniah, father Lial and her 3 older brothers- Fish, Chips and Jaws. But she's found extended family here at Honshu- Garnet, greenrider to Varyth, has been adopted as her Big Sister, and K'sem, brownrider to Tejeth, has become her weyrmate.
Descs!
What does Lil look like?
Lil is a sassy little greenrider, that's for sure. She's got pallid aqua eyes, the skies on a clear day, curtained in faint ash blonde lashes- that same colour outlining her slim eyebrows, curved naturally in playful arcs. Her wild blonde hair sits like a tousled halo- seems never to be tamed, and occaisonally it's decorated with a daisy-crown, or some well placed red bows. With that milky complexion, it's clear she looks after it, that bronzen glow to her cheeks as she now spends most of her time outdoors, taut round high cheek bones and a nose you could sled off- complete with cutesy button end. She's lean and lithe, flexible is the word, but not truly petite, there's a ripple of muscle apparent in her arms and calves. She reaches only a mere inch above 5ft, with perky curves in all the right places- and man, does she know how to use them. Sangria hugs her body like a second skin, these riding leathers tight enough to leave very little to one's imagination. A vest of fuschia-like leather fire wraps her torso, barely; the neckline fully lifts her bosom in a tempestuous melee of perky curves and valleys, beneath the somewhat looser entrappings of her riding jacket. Silver metal studs run along the edge of the curve-hugging jacket, bright against the even-brighter reds that variegate along the leather. A high-necked collar barely meets her chin while the front of the jacket typically hangs open, the buckles and fasteners of a few pockets tinkling as she moves. Trousers of a matching shade of cranberry are practically painted onto her lower body; the only adornment are a series of black X's which lace along the outer thigh, eventually to disappear beneath a pair of black knee-high boots. Lil also wears, hanging at the base of her throat, an elegant necklace of silver, the circular pendant draped upon it was created of the identical metal. Attached on the locket, carved emerald is made delibrate to express a green dragon in flight as the head arches to look aloft, both wings reaching for the sky, the tail lingering behind. Multiple hues, including the dominant verdant, are cast off when light is allowed to pass through the gem. Coupled with this she wears another silver chain, nearly the width of a human hair with a dainty glass pendant depicting a green dragon in flight, at the bottom of the first down-sweep of her wings, body thrusting into the sky. Small beads have been strung along the moonlit chain, each with whorls of green tracing diaphanous color across the clear glass surface. Tiny initials 'JM' give some idea of who the creator of the necklace was.
