Recruitment: ^^ I'm old-skool Ponaa
Email: shirachatool@hotmail.com
Character
Name: Gaelle
Rank: Weyrwoman
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Origin: Ponaa Weyr
Appearance: From tip to toe, Gaelle looks like nothing but trouble. Bright red-orange hair and glittering grey eyes bespeak her famous ancestry, and her smirky smile is never out of place on her sun tanned face. She has an athletic build, with an extra little pudge around her hips and stomach, a result of a fabulous sweet tooth. With smooth skin and a grin that could light up the darkest weyr, Gaelle is a cute, sassy girl, and worse, she knows it.
Gaelle prefers to wear as few clothes as possible without being completely nude. Preferring freedom to the restriction of clothing, it is not uncommon to find her in tank tops and thin, breezy pants. As for the color, as long as it is present, it doesn't matter which one the fabric contains. However, after her impression, she has made a distict stride towards golds and greens in her outfits.
Family: Coming up in the Weyr is synonomous with having a large family and no family at the same time. She was raised, like all other weyr children, by a collection of nurses, harpers, and old nannies. However, she rarely felt afraid or lonely. There were always other children to play with, and when she got bored, Gaelle would create her own diversions. Her biological parents are both riders, brown and green, and though she knows of them, she doesn't know them very well personally. Both parents were exceptionally excited when she Impressed her gold.
The interesting story is not in her immediate family, but in her ancestral family. Gaelle is the great-times-five-granddaughter of Tujal and I'slen, weyrleaders in the previous century. In their time, Dragonkind grew great. Gaelle loves and respects the memories of her ancestors, and tends to be amazed by her own good fortune in having their legacies in her past.
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Personality: Gaelle is a girl after her own great-times-five-grandmother's heart. Mischeivous, intense, and fiery are all qualities the two women share. Nothing pleases Gaelle more than a good prank pulled off according to plan. When she was younger, if boredom occured to her, it was common for belongings to go missing; Gaelle was very clever at the Hiding Game. She loves to play and have fun.
However, she also inherited the quality of workmanship from I'slen. She appreciates doing her own work, and even more, the feeling of a job well done. Gaelle derives satisfaction from her work as a weyrling, and she would never give up working with Aliath for anything in the world.
An incredibly independent and self-sufficient person, Gaelle a few male companions, but none ever seemed to work out. Gaelle is simply not a person easy to please, and with her free-spirited outlook on life, relationships just don't seem to work out. But she doesn't view it as being "alone"; she's simply having her fun.
Like all people, however, Gaelle does have her shortcomings. She can come off as obnoxious and hyperactive, especially with all her antics in the weyr, and even more so with Aliath behind her. The gold just seems to "egg" Gaelle on, and even though they never cause any lasting damage, they can be a trifle irritating to more serious-minded people.
Hobbies/Skills: Gaelle's strongest abilities are with coordinating the dragons and the people of the Weyr. She is a planner, which explains both why her pranks usually succeed, and why she always seems to talk her way out of any trouble. But her organizational skills have been key in saving space, time, and energy for the Weyr.
Pets: One gold dragon is enough, thank you!
History: Gaelle was born and bred in the Weyr, and definitely belongs there. She comes from a long line of significant riders, as well as a few not as well known. As a baby, she was coddled and loved by the creche nurses, and by others as she aged and learned. She was a clever child who soaked up knowledge like a sponge. Of course, it also meant that she learned bad habits as well as good ones, and this made her a constant rose with thorns.
As she grew, Gaelle came to be a fun-loving and self-actualized young girl. She enjoyed making friends, seeing Impressions, and doing her share in the Weyr. Like most Weyrbred, she came to learn that living in the Weyr was not all fun and games, and there was plenty of work to be done. Gaelle chipped in, and as she became a teenager, she began organizing work crews of the younger Weyrbred children so work could get done faster. She learned many good habits from her time before Impression.
She kissed her first boy at age 14, and was deeply in love for about a week. After that short time, she grew tired and bored of the young man and his desire to be constantly at her side. Gaelle ran the boy off and continued her work and life as before. It was easy for her to flit in and out of social groups, never really staying in one clique too long. Better satisfaction was found for her in getting to know everyone and figuring out everyone's best place in the Weyr.
When she was 16, she Impressed Aliath. It was her second standing, and even though the prior clutch had no gold, she was sad not to have Impressed a green there. Instead, she stood scratching her stomach and sides against the stiff fabric of the candidate's robe, and shuffling her feet in the hot sand, trying not to be discouraged. The gold egg on the sands cracked, and like everyone else, her eyes rose to observe the break. A gold rolled out onto the sands, appearing rather comical, and yet, awe-inspiring in the same moment. The gold, dripping with fluids and dirty with sand, picked herself up and approached the candidates vying for her attention. She looked over the candidate girls, and seemed to be sizing them all up. Just when she seemed to choose an exotic brunette beauty from a distant hold, Aliath's head swung to see Gaelle. Gaelle, sweating from the heat of the sands, barely noticed when a sweatdrop rolled into her eye as she locked gazes with the baby gold dragon. Finally, she spoke. I am Aliath. You're all wet too!
Gaelle, who had been sweating rather profusely, nodded. "I'm Gaelle," she said, as she caught her breath. The melding of the two minds into one finished the ages old ceremony between woman and gold, and the pair is, of course, inseparable.
Dragon
Name: Aliath
Age: 2
Color: Gold
Clutch:
Appearance: Aliath is a sunny shade of gold. She has orange-gold streaks on her haunches. Her build is small, but thick.
Personality: Aliath, like most dragons, is a simplified version of her rider. She adores flying, having fun, and being with her brothers and sisters. Also like her rider, she knows when to settle down to work and business. She tends to "egg" Gaelle on when she's being ornery.
History: When Aliath caught a closer glimpse of Gaelle, she knew that was who she belonged with. After a fun and love filled evening after the hatching, the pair settled right into their work together as weyrlings. They were always pretty quick to pick up new concepts, and they cottoned on to Weyrwoman duties with enthusiasm. They show the makings to be great Weyrwoman and Queen.
