Name Pronounced: Ye-yu Character type: Weyrling Rank: None Age: 16 Gender: Female Sexual Preference: Homosexual
Current Location: Arolos Weyr
Appearance:
Yiyu is nothing if not petite. At 4'9", she is tiny. Her hair tumbles like a black waterfall down her back and passed her waist. Her eyes are tilted and a deep, dark brown that itself is almost as dark as her hair.
Personality: Yiyu is timid to a fault. Often lost in a crowd, she will not often speak up for herself and regularly apologizes for more or less existing. More often than not, she feels like everything going wrong is her fault. Stunned at being searched, she regularly prefers to hide out rather than socialize with other Candidates, is somewhat fearful of riders as well as in awe of them, and occasionally simply feels she is not good enough for the Weyr. Though no one has managed to break passed her walls yet, there is always hope that someone, or something, will draw this young woman out of her shell. Even if she can't see that hope herself.
History: Born to a small no-name hold, Yiyu grew up the youngest of four. The only girl in her family, this in part explains her attitude towards the world and herself. Her brothers ranged from rough and tumble to mean, and she had no mother figure to speak of as the poor woman was spent from repeated miscarriages. Her father, a heavy handed, sometimes physically so, man, only allowed her to go to the Weyr because he viewed her as useless to himself. Reaching the Weyr recently, she has come to find herself. She was searched, true, but she herself is still *searching*.
Information about Yiyu's pets
Pet Name: Frost
Pet Type: Blue Firelizard
Appearance: Similar to his clutch-brother, this blue is a uniform blue all over his body save for his muzzle.
Instead of his neck and tail being a different color, they’re the same color as his torso. His eyes
are a bit close together in the front of his face which gives him a bit of a cross-eyed look. His
wings are oh so small to the point that flying is a trouble for him. It’s easier to just sit there
looking like an idiot and have his human pick him up.
Personality: This blue is…. Different. He’s not very verbal and will usually pick only one word and repeat that
over and over. Typically it will be something that he can verbally squawk. He’s one of the
firelizards who are just happy to be here, not thinking about much, not caring about anything. At
mealtimes, he won’t eat until food is almost literally placed into his mouth. He has zero
self-preservation instinct and has to rely on other people and firelizards to keep him from doing
something utterly, utterly stupid.
Appearance: Egg - The Orbs of Fire Egg: At first glance this egg looks almost like it's almost on fire with oranges rushing up the sides and browns and greens in between. It's almost as there's a hint of something powerful inside, just waiting to get out.
If there was ever a dragon that could go unnoticed among other dragons, Mertrith is it. She's neither too big, nor too small. Nor too wide, nor too thin. Her green isn't boring, but nor does it stand out either. Her only distinguishing feature is the dark green stripe down her back.
Personality: Mertrith is a naturally suspicious dragon. From the moment she's hatched she's convinced that others are out to trick her if they and does everything to try not to draw attention to herself to increase this chance. She's also a very curious dragon and will spend the rest of her time investigating and trying to find out about the world around her. She'll be smart and have a better memory for a green which will may or may not be a good thing.
Mertrith's other major quirk will be that she will collect mates. Once she's mated with a male, or just set eyes on them, she'll want to keep them and the list will continue to grow as long as she can convince them to stay.
Weyr of Origin: Arolos
Abilites and weaknesses: She'll be a fast dragon, but what she has in speed she'll lack in stamina.
