Name: Canzena
Age: 26
Nameday: 3549.11.27
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Weyr: High Reaches Weyr
Rider Rank: Wingrider
Previous Rank/Craft: Weyrbrat (did study what weavercraft she could at the weyr)
Physical Description: Canzena has golden blonde hair, that seems as bright as the sun. It goes down to chest level, gentle curls giving her hair some bounce. She usually wears her hair down, unless she is riding or doing something that having her hair down could cause injury, in which case it is usually done in a braid. She has sapphire blue eyes that hold a light to them, giving her even more beauty. This young woman is only 4'11 and 115 lbs, but is in pretty decent shape. She wears pretty nice looking clothing, having an eye for fashion.
Personality: Canzena is a girl that has a lot of energy, she has no trouble transitioning from one thing to another with a lot of gusto. She loves being active and getting to interact with as many people as she can. From the beginning of her day to the end, this girl seems to go non stop, never seeming to slow down at all. While other people may grow tired as the day wears on, she seems to be as fresh as a daisy, without slowing down. The only time she seems quiet is when she is sleeping and even then she is on the go in her dreams. This abundance of energy, unfortunately, leads to her being very impatient. She hates having to wait for things, whether it is for a surprise or waiting until a lecture is over. Sometimes she will ask someone to hurry up, so she can go do something more fun. Or sneak a peek at a surprise, because she just cannot wait until it is time to open it. It makes giving her surprises or having her listen to discussions quite a headache. She can also be pushy, if she thinks someone is being too slow or can't keep up with her. Surely, it shouldn't take that long to do that chore or to get to the mess hall.

Along with her high energy, Canzena has a zest for adventure, she loves being out there. She loves going new places and trying new things, she feels it is what makes life worth living. After all, sitting around doing nothing is boring, life is about living. She wants to be out there having a grand adventure, not doing the same thing day in and day out. It is why she loves fashion so much, because it is an adventure trying out new designs and ways of doing things. Unfortunately, her adventurous spirit also leads her into trouble because she is impulsive. A plan, who needs one of those when she can just dive head first into adventure. She is one to act now and ask questions later, no need to wait when you can just learn on the fly. When a volunteer is asked for, she is one of the first people to have her hand raised. Consequences be darned, she is going to do what she is going to do, and she doesn't care if it gets her hurt. It takes others to remind her that she isn't the only one affected by her rash decisions. Her impulsiveness can get her hurt if she rushes into danger without being prepared. Or it could get those around her hurt, when they go along with her or try to stop her from doing something stupid.

She is also very cheerful, nothing seems to rain on her parade at all. She is one of those people who believe that things will always turn out alright in the end. She likes enjoying the day, feeling that any negative can be turned into a positive. Her cheerfulness can be infectious, since she likes wearing a smile on her face most of the time. She is also very sweet, wanting to bring smiles to the faces of others. In anyway that she can, she will try to bring some sunshine into the lives of those around her. That just seems to make her more cheerful, seeing others having a good time and happy. Behind all her cheer and sweetness though, she is secretive too. Having her father leave her and her mother, she hides how it hurts when people do not treat her or others well, much like her father did. She will think of ways to make them pay for it, but she never carries through with it. She keeps this side of her hidden, not wanting others to know when she is hurt. She doesn't like others to find out about her past, unless they are close to her. She sometimes worries that she isn't good enough for friendship or love, she hides these concerns though. While her cheerfulness is real, she tries to keep the negative emotions hidden, for fear it will scare others off. Underneath all of her sweetness, she is afraid of being abandoned.
Positive Trait List Energetic, cheerful, Adventurous, Sweet
Negative Trait List Impatient, Impulsive, Secretive, Insecure, Pushy
History: Canzena was the result of a gold flight at High Reaches, between a brown rider and the gold rider that had been in flight. When her father seemed to stick around for the first five years of her life, she thought the man loved her and her mother. However, one day he disappeared and she didn't know where he had gone. Her mother told her that he died, but the young girl couldn't believe a man so strong could die so easily. However, she just tried to go about her life, staying close to her mother. When she was older, her mother finally did admit to her that her father left them, which hurt the poor girl. However, when others seemed to pity her, when they found out, the young girl began to hide her hurt about it. Plus, part of her hoped her father would come riding back into her life, proving her still cared. She worried sometimes she wasn't worth it and that is why he didn't stay, but she kept that worry to herself.

When she was old enough, she fell in love with clothing and how beautiful it could be. So she tried to learn all she could from any of the weavercraft members that came into the Weyr. This kept her busy until she was old enough to stand as a candidate, having always wanted to be a rider. While she stood for the next several turns, she didn't give up hope that she would find her soulmate. She also continued to learn what she could about the weavercraft when she could. She worried that she would age out and have to find some other way to be useful in the Weyr. She knew she didn't have much time before aging out, however her world soon changed.

When the double clutch happened, she was on the sands, watching as the babies came out of their eggs. She loved watching each one and seeing what personalities they had. Then a blue began to make his way through all the candidates, seeming to be examining them all. When he got to her, he sat down and stared up at her with rainbow eyes.

I knew you were here, CanzenaMine. And you are worth more than you know. Let your Frieth show you how much you matter, you always have,the blue's voice came into her mind. She couldn't help but feel a bit of peace descend on her from the blue, her blue. She headed off to feed him some food, to start their lives together. She knew now that when he had been looking at the others, he had been giving them some encouragement, before coming to her. The next turn would find them doing their best in their lessons as weyrlings.
Other: She still looks out for her father, hoping she can find him one day.

DRAGON
Name: Frieth
Age: 1 Turn
Origin of Name: Frieth gets his name from David Friedman, the person who composed the song "Out of Thin Air" for the movie Aladdin and the King of Thieves.
Inspiration: "Out of Thin Air" was the second song featured in the third movie of the Aladdin series, Aladdin and the King of Thieves (which came out in 1996). Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding is crashed by the Forty Thieves,who are trying to obtain a special staff which houses a powerful oracle. This oracle can answer one question for any individual and it can be anything they might want to know. Knowing of this power, it makes Aladdin begin to think of his past. The Oracle hints to him that all of his questions about his past can be answered by his father, who is actually still alive, much to Aladdin's surprise. The song is one where Jasmine tries to convince Aladdin to find out about his father, that she can wait for him to return. Also, it is to remind him that he is special and didn't just come out of Thin Air. Aladdin tries to counter that his father was never there to teach him who he is, like Jasmine had her's. By the end of the song, Aladdin is convinced to find out about his father, knowing Jasmine will wait for him. It is a beautiful love song, while also being a song that shows we are sometimes more than we realize.
Color: Blue
Size: 33'
Physical Description: Frieth is a max size blue, so he isn't as fast or graceful as some other dragons of his color. He is decent in those departments, but he is better in the realm of stamina, having a higher level than many of his fellow blues. He also is pretty good in strength, though that isn't as good as the bigger colors. His proportions are fine for his size, all in the normal range.
Personality: Frieth is a dragon who is always trying to encourage others. He believes that everyone has the potential of greatness, even if it may not seem it. He tries to spot that potential in others and does is best to say what he thinks will coax it out. He loves to cheer people on, letting them know that they will always have someone in their corner for them. He is a bright beacon of hope, he doesn't want anyone to feel like they aren't good enough. Of course, in his eyes, even someone who appears to be tough skinned can have a light that they try to hide. He is also a calm dragon, that likes to bring comfort to others. He will try to give them a wing to cry under or a nuzzle to let them know everything will be okay. He tries not to let things bother him, knowing that it doesn't do anyone any good. Sure, he can get upset, but he tries not to dwell in it for long.

Unfortunately, this sometimes blinds the dragon to the negative about a person. He can be so focused on the positive, that he can't always see when someone is lying to him or wanting to hurt him. No, they couldn't possibly do that to him, that wouldn't be nice at all. They are all good people, they just need to have someone in their corner. He can be naive when it comes to the darker side of people and situations. It will take others to make sure that he doesn't get hurt too badly by the actions of others who would use him for their own gain. He also has a tendency to forget about personal space, never shying away from being close and personal. Surely, no one minds a little nuzzling here or a wing drapped over them there, right? He forgets sometimes that some people prefer their space. And it doesn't matter his size, he will show all the affection in the world. Plus, he has a tendency to stick his nose into everyone's business and be meddlesome. Come now, how is he supposed to help, if he doesn't know what is going on? So he tends to try and help people, even when they do not wish to be helped.

This is also a dragon who likes to have a game plan, there is no point in running into trouble. No, the less likely it is for himself or others to get hurt, the better it is. He likes to be effective when it comes to everything he does. So he will try to make sure that he has several plans at the ready, in case one of them goes wrong. Unfortunately, this also leads to the issue of him being indecisive when it comes to decisions. It takes him awhile to pick a plan and stick to it. After all, they are all good ones, but surely one is better for the situation than another. It can lead to people having to wait for him to act, because he doesn't want to make the wrong choice.
Additional Notes: Frieth has pretty long flames, liking to be effective when it comes to fighting Thread. In flight, he will chase after any green, to determine her potential. One day, he hopes to settle down with the dragon(s) that make his hearts beat with all the love he can give. He is also search sensitive, so he will be helping with finding more candidates.

Why Me: From the moment he hatched out of his shell, he knew that she was his. He knew she was a wonderful person, but knew she secretly doubted herself. No more, he would be her biggest cheerleader, reminding her that she has one person always in her corner. She is good enough and he will help her see that, he loves her too much for her to dwell in the shadows of doubt. Plus, he knows how she likes to rush head long into things, maybe he can bring a sense of calm and peace. And maybe she can help him learn to be more decisive in his choices, so he doesn't take forever to act on things. He loves her cheerfulness and knows together they can help a lot of people. They both want to help people feel and be their best, including each other. He liked the way she cared about others, just like he does, and want to brighten people's day. Maybe one day, Frieth will get to help his rider find her father. If not, he will always have her back and be her biggest fan. He knows she will do the same for him and help open his eyes more to the adventure of the world around them.

Overall, they do read well, but I have some feedback for you.

1. 94 lbs is the very low end of the "normal" weight for 4'11" and she's a rider - she has muscle. I would edge that up a bit. 2. It's not clear to me how her flaws are actually flaws. In what respect do they hamper her, or irritate others? 3. Frieth cannot "know what to say to bring it out". He can do his best, and he can be pretty good at it, but ultimately it will be up to the individual whether he got it right or wrong. 4. He cannot exude a reassuring aura the way a gold can - he can be a calming personality. I say this because we will occasionally add things to clutch dragonets, and such traits will only ever appear in that manner. I don't at all mind if he has had good success in calming other dragons, but the way it's written at present leads one to assume it's a power. 5. Designer is not a craft. She would need to be a weaver, with an aim to one day design clothing.

Changes made to weight and wording on Frieth. Also hopefully made it more clear how some of her flaws can cause issues. I see it as people can get hurt, because of trying to help her. Or herself getting hurt, not to mention being impatient can frustrate people when she is pushing them to get finished. And hiding part of herself could very well frustrate people, since they would want to get to know all of her, not just the sunny parts. Changed her to a weyrbrat that learned what of the craft she could at the Weyr (since I had thought it was like going to college, but I see I was incorrect, so just changed craft). Hope all is good now smile
