[Rider] Rosik of Brown Moth [Approved]

[Zaikt]

Name: Rosik
Age: 19
Nameday: 3557.08.26
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Weyr: Western Weyr
Rider Rank: Wingrider
Previous Rank/Craft: Weyrbrat
Physical Description:
Rosik is a veritable hobgoblin. She's small, at little more than 5'4", and has a constantly bewildered look to her face that makes her seem as though she's overwhelmed--were it not for her riding leathers, it would be easy enough to mistake her for a new Candidate. She's somewhat plain as far as features go, but is hardly bothered by that; she certainly isn't trying to be a stunner, after all. She's overall sharp and bony, and is of a thin enough build to where it would almost be concerning if she didn't have enough muscle on her to properly care for a dragon as big as Moth--before she Impressed, however, was a different story.
Her eyes are a dark blue, and she always appears to be wide-eyed; the fact that her eyebrows are just slightly tilted upwards as well doesn't help, and she finds this to be a bit irritating. She's got a small gap between her front teeth, and her grins are just a touch snaggletoothed. Rosik's dark brown hair isn't very well tended to beyond her initial attempts of the day, and she's given up fighting to get it in anything close to a style--instead, it's usually in some variety of messy ponytail, pulled as far back away from her face as she can manage in order to buy herself time before it all poofs back out again. Her clothes are similarly messy, more out of a lack of folding than any kind of genuine dirt, but she keeps her riding leathers absolutely pristine.
Personality:
Rosik's high energy and boundless confidence make her a force to be reckoned with. She's persistent, latching on to a task and chipping away at it until it's done to the fullest of her ability; however, this does not stop at only work. If she gets it in her head to make friends with someone, nothing short of being yelled at or blatantly chased away will finally make it clear to her that she's not exactly welcome. Even then, that won't put a damper on her day for long. Rosik bounces back quickly, always moving to focus on whatever she decides is most important at the time.
She's excellent for motivation, and works well with others most of the time--Rosik is by no means the type to shirk her work, but once she decides she isn't a fan of someone, she's not likely to change her opinion. She'll privately gripe and moan to Moth about having to be in close proximity to any disliked parties, and will actively attempt to remove herself from the situation as soon as she's done what she needs to. While she's liable to have it out for someone for quite some time, her moods change quickly, meaning that she's not always guaranteed to complain much; from time to time, Rosik can even be genial, if not outright sunny, to those she's not fond of. While it's almost guaranteed that she's still complaining to her dragon throughout the entire process, she knows when to pick her battles, and sometimes, it just really isn't worth pushing things.

Rosik is talkative, to say the least, and finds it easy to strike up conversations with others. Sure, they might find her weird or unorthodox, given her unusual manner of thinking and general...everything, but she isn't bothered about that. Rosik's mind works at a mile a minute, jumping from interest to interest and task to task as fast as she can work herself through it all. As a result, she tends to get somewhat ahead of herself, if not come off as a bit twitchy. Moth has done plenty to soothe this itch to do things, but it hasn't been completely exterminated, and crops up every now and again.
One thing that's proven its ability to hold her attention is her work. Although she can easily be called flighty, Rosik knows when to put her nose to the grindstone, and doesn't ignore the tasks assigned to her--while her methods of doing them may not be exactly orthodox, she still gets consistent results. This has given her enough confidence to even brag a little bit, although she's careful not to get too boisterous. She doesn't need much outside approval to convince her of her worth--Moth is more than enough for that.

Positive Trait List: Energetic, team player, self-assured.
Negative Trait List: Capricious, stubborn, vindictive.

History:
The youngest daughter of a High Reaches transfer Brownrider and a Bluerider from Western, Rosik grew up in the creche, attended to at times by her siblings and parents when the lot of them weren't busy with other duties. She quickly grew into a rambunctious, outgoing young girl, although not without more than her fair share of scrapes and mishaps due to a variety of escapades; she loved going on little adventures through the weyr, trying to find new and interesting places that were secrets to the rest of its inhabitants. Soon enough, she was old enough to become a Candidate, and was all too eager to try her hand as well--by now, several of her siblings had Impressed themselves, and Rosik wanted to see if there was perhaps a dragon for her waiting on the Sands. Thread's return made it all the more important that she Impress, and with the rest of the weyr rushing to mobilize, Rosik didn't want to be left on the ground while her entire family fought and died. She knew what was in her blood, and the thought of being left behind was enough to turn her stomach.

For the entire first Turn that she stood, Rosik was met with nothing. She continued to stand, of course, determined to see this through until the end--but she wouldn't have to wait that long, fortunately. When she was fifteen, her Brown found her, simply settling down next to her in the sand and announcing his presence as softly as possible. She knew his name without him saying it, and that was when it occurred to Rosik that Moth was Hers.
The pair made for enthusiastic weyrlings, excited to prove themselves and more than ready to be of use to Western. Drills and training gave Rosik the discipline she needed to grow and mature, and Moth took to the social structure well--they were popular among their class, and graduated with little difficulty.
Since then, they've been trying to help Western catch up to High Reaches in terms of threadfighting, and have little intention of letting their weyr down.

Other: She's really quite good at whistling, and can carry a tune surprisingly well.

DRAGON
Name: Moth
Age: 4
Color: Brown
Size: 75'
Physical Description:
Moth is a broad Brown, heavily built and beefy all the way around. His head is square and almost rough-hewn, and he appears far more intimidating than his personality would suggest; his eyes are deep-set beneath heavy eye-ridges, and his mouth has something of a downward turn, giving him a permanent scowl. He dwarfs his rider, although he does his best to compress himself into a smaller space in order to be less noticeable--it's almost as if he's not quite comfortable in his own skin, and he certainly does wish he was a little smaller. He thinks he would have made a rather dashing Blue, honestly.
Personality:
Gentle and incredibly cautious, Moth is a surprisingly timid dragon, given his size and stature. He doesn't speak much, preferring feelings and images to outright words--he's nervous that he might say the wrong thing or be misinterpreted, and reasons that providing his feelings straight up is a better way to avoid miscommunication. He's infinitely patient, and has vast reserves of calm that rarely seem to drain, if ever; his temper is nigh unshakable, and even when tested, it's not likely to show. Moth prefers to smother his own negative emotions rather than letting them show, far too worried about what others may think of him to risk outward displays like that.
He's not very outspoken and prefers to avoid notice, but Rosik bolsters him enough to allow his better points to shine. He's a level-headed, supportive soul who will never leave someone in the dust, even if they've proven to be an enemy. His compassion outweighs any grudges he might hold, and he's always willing to give someone a second chance--with very few exceptions. Moth's loyalty is a core part of him, and harming those precious few he's allowed himself to love will ensure that his mercy runs out. He will forever be willing to tear himself apart for these people, and slighting them amounts to an act of war.

Hello again!

Just two quick things this time. How did Rosik react when Thread finally did return? Also, I know we have some dragons that have more on the nose names, we try to steer away from themed ones unless they're part of a clutch. Would you mind changing Moth's name slightly?
