Character Name: Laerel (L'rel)
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Preference: He's flexible. ;3
Previous Position: N/A
Current Position: Candidate
Appearance: Laerel is on the tall side of normal, though his build is scarecrowesque. His hight and boniness have led to the nickname beanstalk, though he resents it. Laerel's hair is a deep chocolate brown, oft mistaken for black. He wears it long, reaching about middle of his back. Generally he ties it back at the nape of his neck, though it is not unheard of for him to wear it loose. His eyes are matching in tone, though not color. The dusky-colored eyes are a very deep green, and Laerel thinks of them as his best attribute. The boy wears generally light colors, but if he's in a foul mood, you'd be more likely to find him in all black.
Personality: The candidate is, in a word, reserved. He has a calm exterior and a calm interior. He's fiercely loyal to those he respects and shy around strangers. If you have the good luck to be one of his closest friends, you'll see that the normally stoic candidate is actually very emotional, just incredibally shy. If he does feel the need to speak up about something, he will, shyness be damned. Generally, he doesn't like to ask anyone for help, so if he's stressed, he's more liable to be snippy rather than adit he can't do everything. At the minor hold he grew up in, he was locally famous for being most likely to be a warder or somesuch one day.
History: When Laerel was very young, his mother took him aside and told him that his daddy had been a bronzerider, and that's why he was never around- he was busy leading all those other dragons around! This was a lie. Laerel didn't know it at the time, though, and it had already started the ball rolling for his grudge against the metallic king dragons. Who were they, thinking they were so important that they could ignore their own son? Laerel was, to say the least, irritated.
He was almost thirteen before he found out the truth, that in fact his mother didn't know who his father was. Once upon a gather, they met and never saw eachother again. But the fact that he hadn't been a bronzerider didn't stop Laerel- by now, he had a whole slew of reasons for his grudge, most of them minor, but still. Around then, Laerel realised that it was much easier for him to persuade others to his causes f they respected them. His reservation was a habit by that, and he rarely venturesd past small talk with any of his so-called friends. His isolation caused him to become slightly desperate for companionship, and he leapt at the chance to become a dragonrider nearly two years later.
Laerel was chafing at the senior weyrwoman's rule for a long while before he heard any rumours. The dragonriders were to be respected and looked up to, not ignored like they were anachronisms. ( Save the bronzes, of course. In Laerel's opinion, bronzes were too arrogant to be useful. ) So when he heard about what Sitareh planned to do, he happily jumped on board. He holds the woman in high regard, and wouldn't dream of opposing her.
