Character Name:
Name Pronounciation:[/u] Rhymes with 'Linxy', though that's not a word.... XD
Age:[/u] Sixteen Turns.
Gender:[/u] Female.
Preference:[/u] Straight.
Previous Position:[/u] Um... Holder?
Current Position:[/u] Weyrling.
Marks:[/u] Six.
Pets:[/b] Brown Fire-Lizard Tyrre, Green Fire-Lizard Sjori.
Tyrre (Tie-ray)-
Tyrre is a dark, dark Brown, so dark he's close to black, like chocolate. On his underside and wing membranes, he is black, and across his snout he has a few black speckles.
Tyrre is a calm, laid-back Fire-Lizard, who looks at the world through observant, but seemingly no reactions. Very, very few things get him riled up, not even mealtimes, which is indeed odd for a Fire-Lizard. He's not lazy, exactly, and he can get motivated; when he finds something to do that he's interested in he works quite hard at it. But otherwise, he just lets things happen as they will.
Sjori (S-jorie)-
Sjori is a brilliantly colored Fire-Lizard. She's mostly a light emerald, has lime green wing membranes, and sea green underparts. If you look at her when the sun shines off of her hide, you might hurt your eyes.
Sjori is quite different from her brother. She's fast-paced, always eager to do something, whether or not it's productive. She's hasty in her choices, and actions, though she does mean well - most of the time. She does have a mean streak, and can hold a grudge like you wouldn't believe, but to those she likes she's as sweet as honey and loyal to the death.
Appearance:[/u]
Vinxi is short and skinny (height is five feet, four inches, weight is one hundred twenty-five pounds), with dark little freckles across her face, arms and back, long red-orange hair that makes her look like her head’s on fire, and sparkling greenish-brown eyes.
In a more thorough description, I’ll tell you that she dislikes being teased about her shortness, but will generally ignore it. Her build is skinny-ish, but somewhat lithe, and she’s pretty graceful in her movements and what she does. She hardly ever trips over things, or bumps into people – if she’s watching where she’s going.
Her eyes are a bright, bright sea green, with darker brown speckles in them, just a few. Her freckles, as afore mentioned, are scattered everywhere on her body. She’s one of those people with pale-ish skin who only get freckles, instead of a tan. They’re across her face (cheeks and nose), her back (easily spotted when she wears swimming clothes) and arms (just look when she’s wearing a short-sleeved shirt). She likes her freckles, and often spends more time outside, in the sun, just so she can get more.
She also likes the color of her hair. It’s a bright, bright reddish-orange, and slightly curled at the ends. She keeps it down, most of the time. It’s somewhat long, reaching down just to above her should blades when curled, but if she straightens it (and she rarely does, she likes the curls), it hangs an inch or so below them.
Personality:[/u]
Vinxi is, in a word… energetic. She always seems to have energy, bouncing from one project to another with ease, and though she does finish them she often has several going at once, if any. She never seems to run out of energy, always on the go – like Curious George after twenty cups of coffee and seventy boxes of Fruit Loops, but without the major sugar-rush headache afterwards.
She’s not really… hyper, exactly, just energetic. Occasionally she does tire down, but her batteries are usually recharged fine when she sleeps at night, and she doesn’t always get a full-night’s sleep, because sometimes she’s still doing stuff at a late hour. Though she does get enough sleep to keep her healthy.
She’s a sweet, understanding person with a long, long fuse and a love of making friends, meeting new people, going to new places and trying new things. She’s easy to like, and easier to make friends with, her trust freely given. She’s optimistic until the very end, always looking at the bright side of things, and always trying to have fun whenever she can. She has a sharp mind and a will to learn, a strong loyalty and good will to match, as well as a general calmness and steady mind to keep her from going completely wacko - though she can be a bit naive at times.
She acts much younger than her age is, most of the time, for reasons unknown to anyone but herself. She can be serious and cool if she absolutely, undeniably has to, but she’d rather handle things in her usual happy way.
History:[/u]
(Same as Raixeh's.)
Father - Corlats, Deceased. Previously in the Woodcraft.
Mother - Serliu, Works in a minor Hold as a Harper.
Brother - Raixeh, also a Weyrling.
Raixeh and Vinxi lived a fairly normal life, up until they were twelve. They went to learn with other children from their mother, the Harper of Red Mist Hold, a Hold which was set half into a jungle, near a lake. It was named for the way the sun shown off of the mist that came in off the lake, and the dew in the morning, giving everything a distinctly red-hued look, in many shades.
Vinxi found that she was a fair singer, and could play flute instruments well, like their mother, and Raixeh discovered that his talents were in carving, like their father.
The pair of them were (and still are) very close, and did a lot of things together, including exploring - which is how they found their Fire-Lizards. When they were eleven, a warm afternoon trip to the beach with their parents resulted in finding a small Clutch; Corlats also Impressed a Bronze Fire-Lizard, and Serliu two Greens.
When the day they turned twelve, everything changed.
The four of them, and their Fire-Lizards, went into the jungle for an afternoon, just to explore, and search for the many varieties of flowers, and little creepy crawly critters, the like which some kids are interested in at that age. But, unfortunatly, they weren't to get out of there unscathed.
A pair of wild felines took them by surprise, leaping from a tree and down at Vinxi, who had strayed from the rest of them. When she screamed, both her Fire-Lizards and Raixeh's came from Between to her aid, as well as her father.
Between them, they managed to beat off the felines, but not before Corlats' jugular vein was severed. He died in a matter of minutes, his little Bronze vanishing into the dark, cold, airless space of Between with a terrible cry.
The remainder of family grew closer together, yet somehow a little more distant emotionally. They all went going on through life as well as they could, though it took them a while to get past Corlats' death. During that time, Vinxi grew quieter, more reserved than usual, the songs that Serliu wrote took on a more sorrowful note, and Raixeh's outrageous stunts took a turn for the worst - that was when he broke his leg riding a runner.
After that incident, they discovered that though they thought they had recovered, they hadn't really, and that they had some things to work out...
And then, the Dragonriders came, astounding everyone - Serliu, Raixeh and Vinxi weren't exempt from the shock.
Both Raixeh and Vinxi threw themselves at learning all they could about the past Dragonriders; they hadn't really done more than listen to what they heard in Serliu's ballads and songs. But now, they wanted to know more about these amazing new creatures and people.
Then, possibly what was the highlight of their lives happened (aside from Impressing their Fire-Lizards).
They were Searched.
Position in Family:[/u] Youngest kid, by three and a half minutes.

Dragon:[/u] Green Dindraneth.
Age:[/u] Less than a Turn.
Dragon’s Appearance:[/u]
With unique, dark celadon hide, Dindraneth is sure to stand out. A small patch of fern green covers her throat, as well as her four feet from the ankle joint down. When she spreads her wings, Dindraneth’s fern green wing membranes are apparent, contrasting with her body in flight. Dindraneth is slightly large for a green and very well-proportioned, although her tail is a bit on the short side.
Dragon’s Personality:[/u]
When meeting others, Dindraneth is shy and quiet. She allows her rider to make the first overtures and will gladly hide in the background for the duration of social interactions if possible. Thus, it will be up to her rider to encourage her to engage others and become more comfortable in friendly relationships. When Dindraneth does make friends, she will be extremely loyal. She will often make sacrifices for others, exhibiting a noble spirit beyond most other dragons. Dindraneth is also a quick learner, despite her humility, and she will easily accomplish the tasks required of her by her rider.

RP History:[/u] I've beein Role Playing since I was nine, so that would mean I've been doing it about five and a half years.
Familiarity with Pern:[/u] I've read several books, and listened to some books-on-cassette. The ones I remember right off are Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, Dragondrums, The Dolphins of Pern, and... uh... at least two more, but I don't remember their names... and a collection of short stories.
