Vanetin

You notice a girl in her mid-teens standing quietly before you. She is a bit short for her age, standing five
    feet tall, yet she moves with an unconscious grace, and holds herself with a composure and confidence
    that one would expect to see in someone beyond her years. She has hair flowing halfway down her
    back, which catches your eye, since it appears to be blue on one side, red on the other, and purple
    down the middle! The three colors are braided separately and held with a scarlet ribbon, wisps of hair
    escaping to frame her face. The first thing you notice about her, besides her hair, is her alert,
    expressive brown eyes, high cheeks, and short nose. She doesn't smile very much, (though she doesn't
    frown much either,) so the recipients of her rare smiles feel more special at being awarded with one.
    Often she has a wistful expression on her mobile features, and it is not unusual to find her humming to
    herself a tune no one has ever before heard; but if she notices someone watching her, she will promptly
    stop.
She wears a twisty little knot of brown and black twined with white which signifies her as being a
    Candidate at Fort Weyr. joy! ;)
She wears a simple tunic of rugged brown wherhide, paired with some well-worn black trous of the same
    material. Resting on her belt is a small, useful-looking belt-knife. Sometimes, when making an arm
    gesture, you can glimpse a few bracelets woven from colorful strings about her slender wrists. Looking
    closer, you can see that a few of the same are braided into her hair. She wears a pair of sturdy-looking,
    if well-worn, boots and dark brown socks. Circling her neck is an ever-present silver chain with a
    bronze pendant, that upon closer inspection shows a dragon and a dolphin coming together to form a
    loop.
Vanetin is feeling very Serene. Calm. At Peace. One with the Force.. ;) Mainly because she's staring at
    those beautiful little eggs on the Hatching Grounds at Fort Weyr...
Vanetin looks to be in her early teens.
She is awake and looks alert.

Vanetin grew up in the outskirts of Ruatha Hold, at a small cothold where she and her family raised and
    bred a few runnerbeasts.  Her special one named Crian, and she became an expert rider.  She had
    informal musical training from her parents.  They taught her how to play and read music for a few
    string instruments, and she taught herself how to play a recorder and a keyboard rather competently
    by ear.  She learned her ballads and Teaching songs from the Journeyman Harper who passed through
    from time to time. All of her family will attest that she has a great singing voice.  She write poetry, and
    she has written several songs.  These special traits all rolled up to help her get into the Harperhall as an
    Apprentice.
She was living quite happily at Harperhall, until just recently, when she went obliviously on a picnic,
    conveyed by the courteous Chaille and Llyrth, when all of a sudden she was wrapped up in a ball and
    whisked off to Fort Weyr, where she now waits patiently for the eggs to hatch..
 

Enit
Every inch of this proud royal oak clad body exhudes a commanding presence
    tempered by wisdom. Only earth's hues does he wear, sienna and chocolate
    melding on wingsails' regal sweep and head's knowing lift; fit, his shining body
    held always in taut aristocratic readiness beneath the garments of state formed
    of rich umber and mahogany.  He holds his long tail like a carved scepter of
    golden maple, dappled by the marks of his rank and waved around with regal
    pride.
Enit is 28 days old.

Vanetin's Songbook.
This book has a colorfully dyed leather exterior, showing that the owner has spent many happy (and
    nerve-wracking) hours with it, making it the best it can be. The pages are full of scribbled songs, some
    neat, some jotted quickly between classes. Most of the songs are about dragons, a favorite subject of
    Vanetin's.

Pendant
You lean forward to take a closer look at the pendant that Vanetin wears. This bronze pendant, Vanetin's only jewelry, is very special, given to her by her father shortly before he died. It shows a dragon and a dolphin, coming together to form a loop, handicrafted by her uncle, a smithcrafter. Originally, it was made to be her handfasting gift, but her father wanted her to have it if he was to die before that day.
 

    This is my first --ever-- character on a MOO.  She lives on VirtuaPern, and started off like me, but was carried away with just a few embellishments.. I won't tell you what, though. :P

    She used to live in the Harperhall at Fort Hold, and was an Apprentice there, working on her Journeyman's knot.  But, now she's been Searched for the clutch of thirty-five eggs hardening on Fort Weyr's Hatching Grounds, and she lives in the Candidate's Barracks in Fort Weyr.  :o)  She adores dragons for reasons she can't imagine, they're so majestic, who could not like them?  Unfortunately, some people don't, because Thread has supposedly stopped falling and that was their reason for existence...  Ahh, well, go fig.

The VirtuaPern page is more well-versed on this stuff than I could ever be.

The connection to VirtuaPern is telnet://moo.VirtuaPern.Com:9999 but I /really/ don't suggest using Raw Telnet unless you are very desperate.  If you press the 'Back' button on your browser, you will find at the bottom of the page a link to something called SimpleMu, which is just the very best way that I've found to link onto M**s.
