Dragons
Name: Rynina
Rank: Wanderer/Weyrling
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Family: Illegimate, father's unknown, mother's deceased. Younger half-brother.

Build: Average
Skin: Darkly tanned
Hair: Red, slightly wavy, to waist
Eyes: Gray-gold

Appearance: Rynina is of average height and build. Though not yet full-grown, she tends to look older than she really is. Her skin is a rich, dark olive tan from spending a large amount of time in the sun. Her long hair is bright red and just a little bit wavy. Her eyes are amber gold with flecks of gray in them. Her clothes tend to be a little worse-for-wear; ripped and stitched back together in several places, and often covered with dirt.
Personality: An independant spirit, Rynina has been on her own for most of her life. She's never stayed in one place long enough to really feel like she has a home, and enjoys traveling through the wilderness. She dislikes crowds and bright places, but likes forests. She's very generous with what she's given and always willing to share. Not one to rock the boat, she will more often stay silent around her superiors, rather than speak up and risk getting in trouble.
Past: Rynina's mother was the daughter of a lord holder, and still unmarried when she was pregnant with Rynina. She rushed to marry the first suitor who would have her, but it was fairly obvious to everyone that Rynina was an illegitimate child. She was fostered off for most of her life and never saw much of her mother or stepfather, especially after her half-brother was born. She ran away after yet another change of foster homes, and it wasn't until she was miles away that she heard that her mother had died. She decided not to bother going back.

Name: Atryn
Rank: Hold child/Weyrling
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Family: Lives with mother, father's disappeared. One older sister, four younger siblings.

Build: Skinny
Skin: Dark brown
Hair: Sky Blue (dyed), loose curls, very long
Eyes: Amber

Appearance: Atryn makes a rather bizarre appearance. She's very tall with a skinny build. Contrary to her very dark, brown skin, her hair has been died a light, sky blue color, and hangs in loose curls almost to the ground. Her eyes are a clear, golden amber color. She dresses in bright, clashing colors that rarely match, and are wierdly styled. She's fairly pretty and capable of turning quite a few heads, but it's more because of her bizarre appearance and behavior than her looks.
Personality: Atryn has a very bubbly and cheerful personality. Kind and friendly, she's always willing to help others, but at the same time, she's very independant and doesn't like anyone trying to help her out with her own problems. She likes to talk, but rarely says much of real value, she really just loves to chatter and doesn't listen as often as she should. She actually volunteers very little about herself, most of what people know about her comes from opinions and hearsay.
Past: Atryn's father walked away one day several years ago and never came back. Formerly on good terms with him, she grew to despise him. She now lives with her single mother and her younger siblings. Her older sister has already married and moved out. She has been close friends with Laraz for most of her life, though lately, she's been hoping for something a little more than friendship with him...

Dragon: Purple Atizo'Fask
Name: Laraz
Rank: Smith Apprentice/Weyrling
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Family: Grandfather is a Master in the smith guild. Parents are deceased. Illegitimate, several half-siblings on both sides.

Build: Muscular
Skin: Fair with freckles
Hair: Dark blond, to ears, wavy
Eyes: Light brown

Appearance: Laraz certainly looks the part of a blacksmith. Though very small for his age, he's sturdy and muscular. He's also very handsome. His skin is creamy fair with a spattering of freckles, and his dark blond hair is cut short, just past his ears. His eyes are a light brown that look almost reddish. He dresses simply, in old clothes when he's working, though he has some finer outfits for gathers and special events.
Personality: Goodnatured and protective of his friends, he's loyal and trustworthy. A bit quiet, but not shy, and very friendly. He tends to be more like a big brother to Atryn, (Though he's actually only a year older) and seems oblivious to her attentions.
Past: Laraz's parents both died of an illness in the Smithcrafthall, after which Laraz and two of his half-siblings were sent to live with their grandfather, while their other siblings went to various foster homes. His grandfather, a master in the smith hall, instantly took a liking to him and took him up as his apprentice. Laraz enjoys the smith guild, but still isn't sure if it's what he wants to be doing for the rest of his life.
