<<<PERSONA>>> Name- Damiran Age- 14 Gender- Male Rank- Candidate Description- Damiran hasn't come into his growth yet, so the shaggy-haired boy still stands a bit shorter than his friend Kyeli, which bothers him (but he hasn't mentioned it to her; what would be the point?). Though adventurous at heart, he's also a bit shy and scholarly, preferring stories to actually going out there and getting dirty (or into real trouble-- he hates getting into trouble). History- Damiran's just a Holder boy, one of five children of a cotholder near High Reaches Hold. A little bit of a disappointment to his parents after his more enthusiastic, active brothers and sisters, they nevertheless harbored a hope that he'd be noticed by one of the Crafters and bring honor to the family that way. They were definitely not expecting him to be Searched (neither was he, for that matter), and are quite dubious about it, but let him go because it's their duty to the Weyr. They _don't_ know he's been taken to Raek instead; they think he's at High Reaches. Since they're keeping in touch via Kyeli's firelizards and (more reliably) via Tyani, they're not liable to notice until it's too late.It was because of Kyeli's mother that he became friends with her in the first place, though after that first hesitant introduction they've found they get along very well indeed. It's too soon for their relationship to have turned into anything more than friendship (and) neither's really thought about the other that way anyway). Skills- Familiar with various bits of Holder lore about farming and animal-tending, Damiran's not really fluent with any of it. He's much better at reading and writing, and keeping marginal records for his family (which has been giving them a little bit of an edge in recent turns), and has mostly been lending his talents to writing notes and other such things to those in the Hold who need them. He's far from athletic (though a little bit stocky-- not a willowy scholar, for sometimes Hold chores just need hands, not necessarily skilled ones), and knows nothing of dragonriding-- he agreed to Search only because he's curious, and because Kyeli's going. Personality- Thoughtful and quite logically-oriented, Damiran tends to think hard before doing anything (except sometimes in Ky's company; he often trusts her judgement a little too far). He notices details others miss, and tends to put the pieces together quickly. All of which would serve him well if he were better at gauging people-- he's not. He often overlooks the importance of things he notices, and misjudges or is confused by things that people do. He can be quite condescending, because it bemuses him greatly that others aren't as logical as he is, or that they don't see things that seem self-evident to him. In short, he's intelligent but unperceptive, with too little experience in social settings. When put in the middle of a bunch of strangers he's more likely to be silent than introduce himself, at least until he thinks he has a handle on things.
<<<Pets>>> Name- Talons Species- Feline (domestic) The hopefully-named Talons, though a good hunter of pests, really isn't very ferocious as felines go (which is probably a good thing). He _is_ a sleek, distinguished black with pale golden eyes, well-muscled and strong, and he does have keen, translucent white claws, but when the hunting itch isn't on him he much prefers to climb into somebody's lap and snooze. He's _not_ fond of dragons, but seems to view them as something encroaching on his territory more than a large predator that might eat him, for he tends to stalk around them fur-ridged, but otherwise leaves them quite alone.
