Name: Myrilae Terin
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Rank: Kaillen Dragon Keeper
Place of Birth: Village of Miran, Western Kaillen

Hair: Her hair is a muted shade of brown, a color reminiscent of dry, dusty soil. Hanging in wavy, feathery wisps just above her shoulders, it's often messily and roughly tied back with whatever tie or bow is on hand to keep it out of her face. Her hair is often seen bunched into a multitude of tufts dangling just barely above her eyes, kept in place with a wide array of jeweled clips, tiny metallic bows, and scraps of colorful cloth or lace.
Eyes: A delicate shade of aqua green, though the hard glitter of competitive excitement or enraged anger that often appears in her eyes comes into sharp contrast with that soft pastel.
Physical Description: At the fringe end of five feet tall, Myrilae is rather short in stature, especially in comparison to the average Kalenite of over six feet. Though this and her childishly slender build limits her caretaking efforts to smaller, less aggressive dragons, Myrilae puts her full zeal in her every task, which shows in the lively attitude of her once bondless or abandoned charges. She's not particularly pretty, and more heads turn her way to gawk down at her than to admire her. Oddly, all of her physical activity has done little to bulk up her tiny frame, which makes her look distinctly younger than she really is.
Personality and History: Sometimes hyperactively spunky, sometimes violently aggressive, and always a little larger than life despite her tiny stature, Myrilae makes sure no one who chances to meet her acquaintance forgets her. Infinitely fonder of dragons than of her own human kind, Myrilae is often curt, impatient, and sometimes downright hostile to other people, especially those known to be hostile to dragons or to have abandoned a dragon. She's not known for making friends easily or keeping the few she makes for very long, but for some reason, the dragons of Kaillen love her.
At the young age of ten, she insisted on accompanying her mother to Keeper's Cove so she could try her hand at caring for Kaillen's growing population of young offworld dragons orphaned by the hostile native dragon population. While under the watchful eye of her mother and the High Keepers, Myrilae displayed her natural skill and empathy toward the grieving young dragons, and the dragonets seemed to gravitate to the young girl, unpredictable in temperment though she may have been. Her first draconic charge, a male violet-white left orphaned and homeless by a native dragon who felt insulted by their encroachment upon her territory, found his bondmate with Myrilae's help when she was barely fourteen. This made her one of the youngest to be assigned the title of Dragon Keeper, and she hasn't slowed down her ambitions to be the greatest Keeper of dragons Kaillen has known.
Recently, she's heard through flitter correspondence from friends offworld of abandoned dragons at the dragonry of Darkling Dawn, and having always hoped to test her talents with dragons beyond Kaillen, Myrilae successfully (though not without much argument) obtained the permission of the High Keepers. Though she insists the journey will be strictly in order to find a bond for any abandoned dragons she encounters, she quietly hopes she'll find a bondmate amongst the abandoned, which would break the Keeper tradition of waiting until reaching the title of Clutch Keeper before being sent offworld to find a permanent bondmate.
Dress: She's always seen in the simple white attire common to occupants of Keeper's Cove, although she loves to accent her clothing with vibrant sashes, ribbons, inexpensive crystal baubles, and other random accessories she finds pleasing. The entire setup gives her a gaudy, ragtag appearance, which her mother often teases her about.
Items of Note: Myrilae is never seen without a special amulet, a Terin family heirloom, that her mother gave her when Myrilae's first Kept dragon found his bondmate. It's an irregularly shaped blue crystal suspended on a silver chain, allowing the wearer to teleport at will to any world where dragons reside. The Terin Amulet is one of a precious few relics created in ancient days to help dragons without the ability to teleport to find new homes and to return to their birthplace, although all of these amulets have been gifted by their former draconic owners to certain families before they left Kaillen. Were the amulet to be stolen, expect some heads to be bitten off and others to roll until it's found.

Mother: Lynaia Terin/Dragon Keeper/Located at Keeper's Cove, Western Kaillen
Father: Vorune Terin-Kovis/Offworld Diplomat/Located at Firehawk Weyr, Southern Pern
Siblings: Sister Lycaia Terin/20, Brother Nevris Terin/16
Family Relationships: Myrilae barely knows her father, since his main concern and near obsession is keeping Kaillen's diplomatic ties with offworld draconic worlds strong. While he's wonderful at his line of work, his family ties are slipping, as evidenced by the fact that Myrilae rarely cares about her father's existence and occassionally forgets she even has a father. By contrast, Myrilae is close with the rest of her family, especially her mother, who has teased and playfully badgered her youngest daughter but has never lost faith in Kaillen's littlest Dragon Keeper. While Lycaia and Nevris have larger agendas to hold to, Lycaia to raise a family and Nevris to find training to be an offworld dragonrider, neither has lost touch with their middleborn sister.

Name: Zibeth
Age: Adult
Coloration: Green
Gender: Female
Place of Birth: Darkling Dawn

Phyical Description: Small in stature for a green and slightly bulky due to the zeal of care that her new rider has lavished upon her, Zibeth is slowly losing her ragged weariness from years of bondless self-neglect. Like her bond, Zibeth is not particularly pretty or even eye-catching, but any who would chance to truly pay attention to the stout little green could find a little admiration for her dark emerald hide and her graceful poise on her sunning ledge, betraying an occassional luxuriously laidback demeanor. Zibeth's sturdy frame and strong wings are signs of a powerful constitution, almost rivaling certain blues for longevity in flight.
Personality and History: First to hatch and first to bond of her clutchmates, Zibeth has lost much of her original innocent exuberance for life since her bondmate left her, though Myrilae has coached the green out of much of her self-pity and idle moping. Though still prone to occassional bouts of depression, Zibeth has partially convinced herself that, having hatched so early with no candidates present, she had never completed the bond between her former rider. Her every movement and action is precise and deliberate, as though she were weighing her decisions in order to not be hurt again, and she expects as much from Myrilae. She rarely tolerates excessive laziness and inactivity in those around her, and even less so from her close companions, though she's slowly beginning to find a balance between pushing everyone to their fullest potential and allowing some time for rest. Despite the lightheartedness of her demands at hatching from her seemingly less than enthusiastic original bond, Zibeth now cannot stand tardiness of any kind. It's either come early, come on time, or don't come at all (with apologies from now till next year), and Zibeth has been known to nurse small grudges against those who break meetings or plans with her for no good reason and with no notification.
Like many formerly abandoned dragons, Zibeth is slow to trust and slower to befriend, usually viewing her rare mating flights as purely mechanical in nature. Her first true offspring, the result of a secret genetic fusion between herself and a two-headed, two-gendered conjoined Weezel Whorling by the name of Rantie'Eitarin, led to a most unusual conjoined hybrid dragon named Thipham'Maphith. Needless to say for a dragon with Pernese origins, Zibeth was startled enough by her bizarre offspring to swear off mating for months. It's only been recently that she's steadied her will long enough to come to terms with her offspring and attempt a fertile mating again, especially someplace with potentially unusual suitors.
