Physical Description

Serali stands about 5'7" with a softly toned, athletic physique. Her light brown hair falls just past her shoulders, and is usually kept tied back for the sake of conveniance. The shade of her gray eyes is so light as to appear almost silver, and it creates a striking look. The rest of her, however, is quite average and common-looking. Serali has always found it easy to disappear in a crowd. She doesn't put a lot of thought into her style of dress, being concerned primarily with the comfort and durability of her clothes, and not very much with how they might look on her.

Personality

As a child Serali was devastatingly shy, and even though she's lost a lot of it over the years, she still has some difficulty asserting herself. She tends to be very reserved and aloof, and because of this is easy to miss. In social situations she tends to fade into the background. Due to her abusive childhood, she has pretty severe self-esteem issues and can be extremely hard on herself. In general she dislikes being touched by other people, as this can make her extremely uncomfortable.

On the flip side, she is a perfectionist with a surprisingly strong will, and when she sets her mind to a task she doesn't like to give up. Serali is extremely intelligent and insightful. She's quite good at seeing the truth about people, regardless of how they act, and her habit for watchful observance ensures that she often knows a great deal about the goings on around her.

Generally Serali is quite gentle and sensitive, and the few people who do notice her are often grateful for her quiet attentiveness and thoughtful insights. If only she could bring herself to let them get to know her as well as she knows them, she might find herself a little happier.

Background History

Although Serali was raised in Nabol, she was not actually born there. Serali was given to an adoptive family in Nabol shortly after birth, her biological mother being of a very young age and unable to keep the child. This is the only information her adoptive parents gave her about her origin, claiming that they never knew the girl's name or where she came from.

Serali was raised as an only child, due to the fact that her adoptive parents were unable to have children of their own. Both of her parents were bakers and they owned a little shop where Serali would later be required to work. On the outside her parents seemed like good people, and they were well-liked by the community, but they were emotionally (and sometimes physically) abusive to Serali throughout her childhood. She grew up to be a nervous and antisocial teenager, until one day, against all odds, a searchrider from Fort Weyr picked her as a candidate, thereby rescuing her from her home.

Serali impressed blue Laerth at the next hatching, and spent the next fourteen years as a rider for Fort. During that time, she slowly began to achieve a higher self-confidence and adapt to dealing with other people. By the end she was much changed from the child who spooked at shadows, but was never able to entirely be rid of her past. Shortly after turning 30, she put in a request to be transferred to Mirror Lake, due to her desire to be a part of a less crowded atmosphere. She was granted that request, and it was not long after arriving at her new home that someone on the council noticed her and Laerth's keen sense of intuition and offered her a searchrider position.

Dragon Info

Name: Laerth
Color: Blue
Age: 14

Description

Laerth is a small, agile blue with a fine bone-structure. His hide is extremely dark midnight blue. In flight he is quite fast, but tends to have less strength and stamina then some of the larger blues.

Like his rider, Laerth is rather shy and quiet. He can be a bit emotionally fragile at times, and likes to have his rider's reassurance and affection. Interestingly, he has never taken much of an interest in mating flights (although it happens occasionally), and part of this may be due to his rider's hesitation on the matter. Being highly intuitive and perceptive, he makes a great search dragon, always able to pick out some of the best candidates.
