That's me, standin' in the mirror
What's that icy thing hanging 'round my neck?
Um, that's gold, show me some respect, oh!"

PRONOUNS: Feminine (she/her/hers)
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual

WING: N/A
[center]APPEARANCE[/center]
HAIR: Blonde
EYES: Blue
HEIGHT: 5' 5"
WEIGHT: Buxom
PLAY-BY: Meghan Trainor
APPEARANCE:
Melora is a touch below average in height; 5' 6" in total.
Perhaps she doesn't fit the stereotypical slender and dainty
woman either, but who the forsk are you to judge? Melora is
proud of herself in all her glory, and carries herself
accordingly. In regards to her features, Melora is rather
pretty. Bright blonde hair floats past her shoulders like pure
spun gold, and her eyes are as blue as a spring blossom. In
terms of her dress, Melora is fond of skirts and other feminine
clothing over more practical pants or other clothing. Taking
great pains to look her best, it often looks as though she's
ready for a Gather, rather than a day of Candidacy.
[center]PERSONALITY[/center]
[center]"I hope snakes infest your bed, you absolute harpy."
-Zathrian, to Melora[/center]
PERSONALITY:
Proud, vain, and spiteful - these describe Melora well. Born of
dragonriders of Benden Weyr, she thinks herself to be one of the
finest Candidates ever bred, and it shows in the way she acts
and carries herself. Melora tends to view others as competitors
or pawns, certainly not as allies. Should she discover someone's
weaknesses, she will not hesitate to exploit them to her
greatest benefit. But she goes about it in a very delicate and
subtle manner, so as not to attract the ire of those superior in
rank. Whatever she needs to do to ensure she is on top, she will
do it; whatever it takes. But does Melora have what it takes to
be a leader? No, not in the slightest. All she craves is power
and status. A gold dragon would secure her both in plenty, while
she herself is capable manipulation and cruelty. Those that earn
her favor are treated well by Melora, as a good ruler would
treat her finest subjects.
As mentioned, Melora is vain. Taking great pains to look
perfect, she flaunts her prowess as an attractive young woman.
Headstrong and stubborn, she absolutely will not take anything
other than "yes, you look perfect" for an answer. "No" is not a
word in her vocabulary either, nor is "defeat." Never will
Melora give up, not once she's locked eyes on her prize. Should
someone prove a challenge, she will view them as a bitter rival,
doing everything in her power to take them out of play. Should
someone do her wrong or slight her - something that is very easy
to do to the easily offended Melora - she will see them to ruin.
Salt the fields, burn the villages; all that. None are spared
her righteous wrath, even those that hardly associates with her
target. All will know her name, and all will come to respect
her, as is her right.
[center]HISTORY[/center]
THEME: N/A
FAMILY:
Father - bronzerider/Wingleader - living
Mother - greenrider - living
Siblings/Half-Siblings - several younger siblings, not
well-liked - open tie(s)!
STATUS: Single!
HISTORY:
Melora was born to an average pair of dragonriders of
flightlust, her father a Wingleader upon bronze and her mother
bonded to a mere green. But Melora not at all average, in her
own eyes. Placed in the creche like most Weyr children, she grew
up learning everything a future Candidate would need to know.
But she didn't want just a green; she was Melora, born and bred
of Benden Weyr - it was gold or nothing, for her. As a result of
this goal, set at a young age, she began developing herself to
be a worthy Weyrwoman...or so she thought. All she accomplished
was earning herself a reputation for being shrewish and
demanding, obnoxious and bossy and an absolute pain to be near.
Melora had few friends in her youth, and she was perfectly fine
with that. Less messiness and direct competition for her gold.
Nevertheless, she was a quick learner and received plentiful
praise from the creche's teachers.
Melora entered Candidacy as soon as she was able, at age
fifteen. Ignoring the advice of the Candidatemaster and other
teachers and all her peers, she turned away from greens
entirely, no matter how hard each wished to meet her eye, and
focused singularly upon every gold that hatched, rare as they
were. But she was left Standing at each hatching, but she was
undeterred. To all who could hear, she would boast that she
hadn't yet Impressed for one reason: the gold for her had not
come yet. But when it did...Melora would be ready. As Candidates
joined and left the class around her, she kept her eyes on the
prize. No-one else mattered. Those around her were but nuisances
at best, competition at worst. But she would rise above them
all.
Except she didn't.
In 2610, a gold dragonet hatched from the latest clutch of the
senior queen of Benden, ready to seek out her bonded. Melora
brought herself forth from the middle of the crowd, making
herself noticeable and ready to Impress the little queen. But
much to her surprise, another Candidate - the daughter of the
Weyrwoman - strode to Impress the gold herself. How dare she!
Infuriated and incensed, Melora might've stepped up to meet the
gold as well, had the dragonet not shoved the other Candidate
aside and refused to Impress. When the clutchmother attempted to
sway her daughter, the young gold refused that as well.
Rejecting all influences on her decision, she strode to the
other end of the Candidates, bypassing Melora and all
others...until she came to a man... Melora was stunned silent,
as those around her lifted voice in protest. A gold had ignored
her, the finest Candidate a Weyr could produce, in favor of some
man?
As the Weyr churned with unrest, Melora withdrew from all
interaction. How could this be? Blues Impressing women in
Telgar. A brown Impressing to a non-binary individual in Ista.
What had Pern come to be? But when word reached her from a
blabbermouth Candidate about a small group of the Weyr's
residents departing under cover of night with Haloneth, Melora
made the snap decision to go. Benden Weyr was established with
plenty of Candidates. Should she survive the journey from Benden
to...whatever place they would go, Haloneth would rise and
clutch one day. And that meant a gold would come from one of her
clutches. And Melora would be present to Impress the young
queen, for no other was worthier than she.
It was a rocky start for the settlement, Melora observed, but
she pitched in and did her part to keep up her own appearance of
being a worthy Weyrwoman - even though she lacked her distinctly
golden companion. While she had no dragon, a firelizard was a
worthy companion, as she came to note. Fortunate enough to be in
the right place at the right time, she found herself in
possession of a lovely flit's egg, which hatched in short order
to yield her a gold! Beyond pleased, Melora named the little
queen fittingly: Aurelia. With eggs upon the "Sands" in 2611,
Melora elected not to Stand. No queen would come forth from a
pair of simple greens! As the settlement got affairs in order
and later dubbed themselves a Weyr, Melora couldn't help but
watch Haloneth's hide grow brighter, gleeful. Should Haloneth
clutch, a gold had to come forth soon, right?

[li]Mid Autumn 2612: At Haloneth's maiden clutch with blue
Astralath, Melora Impresses to brown Maheeth, after said brown
mauls her less-than-pleasant companion, Zathrian. Melora is both
amused that Zathrian is getting his just desserts and horrified
that this horrid brown chose her. Life officially ruined.[/li]

[size=18pt]BASICS[/center]
NAME: Maheeth
BIRTHPLACE: Westwind Weyr
BIRTHDATE: Mid Autumn 2612
AGE: Newborn as of Mid Autumn 2612
[center][size=18pt]APPEARANCE[/SIZE][/center]
LENGTH: 57.25 ft.
HEIGHT: 14.5 ft.
WINGSPAN: 85.75 ft.
[B]COLOR:[/B] Brown
[B]TEXT COLOR:[/B] #553514
APPEARANCE:
Maheeth is a massive brown, very sturdy and broad in the
shoulders. Fitting the classic workhorse stereotype for browns,
he is built for stamina and brute strength. Maheeth is very
handsome, sporting a rich chocolate brown for his base,
overlayed with paler brown speckles and a vista scene covering
his entire lower body, the moon rising over his right flank.
[center][size=18pt]PERSONALITY[/SIZE][/center]
PERSONALITY:
Maheeth is a brown that’s got a bone to pick with everyone and
everything around him. While he’s intelligent and thinks quick
on his feet, he has no sense of impulse control and absolutely
no chill. Impossible odds? Sounds like a challenge. Reckless and
foolhardy, he’d charge the queen, given reason. Aggressive and
bad-tempered, he’s prone to snapping for no real reason other
than “you bug me.” Maheeth is extremely moody and unpredictable.
Pure unfocused rage burns at his heart for all the injustices of
this world. It’s an anger that can pour out on the head of some
poor innocent passerby; a firm and steady hand is required to
keep him on the right path. Perhaps time will see Maheeth mellow
out. At his core, he wants to help others, but he doesn’t
understand how to be not angry all the time.
To his bonded, Maheeth will be difficult. Hardheaded and
headstrong, he’s a stubborn brown that will do as he pleases.
But once he settles on a goal, he’ll do everything necessary to
achieve it. It’s a talent, along with his flair for the
dramatic. Maheeth is a brown that likes to be in the spotlight.
Despite being reckless to the point of appearing moronic, he is
very brave, putting others before himself. Maheeth tends to
resent Todayath and his attempts at guiding him, while he
absolutely despises Ustinjath. Aaroth is seen as a noxious
bootlicker, while the rest of his siblings are regarded with
dislike. All the same, he cares for his siblings at a deep
level. Except for Ustinjath. Ustinjath can forsk off.
VOICE: Maheeth’s voice sounds like a young man, but bitter and
angry at the world.
WHY MELORA? BAHAHAHAH, GET FORSKED! Seriously though, Maheeth
will be good for you. Grow up, you little brat.

[center]Aurelia[/SIZE]
HTML https://i.imgur.com/MsVXOFM.png
[size=18pt]BASICS[/center]
NAME: Aurelia
BIRTHPLACE: Westwind Weyr
BIRTHDATE: Late Summer 2611
AGE: 1 as of Early Autumn 2612
[center][size=18pt]APPEARANCE[/SIZE][/center]
[B]COLOR:[/B] Gold
APPEARANCE:
Aurelia is a fine little gold, a touch below the average size
for her color. Very dainty, she has narrow wings and a slender
face; rather delicate-looking. In terms of her hide, she is a
rich warm gold, fading from light to dark from head to tail. On
her wings are emblazoned the phases of the moon, in a bright
classic gold.
[center][size=18pt]PERSONALITY[/SIZE][/center]
PERSONALITY:
Unlike Melora's descriptions of her, Aurelia is not at all ice
cold or uncaring. While she might be aloof and a bit wary of
strangers, she's rather gentle and pleasant. In fact, she even
has a motherly streak coursing through her. Aurelia is very
attentive and concerned with the wellbeing of the young ones
around her. A child's cry has her swooping to the rescue, cooing
and chittering to soothe the hurt. Like most stereotypical
golds, Aurelia is extremely protective of her charges, Melora in
particular. This is a firelizard that won't hesitate to get her
claws dirty to defend those under her care, and those she
watches over are numerous. The young and defenseless are hers by
right, and she'll be damned to see one of them suffer harm
before she takes action.
