DacalliName Pronounced: duh-CAHL-ee Appearance: Standing a short 5’3” and weighing 119 pounds, Dacalli has messy blond hair that falls straight to the base of her neck and amber eyes. Her skin is as pale as her father’s from living in a Northern Weyr and she will burn easily in the Southern Sun despite enjoying it immensely. She’s got muscle under her skin and knows how to use it, excelling in her age range’s hand-to-hand sparring as well as the obstacle course. Dacalli enjoys bathing dragons since it means she can use her muscles to climb all over them and be tall for once. Personality: Raised in High Reaches and taught to be proper, sophisticated, and elegant; Dacalli is far from it, for she has been shown to be quite stubborn, rebellious, masculine, and often free spirited. Dacallo is also shown to dislike being called a “little girl” and when someone calls her one she instantly tells them not to call her that again, often with heat. She is quite loyal to her Weyr, wherever that may be, and more than willing to give up her life to save it and its protectorate. Despite that, she does have trouble when it comes to thinking about the future- she is young and, should she Impress like she wants to, she’ll likely live to see the end Threadfall and thus have no use as a rider. There are leadership qualities inside of her but she has trouble using them. History: Born 5.18 in High Reaches Weyr to Brozerider D’cul and a greenrider, Dacalli had a pretty standard life for a weyrbrat. Her mother visited her often but not her father, which Dacalli would wonder about. Did he care? The crecheminders told her that he probably didn’t even know about her which did little to quell her worries. Dacalli decided to become Pern’s greatest dragonrider to show off to him what she was capable of and, on the morning of her 12th Nameday, marched right into the Candidatemaster’s office and applied to be a candidate. She passed the entrance questions and joined the ranks, though she didn’t Impress. Information about Dacalli's pets Pet Name: Emarsil Pet Type: Green Firelizard Appearance: Dark green and long, Emarsil has the body of a firelizard who likes to twine around things and she does. She’ll twist around poles, trees, and especially Dacalli while almost looking seductive about it. When not attached to something, she often will seem to bounce where she sits and definitely bounces when she walks. Personality: Emarsil has two modes: friendly and loud, or quiet and pensive. They can and do change at the flick of a switch which can be funny if she’s been twined around something and then suddenly plops to the floor and bounces. She’s social and adores hanging around in faires or with humans, especially when the latter has snacks that she can snatch. Dacalli is a candidate.
