LarissaName Pronounced: La-RISS-ah Appearance: Still attractive even after Turns of living a hard life of a Sea Holders spouse, Larissa has managed to keep her slim figure, thanks to a strict daily regimen that includes swimming and runner-riding. She's got long blonde hair, usually tied back with a maroon ribbon, and green eyes with grey flecks in them. She's about 5'5" tall, and most of that seems to be in her legs, which are long and toned. The only time she'll wear pants is when riding runners, preferring simple dresses or blouse/skirt combos. Personality: Shy and quiet around strangers, but can be quite outgoing with those she calls friends when she gets to know them well enough. However, she has no problems talking with people about 'business'; it's just social conversation that she tends to avoid. History: Born: 09.30, 27 years before the current Pass Information about Larissa's pets Pet Name: Hilly Pet Type: Firelizard Appearance: Hilly is a vibrant, grassy green - the springtime green of the hills near where she grew up, which inspired her name. Unlike most draconics, who seem to be lighter on the belly, Hilly's belly is actually a much darker green, extending up her neck to just below the chin and halfway down the tail. She's medium-sized, from an egg Joxel brought back from a rare trip to the South. Personality: Quite the opposite of Larissa, always willing to share her opinion, whether asked for or not. Hilly can usually be found in a perch near her pet, supervising. Many a Weyr staffer has slacked off in Larissa's absence only to have the green suddenly appear before them, scolding them. And where Hilly hovers scolding, Larissa is usually not far behind. Second Pet Name: Galen Pet Type: Wher (Bronze) Appearance: Galen is a Callamere, though not bred *by* Callamere Hold. His sire and dam - Boo & Durla - are both Callamere stock, however. The result of fairly early generation Callameres gives Galen more of a craggy look than the more refined "pet" line. Galen is a dark bronze, somewhat on the large size for a Callamere, reflecting his early generation. Personality: Very protective of Larissa and "his ones" - which includes Mathern and Gleam, as well as J'lar and Finn. He more or less considers the entire Lower Caverns as his territory - after all, they're his two-legs' territory! - but isn't as, er, territorial about it as he could be. Which really simply means that most other whers are only there on his sufferance, as far as he's concerned. He generally tries to give off a friendly, non-threatening impression, but big, toothy grins generally fail to accomplish the desired result.
