VestaName Pronounced: VES-tah Appearance: Hats, that's what you'll first notice about Vesta, she loves wearing hats, preferably big ones. Under the big bonnet lies long blonde hair just like her fathers and deeply tanned skin. She's tall for her age at 5ft5 but still lacks a feminine shape and noticeable breasts. Long arms means she also has quite big feet which she, oddly enough, accentuates with big shoes that only make her look taller, but at least they balance out the hats. Personality: Vesta is a bit of a leader on the quiet, she won't automatically volunteer for a lead role but she'll often end up taking it on simply because people are more likely to listen to her. She's not a chatter box but she is quite loud and doesn't really know how to whisper. She's rather good with younger children, being able to entertain and discipline and not afraid to give a smack upside the head for 'nonsense and fighting' as she says. Besides, it's hard to argue with the loudest person in the room, especially when they don't tend to listen to reasonable arguments and swear like their father. History: (Born: 8th Pass, 6 turns, 5th month, 27th day) Vesta was born to Riders C'id and Hiledea at Fort Weyr. A typical Weyr Brat she realised she had to shout to get herself noticed among the many Riders' children. Rising quickly in the ranks of the crèche she would take charge, watching out for the little ones and keeping the older ones out of trouble. It's not easy though, being a smarty-pants, and natural leaders can breed resentment. Vesta, however, wasn't one to suffer at the hands of bullies or ill doers. If someone was acting out and trying to make things bad for her she would challenge them in front of everyone. If they wanted to be the big Bronze they could prove they were capable in front of all the kids. Most would back down. Information about Vesta's dragon Dragon Name: Naglinth Colour: Green Age: 8.20.6.5 Wing (Weyrling Group): Weyrling Wing (Under 16) Appearance: When Naglinth first cracks her shell, people might wonder how such a sickly looking, and to be completely honest, ugly little dragonet could have come from such a pretty little egg. A mottled hide in a pale shade of nearly sickly green covers her scrawny, bony form and though one might expect such a spindly thing to be tiny she is actually fairly large for a green. Stamina will, oddly enough, be her strong point and despite her frail appearance she will be a good solid fighter. Personality: She is a loud little creature from the get go, squawking, crying and letting out raucous creels for food because she will always be hungry and you'll never convince her otherwise. This green has a voracious appetite. She will always beg for more and more but will never loose her spindly appearance no matter how much meat gets stuffed down her gullet. She will attempt to convince her lifemate that she needs fattening up and as a result will be a prime candidate for bouts of thicktail until her rider catches on.
