SandStormers Clutch - MusicHatching January 25th, 2003 Pern date 8.09.07.01 Wind Over the Mountains EggGreen Lucerth - AlianiaLucerth is a bright, vivacious green, beautiful and dazzling even out of the shell, sporting an almost iridescent glimmer to her hide when she is very clean and in the sun. She is small, perfectly proportioned, and a fine figure of a green dragon, and will grow into a rather splendid looking lady. She is giving and generous in all things by nature, an open, friendly person, though one dominant trait of hers will not become apparent until she matures. Lucerth doesn't think she flirts with other dragons; she genuinely wants to give them pleasure and fun. She will "crush" on one, encouraging her lifemate mercilessly to get involved with that dragon's rider, to share the experience of "falling for them." And then when she has risen and been caught ... she has given the pleasure, so she generously moves on to her next beneficiary. Based on Angel of the Morning - The Pretenders Starshock EggGreen Butacth - AdrielButacth is a dark green color, and at first glance almost appears to be a dragon-shaped shadow. However, if one continues to watch, they'll never mistake her for an inanimate object again. A natural flirt, she struts around like she owns the Weyr. She is a large-sized green, with a structure that thickens towards her rear end. Her hindlegs are quite formidable, and she is fond of lashing around her tail. This green dragon can't keep still or quiet for long. Often inclined to talk the ears (or lack thereof) off of her clutchmates, she's fond of prancing around and creating mischief ... especially if a male dragon is involved. From a young age she'll discover the wonders of flirting, and will test the waters to see just how far she can push others. Based on Baby Got Back - Sir Mix-a-Lot Nursery Rhyme EggBlue Merleth - TanoiNot the prettiest and far from the strongest in his Clutch, Merleth has Based on Blackbird - The Beetles Flamboyant Ambiguous Beauty EggBlue Senbuuth - BeladonaCongratulations. It's a head. Your blue-grey-moldy Senbuuth is a hideously deformed thing that should never have hatched. But you just had to play the hero, didn't you. Based on Blinded by the Light - Manfred Mann Random Trails to Nowhere EggGreen Thaerath - RoxieThaerath is a medium-sized green, thoroughly average and not really much to look at. Her hide is pretty enough, a moss green that drapes her entire frame without any variation in hue from muzzle to tail. Her frame is just as flexible as any other green', and she doesn't have any extra speed to boast of. All in all, she's just another dragon, basically unimportant and no one to be concerned about. Based on Chain of Fools - Aretha Franklin Don't Leave Me Alone EggBrown Colth - J'red (transferred)Many people spend their lives searching for someone they can trust Based on Chrome Plated Heart - Gary Morris Raw Beauty EggGreen Abbeth - TinallaAbbeth has a hide of a light, pure green, unmarred by any blemish and possesses even out of the shell a look of artful innocence. If she had them she would be batting her eyelashes at other dragons and people to get her own way - as it is she make do with a tilting of her head that makes her appear cute and shy and innocent. Based on Dancing Queen - ABBA Chaotic Compulsion EggGreen Swinleth - EzzieSwinleth is an insecure green who has a tendency to dig herself deeper and deeper into trouble. Even if she knows she's doing something wrong, she will continue just for the sake of finishing it. Her hide is a sea green color with subtle hints of blue throughout it, and if viewed from afar looks remarkably like the ocean. She is one of the smallest dragons of the clutch-- a distinct advantage in this time of want-- and tends to follow the lead of others. Based on Devils Dance Floor - Flogging Molly Set the World Alight EggGreen Ceciath - AlyColoured a fresh spring-green, this young dragon sports an air of innocence. Her wings are slight oversized, and she'll discover that if she bends her neck to just the right angle, she can tuck her head under one when she's feeling shy - something that will happen now and then when she feels there's too much attention on her. Based on Don’t Say You Love Me - The Coors Song of the SunGold Altalath - CathernAltalath is a gold. Think that's a bit too simple, perhaps even redundant? Hardly. She is the gold of grain, a light yellow, but shiny all the same. Imprinted on her gilded sides is a day-bright nebula of bisque and buff wrapped in far-flung arms of powdered lemon. Her hide lacks even a hint of the reddish hue that stains many of her golden sisters, the ore that forged her unsullied by baser elements. A thinner field of stars follows along the curves of her body from aft to fore, down each of her long, slender limbs. Those limbs give her the illusion of more size than she has, for her body is short and compact compared to most golds, though her hips are wide enough that bearing eggs should not give her difficulty. Her hands are as graceful as a dragon's can be, sinuous fingers seeming to bring the moon and stars within her grasp if only she reaches out. Based on Fame Themesong Manic Energy Bomb EggBlue Derirth - TwilightDerirth was tucked tight inside his blue, watermarked shell- too tightly as a matter of fact. From the moment he was Clutched he felt constricted inside his shell- the reason being, well, Derirth has a very chubby bottom! With such constrictions on this little dragonet, it's no wonder he liked to rock his egg around. This very beautiful azure blue dragon- though rocky he may be- has a very sweet disposition. Always polite, he harbors a slightly darker side-- when restrictions are loosened in the slightest bit he is ready to party! He'll get up and start moving around, egging on his clutchmates to join him in a bit of play. That rocking in his shell had him very used to shaking his chubby bottom and it's a habit he'll never quite outgrow, since he will always be stuck with that very chubby bottom. He might not be the easiest dragon to get off the ground, but once he's in flight watch out. That bottom seems to help, rather than hinder him in flight, making him just a little bit faster and steadier than the average blue while still allowing him the stamina of his color. Does Derirth look odd with his big blue bottom? Not really. It fits him and you'd never want him any other way. He'll be the perfect lifemate for some lucky Candidate. With his sense of playfulness he'll be a treasure to his clutchmates and gladly bring happiness to all around him if they'll let him. He'll make you love him whether you want to or not; he just has that air about him. So while Derirth waddles broadly he also plays hard and works hard. Yes, he'd rather be frolicking than doing lessons, but he's good-natured about just anything asked of him. Whoever Impresses him as a lifemate will be very happy indeed. Based on Fat Bottomed Girls - Queen Mellow Smoke EggBronze Arkerth - Br'ianArkerth is a handsome young bronze, and he'll not let you forget it. Even in times of plenty, you'll find that fat won't stick to his sleek frame no matter how much he eats. He'll never be the largest bronze in the Weyr, remaining about average in size, but that won't do anything to upset his vanity. Marks on that bronze hide, though, might just accomplish what his lack of stature fails to do; his rider may expect to spend a great deal of time keeping it scrubbed clean, and the first Thread score to mar it will be cause for an unholy tantrum. Based on Follow Me - Uncle Cracker Burnished Beloved EggGreen Xubereth - KyrinalThe life of a dragon and her rider during a Pass is often short and abruptly ended. Xubereth must have been born knowing this on some deep, unconscious level, for she is determined to live every moment of life as if it were her last. What happened yesterday is as inconsequential as what may happen the next day. There _is_ no tomorrow, as far as she's concerned, no plans to be made, nothing to save herself for. Every second must be met with love worthy of the precious thing it is, held onto and explored to his fullest measure. Eating is not something one does to live-- the experience itself is reason enough for life. Sleeping, flying, mating, breathing are all just as meaningful. Xubereth has great capacity for accomplishing goals; the problem is that she cannot distinguish which are important, and which are not. That is where you will stand, rider. She is incapable of laying plans and disinterested in moderating herself. Your human mind must do this for her, as she makes up for your lackings. Your ambitions, whatever they might be, are bound to change now that she is in your life. She cares not at all for rank, and will never be suitable for it. Others lead-- she _lives_. And that is how you, too, will live. Based on Forever Young - Temperence Graceful Ripples EggBrown Garfeth - R'variGarfeth has a light brown hide, slightly on the small side of average for a brown. There are little whorls of an even lighter color around his eye ridges and top of his head, looking like curly hair from a distance. Based on I Am a Rock - Simon and Garfunkel Shouldn't Have Licked That Frog EggGreen Leslath - R'yinLeslath is, in her opinion, one of the biggest, if not _the_ biggest greens in her clutch-- and she's quite insistent about it. (Luckily for her, she's right). This relatively large size contributes to her superiority complex, although neither in form or hubris is she the size of Altalath. In a way, Leslath sees herself as a sort of mini-queen. She knows that she is not, and will never be, a gold, but she thinks herself more deserving of praise than the rest of dragonkind regardless. That her hide is very shiny, as close to a metallic sheen as a chromatic dragon can get, certainly does nothing to deflate her ego. Based on I Hate Little Firelizards - Julia Ecklar Cracked Shells EggBlue Badoweth - KimarrenaThis vibrant blue dragon is a virtual fireball! He is very tough - but not a mean little guy. Through any adversity he will be right there standing strong. He knows there's no easy way through life and he'll gladly accept the trials brought his way. When other young dragons complain about their lessons, he'll tell them to suck it up and do what needs to be done. Is there a softer side to Badoweth? Yes, but he only shows it on rare occasions, and only to his lifemate. Based on I Wont Back Down - Tom Petty Infatuated First Crush EggBrown Moniketh - B'ramMoniketh is a sizeable brown Hatchling and has a lustrous, deep, smooth brown sheen to his hide like liquid chocolate. He is a little madcap and his extra size will make him look comical as he is blundering around excitedly on whatever mission he decides is vitally important at any given point in time. Based on Im a Believer - Monkees Blooms of Excitement EggBlue Joelleth - O'siasJoelleth should know not to be vain, for he has hatched looking in need of a good coat of oil. His hide appears to you as a splotchy mess. Diamond, ice, and dulled sky meet on him as splotches. Splotches that no amount of oiling will make fade, they remain, casting him out as different from his clutchmates for it is Joelleth's real coloration. It is also tougher to tell true roughness of hide from natural coloration. But hey! He surely will stick out from the crowd when it comes time for him to shine. For now, he clashes with himself in color. Even his wings are crowned with an icy crack of clashing contrast. But this mid-sized blue slinks toward you, carefully worshipping the ground around you. Yet he moves with a sharpness of step that makes it harder for him to be overlooked, especially with how he keeps tail or wings held high enough for any to see even if they wish they had not. Based on Just the Way You Are - Billy Joel Grassy Meadows EggWouldn't you like to run through a field of green grass, blowing gently in the cool wind? With the sun on your back and sky of blue in your eyes, and just collapse on the ground, laughing and relaxing in the wonderful softness of the earth? This egg reminds those who look at it of their happier moments outdoors, and if it catches their eye, it will lure them into wanting to run as fast as they can into the nearest field and just roll in the grass like a mad herdbeast. It has a certain fragility to it, but from most angles one can see how sturdy it is. The egg is not remarkable in size, but every so often it appears that the green on it ripples, so that it looks just like grass swaying in the wind. Green Angilth - SatryneAngilth will be fiercely dependent on her lifemate, and when apart will be devastated. If physically left alone, she will become distraught, and may turn to causing mischief in a plea for attention until her lifemate returns. She will often stand with her head turned to the sky, unblinkingly without moving, as though waiting for something. If anyone comments on her stance and observance of the sky she will simply give them an odd stare, waiting for them to turn away. Based on Learn to Fly - The Foo Fighters Jungle Beat EggBrown Zeruth - J'reToasty brown, Zeruth is very handsome. He's going to be a big brown, probably just shy of the smallest bronze in size. His shell drew lots of attention with its vibrant jungle like design. And while Zeruth is attractive to look he doesn't want to be in the spotlight. Content to stay in a corner, he is a very sensitive dragon, perhaps a bit too sensitive. He worries ever so much over his lifemate. He wants to keep up with the exuberant boy but fears he won't be able to and when he dares to voice his worries, he even worries he's said too much and then turns around and worries he didn't say enough. Poor Zeruth, he tries so hard. Every waking hour he's trying to keep an eye on his lifemate, to please him and his over zealousness is becoming ntdetrimental to him. It's not too late though, the young brown dreams of the perfect relationship and as soon as he shares this with his lifemate all should be well. He's very special and on the up side- his ability to think deeply has him near the top of the class in his lessons. He's very smart and has an amazing ability to think a bit longer termed than other browns. As far as speed and agility, his strength lies more in the area of stamina. Overall, Zeruth is a wonderful brown and will be desperately in love with his lifemate. He'll need lots of tender loving care, so his lifemate will be someone just as special. Based on Losing My Religion - REM Beauty's Depth EggBronze Haafsanth - Q'osThis bronze is on the deep end of the color range, hide a dark, shimmering mahogany. His deep reddish brown body is very eye catching, and twice that when he moves. The ripples across his hide capture every ray of sunlight like a moving carpet of magic. Not too surprisingly, Haafsanth is typically bronze in his thinking. He is a born ladies' man and he has the talent to woo almost any female dragon. His charm has him spouting campaign promises that make the female dragons fall all over themselves in an attempt to garner his special favors. Based on Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf Simple Pleasures EggGreen Waleth - Tr'vorIt's not a pretty shade of green that you see when you look at Waleth. While the rest of her siblings have creamy or bright hides, her body is a ruffled-looking puce green colour. She'll have a horrific problem, as she grows, with her hide drying and flaking even when her rider's just oiled her. And as she ages, she'll be just as high-maintenance as she was when she was younger. Based on Mein Herr - Caberet Only Half There EggBlue Lunakath - E'lisLunakath is the colour of the sea under moonlight, dappled with darker Based on Moonshadow - Cat Stevens Warrior Jade EggGreen Damhsath - CaidenShe is a shadow parting from her egg. The darkest of green nettles with Based on Mummers Dance - Loreena McKennit Lovely Manipulation EggGreen Ciceroath - PellaCiceroath is one of the larger greens of the Clutch, though that isn't the reason she stands out from the rest of her Clutchmates. Her smooth hide is an almost fluorescent lime-green, bright enough to make people instinctively want to rub at their eyes to see if the light had simply caught the lean frame wrong to make it glow so vibrantly. The lime color darkens to a more natural yellowish-green towards her snout and the farther down her tail one glances. Despite her natural lean, tough aura, she isn't graceful unless she's up in the air, and she's not even truly graceful in the air. Instead, she's a speed demon. Based on Papa Dont Preach - Madonna Dream Mirage EggGreen Honolith - JoanyaThere's a cloudiness to Honolith's green hide. From a distance, you'd think you were looking at a bright green dragon through a light curtain of fog. It's only when you move closer to take a look at her that you realise that this mist is, in fact, part of her colouring. There's no mist in her eyes, though - those are bright whether they're whirling in play, hunger, or any other mood. Based on Puff the Magic Dragon - Peter, Paul, and Mary Sorrow's Tears EggBlue Moenith - K'niMoenith is a thin blue with an oddly long body. It is not that he's tall- far from it, in fact- but his body is stretched out as though someone yanked him in all directions while he was still in the egg. His color is a velvety, dark blue that appears as if it should be soft to the touch, though there are lighter spots of milky white that are liberally sprinkled across his hide. He is almost outrageously positive about everything. Whenever his lifemate doubts himself, within five seconds Moenith will offer encouragement so warming it's almost suffocating. He sets impossible goals for himself and works doggedly to achieve them. Once graduated, he'll do his best to last the entire Threadfall, though he knows such a thing is impossible. He'll be quite good at charring the Thread that gets away from the larger dragons, his odd shape allowing him to slip through those awkward nooks. Based on Reach for the Stars - Sclub7 You Know You Love Me EggBlue Seveglesth - ValerynaSeveglesth is a medium-sized blue, more stocky than anything else, and yet there is a delicacy to him that will fool others into thinking he's younger than he actually is, no matter what age he might be. With a dark, dark indigo hide, his stocky frame seems quite awkward on the ground, something that will bother him to no end. His entire frame is very well-proportioned, however, making him seem like a perfect specimen of dragonkind once he's in the air. He'll build up much more endurance than most blues will, but he won't be the fastest blue of his Clutch. Based on Seven Bridges Road - The Eagles Stealing the Show EggGreen Ellath - Rh'rikThe green of Ellath's hide is patterned in shadows and light, dappling over and into each other. Tiny and delicate, most times Ellath is a beauty who should be petted and pandered to, a Lady among dragons who should be set on a cushion and fed sweet things. Anger her though, and you will remember that this delicate young beauty is a carnivore capable of tearing herdbeasts apart should she so choose. She may be small, but Ellath can still be frightening when she growls, bristles, and snarls. Based on She - Elvis Costello Faded Glory EggGreen Betulath - ZeedaBetulath is a bit on the fickle side, something evident even in her hide. At first glance she seems pretty uniform in color, being of a dark, almost hunter green with only a few flecks of a slightly lighter hue. Upon closer inspection, however, her hide will prove to be an array of different greens packed close together to create the darker, more uniform tone. The effect is quite dizzying if watched too closely. Based on Shes Always a Woman - Billy Joel On A Cloudy Ocean's Night Eggfor what no one might know, though in this darkness; such rippling water of black, can be seen with the greatest of ease what with such yellow sand, giving warmth to the dark sights. It waits all contained, for its melodramatic whispers to be heard; but by who, has not yet been obtained; though the glow from above, might yet be a hint from the blue; as to what is to come; but the egg that is here doesn't give a clue. For all any can know, the black waters merely wait; the serene blackness, meant to draw unwary to its path; to those that come, the secrets in it's folded robes; might come forth, to whisper it's truths to them as bait. Brown Trudath - Ale'krisAn arrow of amber-brown enters the world. His small-sized form is held in an alert manner, his oversized wingsails ever open as if he plans to take to the air at any moment. The lighter sandy brown veins upon those wings twitch and jump with the surprises he receives in his new life. The slightest movement around him will have him swinging his pert muzzle toward the troublesome disturbance of his path. Even than he is more alert for you, his end goal. Where he places his feet on the journey is merely a secondary consideration. He stumbles along with a steadfast determination, never giving in to the disappointment; instead, he learns along the way. He grows more sure in the path he travels, with his steps becoming easier and quicker. As long as the movements of his sleekly aerodynamic self aren't arrested or his thoughts broken he will figure out his route. Though slow and clumsy at first, you shouldn't take him lightly, for with growing experience he shall increase in speed. Based on The Face Within - Mercedes Lackey Heart and Soul EggBrown Jonprith - J'stinJonprith is a brown that thinks he should have been a bronze. He is a warm, golden brown, almost tawny in coloration, though despite all his longing he has a matt, furry appearance rather than a shine. Never the less, he is a large brown, and will grown to be the size of many small bronzes, no mean achievement for a brown. The problem is that Jonprith has a tendency to be a bit lazy. He has the talent and ability to be all that he thinks he is, but he is altogether too fond of resting and eating and being pampered. As a Hatchling he will be a bit of a terrible toddler, arguing a great deal with his lifemate if he can't get his own way, which is rather unusual for a brown. But then, he is ambitious for a brown dragon and determined to be leader, and determined that he will be flying queens and his lifemate will be a leader as well. But unless he really puts in the effort, this is not that likely. Still, he is fascinated by all things gold and shiny and will rush off to investigate anything like that that is around. Based on The Phony King of England - Disneys Robin Hood Good Versus Evil EggWho wins? The colours it seems, for at the top they merge then paint the very tip in a brilliant white which the black dare not touch. Good triumphs over evil ... a victory is won. Bronze Zehnsth - J'scoThis young bronze would have been much happier to be born gold. As it is, he was born with the hauture and grace of a gold, but in the wrong gender. His considerable will is not paired with very much logic, so he will His shining hide, a pale bright bronze when he leaves the egg, will make it all the harder to convince him that he isn't a gold. He'll grow to average sizefor a bronze, with nothing abnormal to his looks; by the time he graduates, his hide will darken. Based on Tomorrow belongs to me - Cabaret Life Within EggGreen Madhuth - UkomiSweet as the sweetest sugar beet ever grown on Pern, this adorable little green is the most precious dragonet to ever hatch. Willow green, sweet Madhuth has a much darker underbelly. Turn her over and her belly shimmers a very beautiful leafy green. What makes Madhuth so sweet and wonderful besides the obvious love she exudes as a newly Impressed dragonet? This little dragon is very docile. Her delicate mannerisms and pure innocence is like that of a young human child. Think a bad thought? Never. Get angry? Faranth forbid! Is she perfect? No.sadly she has a tendency to let her mind wander. Flighty would describe her well, but scold her and she'll promise to change even though it would be easier for a feline to change its stripes. Does she deceive when she promises to change and doesn't? The answer is a resounding, no! As innocent and sweet as Madhuth is, she could never even bend the truth. Will she have to try harder than most of her clutchmates? Yes. Long after the others have their lessons down pat, Madhuthwill be struggling to retain her instructions. Her lifemate will have to be someone with a very strong will and a lot of patience. Madhuth will need a strong guiding hand. The rewards for her patient lifemate will be tremendous. Where other dragonets might have a tendency to whine or complain, this little green never will. While other dragonets are testing the limits put upon them by their lifemates, Madhuth will obey each and every word of hers. Of course her lifemate might have to repeat those words and talk a little slower, but sweet Madhuth is the ultimate in compliancy, the epitome of draconic sweetness. Based on Tupelo Honey - Van Morrison Patterns of Recognition EggBlue Johireth - Gr'dilThis blue is all fun and games, and his vibrant hide of smooth cerulean attracts attention and demands applause, not to mention his balanced frame is elegant and gorgeous. He knows this, too, and even in the air he betrays an aura of arrogance in his twists and turns. Somewhere between medium-sized and large, Johireth is a beautiful dragon. The gleaming cerulean stays the same color throughout his entire body, from the tip of his delicate muzzle to the end of his slender tail. Based on Unknown One Standing Strong EggBlue Indivarth - BryceIndivarth is possibly the smallest blue in the Clutch, the size of a large green, but his vibrant color makes him seem larger. His luminous hide is a mixture of pale sapphire on the underside of his wings and on his belly, and dark azurite on the rest of his stocky, small frame. The dark azurite darkens even more along the ridges of his spine, running from the top of his head between the whirling eyes to the tip of his tail in a dark, teasing stripe. The entire picture makes him seem like a fun-loving dragon who enjoys being on the dangerous side of thrills. Based on Viva las Vegas - Elvis Imitation EggBut no - walk around the egg and the lie is revealed for what it is. Vivid oranges and greens splash the other side, showing it to be no more than an imitation. Still, it doesn't seem to be ashamed of itself. The bright colours must simply be laughing - either at you or with you, it's hard to tell which. Silly - it wasn't truly trying to fool you at all - it's quite happy being what it is! Bronze Lueth - Ray'dAll of Pern knows that bronzes are the leaders of dragonkind, fierce and proud (and egotistical), needing no others to guide them, accepting no rivals to their authority.
