Rider P'enn on Brown Burgundyth

Player: Aria

Name: P'enn (Pienn) 
Age: 19 (5.08.4658)
Rank: Weyrling, Journeyman Winecrafter

Description: On the taller side, around 5' 11'', with thick, dark brown hair that's almost always a little wind-ruffled. His skin is slightly tanned, and eyes a rich honeyed brown. Fairly good looking, with strong but well defined feastures. He likes to wear warm colors: reds, oranges, golden tones and natural browns.

Personality: Pienn is jocular, joking, and a bit of a flirt. You'd never know about the anger he has inside (that even he won't acknowledge) that his parents basically forgot him -so he feels- amongst his many other siblings. He loves to drink, and drink... and doesn't particuarly notice or care how much. He excels at anything he works at, but doesn't work at much. His craft was the one major exception. In rare moments where he's not in *public face* he's rather dark, and he's definitely stubborn when he wants to be. An excellent actor.

History: Youngest of twelve children, born to beastcrafter parents, Peinn was somewhat forgotten amongst his swarm of siblings, and the other four or five foster children -usually his cousins- who were always running about the Cot Hold. Needless to say, it wasn't long before he found himself hanging out with older kids, and discovered the pleasures of a good drink at a young age. His parents never noticed. So, naturally, when it came time for him to choose a craft, he eagerly chose winecrafting and headed off to Benden Hold at the age of twelve. Despite his over-indulgence in drink, Pienn managed Journeyman in an amazingly short amount of time, absorbing information almost as fast as he could absorb wine. When he made Journeyman, he was sent to Quartz River Hold to work with the Master there. Being surrounded by winecrafters, no one really noticed that he drank any more than his fellow apprentices and journeyman, so his drunkenness hadn't been noted.

Until Pienn and Tyr both impressed from the stands at the next Mountain Song hatching! Startled by the lack of self-esteem and sociability of his dragon, P'enn wasn't sure they'd ever get along. But that wasn't his main concern. For several sevendays he snuck alcohol, in small doses, in with fruit juice, until the Master Baker noticed and locked the stores. Unexpectedly, P'enn fell into a severe withdrawal, the worst of which lasted a full month! The cravings continued, but that frightening experience shook up Burgundyth as much as P'enn, and the two began to bond.

They finished training with a lot more success than they had started, and graduated easily. But there, the problems returned. Freed of Weyrling rules, P'enn once again had access to whatever he wanted, and he thought nothing of picking up a glass of wine at his own graduation. The situation worsened when he found out that the girl he'd become fond of, Tivali, had lied about her real identity. He understood why, but it still hurt that he hadn't known.

Dragon Name: Burgundyth
Color: Brown
Age: 2 (6.14.4675)
Description: His hide is a rich, warm reddish brown, drifting into the maroon/burgundy end of the spectrum. He's bit bigger than average, but he wasn't a behemoth and never will be.
Personality: Often mopey and apathetic, a bit of a worrier, and not particularly social. Only when he almost lost P'enn did they really begin to bond. He doesn't understand the problem, but he will do whatever he can to fix it.
