Weyrling R'ash on Bronze Lath

Player Name: Aria

Name: R'ash (Reash)
Age: 15 (9.09.4661)
Rank: Weyrling, Apprentice Beastcrafter (jockey!)

Description: Short, even for his age, standing about 5'. A shock of deep reddish-brown hair (mostly red), that's usually in his eyes, fair skinned, and freckled, with flinty grey eyes. Much of his clothing is hand-me-downs that are a little large, and he'll unlikely ever grow into them.

Personality: Firey personality. A scrapper and a bit short tempered if he feels threatened, but sure he can take anyone on a fight. Defensive about his height, but jovial and a bit of a joker as long as no slight is assumed.

Gender/Preference: Male, heterosexual

History: Born to drudges at Paradise River hold, Reash was raised among the general milieu of holdbrats -including a few siblings and half-siblings he sort-of knew - and learned work at an early age. Always on the small side, he found himself the target of boys bigger than himself, verbally, and often physically. He learned to fight back quickly. He took to hanging out in the runner-stables even when he wasn't assigned chores there, and volunteered to help out with mucking stalls and scrubbing tack just to be around the big creatures -he'd never seen a dragon up close, so they seemed big to him! Some of the Journeymen took a liking to him and in return for his help, taught him to ride in off hours. It didn't take long before they realised the small boy -only seven at the time - had a real talent, and was small enough to make an excellent jockey for gather-day races! At least until he grew. Which, as the turns past, didn't seem like it would be happening much in the near future. The Master officially Apprenticed him at age nine, to keep him out of some of the holder brats' hands, and train him up properly without having his time taken up with regular hold chores. It didn't keep him from getting into fights -he'd developed a temper- but it did improve his training!

Reash met his best friend at age nine. Valance, a boy his age, had come into the barns. Some of the older boys were picking on him and, true to nature, Reash had to get involved. It was the beginning of a strong friendship. Two very small boys against the world!

They kept expecting him to grow, but as he hit eleven turns, then twelve, and even thirteen. He still hasn't sprouted! Slow growth sure, but little else! It was much to his own surprise, and Valance's that they both got Searched, and then impressed *big* Bronzes at their first hatching...to which they were brought late and literally shoved onto the sands!

Dragon Name: Lath
Color: Bronze
Age: <1
Description: Lath's hide is a similar tarnished brassy-green bronze as Saanpath's, save for some softer brass coloration along his belly and wing-sails. He's a big boy, and slightly stocky of build, though it will likely turn out all muscle as he grows.
Personality: Bold and eager, Lath's first thoughts are usually 'where's the food' and 'surely everyone's looking at me! I'm big and good looking!' Not so much in a conceited way, but in kind of a 'that's the way the world is when you're bronze' way. He's not the quickest minded dragon, but he's easy going.
