Physical Description: A'thel is just an average boy. He's only 5'6, with longish sandy blond hair that always looks like he just woke up. His eyes are greenish blue. He's pretty small and delicately built. He's was never strong, and has had to work up to the strength required of dragonriding. His fair skin burns easily. He's more pretty than handsome.

Personality: A'thel has always known he was different. Smaller and weaker than the other boys, Turns of picking on him have made him act introverted. He obeys every command of his stern parents, though inwardly he hates it.

A'thel is full of shame. He's embarressed that he likes other boys. He's tried to like girls all his life, really he has. It just never worked, and so he feels bad about himself.

He is soft-spoken, meek, submissive, always trying to fade into the background. He dislikes being the center of attention and hates being reprimanded; it makes him cry. He has an artistic soul, loving to draw and paint. He's good with lessons, with a quick mind, and rarely has to be told to do something twice.

Impressing the curious and lively Cheeath wrought a change in his demeanor; A'thel is more confident now then he was before (although you'd never believe it). Sometimes his lifemate's outgoing tendancies scare him, but he's learned to live with that.

Background: Aemethel was born to Aemeck and Ethel at High Reaches Hold. He lived an average life there. As the only child, it was expected he'd continue the bloodline, but even young he knew it wasn't to be.

Small and feminine-looking, young Aemethel was always the subject of pranks and beatings. He used to run crying to his family, which made the bullies taunt him more. His father disliked that his boy couldn't take it.

By puberty Aemethel knew he was into guys, and it seemed the others were guessing. His family wanted him to continue the bloodline, but he hated the idea. He just couldn't force himself to like a girl in that way. Finally, at the age of 17, he ran away from the Hold.

Unfortunately he ran on a Threadfall day. A sweeprider, S'ler found the boy and took him back to High Reaches Weyr. The rider's dragon Searched the boy. At his first Hatching A'thel Impressed green Cheeath.

The pair easily completed Weyrling training, with her curiosity and his quick mind. S'ler's blue Evarth caught Cheeath, and the two became closer and closer. During training and flying A'thel slowly came to accept who he was; his attraction to men didn't seem wrong anymore.

In his spare time A'thel discovered and nurtured talent for art. Cheeath encouraged him in it, helping him find the perfect locations and subjects.

S'ler was killed in a training accident,disappearing /between/ after a long day and never reappearing. A'thel was devestated by the loss. It had been with S'ler's help that he became comfortable with High Reaches. Hearing of Dusk Forest Weyrhold, a place for new chances, he and Cheeath decided to go, to start over in a place where no specter haunted the halls.

Dragon Name: Cheeath
Age: 5
Riders age at Impression: 17
Color: Green

Dragon Description: Physical: The speedy green that sometimes moves too fast to manuever right is Cheeath. At Hatching she was the same size as all the other greens, but she never grew to the larger size of other greens. She's certainly on the smallest end of the spectrum, but her rider has no trouble fitting on her. Her size is perfectly all right, as her speed is second to none, land or sea or sky. Sometimes she'll move so fast she falls, but that won't last for long. Her stamina will never be the best, but that's all right; her agility will caught up with her speed. Acrobatics, tricks, swimming and racing all come easily to this green, and while she may not last long in Fall no Thread will ever escape her flames.

A light green with yellow tinting, the color of spring grasses on the plains of Keroon, she has what appears to be brushstrokes of a yellowy color adding dynamics to her. If that's not enough, small speckles and spots of a darker green are scattered here and there.

Even when still, she looks like she's in motion. Cheetath seems to have two states: moving and still. When she moves, she _moves_, but when she's still not even her tail twitches, and the whirling of her eyes slows to imperceptibility. When it comes to flights she'll burst into the sky and fly a fast and acrobatic pattern that will leave only the finest dragon with her.

Emotional: Cheetath is curious. She wants to know about everything. And she wants to know it now. Suprisingly, she retains almost all the information. If she forgets something, a few hints form her rider and she'll usually remember it herself.

This green has energy. A'thel won't be lazy with her around; she'll make him get up and do things. Always the first to rise and the last to go to bed, she'll be moving all day. When she's out, though, she's out, and he barely remembers she's there. If she wakes up and it seems he's busy, she'll go off and play with things herself. The first A'thel hears of her is her either calling for help or squealing in delight over some new 'toy'.

Despite her seeming flightyness, Cheeath is actually good in positions of responsibility and authority. She never abuses her powers or pulls rank. She tries so many new things she might come up with something completely revolutionary.
