Location: Red Star Weyr
Personality:
M'ran is sweet and charming and somewhat self-conscious. He has a stubborn streak a dragonlength wide, and like Scruff, once he's on to something he will *not* let it go without a fight. Most of the time he's pretty sweet tempered, with a ready,
engaging grin and an easy laugh. Once he gets mad though, it takes him a long time to cool off, and once you're on his bad side you're there for keeps.
History:
Mirtan's father has definite ideas about what Crafts are acceptable
for his sons to enter. When Mirtan showed an early interest in music, his father forbade him to associate with such effeminate things and assumed his son would obey the edict. Mirtan kept on
playing, in private. His brother caught him when Mirtan was eleven, and Purin went ballistic.
When a sound beating didn't inculcate the boy with the right mindframe, Purin banished the boy from his home, despite Freena's protests. Purin nearly wrote off Freena too when she disobeyed him and escorted her son to the Harper Hall. He was
apprenticed, and soon enjoyed the life of a Harper. Unfortunately, although his fingers were strong and sure in the making of instruments, he couldn't carry a tune in a bucket vocally, although he was pretty good at hearing when someone was off.
He was wandering around one restday when he was 14, and he stumbled over an abandoned canine pup. He adopted the little fellow, named him Scruff for his scraggly coat of fur and nursed him to health, if not to a "useful" size. Two years later dragons came to the Hall on Search.
Mirtan was so shocked when he was picked out that he nearly forgot to take Scruff. Weyr life was a surprise for the boy, but half the time he was in such shock at being a Candidate he walked around in a sort of daze. He stood for every clutch, but failed to Impress at Fort Weyr, and was sent on to Red Star Weyr. Four days after his arrival, the current clutch of eggs hatched, and to
Mirtan's astonishment and delight, he Impressed Brown Soiseth.
Soiseth and Scruff didn't get off to a good start. Scruff, more worried that something might be attacking his beloved master than at the fact that he'd make a good snack for a dragonet, rushed Soiseth and attempted to bite him. Soiseth thought Scruff was food and tried to get him. Eventually the misunderstanding got straightened out and they're now best friends.

Pets

Type: Canine (terrier type)

Personality: Typical terrier. If it darts into holes, he'll chase (and
kill/eat) it. Constantly on the move, always has energy to spare. Has no concept of his size in relation to other animals and is *not* ever the first one to back down from a confrontation. With people he is sweet and loving, if a bit hyper.
History: Found in the Fort Hold/Harper Hall/Healer Hall area, sick and underweight as a young puppy. (He was the runt of the litter, and had been tossed into the river to drown, but got back out. Though M'ran has no knowledge of this)
