Sexuality*:
- Note that all sexualities are fluid or basically pansexual, due to ness's own sexual mindset. All characters are at base pansexual; they could go for anyone based on personality over gender. Some of them may lean, and have a gender preference. Some may be more bisexual. Bigenders, transgenders, and other genders may not be an issue on pern, so that aspect may not be an issue. Point: Personality over sexuality, which is why they will be listed as Pansexual with a potential lean.
Looks
Belirana has a slight form: still a child, she's barely over 5'4", and promises to grow only a few inches more on top of that, if she manages that far at all. Her skin tone is the same olive as her mother's, though frequently darkened due to tan- Belirana spends as much time as she can outside. Her hair is long, and the same pleasant shade as her mother's; she wears it back in a ponytail, to keep it out of the way. Her eyes she got directly from her father: deep blue and almost fathomless in their illusory depth. Her features are pointed, but her full lips soften them when she smiles. Her figure, conversely, is womanly already: she has the beginnings of wide hips and a bust, though it will be a few turns for her to finish her development in that regard.
Personality
Generally kind and patient, Belirana is a gentle person, in most regards. She's fairly friendly when approached, and she means well: Sadism is nothing she enjoys, and she doesn't like being harsh, firm, or disappointing people. She wants to be happy, she wants her people to be happy, and the best way to do that is to avoid strife.
Her patience is fairly selective, however: though she'll be endlessly patient with certain people, on certain subjects, and with animals and children, other subjects will set her off and rankle her instantly. She can be a stubborn as a mule, and will not listen to reason if she's in the wrong. Thankfully these subjects are rare, but pushing them will rankle her and raise her ire.
Her anger is pretty explosive, to boot: she doesn't get quiet, or shakey, when she's mad, she gets big. She puffs herself up, indignant, and yells as loudly as she can. She won't do anything more violent then hit a table for emphasis and occasionally break glass or ceramics, but she'll fume and snarl for hours, and hold a grudge long after the initial fight. The best way to raise her ire right now is to criticize her for Impressing Green, and it doesn't help that she's 13, and a raging ball of horomones.
So long as those subjects are removed from the equation, however, she's almost a completely different person; friendly and sweet, and willing to help. She shows promise towards being diplomatic, in these instances.
She's not one to be run over, however: that stubbornness is prominent in her ire, but it;s also present in her every day life. She's firm when she wants or needs something, and doesn't back down- occasionally to detrimental levels.
She's social, and absolutely hates to be left alone; when raised in the busy atmosphere of the lower caverns, loneliness is not something you get used to. She always wants to be around her friends, or sometimes her family— though she'd rather have her friends, and lately, her family is something best avoided entirely.
Belirana's not so much a tomboy, but she has no real affection for "Girly" things either; she'd rather play out with the boys and run in the mud then wear dresses, though it isn't all she likes to do. She was groomed to be a goldrider, but has neve,r ever liked the idea; the job seems so tedious to her, and she would know, having seen it first hand growing up. She doesn't want to be in charge of things, she doesn't want to be a broodmare. She's thrilled that Zenith is green, not gold.
When Belirana's loyalty is won, it is hard to loose- the trick is winning it in the first place, but convincing her that you're genuine will usually do well enough. Her bravery is also very strong; she'd roar in the face of a feline if she thought it would do her any good. Her decisions, however, are sometimes a tad rash- she'll take risks others might urge her not to, simply because she thinks she can do it.
History
Born to the weyrwoman of Eastern Hold, Rae, Belirana was the second of three children. Her brother seemed to resent her for awhile, but her mother was plenty attentive, despite the fact that she also had a weyr to run: she grew up not wanting very much at all— except, perhaps, freedom from expectations.
The family has had a long, long history of Impressing high: bronzes, golds. Plenty of leaders. At this point, it's assumed that any children will stand, will Impress high, and will, at some point, assume a leadership role at Eastern Weyr of some kind. Any other option is out of the question.
Armed with these assumptions, people began expecting things of Belirana early. She had to dress up and be presentable, she had to be polite, she had to say this at the right time, say that at the right time; she was being groomed to be a leader and an envoy, and that started with the fluffy social stuff you learn when you are expected to engage in diplomacy of any kind. She hated it, and she hated what she saw of the weyrwoman's role: it was so tedious, and dull. She admired the flaming dragons in the fighting wings, she wanted to be amongst their ranks- not dealing with annoyed holders or upset headwomen or stupid political disputes.
But that was not an option, and so she grew to slightly resent her breeding. She still loves her family, of course— but she hates her breeding.
Her brother was born when she was very young, and so her mother's attention shifted from her- she didn't grow to resent him, however, because it meant less direct grooming at the hands of her mother. This was good; she didn't and still doesn't like to disappoint anyone, even if the plans they have for her are not what she wants.
As she grew, she didn't grow towards liking the idea of being weyrwoman or a leader someday, despite some natural talent she showed for it. This perhaps disappointed those doing the teaching, and caused some strife- if she voiced her displeasure, it caused some level of fight or disappointment. She mentioned it rarely, but it grew in her, and she brooded over it.
When Gerea was 12, he stood for a dragon, Impressing his first time: a healthy young bronze. This only added to the expectations placed on her shoulders: her brother had done it, so clearly the tendency was breeding true. Everyone assumed that she would get a gold for sure.
And then she turned 12. As her brother had, Belirana elected to stand: the clutch was hatched shortly before her thirteenth turnday, but she, too, Impressed on her first go-round, at the age of 12. This was much to the disappointment of everyone who'd built up expectations, especially those who had gone as far to make bets: her dragonet was not gold, but green.
A lovely, beautiful, healthy, flaming, fighting green. Belirana was thrilled. Screw the golds, she had something better. Zenith was and is her best friend, and she was happy with the little green's choice.
Her mother, however, was disappointed. It's led to some strife in their relationship: lots of butting heads, almost every time they see each other. Belirana won't handle anyone criticizing Zenith well.

Dragon
Zenith
Green F Dragon
Physically, this girl is always going to be on the smaller sides of things, and bulky. Her limbs are short, and muscular, and her wings are just a tad small for her frame- perfectly capable of lifting her up, but she's never going to be as agile as her green fellows. Her coloration starts out a deep, dark, languid shade, flowing evenly around her muzzle, down the base of her neck, and evenly covering her belly, tail, and legs in one swoop, like the skirt on a spaniel. This darkness is broken by the occasional thin, vieny line of paler green throughout, as if it's layers of stone, with traces of different ages: a measure of ancientness. The darkness is broken abruptly by a mass of brighter, tropical greens, splotched against each other with no attention to reason; just patches of bright greens, like thick, tropical folliage. This would cover the rest of her, but is broken abruptly by a very pale, grayish green tone: like ashes which have fallen from the angry mountain, to gather on her ridges, shoulders, back, tail, the top of her head, and the edges of her wings. All is not lost: amongst the powdery gray-green are slight touches of yellow.
Firelizards
Sabrie
Mauve F Firelizard
Sabrie is large for a mauve and, unfortunately, a tad chubby. Just a tad, and she's touchy about it- but she's certainly much fonder of food then she is of exercise. She's a pleasant bright blueish-lavender shade, which fades out to an almost periwinkle tone on her extremities.
Nero
Black M Firelizard
A handsome little fellow, his hide is a glossy ebony color which certainly marks him as black. It keeps this color over most of his body, only fading into a slightly lighter color on his back legs, where it is still a dark color. In size he is about average for a black firelizard, falling in just about the middle range. However, his body is lithe, skinny and streamlined. Not to say he's not muscular, he has a kind of lean muscle almost like a jungle cat. His wings are long and narrow, giving him prime gliding ability and this will suit him well for long flight. Otherwise, his proportions are fairly average for his size, and of no unusual merit.
