Amber Prillanth
A base color of true, rich amber covers the entirety of Prillanth's body, but rising from her wing joints a deep, rich brown begins streaking back along her hide in a whimsical, wispy fashion. They stay towards the top half of her body and tail, while a gold, lighter than the amber, starts on her belly behind her forelimbs and works its way back intertwining with the brown until the end of her tail, generally staying towards the bottom of her body. Her wings and legs are all the solid base color, and her chest has some small lines of gold that run backwards between her legs. Her face is marked by three small swirls on her left jowl, two in dark brown and one in gold. The front two are the brown, while the one closest to her frill is gold. Her frill is entirely true amber, with the exception of the spines, which begin as gold and fade to brown. Her entire hide has a glassy appearance, and while not transparent her wing membranes are more translucent than the norm, making some that do not know her worry about her ability to fly.
Her build is lithe and agile, particularly in comparison to the original dragons. She is built more like her Daroc father, with large wings and a long body. She will be able to have longer Flights, however, due to the overly large muscles that drive her long wings. In speed and fleetness she will be able to outfly many of the creatures in both the Weyrs and the Desert. Her face is feminine, a petite muzzle tapering into high, delicate looking jowls and cheekbones. Her eyes are average, although rounder than normal and her head knobs and frill are more developed than most Amber’s, giving her keen senses. Her neck is also very feminine, if a bit too long for the rest of her body. Well muscled shoulders and wing muscles give her the endurance a queen needs, although if one looks closely enough she tends to appear rather top heavy while on the ground. In the sky she stretches out, her tail balancing her figure and making her cat-like in her agility. Graceful and lengthy limbs make her taller at the shoulder than another Amber of her length, but will be the cause of consternation for Prillanth in her youth. Her tail is also slightly longer than what would be considered normal for a beast of her build, but as previously mentioned, it will help balance out her heavier front end and longer neck. Overall, this Amber is long. Her neck, wings, tail and limbs are all seemingly stretched, and in her youth Prillanth will be prone to tripping and stumbling over most of these features, and they will have a tendency to make her look lanky and ungraceful. However, as she ages and her body grows into her limbs, she will become a picture of grace and feminism, and in addition to her striking color and fine facial features, she will become a pretty picture.

Hatching Messages
The Diamond shivered and whimpered as Nyxis reached down to touch her. But her voice seemed trustworthy… Hunching her shoulders, the Diamond lifted a wing and peered at the girl through one swirling eye. Claws were clenched tightly in the sand and she looked overly terrified that something was going to eat her while she waited to see that the firelizard whisperer would do next.
The glassy egg had decided that the chaos caused by the firelizards was the perfect time to hatch. Or, to be more correct, she couldn’t wait any longer and had to get… out… NOW! The pretty shell was destroyed in a flurry of talons and limbs, and the female that was left looked proudly over her destroyed egg. HA! Take that! Shaking herself off, her haughty arrogance was obvious. She ignored the racing Copper as well as the Brass and Gold… But there was a Diamond who irked her. Twitching her tail with agitation, she stalked forward to the girl who was trying to calm the scared little dolt, her wings held taunt behind her back to keep them from the sand. She would have succeeded too, if her over long limbs had not tripped her. The hatchling landed face down in the sand, spraying it all over the girl and the Diamond, who shrieked and launched herself at the girl, who offered the perfect defense against such a BIG BEAST! The glassy egg hatchling growled her irritation and yowled in return, her dignified air disappearing as her temper took over. She got to her feet, sand smeared across her entire body, which was actually a pretty mix of ambers, browns and golds, and stalked towards the girl and the flit. Her body was a serious of jagged movements, and her mind yelled out to those around her, bruising the minds of any who were in a three foot radius.
Finally she arched her neck proudly, preparing to discipline the flit and the girl, when she met the eye of the whisperer. And her yelling was halted and her tantrum subsided. [Nyxis? You are mine? I am Amber Prillanth. That was certainly unexpected. But you should not have hidden from me. I am covered in sand and it is your entire fault. But I am sure if you cleaned and fed me, I would forgive you.] Her stubbornness and pride combined, the Amber looking not one bit embarrassed as she peered at Nyx. The Diamond flit was ignored, much to her delight, and she snuggled in deeper to her whisperer’s robes. She had found her savior! Slowly her mind began to creep into the girls, trying to avoid the demanding Prillanth, until she slid slowly into place. Ah… There. Now Nyxis could not leave her. Ever. Prillanth ignored this transgression by the flit, instead focusing her demands on her new rider.
Personality
Stubborn, Prideful, Perfectionist, Short-tempered, Loving, Clever
Stubborn to the point of inconvenience for those working with her, namely her rider, Prillanth likes to know every option before she acts and then only when she decides to, or her temper explodes, will she take action. She will be generally be good at making the best decision however, as long as her thinking stage (which can range from a few minutes to several candlemarks) is completed. If she is rushed she can become irritable and prone to snapping at others until her pride can be restored or her attention given elsewhere. Her pride makes her fearful of failure, and she constantly strives towards perfection. This perfection is extended to those that she considers under her command. And since she is equipped with a dreadfully short temper and a voice that can leave people with throbbing headaches, her image is more often of a loud, stubborn slave-driver than a perfect queen. Nevertheless, Prillanth never says never and has a big heart, and would do anything for those that she considers hers. Her rider in particular, benefits from this love and should her Nyxis be insulted or threatened it will only be a very large wall or very small hole that will shield the offender from her rage. Luckily, her anger consists mostly of yelling and posturing, although if physical violence ever injured her beloved rider there is little hope that she could be contained.
She will be an excellent, if overly protective mother. Particularly for her maiden clutch, and Nxyis will be responsible for ensuring the eggs are allowed to be viewed and Touched. Each candidate will have to go through a “security check” however, of which Prillanth will delight in creating new things for the candidates to do, even stooping as low as to require them to bring her Pernese delicacies. She is always thinking and her rider will need to keep her mind busy in order for her thought to be put to good use. Luckily, Nyxis has the intelligence to give the Amber word games and problems, and riddles will likely become a wonderful way to keep Prillanth's mind busy.
Mindvoice
Prillanth's voice reminds listeners of rain on a tin can: pounding, loud and not ignorable. She will always be "one of those people" who can never tone down her volume, and even her whispers are inexplicably loud. Her regular tone is tolerable, however, and while he rider will eventually get used to it, most new listeners will certainly notice the higher deciabel to her voice. Luckily, her voice is also sweet, and if she could turn down the volume it would be rather enjoyable to listen to. However, when angered her voice becomes a torrential barrage on the listeners mind, leaving them with pounding headaches and a ringing that takes a while to go away. Even the sweetness that makes her regular voice bearable disappears when Prillanth is angered, so after a first reprimand few will cross her again.
