Girofleth had felt the urges nagging at her for near on a sevenday, and while she didn't get temperamental as some did, she'd grown terribly restless and discontent. But there was no rushing it; she had to wait and just let it build until it was finally time, no matter how much she disliked the several days' worth of lead-up. Perhaps it was a consequence of her Rising so infrequently, but anything more than once or twice a Turn just seemed...excessive. For her, anyway. To each their own.
Sunset approached when she rose from her beachside wallow and sprang nimbly into the air with a soft call. Nothing flashy, nothing dramatic, and no blooding. It wasn't her way. Come and fly with me, if you will.
Iafri sat on the steps up to her little hut and twisted her hands together, looking up and down the beach. She never really expected anyone to show (or, even if they did, to stick around long), but here she was.

About Girofleth:
Both stalwart and gentle, Girofleth may look prim and fragile, but she is no delicate flower. When she sets her mind to something, it will be done, and if she is against something, she will not hesitate to speak up. The only fighting she believes in is the fight against Thread; she abhors all other forms of violence, including during Flights. Often preoccupied with her rider's wellbeing and continued rehabilitation and socialization, so between that and her duties as a fighting dragon, she doesn't always get much time that's just hers.
Positive Traits: compassionate, unyielding, dutiful
Negative Traits: trusts too easily, hard on herself, does not forgive
About Iafri:
A mouse and a doormat. Iafri is painfully shy and has barely a whisp of self-confidence even on her best days. Though she doesn't dislike people, she finds them varying degrees of frightening to interact with, and as such struggles to make meaningful connections. A sweet girl and a loyal friend, but if not for Girofleth, she would be easy for someone to use.
Positive Traits: kind, sympathetic, loyal
Negative Traits: meek, nervous, easily taken advantage of
- Rules/Info:
There will be 3 rounds of rolling, and then Girofleth will choose a winner. Just do an intro post, Girofleth will pick from those! <3 At around 7 AM EST on Wednesday.
The first round will begin at about 7 PM EST on Wednesday 10/30, and each round will last approximately 48 hours (or sooner if everyone has posted), maybe slightly more depending on my own schedule.
If you roll for your entry for the round, but don't fill your post, your points for that round will be halved. There's no penalty for joining late, aside from the missed rolling/scoring opportunities.
Please keep track of your own score and be honest! The rolling and scores, however, are ultimately more for flavor than anything. If Girofleth develops a hard preference, which may be influenced by score, that's who she will choose. The highest score or a suitor who matches her total are not guaranteed to win. If she is indecisive, I may roll between suitors.
Girofleth is 100% fine with Flight surfers! If you just want to chase the boy of your dreams, you go for it!
Iafri is open to company! She generally prefers guys, but with a Flight underway will go with whatever/whoever, so it won't influence Girofleth's choice. And if no one's territorial, well. She won't shoo anyone off, so if anyone extra wanted to join in, she wouldn't raise any objections.
This Flight is open to anyone! It will be my one open Flight for the year.
NPCs are fine, if you have no one eligible to chase.
