║Landing║Iathe║RESERVED║Important Memories║Firelizards║Roleplays║Misc║
Name: Iathe
Age: 19 Turns
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual?
Craft: None
Rank: N/A
Location: High Reaches
Physical Description: A tall, slim woman who lacks curves, Iathe has never much cared about her appearance in terms of desirability to others. Her hair is blonde and always braided to stay out of her face. She could be quite pretty, but her eyes are usually narrowed, and she's learned to pull off a remarkably ugly sneer.
Personality: Mild, meek, and gentle are words that could never be used to describe Iathe. She is a force to be reckoned with, demanding respect and offering it only if she deems a person worthy of receiving it. This has landed her in heaps of trouble before, because no Candidate should ever mouth off to a dragonrider/person of higher standing, even if they're lazy and shirking in their duties. She's ended up with harsh punishments before as a result of it, and though Iathe has carried them out without complaint, she has been stubbornly unapologetic. Her assertive nature means that she will undoubtedly continue ruffle feathers, but Iathe cares little about the opinions of others. What she believes in is working hard, and bettering herself. She firmly believes that others should do the same.
Iathe is not good about soothing bruised feelings or offering comfort, and will often be quite curt if someone comes to her looking for a shoulder to cry on. Are you physically fit and able to carry on? Then quit your whining and get on with it! And Faranth help you if you've made a foolish mistake, because Iathe will not hesitate to give you a verbal tongue-lashing that you won't soon forget. This harshness and her ferocious temper does little to help her reputation, but again, that's something Iathe couldn't give two figs about.
Should someone come seeking advice or her opinion, she will not hesitate to say exactly what she means, regardless of if she likes you or not. Honesty is the best policy to her, and the thought of telling lies in order to spare someone's feelings is frankly baffling. Why ask her opinion at all if you wanted her to shower you in sweet falsehoods?
Despite her sharp edges and biting words, Iathe truly wants to be someone useful. With the return of thread, the world needs leaders and people they can trust. She aspires to be one of those people, even if she has to shove through the masses to make it happen. If she doesn't, how can she guarantee that someone else will? She refuses to sit and wait for someone else to step up to the plate--not when she thinks she has it in her to do right by her Weyr and the people of Pern.
Positive Trait List Assertive, hard working, honest
Negative Trait List Harsh, quick-tempered, uncompromising
History: Iathe was the product of a dragonflight, and grew up as one of many Weyrbrats around High Reaches. Even as a child, she was a forceful thing, and often used her fists to put older, larger children in their place if they thought they could bully her around. She certainly got into enough trouble due to this stubbornness, but the girl was a hard worker and threw herself headlong into chores despite her combative nature.
As she grew older, it was only natural that she would become a Candidate, though she has not had success in finding her dragon partner so far. Discouraging? Absolutely. But Iathe knows she's young yet, and she can be patient. The first threadfall after so long and the loss of so many lives scared her to death, but made her furious more than anything. How long had High Reaches prepared for its return, only to be mocked and looked down upon? She is fiercely loyal to her Weyr's traditions and is resentful of dragonriders who instead chose to abandon the weyrs and, in her mind, their duty to Pern. |

║Landing║Iathe║Green Skerath║Important Memories║Firelizards║Roleplays║Misc║
Green SkerathWritten by Uta
Colored by Uta
Origin of Name: Skerath's name comes from the Icelandic term for "cut", skera. Given Skerath is based on the spell, Sectumsempra, it is particularly fitting for this green.
Inspiration: Sectumsempra
A rather dangerous curse invented by Severus Snape, when the incantation is uttered its effect is the equivalent of an invisible sword; it is used to slash the victim from a distance, and results in deep wounds. The slash follows the user's wand movements. Due to the depths of the cut, the victims run the risk of dying from blood loss if treatment is not applied in time and if the wounds aren't instantly fatal.
'Sectumsempra' derives from the Latin sectum, "having been cut" (comparable to the English word "section" or "dissect" ), and possibly semper, "always." It can be translated as "always cutting" or "sever forever", the latter being a pun on Snape's first name, Severus, as well as indicating that severed body parts cannot be regrown.
Personality: Skerath is a green who is all edges. She is the sort of dragon who knows what she's about, and just you try to soften her up... It won't end well for you. While everybody knows that dragon's aren't meant to do harm, this little green certainly likes to toe the line. She has no problem baring her fangs and snapping at those she does not like; if physical threats don't work, she will not hesitate to rip someone to pieces with her words. Skerath is certainly a green not to be trifled with, and has no problem getting her way forcefully.
Her rider will need to keep a firm grip on Skerath, lest the green get them both into serious trouble. She will not actually harm someone... but she has no trouble scaring them within an inch of their life.
Skerath is a surly green, who tends to be temperamental and moody at the best of times. She isn't a pushover, and tends to be more unfriendly than amicable; but as far as this green is concerned, she doesn't need anyone but her rider. She has no need for friends, at least, that's what she likes to think. There might be a few she respects, and depending on her rider's influence, might take a shine to those who can hold their own against her general unpleasantness. Deep down, though, SKerath is a green who actually does wish to find acceptance. It's not a place anyone but her rider will know; it's hidden deep, and likely not considered. But there is a loneliness within this dragons' soul. She wants connections, but also doesn't want to become soft or vulnerable; she doesn't want to change, and never will. Any friends of hers will need tolerate her aggressive behavior... and that is likely a small few, indeed. Unless you're her rider, she will cut you as she does any foe.
If that's how she treats her friends, then her enemies are practically brutalized. Those who cross her (or those she just doesn't like) might find her to be a bully. She has a tendency for violence when she is really enraged, and some of her clutchsibs might learn to avoid her when she's in a particularly nasty mood. What seems like a harmless bite or scratch as a hatchling can easily turn into something more serious as an adult. Again, Skerath will never kill, or fatally wound someone as an adult--she has enough empathy to keep herself in check, even if it's grudgingly--but she isn't afraid to let the ichor flow when she can.
Ah, but this green is not all sharp edges and bad behavior. For all the bad, there are heaps of good. To start, Skerath is terribly clever, and has no problem getting herself and her rider out of any scrape they might find themselves in. She can hold her own with the smartest of dragons, and might find some of her clutchsibs simple. She's also daring. When not left to her own troublesome devices, and put to a task, Skerath will have no trouble taking the lead, or jumping into action. She will get her work done and pride herself on a job completed quickly and efficiently; and when things DO get ugly during Threadfall, Skerath isn't the sort of shy away. She'll be excited to fight Thread, and looks forward to flaming down the Enemy. When Skerath is on your side, you can bet that her arsenal and power are at your disposal, fully.
Keeping Skerath busy is the best way to keep this green out of trouble. It's when she gets idle and restless that her claws and teeth seem to come out. Thankfully, this green will always defer to her rider; for her rider can do no wrong, and she will love them beyond words. While she will defer to Rhianth and some of the other golds, hissing and snarling with complaint, she will never hesitate, nor ever turn, on her most beloved chosen. And you can bet, she will love her rider for all time and for always.
Positive Traits: Cunning, Daring, Decisive
Negative Traits: Lonely, Surly, Violent
Adult Size: 20'
Physical Attributes: Skerath is a thin and petite boned green. She is swift on wing and a fast and agile flier. Unfortunately, she doesn't have much stamina to last long, especially when she's flying her fastest. She's a daredevil, and was built to be one.
Additional Notes: Skerath has unusually long and sharp claws that might need more periodic trimming than those of her peers. Her fangs are also just a hair longer than normal, giving her a slightly toothy look. When Skerath eats, you can best bet she wants nothing but bloody meat; and when she hunts, it will always be a messy affair.
As for flights...well. They will likely be bloody affairs, and as explosive as her mood. Still, there is the possibility someone out there might tame her heart, or at least cause her to be devoted for always... The question simply becomes who? Even if she were to fall in love, Skerath would likely keep it a bit of a secret.
Theme Song: Daughters of Darkness by Halestorm
Egg: Black and red, this egg almost gives off the appearance of blood. Don't dare come closer.
Why Me? Who else was there that could temper such a personality? Who else was there that might understand this fierce green? Iathe is the only Candidate worthy of her, as far as this green is concerned, and she will claw her way to the top of the top if that's where her rider wishes to go. She is well aware of her position as a green within High Reaches Weyr, but she will not let that deter Iathe's dreams, or her own capabilities. They are and will be amazing, and now that they have one another, nothing will stop them from reaching the stars. If she has to tear them down, one by one, she will do so for her most beloved Iathe!
Iathe's strength of will and character will be able to keep Skerath in line, and will earn nothing but respect from the dragon. Her honesty will keep Skerath honest, by nature, and any tricks or nastiness will (hopefully) not be tolerated. Skerath's cleverness and hard-working will match well with Iathe's drive, and this green will do anything to get her rider where she wants to be. Nothing will stand in their way, and anyone who tries will be torn and ripped into by this fierce green.
While it might not be obvious, Skerath will adore her rider above all else; while she might not be openly demonstrative in public, in private this green will turn a bit softer...just for Iathe. Every day, every moment, throughout their bond this green will give her all the love, power, and ferocity she might wish to wield, and ask for nothing but acceptance in return. Surely Iathe will love her. Surely, Iaethe will understand. She may sparkle like a gold..but is she not worth more than a dream or hope? Iathe will never be alone, never be without support, and (as far as Skerath is concerned) never have to compromise again. She will make their bond worth it; she will not fail her; she will not ever let her down.
