Unabashedly loud and proud, R'ose (formerly Renose) is a massive force of...something. Unashamed of who he is or what he does, he marches to the beat of an ever-changing drum and tries to drag along those he considers friends. Always up for a challenge or a test, he believes he can excel no matter what the odds or obstacles in his path.
R'ose has recently Impressed to the lovely Green Sahrawith, and is slowly adapting to a new way of life where his words and actions weigh heavy on someone other than himself. It is a struggle, but nothing more than a fun challenge than the teen and his dragon cannot overcome together.

R'ose's nameday is 05.09/May 01. Sahrawith hatched on 04.07/Apr 01. R'ose Impressed at age 17. Sahrawith has allowed herself to be called "Sawi", though just who is allowed is tbd.
If there was ever a dragonet hatched to see the world, it would be Sahrawith. From the very first moment her wings break shell, she'll want to use them to discover every corner of Pern, charted and uncharted. Nothing would please Sahrawith more than if her bondmate chose to turn their back on Weyrs and duty. However, she does have a niggling sense of guilt over how easy it would be to leave it all behind. She has a deep love for her family, and it is more than convenient that a number of her clutchmates are across Pern from her! It's just a lovely excuse to explore.
If anyone is basing the success of their venture on Sahrawith's participation, they might as well give up now, unless they're hoping to con someone into taking them some place they're not meant to be. She's terribly good at that, although it's a little unclear whether such glibness will serve her well in the long run. Talking herself into trouble probably isn't the brightest plan, but even this shining star has her dim moments.
And oh my goodness, there are shiny things to enjoy! Please, let her try that caprine, and-- wait, come back with that bit of sparkle! If left to her own devices she might have trouble getting off of the ground, for all of the glittering accessories that she'll want to wear. Of course, it's entirely possible that her rider won't be in a position to spoil her as much as she might wish, but in that case just leave it to her phenomenal silver tongue. Where there's a will, there's a way, and Sahrawith is willing to waggle her way to success if that's what it takes.
To believe her, she's been to the Red Star herself. Visited Ista lately? Sahrawith has. And it was pretty rad. She's got stories, each a little less believable than the last, but the important thing is that the listener is entertained, isn't it? When it comes to facing reality she's hard to tie down, and she wants nothing to do with day to day life unless she has something to look forward to. So, why not spice it up a bit?
Green Sahrawith Written by Mx Cherie Colored by demon_pachabel
Origin of Name: The origin of the name Sahrawith is simply Sahrawi, one of the many names of Moroccan Mint tea. It is the name of a people living in the Western part of the Sahara desert. Sahrawi is derived from the Arabic word for desert, Sahra. Descended from a Berber tribe, and the Arabic, Islamic warrior tribes that overtook their people, the Sahrawi are a part of a complex caste based society. At the top is the warrior caste, followed by the scholar caste, the professional caste, the laborer caste, the servant caste, and finally the slaves. As with many people in the region, the Sahrawi are of a very mixed descent - the region was once the nexus of trade, and as such a wealth of genetic diversity exists in and near Morocco. The use of camels for long journeys was not endemic to the Sahrawi, but they are camel traders to this day.
Inspiration: Moroccan Mint Tea
The great Moroccan scholar Muhammad Ibn Battuta, born in the 14th century, traveled throughout the Muslim world, and far beyond, even so far as China. It is in China where he was thought to have encountered tea, if the record of his travels is to be believed. Tea may have come into use in Morocco as early as two centuries before that time, but it is unclear what the actual timeline might have been. If the tea plant was imported by Ibn Battuta, it took a winding route to return with him to his homeland.
When preparing mint tea, one boils the tea with half a liter of water. The tea is then strained to remove any particles. While the tea is hot, one stirs in sugar, and then finally adds fresh mint leaves. In wintertime, mint leaves are sometimes replaced by wormwood leaves, which do not have as sweet of a flavor. Gunpowder green tea is commonly used to form the base, or else some other strong Chinese tea.
Depending on the brewer, a more complicated method may be used, which involves several ceremonial steps. The tea is served three times by tradition, and there is a proverb that quite accurately describes the flavor at each presentation.
"The first glass is as gentle as life, the second is as strong as love, the third is as bitter as death."
Personality: If there was ever a dragonet hatched to see the world, it would be Sahrawith. From the very first moment her wings break shell, she'll want to use them to discover every corner of Pern, charted and uncharted. Nothing would please Sahrawith more than if her bondmate chose to turn their back on Weyrs and duty. However, she does have a niggling sense of guilt over how easy it would be to leave it all behind.

Adult Size: 20' Physical Attributes: Visually stunning, Sahrawith is a pale green with intricate patterns on her wings and back. She is a fairly delicate creature, on the smaller side for a Green.
Additional Notes: Super best friends with Zhuchath. In fact, there might be a little more than friendship there, but don't tell anyone. Shh. When it comes to Flights, Sahrawith is going to be a wild one. The sky isn't just the limit, it's the goal!
Why Me? Renose is just the right kind of wrong for Sahrawith! She loves how free spirited he is, and how he marches to the beat of his own drum. When it comes to getting her way, she could use a few pointers. C'mon, Renose, let's go! There's a whole world to see, and Sahrawith just wants to get started! If he chafes at the restraints imposed by duty, she's stifled by them. Nothing and no one can hold her back from her end goal, and maybe he'd like to be there to see it through.
