Legit my dudes I just can't keep track of most of my own plots and relations so I'm gonna make a bunch of text below here to map out who's got what going on and all that. Then I'll remember things better, and people can easily suss out what I might need, or where holes to be filled with plots are!
Please note that very few of my characters have plot armor. What that means is that most of my characters may get hurt or die, at any time, and without future notice. Life is erratic and unexpected. If I play your character's spouse, sibling, child, parent, friend, enemy, if their time comes, it comes. If we had ICly planned something, there is always a chance it may never get to happen. Death is normal, and a part of life on Pern, especially following thread's return. Please do not hesitate to talk to me about our plots as they may be effected, but aside from those characters marked with plot armor, please know that, well...life, and death, happen.
Summary: Zezollath is just about at the age where she's set to start noticing the boys... and that's set to be a bit of a problem for her. She'll realize fairly quickly what sort of male she'd like—but the trouble is that it's mostly those males that are well 'above' her rank and status, and really have no business giving her the time of day. While she's happy to be friends with any dragon, it's bronzes that catch her eye, specifically big, handsome bronzes. She's going to be prone to falling hard and fast, and then getting her hearts broken when she realizes that she's been taken advantage of, or that just because a male flies you, it doesn't mean he loves you.
Looking For: 1-2 blue or brown, and 1-2 bronzes to break her hearts. Males she can fall for, who might either tolerate her attention because it's amusing or cute, but have no plans to settle down with her. Can be the more free-spirited type, who indulge her affections but then scarper once they realize she's going to be clingy, or can be the more hit-it-and-quit-it types, who feign interest in her just to get her to do things for them, then leave once they get bored/what they want. **Please note!! I do NOT want males that will end up falling for her back—she already has a long-term plan in the works behind the scenes, so her one-true-love-at-last spot is filled! I AM OKAY with males who dump her, and then later might realize they threw away the best thing in their lives, and regret it—just understand that she's already got HER forever lined up, so this request is NOT for happy-ending drgs.
Full Personality:
Zezollath is a green who knows exactly where her place in the world is...and she accepts such a place quietly and without complaint. She knows she is just a green, but she also knows there is much more to her than the Weyr might see. She is a green who is incredibly industrious and hard working; when she's given a task, she will complete it, and she will complete it well. She isn't afraid to get her hands dirty, and knows that she has much to prove to the world. She may be green, but she is strong, she is reliable, and she is unafraid!
Well. At least, she tries to be.
Another source of pride with Zezollath is how supportive she can be. She is the sort of green who will not hesitate to be there for her clutchsibs, or her rider, during their times of need. When they are in pain, Zezollath will be at their sides; when they need someone to cry to, or fall upon in their most desperate hour, this green will have nothing but open wings and love to pour upon them. This also feeds into her work effort; as a wingrider, Zezollath will make a name for herself by being there, and not letting her wingmates or Wingleaders down.
Most of all, Zezollath is a green who has always been a lover of love, in all its shapes and forms. She loves her clutch-siblings, she loves her parents, she loves her Weyr, and above all else, she loves her rider. Like mother like daughter, Zezollath has nothing but love to give and she does so freely. Love, to her, is something that shouldn't be hidden or kept secret. Love, to her, is the most important trait she could give, and ever be given in return. Thankfully, this little green has love to give in droves, and she is not at all shy about showing it, especially to her beloved rider. Nobody will ever top her view of them!
Ah, but this little green does have her flaws. In her pursuit of showing the world how worthy of love she is, Zezollath is known to be self-sacrificing. Sometimes her desire to support becomes problematic and she spreads herself too thin; sometimes, she pushes herself beyond what she should have and winds up hurting herself in the process. She is a dragon who doesn't always know how to say no, or at least, would willingly sacrifice herself than harm someone else. No matter how hurt she might be, or how difficult the task might be, this green would rather suffer silently then someone else be unhappy.
Furthermore, she's known to be a bit clingy. She doesn't like to be alone, and will find it difficult when her rider is away. Being left alone is a surefire way to distress the poor green; while she won't necessarily say anything, she will tend to pine and mourn while Theirs is away or distant. This poor green just cant help it. A part of her just wants to be needed.
Lastly, and perhaps most secret of all, is how badly Zezollath loves extravagance. When she dreams, she dreams big and boldly; she wants the biggest, most handsome bronze to be Hers. She wants the fattest and most tender herdbeast. She wants her oil to be scented with perfumes, or for the Wingleaders to give her the approval and praise she knows she and Hers are worth. She wants her mother's attention and favored love. This green loves decadence, but knows she is just a green, and possibly unworthy of such things. So she tucks her desire for such things away, and tries hard to keep it a secret. She tries so hard to be humble, but another part of her just wants to have the cream instead of the milk.

L'an – ♂ – 47 – Western Weyr Pansexual, aromantic Warm sunshine, a light breeze, a line in the water—L'an is more than experienced, but this cool cucumber of a greenrider's definitely the catch of the day. He's seen most of Pern in his time as a rider, and there's no one more ready to just relax with for a casual day together. He isn't the type to demand your attention long-term, but he's always down to reel in a partner or two when they just need to unwind! Pros: Supportive, disciplined, patient, unflappable. Cons: Permissive, dispassionate, unambitious. Likes: Relaxing, fishing, people who approach him, strings-free attachments. Dislikes: People who get super serious, needy people, storms.

Saed is a true wonder, wrapped up in alluring silks and heady incense, studded head to toe with glitter and glitz. But all this isn't just for show, they're a true creature of luxury, and would just love to pull you into their tent for a feast for the senses that would make any hedonist's head spin.

X' – ⚥ – 32 – Western Weyr Demisexual, demiromantic Sometimes you have to weather the storm to get to the sunshine, and X understands that more than most. For those willing to take the time to approach with caution and an open mind, they might find the ultimate respite in X's company, full of long contentedly quiet moments just watching the rain or staying up late to see stars falling. The bombastic need not apply—they need a quieter, gentler touch! Pros: Placid, introspective, patient, selfless. Cons: Gloomy, antisocial, comes across as aloof, vague. Likes: Quiet moments, rain, meditation, long walks on the beach just before dawn in silence. Dislikes: Courtesans and anything to do with them, especially brothel work, parties.

Zunulth – ♂ – 10 – Western Weyr Asexual, demiromantic A literal white knight, this dragon is ready to charge into the fray to defend what’s right!

Flight History So you want to flesh out your dragon's history, want to boost an ego or set up a plot-hook. That's great! I've listed below my assorted FEMALE DRAGONS' unclaimed 'caught by' slots from their pasts. Note that these flights happened off-screen or before the shop's IC timeline began, so there won't be any accompanying RP with them, but they're still useful for building up histories and whatnot! I have added the assorted locations greens have history at for quicker reference for correct-location characters. Note that flights were NOT location-restricted though, so anyone could have won any flight up to the recent political fall-out. For full character info, please refer to my journal. Please note that I am not listing my male drgs, as they can chase all the dang time. If you want your lady to have been flown by my guy (or gal!) just let me know! Updated: 7/26/19.
