Origin of Name: Ileneth is named after the original voice actress, Ilene Woods. About 400 contestants auditioned for the role of Cinderella. Out of them all, Walt Disney chose Ilene Woods, who worked on the radio at the time and did not know anything about the audition. One day, her colleagues Mack David and Jerry Livingston asked her to sing a song from Cinderella, and she agreed. Then, without saying a word to her, friends of Ilene transferred to the office of film Disney. After listening to the material, Walt Disney immediately decided that he had found the voice with which to speak and sing its main character, and contacted Ilene.
Inspiration: A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes -- Cinderella
"A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes" is a song written and composed by Mack David, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston for the Walt Disney film Cinderella (1950). In the song Cinderella (as sung by Ilene Woods)
encourages her animal friends to never stop dreaming, and that theme continues throughout the entire story. The theme of the song was taken from Franz Liszt's Etude No. 9 Ricordanza of the Transcendental Etudes.
Thematically, the lyrics recall the sentiments expressed in "When You Wish upon a Star" from Pinocchio (1940). In equating a dream with a wish, the song establishes that Cinderella is using the word "dream" in the metaphorical sense of desires that can, as the lyric promises, "come true." "When You Wish Upon A Star" makes this same promise, as does other Disney material. The literal meaning of the word, as something that happens "when you're fast asleep", reappears in another Disney song, "Once Upon a Dream" from Sleeping Beauty (1959).
Personality: Ileneth might be small for a green, but there is no doubt she is one of the sweeties of her clutch. This green dragon is gentle on all accounts; she doesn't move forcefully or aggressively, she doesn't speak loudly, and moves softly in everything she does. She is tender of personality, and is the sort of dragon who lives in hope.
No matter how rough things get, no matter how bad life can seem, Ileneth looks towards the future. Things will get better, evil will be overcome, and good will conquer all. She is the sort of green who knows her limits, but that doesn't stop her from dreaming of the future, and hoping for the best outcome possible. When her clutchmates or rider seem down, this green is always there to provide support.
Empathetic, even for a dragon, Ileneth would never cause undue harm. Though she feasts on meat, she never eats more than her fair share, and certainly will try to hunt quickly and swiftly so as not to cause undue pain or strife. She grows sad when her loved ones are sad, but also shares in their joys; she hurts for them when they have broken hearts, but cheers for them when they succeed in a goal. She is a supportive green, and will always be there for her family and rider.
Unfortunately, Ileneth can be naive. Her hope for the future, her desire for goodness to conquer all, can sometimes make her blind to the reality of a situation. Sometimes evil does triumph, or someone is just plain awful. There are certain dragons who will easily take advantage of her good nature, and she will be tricked, used, and abused without a second thought for the devastation it might cause her. It will be up to her rider to try to keep Ileneth from falling into a more cunning or manipulative dragon's clutches.
Furthermore, as a naive green, Ileneth can be a bit inhibited. She is very modest for a green and tends to keep herself conservative. She likes having curfews. She doesn't really care for crowds or parties, and certainly doesn't know anything about boys or maiden flights! This green can easily be put to blush (or the dragon equivalent) and might well keep herself from trying new things due to more conservative and naive ideas.
Additionally, she's known to be emotional, especially when she does find a situation hopeless, or her dreams crushed. Grief comes easy for such a sensitive heart, and her hearts bruise deeply. Her rider will need to be there for her when life hands her lemons, and help her through the hardships and circumstances where there is no happy ending.
Positive Traits: Empathetic, Gentle, Hopeful
Negative Traits: Naive, Emotional, Inhibited
Adult Size: 23'
Physical Attributes: Ileneth is an average sized green, but with little feet and hands. She does look, perhaps, a bit oddly proportioned but her small feet don't seem to stop her from moving! She has large eyes, even for a dragon, and always seems to displays expressive mixes of color. Her wings are also a bit small for her size, but allow her to make tight turns while in air.
Additional Notes: Ileneth has a very expressive warble and seems to like to sing or hum melodiously. She's a bit shy about expressing it, but her rider will hear her do so when they're together. She also seems to have a fondness for animals, and won't hesitate to cuddle up to any wher, or even some of the feeding livestock.
Flights will be an emotional time for Ileneth. She might well fall in love with every dragon who catches her, believing them to be her true Hearts Desire. Whether or not that's the case....well, her rider might need to break the news gently that such a thing might not be the case.

Theme Song: A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes by Lily James
Egg: A small orange egg with pale yellow stars. It rests quietly to the side, and doesn't seem to be vying for any sort of attention.
Why Me? Sayuri's unassuming, shy, and quiet nature initially attracted Ileneth to her. But it was her big heart, and her love for those in need that made her stay. Sayuri's compassionate and caring nature are exactly what this delicate and empathic little green needs. She needs someone who is as soft and tender as not to spook her or force her into the limelight; but someone who has a nurturing soul and might help draw her out of her shell.
Sayuri's hard-work ethic will give Ileneth the direction she's lacking. In turn, this green will be there to support her efforts caring the sick, and to keep them both out of trouble. She knows that Sayuri doesn't care for conflict, but luckily enough, this green is one of the least troublesome out of both clutches!
By Impressing to Sayuri, Ileneth is is proof that the girl is meant to be in the Weyr, and meant to shine. The green's hopeful and supportive nature, matched with Sayuri'drive, will make them most welcome in any Wing they're tapped into.

The little green cheeped now and then at the Candidates as she passed. There were so many, and she felt terribly alone and exposed. Worse, she felt quite distressed by everybody's fear! Her eyes whirled a yellow-white, and though she tried very hard to cut through the fear, it...
It was just too much.
She stumbled, and gave a mournful keen. Her eyes whirled a white yellow, the strong emotions practically overwhelming her. So many were scared, so many were frightened, so many were sad, anxious, angry. Nobody seemed happy! But... But maybe.... Maybe she could make someone happier.
Sayurimine. Please, your Ileneth needs you. Everyone is so sad and I... I won't be able to make them any happier and may even make it worse. Oh, it was so tragic to the green's delicate hearts. Practically unbearable. I... I am sorry that I might hurt those who yearn for Theirs, but... But only you are meant for me. Might I bring joy to your heart? Might I make your dream come true? The crumpled green looked up, trying hard to catch Her chosen's eye.
