Created/Updated: originally February of 2012, for dragons August 2021
Genetic Abilities: A genius mind, combined with deft hands and knowledgeable parents mean she is the inventor and mad scientist combo that Baeris and Bart sort of dreaded. Thankfully merely 'mad' and not 'insane'. If she's got access to tools and raw materials, she can and will simply make things and leave them sitting around with fully detailed instructions for their use. Her handwriting is impeccable. By the time you're done reading this sentence, she's memorized an entire mathematic theorem and applied it to several back-burnered projects. Does advanced calculus in her head, that kind of genius.
Physical Traits: apparently immortal with both sides of the gene pool exhibiting such a trait; an eye for detail, literally her vision and senses of touch and 'atmospheric pressure/humidity' are nearly three times as keen as a normal human. She can see tiny details of small items, the 'microprint' on paper money for instance, and seems to be able to distinguish far more colors and shades than her siblings (she may be tetrachromatic rather than trichromatic). Her fingers can discern that same print, though thankfully it's limited to her fingertips and not, as some Sangers around the place, 'everywhere'... With her ability to know altitude, temperature, and other such phenomenon, she makes a fine living barometer, but she does seem to have a bit of sensitivity when the weather changes radically. Which isn't a thing they realized could happen in the Healing Den until the other Hydra and malcontents moved out from their deeper water processing area... and she got a raging migraine on returning from that area going back up to the parking lot. Thankfully brief, she can take a few moments and relax, and whatever weather going on will no longer negatively affect her. She is incredibly precise, and just a little faster than a normal human, so she's been known to snap a gnat out of the air with her fingers, and exert only enough pressure on it to catch it, not kill it.
Personality: Rowena has incredibly high standards set for herself, and yet has never disappointed either herself or her parents. Scared them, yes. Absolutely. She's more picky than her siblings about who is around her at any given time, but that doesn't mean she won't just hang out in the game room chuckling to herself about the angles that billiards ball will go if hit just the right way. Challenging, but not really aggressively in anyone's face about their own activities, Rowena isn't trying to be better than others and show off how much cooler she is, she's trying to impress herself. She has a confidence in motion, surety in words, and a sense of style that is undeniable.
Skills and Profession: If 'gadgeteers' are found anywhere, she'd be among the masters of their guild. She has a strong knowledge of metals, physics, chemistry, and civil engineering, and will eagerly design things to be suitable to a specific location or person if she knows what to expect there. Always fiddling with things, whether it's a pocket watch or the airship's engines, Rowena will dive into her work. Knows how to read, create, and use blueprints, CAD software, on up to anvil and forge equipment, though she tends toward the quieter locations and devices if possible. She is the 'measure twice, cut once' mentality when she's building anything for a commission or to be given to anyone, or relied upon by other people. If she's making her own gadgets and doodads she'll just wing it, though they're ususally just fine too. Rowena might also be able to repair any of the Healing Den's facilities if they should ever break, though it's in question whether they exist outside of their pristine original condition even during big events. She crept around the entire place with her siblings but only she lingered in those sub-level steam tunnels and furnace areas.

Events and History: ..

Another Light broke out of his shell, this one a bronze. He stretched luxuriously, then turned away from the hopeful young men who'd unconsciously taken a step towards the metallic male. The hatchling didn't pay them any mind. He walked right up to a young woman of a certain lineage and looked up at her with loving eyes.

Rowena, my name is Haizanth. I do hope that I surpass your expectations? His hide shown like new polished bronze, almost orange as it shaded seamlessly into white.

He was already every bit the perfect dragon!

**

"Do you think we could piss them off?" Rowena whispered with a little chuckle, "you're neither traditionally bronze nor ridden by a man, that'd shake their mindsets."

I would love to do that. It's safe for them to be distracted, none of that 'Thread' falling anywhere.

"Oh goodie..." Rowena let her little chuckle evolve into a near-full mad-scientist laugh while she climbed to the shoulder of her beloved Light bronze. 'Light Light' she reminded herself, court and color both. Not that those Pernese folk in their half-backwards ways would recognize either of those things. 'It's just a trick of shadows', 'those headknobs are backwards'. ... He has headknobs, thank you very much, he also has horns.

Dragon

Name: Haizanth (HI zanth)
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium-Large 15' s
Colors: Light Court Light Bronze ** Light/Dark/Twilight pure Court offspring must only be clutched at Ryslen
Features: Light Court Ryslen, four large paws, two leather wings with wrist claws; head has slender forward-facing horns and neck has the tall and forward-curving Ryslen-crest; tail is bare
Powers: Winged Flight, Haizanth is a perfect Bronze - strong and durable in flight, and knows his buisness up there to say the least. Trained with Hollis and bronze Synesth, the only dragon he knows that is both bigger and faster as well as 'cooler' than himself, he yearns to be seen and loves to have the wind from his wake felt by those he leaves behind. He can be out-paced by those little blues, sure, and he might not catch the twisty turny greens or Alskyran purples and creams. But he is suited to the highest ranks when he looks to mate, and he absolutely will look to mate...
Teleportation, positive where he wants to be, where he is now, and where any given enemy might be. Whether it's Thread, a kaiju on the loose, or a queen in flight, he is on it or away from it in a flash. Does not tire from either offworld or localized teleportation, and has not been known to linger between too long - he isn't 'afraid' of the nonspace, but it does seem uncomfortably filled with things that should not exist
Verbal Speech and Telepathy, preferring telepathic speech, Hai will listen first and communicate only when he knows what he's dealing with. Just like his rider, he can assess minds and information equally well, though he is actually a bit better at understanding moods and emotions than she is. His range for telepathy is up to 50 miles, which is why he prefers it. His voice, while not 'quiet', is sometimes both chilling and flippant, the confidence he shows while doing anything extends to talking to people (particularly if casually - but not so much if there is serious business going on)
Fire Breath and Fireballs, he is somewhat closer to the 'typical' Old-World influence of the Courts, in that his breath can produce a brilliantly white-copper shaded flame, spitting it up to 400 meters accurately in a snipe, or fanning it around himself almost like a cocoon. It burns very hot and lingers longer than you'd expect, also Do Not Stare Directly At The Flames. They will definitely leave an afterimage. His fireball power is not unrelated to blowing smoke rings, but is not wholly a physical manifestation or 'spitting flames'. He can breathe a bit of superheated gas, and then 'somehow' magically(?) propel it to where it'll do the most damage, igniting it on impact. These fireballs can be tiny, football sized and with only a little pop to them, or massive, the size of an entire basketball court (what would a basketball court dragon look like?)(Rowena that is not a challenge please do not start making one) and with a concussive and super-hot explosion that would wreck said basketball arena. Those however take a bit of effort to create, the smaller explosions are of use for attracting attention, but the big ones need to either finish off the baddies, or bar the way so they cannot be followed, it's the last thing he would muster for that fight
Parentage: Mother: White Sinaeath; Father: Brown Andhayath, exclusively Light Court lineage
Origin: Ryslen Court Clutches
Other Info: where Rowena creates and designs, Haizanth is willing to go to the field testing stage. Eagerly showing off what his rider can make, and always interested in challenging the ways of those stodgy 'bronzes are for men only' types...
