Doll by Meiker Elequinoa Power Princess

Name: Senube

Gender: female, aromantic, bisexual

Age: 19 at impression, currently 22

Origin: Craft-bred, with parents in beastcraft and medicine, so she's been exposed equally to both fields

Family: Mother and Father still alive working at the Weyr now, brought there by Senube after Impression, does not have any siblings, her mother was not expected to even have one child, and certainly none after the difficulties she experienced during her pregnancy

Height: over 6' tall

Build: muscular and strong limbed due to growing up with beastcraft needs

Skin: light toned with liberal moles and freckles, a few bite-mark scars here and there from dealing with canines, felines, and the occasional horse

Hair: platinum white, almost entirely devoid of color, which her parents thought might change over time. In fact it's because her mother was traumatized and nearly died while moving from crafthall to a weyr, during pregnancy - they've seen this feature in animals too, with the frosty fur typically growing out into a normal coat later, but... Senube's just has not done that and likely will never change; kept short but it has a mind of its own, she does enjoy the looks she gets from having it though!

Eyes: blue, smart looking, always seems quite interested and intense

Personality: Intense and focused on her own work and attentive to the needs of those around her if she's working in the infirmary or at the beast pens; large and in charge if she knows her business, but does know how to defer to authority when she is not in her own element; defensive and carfeful regarding people she doesn't know, but won't go actually picking a fight unless it presents itself; very big on permission and consent, given that both humans in an infirmary and animals in the field may have a lot to say about their treatment or lack of...; does tend toward a bit 'weird' and 'gross' and is intrigued by the dragons even with their oddities, because well I mean have you looked inside a body?!

History: Senube's parents fought hard for their lives and are superbly happy that their daughter is not only healthy and strong, but strong willed and smart. It cannot be said that she takes after only one or the other, her folks are both intense and intelligent in equal amounts, after all. She learned from a very early age that the world is odd and dangerous, but she has braved those oddities and dangers with style and confidence. Even as a very young child she was brave enough to face down a large tunnel snake, long enough for it to be killed by the large wher - that she also was unafraid of. Not to the point of fearlessness, she recognizes that there will be things she simply can't do or doesn't have the interest in, and knows her limits. While she's not afraid of heights, she doesn't care for large bodies of water, and is suitably impressed by those who brave it to retrieve deep water fish, or even just go out on journeys in boats. To her, the open skies are of far more interest.

But also, open books, open surgeries, and open eyes. She loves to learn, and is easily able to adapt new information to her existing skill set. What she's learned about whers and dragons, she originally discovered about flitters and snakes. Her curiosity is not at the cost of invading people's privacy, but she will definitely tilt an ear toward newcomers and make sure that they are as they present themselves before joining in a conversation. Even casually letting a secret out would be a disaster for some, so she respects that boundary unless it intrudes on other people's lives. She is able to understand intent just by the body language of those around her, and that was learned from watching horses and other animals around people. Some people don't see it, but the little things that affect the way a canine responds, or the posture of a horse, those tip her off to any untoward or sneaky people. The animals just know, right?

Never shy around the infirmary or in the beast pens, she's willing to roll up her sleeves, put her mucking boots on, and get in there to help where she can. Because she's a large young woman, people tend to think she's either dull witted or some kind of brute, but she loves the looks on their faces when she brings up the latest trend in surgical procedures, or the way a particular beast responds to a specific call or smell. She had been working for both the beastcraft and healer halls, before Search, Senumi's talents intersect and cannot be pried apart, even by Masters of either craft. Special accommodations were made for her to become a Journeyman at both, with a caveat that people know it's both, and not focused on humans or animals. Turns out, she'll be Albion's main healer, for beasts, humans, and dragons!

Her exposure to the dragons of this ... odder world, was quite limited for a long while. But though a large number of her peers were put off and even superstitious about their presence or appearance, the strange other-worldly aura of any given dragon, and particularly the one that Searched her, made her much more curious rather than afraid.

Yes, yes, they might have... well, squirmy parts. Fiercely burning eyes, dripping maws, echoing mind-voices that bring other people to a quivering fearful posture. But to her, those things make them what they are: defenders of a world, protectors, with their own mind and their own agenda.

So when one chose her, she made the decision to allow the appearance to flood over her: whether her dragon appears as she sees it with her eyes, the sleek and glittering obsidian gold queen, or as others might interpret the ghostly tendrils or seeking 'fingers' of her telekinetic power... She loves Loxfryth with all her heart, and makes sure that her needs are always attended to.

That said, Loxfryth does take advantage of this trust and love a little much. Where Lox wants to go, she goes. Sometimes while Senube is complaining that they needed to be heading the other way, or that there was a meeting they needed to attend. While for the most part the dragoness is sensible and will do those mundane things, if something sparks her interest, it's all Senube can do to keep her from uprooting a house to see a newly installed wine cellar (she loves the smell of those oak casks, oh yes) or speeding up into the clouds to check and make sure that no Thread is falling today (Lox... Lox I'm losing consciousness please go back where I can breathe...).

Name: Loxfryth (lox frith)
Species: Pernese Dragon; four legs with large clawed paws, two leather wings with three internal fingers, short claws, thumb attached with webbing; body is sturdy and large chested; head is chiseled, with two long headknobs, and neck ridges starting at forehead; ridges more prominent on lower back, tail; split ended tail, faceted eyes
Gender: Female, Queen
Color: Gold-Tone Obsidian; body and backs of wingsails quite richly black with sparkling of gold visible as highlights, belly from chin to mid tail paler charcoal with similar golden gleams, under wingsails also this color; eyes change but are often happily impish green
Size: medium-large (very large for Albion) 12' s / 50' l / 100' ws
Parents: progen, no relatives
Abilities: Winged Flight, Lox is stunningly strong and fast in the air, able to reach nearly atmospheric altitude shooting straight upwards. She can carry many humans and gear, though their jostling around is something needing to be addressed - only when she's with Senube and her medical gear will she fly less than break-neck speeds and keep her course at an even gait. She can carry dragons in her arms if they're around 10' at the shoulder or smaller, and as a rescue dragon this is essential
Teleportation, Loxfryth is one of those dragons that becomes truly energized when she's passed between for even a moment, and oddly (or perhaps not for her 'type') she seems to protect her rider and anyone else with her, from the terrors of that otherworld while she is moving through it. She has a very good memory for locations, landmarks, star charts, and even planets, and has found herself in some unusual places by letting her imagination drift a bit
Telepathy, as all Pernese dragons, she can mentally speak with her rider, humanoids, and all other dragons or intelligent creatures at will. She tends to listen to the chittering of flitters, they have the most fun things to talk about from a perspective that is often ignored by humans... her mental voice is powerful, dark, and has echoes that crackle like metal bearings striking marble
Telekinesis, she is quite capable of maneuvering small weights around herself, mostly for riders with gear to be comfortably settled while she flies, and can use this power if needed to aid in fighting Thread, seeming to pull it away from herself and her rider, including her tail and wing areas, so when they have to rescue someone in the field during Falls, it will not do any more damage to anyone as they go to and from the weyr infirmary or the skies
Carries Assisted Firebreath, she cannot flame, as a gold-based queen, but her offspring will have the ability to burn or ignite chemical compounds very hotly, and for longer duration than most
Personality: Complex and attentive, with her own agenda
Sociability: definitely enjoys being around lots of other dragons, people, whers, you name it
Intelligence: quite smart, a strong mind with a good memory
Mating: will only be interested if her rider is in the mood, though she knows she is highly desirable she will want an equally impressive mate
Threadfighting: aggressive if needed, but will prefer to defend and rescue
Other: loves to explore and learn, so she and Senube travel extensively, whether Senube instructs it or not...
