Aspirant At: Descas, for Night Cophis & Ore Jasshos

Skills: Sarme is quite talented at acrobatic movement, squeezing through spaces that one might think impossible, or turning to face directions in improbable ways. But she is not necessarily a performer like her father or his troupe. She has concentrated her nimble hands on health care and helps with both human and drak medical needs. She's not a full on healer, but she acts as an aide during difficult processes, and helps keep people or draks either restrained or entertained while they're being worked on. She has picked up self-defense skills from some of the Knights and Ninjas, and uses many of those moves to keep herself safe if there is a combative patient or difficult drakling needing help.

Personality: Loving, gentle, and not outgoing enough to become a performer. She is quick to laugh and giggle but never at someone, always in order to get them to lighten up or be distracted. Otherwise she's somewhat quiet, on her own she likes to study about draks and other creatures, and she's quite good at observing people's behaviors and figuring out who needs a little laugh or some help, which she's always willing to give.

Background: the Troupe had been performing around Icarus for several years, and at any given town or castle, there were plenty of offers... Efoshiq, more mature and stable than some of them, found himself a father (possibly on more than one occasion). He took the infant back to Dun Keiba, and happily helped raise his girl Sarme with a few others that the troupe had... collected.

His talented daughter has grown up into a sleek and strong willed, but generous and gentle soul. It's only a coincidence that Efoshiq is bringing her to Descas - it was on the roster for potential hatchings... But it's where he paired with his lovely mud!

She'd been helping in the infirmary at DesCas until the call went out, and since she had made it clear where she'd be during the wait for the draklings to be brought out, it wasn't hard to find her... It was slightly harder to get her to leave off cataloging the medicinal pastes she was busy with!

But it was for the best cause, the best reason. She stood among those others Judged - Draks and humans alike. They prepared themselves as the mother, the lovely Cophis, strode out. "Thank you for coming to witness the mind pairing of thesse draklings," she said, and it was almost immediately after that when an Earth drak moved straight out from under her protective wings.

"My name is Pirosis," she said, and surprisingly managed to snip her drak-lisp a bit. Whether she'd done it to impress Sarme or her mother, no one knew.

Sarme's eyes brimmed with happy tears, and she led this beautiful sleek drak to their first shared meal. Well Sarme didn't eat the raw meat but she was hungry, so there was lunch on the way! They were going to head back to the infirmary, but for the time being, Pirosis and Sarme would get to lounge around just a bit. There were no emergency needs just now - she was assured over and over, to tend to the drak, learn how they moved and how they behaved. Of course she had been raised with the Troupe and theirs already!

But nothing was better than having her own beloved friend to learn with her!

**

Flint and Achaena were their trainers, not unlike the knights learning how to maneuver and fight or search for lost people. But they learned how to fly steady and carefully, carrying ungainly or imbalanced weights to simulate an unconscious person or even another drak. It was only after returning home to Dun Keiba, that they could truly shine - because there, at least, no one was going to stop Sarme from dangling under Pirosis and grabbing a person reaching out, or even doing a flip over her humming wings to avoid getting hit by a branch.

Acrobatic and sure of what was needed, Sarme taught Pirosis how to recognize whether a human needed to be lifted carefully or could withstand being grabbed in that manner, and together they would prove to be quite the field team.

 

Name: Pirosis
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: medium-small, 6'10" s / 25' l / 32' and 30' ws
Colors: Earth, soft medium brown body, and sparkling quartz-white mane, tail tip and wingsails
Features: Drak, four pawed legs, two pairs of leathery 3-fingered wings; boxy head and strong body, with huge mane and tail tip floof
Powers: Winged Flight, Pirosis is well equipped to handle field emergencies, with one of the most steady flights in the entire Castle. She is acrobatic like her knight, but also knows the limits of humans and will go to great lengths to make sure that their rescues or being carried by her aren't going to make their injuries worse. When they aren't carrying out medical duties, however, Pirosis is apt to let loose with eager and delightful loops and hovering tricks to allow Sarme to show off that she really is an acrobat's daughter!
Portal, Pirosis produces a quick portal that she generally uses only one way - to get right back to the Castle's infirmary airspace. They've built a landing area for such things, and she uses it with just enough space and time above before landing, to give off a distinctive bellow alerting those inside to her arrival
Verbal Speech, she has practiced since the day she hatched, to enunciate like a human! Sometimes she does 'slip up', but she is the only one who thinks that's a problem. Sarme is fine with whatever purrs and growls, rolled r's and hissed s's draks use, but she is also quite proud that the drak's speech is almost able to pass as human!
Acid Spit, she tends not to use this attack, only a few times has it been needed, when they were retrieving a fallen Knight from a Nex attack; inaccurate, but strong enough in its potency that she only needs to splat a few wads of this stuff in the way of a Nex that they know she means business and avoid it
Parentage: Mother Night Cophis, father Ore Jasshos
Origin: DesCas
Other Info: Ever so slightly pretentious, Pirosis knows her mind about pretty much everything, even if she has never been around something... But Sarme can break her stubborn streak, asking just the right questions to make extra sure that she 'believes that', or 'understands this'. Pirosis is no fool, she knows she needs to recognize issues instantly and act swiftly to save lives, but sometimes - early in her life - she made mistakes that led to difficulty in healing or added injuries. Lessons learned the hard way, she dedicated herself to doing the right thing after that point.
