Name: Rowena Jankowski

Gender: Female, bisexual

Age/DOB: ~15, Aged, RY5 (late)

Origin: Twoarthish Rookery with Repurposed/Rookery parents

Family: Mother Indigo, father Redd Jankowski, brother Indred Paveh, uncle Spencer, first 15 Color Guard 'aunties' and by distant extension the Lanes

Other: Spends a good amount of time at Carramba even after schooling is done, highly likely to continue there for dragonry purposes

Height: 5'8"

Weight: 100ish Icarus-like features appear to be innate including physical features, she's very slender and lithe, a lot of people want to feed her because 'she's so skinny' but it isn't skinny, she's just lean and healthy that way

Hair: cornflower blue, thick and straight, styled with upturned ends, kept around shoulders

Eyes: hazel greenish, a pale shade somewhere closer to sage than leaf green, strong eyelashes, under well maintained brows

Appearance: medium skin with freckles and some moles, with full somewhat 'disapproving' lips, and 'she has her daddy's ears doesn't she'; has a husky voice, and a big vocabulary; wears the Icarus outfit anyway, with accessories, and no socks under those big boots

Icarus Processing: None necessary, as her mother was created in a lab, and dad's treatments went well. The combination seems to allow the effects to be there, even without processing. She did however have skill downloads and was aged from a toddler into a tween in order to fully exploit their presence in Carramba

Skills or Profession: designed for leadership though not necessarily 'political' leading, Rowena is quite capable in large groups, gatherings, and meeting halls. She rarely needs to raise her voice, and relies more on her telepathic abilities, and has been given downloads for psychology, sociology, logistics, and behavior sciences. As such she takes classes for bolstering those features, as well as filling in any gaps. She's still quite young, so 'profession' isn't really present yet, but it's very clear that she's exceptionally good with large groups and events, so she might eventually be relied upon to shuffle people around in the Rookery, but far more likely she'll wait it out on Twoarth - because she really does like having modern plumbing and less grit in the air...

Events or History: Indigo's second child, only slightly younger than her brother Indred. But because the Rookery had been established by then, and Indigo realized the potential for such crossover work, she dug around in the records for who could best exploit powers that Indred doesn't show specifically. The rugged Redd fit the bill, and while Indred was being Icarus treated and aged, himself, she was busy with her new daughter. Rowena basically went straight from Carramba's childcare rooms as a child to care for, to the roster of those caring for those young kids, when she was aged and 'skilled up' herself. Always a quiet, observant girl, she does sometimes get excited about things, usually the chances to be around dragons and their riders. She admits that the thrill turns a bit scary when she's visited the Rookery proper - because those are serious fighting dragons, and serious troops on the line. Though she doesn't really show how intimidated she is by Paxton, she certainly is, and keeps a fair distance even though she can easily communicate to and through him. Whenever she does that, she claims 'he leaves a weird ashy aftertaste' in her mind, almost like walking through a Vortal cobweb.

After taking one of H'lis's dragonry courses she began a search of her own - she knew she was cut out for dragons, just finding the right one to befriend. On the Rookery, then, near the newly placed 'collection plate' portal (to keep strays from falling into the wrong Combine hands) she met up with Vesper and has gone on to develop quite the rapport with him. They reside among Carramba's students for the time being, and it's very likely that they will remain there on Twoarth to keep things moving smoothly. It is definitely possible she'll become an instructor, but she also wants to get some fully realized professional degrees in sociology and cultural engineering before deciding what subjects she'd be able or willing to teach.

Dragon

Features: Seraphwing as shown
Powers: Winged Flight, quite clearly a dragon with four huge wings like his will be strong in the air. He absolutely lives up to that, and can fly both quickly and durably. He is a big dragon, though, and requires a good amount of lead time to get off the ground and into a pattern, and once he's up there, also needs space to stretch. Though his body is long and narrow with long legs, his wings are just massive, and because of his length he also requires turn areas that are a bit more than normal. That said, he can keep up with the Big Boys, big bronze Pernese dragons, even some of the Rookery's biggest dragons can be matched by his endurance, though he would never pretend to out-do any of them. He knows his limits, and after all he's at school to learn and not just show off. He can lift a lot, and because of how his wings are situated, anything he begins pulling up will be remarkably stable once they get going, after probably a bit of a lurch here and there to get off the ground. Because he has large spines on his neck it's unlikely to allow people to ride him in that way, as Rowena sits behind his head or along one shoulder hanging on to those spines, but he can carry a bus full of kids without any trouble with a specially made harness, leaving his limbs free to manipulate things and land properly once they get where they're going. Yes, he loves taking classes on field trips!
Communication, Vesper primarily knows English and understands Vortigese with help from his rider. He has exposure to his native Draconic, but since he knows he's not likely to return to the Pyrrhan dimension at all, he hasn't bothered becoming good at it. He speaks with a So-Cal lilt, surprisingly for such a big dragon he sounds like a local already. He lacks other Vortal senses.
Ice Breath, to a limited degree, Vesper is able to chill air with his breath weapon, and he will never be one of those big fighter types spewing ice blocks everywhere. He produces fog and special effects for drama classes, sports events, and half-time shows, laser productions love to have him around so that their lightshows can be seen easily in the faint frosty air. He can breathe a very wide cone of delicate ice particles that will hang in the air depending on the ambient temperature, and he could probably walk through the entire Carramba sports event field (which is equitable to a full sized professional football stadium) carefully laying down these patches without tiring or running out of frost. Depending on the temperature around the area affected, it can last for a full day, or just a few hours, so it's likely that if there is a lot of warm air coming through, or a big event with lots of hot bodies involved, someone else should come through and chill the place down overall, before he does his part - which... well, that's why he's taking classes for it! Team work!

Other Info: Vesper was quite young when he found the portal to the Rookery, so he is equitable in many ways to a teenager himself, though he's quite large and physically more or less matured. He takes dragon-centric classes at Carramba, while his friend is busy with her own.
