General Information
Name: Tiramnet (teer AHM net)
Nickname: Tira (TEER uh), Tramine
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Rank: Greenweyrling
Appearance
Hair: Pale silver, Tira's hair is well-cared for despite the odd color, and kept about shoulder-height. Usually it's up in a short runner-tail for simplicity, and she's constantly tossing her bangs out of her eyes.
Eyes: Dark red in bright light, and a deep violet color in most light, Tira's eyes are odd, to say the least. Her vision is poor due to the lack of pigmentation in her iris, and she often has to squint to focus. In order to get good depth perception, she has to either flick her eyes back and forth or wave her head slightly side to side, which can make her look downright silly.
Height: 5'7", a little taller than average for a Pernese woman, Tira doesn't even seem to realize her height, with good posture and a tendency to push aside any taller than her.
Over-All: Tira's albinism has been the source of much grief for her from her birth. Extraordinarily sensitive to sunlight, she usually wears long sleeves and fingerless gloves, as well as long pants. She always takes very good care of her skin, applying the salves to protect it from the sun every morning, as well as those to keep it supple and heal any sunburn she might acquire every night. She sometimes accentuates her outfit with a scarf if the sun is particularly glaring.
Because of her odd appearance, Tira takes great care in selecting her clothing, so that she always looks attractive, if vaguely boyish or androgynous, due to her general lack of curves. One of her peculiarities is that she once tattooed herself, though only on the back of her hands, with a dye similar to woad. But as she wears her fingerless gloves all the time anyway, nobody ever sees them, and she gets a vague sense of glee anytime anyone lectures her on her "abnormalcy," since they don't know the half of it. On her left hand is a dragon in a spiral, and on the right an identical dragon in a reverse spiral. She has two piercings in her left ear.
At Freseath's last Hatching, she was 'mauled' by bronze Morreliath, leaving her with scratches and three puncture wounds on her arms. They would leave faint silver scars on her pale skin, and three pocks where his talons sunk in.
Personality
Used to being tormented, Tira can be a faintly antagonistic person, especially about her appearance. She has quite a temper and is perfectly willing to call you out if you do something she feels is wrong. Her sense of vengeance and justice is also quite honed, and she is of the opinion that revenge is best served when you don't expect it at all--so watch out if you gain her emnity! Tira's grudges have a lifespan longer than her own, and though her anger may simmer out of sight, if she was truly angry and not just irked, you have trouble coming your way... sometime.
However, the same personality traits that make her a terrible enemy make her a wonderfully loyal friend. She is perfectly willing to attack someone who is bothering one of her few friends, and once you gain her trust, it will take an act of true betrayal to break such a trust. Her absolute trust of her friends can be irritating at times, because she will defend them even if they are blatantly in the wrong. One of her most annoying traits, though, is her romantic streak. Tira tends to fall incredibly hard for the most unavailable men, and then is too shy to tell them. Besides that, she's completely horrible at flirting, and even when someone is clearly interested in her, she can't seem to tell.
Her truest loves are the hunting-birds she trains, though, and Tira is perfectly willing to give up anything to tend to them, the closest she can come to flying. But her dragon she loves the most of all.
History
Born to herding parents, Tiramnet was born on Midwinter, in the middle of a blizzard, surrounded by the herds of woolies in a cave that her parents had found and taken shelter in. With white hair and violet-red eyes, Tira looked like her color had been stolen by the winter outside, and her parents were never comfortable around the child. Those first Turns of her life were a constant adventure, growing up with only woolies and canines as her companions and protectors. It was here that she fell in love with the sky and the mountains.
Eventually, the small herding family brought the flock and the child back to Sanctum, leaving the young girl with a relative and taking another flock out into the mountains to raise and tend. The independent girl soon grew to hate the children who cruelly taunted her, always escaping chores and lessons to roam the mountains, which she knew far better than the treachery of the dangers of the Hold. Introduced to the lizardhawks by a relative, a beastcrafter who thought to distract her from the mountains, her cousin mistakenly refused to allow her to tend to them.
The girl, thwarted, took matters into her own hand, running away from the Hold with enough supplies--barely--for the mountains. When she returned, nearly four months later, it was with a lizardhawk of her own, well-trained, if yet young and untested by a winter. Thus began her obsession with flight, and the girl tended to her charge with undying care. Eventually, she gained two others, both different breeds, and became the most knowledgeable on the topic of the birds. However, she refused to apprentice to anyone, saying that she would forge her own way--and her own craft, if necessary!
Searched in the Weyr, she Stood for Freseath's last Clutch. Barely mauled by the bronze hatchling Morreliath, Tira gained a touch of antagonism towards the two Candidates who tried to 'save' her, especially when one Impressed the bronze dragon he had body-slammed. Her Impression shortly after to green Nikeath came as quite a surprise to the girl, who was quite willing to let the green be the wild creature she had been Hatched, rather than curb her behavior with anything besides gentle persuasion.
Family:
[/center]Father: Telron, herder
Mother: Ramnia, herder
Aunt (foster-mother): Ollere, no craft
Uncle (foster-father): Pattin, beastcrafter
Cousin (foster-brother): Norepar, beastcrafter
Animals in her life:
Canines (herddogs, belong to parents):
~Fang, hound.
~Lad, hound.
~Lass, bitch.
Lizardhawks (owned):
~Sky, female. On par with a Terran gyrfalcon, in terms of coloration/size. Four legs, two wings. Her first hunting-hawk.
~Rage, female. About the size of a Terran red-tailed hawk, Rage is a "true" lizardhawk, in the sense that her stoops are fast enough to snatch a firelizard from the sky before it can go between. In coloration, she is a tawny cream color, with blue-tipped wing feathers and a tail of near-black blue. Her other markings are similar to those of a Terran peregrine falcon. Four legs, two wings.
~Swift, male. About the size of Rage, Swift is a nighthawk, hunting only at night. Dark-colored and spotted, he is similar to a Terran owl in ability, though he appears far more similar to other lizardhawks. The most vocal of the birds Tira owns. Four legs, two wings.
Firelizards (Impressed):
~Tiny, green. A very small and usually terrified creature, this little green suffered a broken wing shortly after Hatching, but Impressed to Tira while the falconer splinted the fracture. Olive in color, with a darker ring around the end of her tail and a near-black spot on her broken right wing, she is a pretty enough creature, if not a stunning one. Skinny now, she will never get fat, always remaining dainty and slender. Though she will eventually regain flight, and be little the worse for wear despite her mishap at Hatching, Tiny will always prefer to be carried about, hiding on her minething, rather than frolicking through the air with her own kind.

Color code: 586655
Physical Description: From the moment she hatched, Nikeath has been large, an eye-catcher of a green if only for her size, and that size is not likely to change. At hatching she is the size of a brown dragonet, and though she'll likely never reach the size of her brown brothers in adulthood, it is a reasonable guess that she will match her blue brothers with ease. Her wings are positively massive, more stream-cut than most greens, and her body is built long, lean and muscular, the toning rippling beneath her skin with every motion. No doubt this is a dragon possessing an uncanny amount of strength, for each of her movements alludes to her predatory nature. She has a disproportionately long tail, noticably so, and the wedge at the end is strangely long and slender, built more like the end of a dagger or a sword than most dragons. This long tail will not be likely to help her in flight, though it will doubtlessly be a good way for her to express her emotions as it functions much like a whip - deadly fast and startlingly strong. Woe betide the fool who gets in its way when she is in a bad mood.
Nikeath's colour seems to make up for the startling nature of her build, for at first glance she is nothing extraordinary. Her hide is a grayish green best described as the color of the sky just before a twister touches down, a dusty green that is considerably more muted in color than most of her clutchmates. However, on closer examination, someone looking at her might notice that around her backridges and spreading down her tail, there seems to be almost 'needlework' lighter greens, as if someone took glittering green thread and sewed it into her hide for accentwork. Her ridges themselves are darker and more gray in hue than the bulk of her hide, as are the edges of her wings. Around her eyes are the only traces of typical green color - forest green masking that will likely earn her teasing nicknames like bandit until people and dragons alike realize just what a mistake teasing Nikeath truly is.
Personality: Nikeath is the green who should have been a bronze. Extremely calm and composed, this dragon commands an air of authority unlike any of her colour; maybe it's her size, or perhaps because of the fact that she will take no grief from anyone (And indeed this applies even to her rider - she demands respect and will settle for nothing short of it!), but this is one dragon whose temper most people will refuse to trifle with. Intelligent beyond what most would consider normal for a green, Nikeath has a warrior's heart and ambition - never will she settle, never will she be satisfied for second best. She is a hard worker, willing to push herself beyond what most would consider the normal limits of a dragon, in order to prove that she truly deserves as much acknowledgment as any bronze - her ambition is limitless, and her fears nonexistent. Nothing can stop her when she puts her mind to it, and the things she wants, she goes after with a fierce determination. Obstacles are moved, gone around or simply destroyed in the process. Let nothing stand in the way of her accomplishing her goals.
Despite the fact that this green can and will make life hard for her rider for awhile (for she will demand an extraordinary amount of attention to keep her in line and she has a temper to rival any queen's), it will become obvious immediately that Nikeath is not just selfish and goal oriented. She is also an extremely brave friend who considers her bonded the most important person in the world and no one's word is higher, not even a queen's. Bold as she is, she is the type to defend her lifemate's actions unto her own death if it so comes to pass, even if she knows she's wrong. Fiercely loyal to a fault, she will not allow anyone to push Hers around, and she most definitely will not stand for anyone mistreating her. But she is not just vicious - no, this green is positively brilliant with thinking up elaborate schemes to avoid taking the fall for the things she wants. While she'll doubtlessly get herself into trouble, expect her to find ways to pin anything she does wrong off on others --- and to help her rider do the same!
