Physical Description: Fenharyn, now Fe'ryn, was always a lean, lanky kid and that fact didn't change too much as he grew into a man. After all of his growing was done, he came in to stand at six foot four. His quick metabolism made it hard to put on and keep any extra muscle or just extra weight, so he tends towards defaulting to a rangy build unless he makes a point to put some real effort into trying to do so. Fe'ryn has warm, light golden brown skin, expressive dark brown eyes, and short, curly black hair that he keeps brushed back and away from his face. Before his candidacy and during his candidate and weyrling days, he didn't pay too much mind to dressing nicely or with a mind to quality. Now as a fully fledged rider, he does keep an eye to practicality still, but he does like to get things that are of higher quality that perhaps lasts longer and help him cut a nicer figure, rather than 'eh, it works, it's clean, and it covers me'. Shirts tend to be on the loose side, but vests, jackets, and pants tend to be somewhat more flatteringly tailored.
Personality: Fe'ryn is a dutiful, responsible man who maintains a pretty strict work ethic, and is staunchly devoted to the mission he adheres to and the people that he work with and for. He may not always like or agree with things, but that won't stop him from upholding what is expected of him. It doesn't take much prompting either. The bronzerider is quick to pick up on the moods, body language, and tones of those around him. Fe'ryn is sensitive to those around him and does his best to be understanding.
A side effect of his empathetic nature is that he also tends to feel his moods and feelings strongly. When he's upset, he can be livid. When he's happy, he can be elated. If people around him are starting to get worked up, Fe'ryn tends to get swept up as well even if he isn't directly involved. This extra emotional awareness leads him to have this sort of anxious energy to him, which can translate to fidgeting, pacing, wandering focus, and so forth.
This also sometimes leads to some impulsivity on his part. His base things will be done, but he'll knee jerk take on more than he can handle task-wise, get intensely swept up in flightlust (or even find himself in romantic or physical entanglements outside of flightlust if things fall into place), find himself in conflicts that didn't involve him, etc. To try to stave off the worst of this, to try not to take on more than he can handle, Fe'ryn doesn't like letting people get too close emotionally, or even sometimes physically. He'll put up cool, prickly facades to keep people at arm's length. It takes a long, long time for him to feel comfortable enough to let the select people in on the more intimate portions of his life.
To best be prepared, for whatever may come, Fe'ryn makes a point to regularly brush up on texts or drills he may need to know. In day to day life, one can readily find many practical 'just-in-case' things stashed in his pockets or on his person. Little snacks, small bandages, folded up piece(s) of blank paper, a handkerchief, little things like that that could be useful to himself or others. Now, it might seem like a lot to carry around, but he's a neat person at heart. His weyr will be well ordered, everything he may carry goes to a specific or dedicated pocket or pouch. Alarasith helps nudge this into almost finickiness. After all, while Fe'ryn was tidy to start with, he and his bondmate are to be consistently well groomed and everything is well maintained.
Positive Trait List Dutiful, empathetic, prepared, neat

History: Fenharyn was born in High Reaches Hold to two loving though busy crafter parents. Dad was a farmcrafter, growing a few food crops, and mom was a woodcrafter as a ranger. Fenharyn knew early on that he wanted to work with his hands, but decided on pursuing becoming woodcrafter like his mom by the age of nine, went off to the Lemos Hold craft hall for official training, and by eleven he had settled into his growing interest with helping with finishing homes and other buildings as a thatcher. At nineteen, he was tagging along with a journeyman woodcrafter back to High Reaches Hold, partially for work, and in part to visit his folks and friends back home. It was during this visit that a searchrider had been making the rounds and they stopped the teen for a quick chat. They said that they thought he had the makings of a fine candidate for High Reaches, if he decided to answer the call. By this point, the journeyman he accompanied caught up with them. After some quick discussions, Fenharyn agreed to try his hand at candidacy. He didn't mind the work or the change in location. It wasn't such a drastic change of locale anyway. Turn in and turn out, he stood for the clutches that came, learning, making friends and rivals along the way, adjusting to Weyr life. Though going into his twenty-fifth turn, he still kept the nose to grindstone, but there did come the thoughts of 'well, this is going to be it. I've just one turn left standing before I return to my life as it had been before'. Fenharyn wasn't ever one to shy away from the duties expected of him, so he kept up his studies, his chores and tasks.
A gold clutched nearing the end of his last turn as a candidate. By this point, while he attended his duties, he had been starting to think ahead toward returning to his craft, maybe putting in the work to walking the tables. This, and his life, changed at the hatching that followed. Less than a month from aging out, his bonded found him, Alarasith. Weyrlinghood was a whirlwind, but nothing he hadn't been prepared for. Upon graduation he fell into his wing assignment well. When Thread returned, while it was scary, they had a job to do. It's what dragonriders were made for and the bronzerider pair were not about to slack on the people that relied on them.
Other: Fe'ryn has two green flits that are bonded to him, Noyali and Hila. He received Hila's egg during his time as a candidate and Noyali's came to him time a couple of turns after impressing. The two greens are lovingly referred to as "the little ladies" or "my girls". While they are decently well behaved, have some basic training, they are also spoiled rotten and know they can cute their way out of scoldings. They have their own nesting spaces in Fe'ryn's weyr, but if he ends up sleeping on his back, he usually wakes up to his two flits curled cozily up on his chest. Alarasith adores them and has been known to aid in them hiding if they've damaged something or done something potentially naughty.
DRAGON
Name: Alarasith
Age: 7
Color: Bronze
Size: 70'
Physical Description: A handsome fellow to be sure, this striking striped bronze comes in miniature. Maxed out at the very bottom of his color's size chart, if Alarasith is bothered at all by his stature, he makes no show of it. He still has all the stamina that one can expect of a bronze, but he's been shown to be able to make quite quick, tight maneuvers should the need arise. While pretty evenly proportioned, Alarasith has broad wings and a long tail that help him perform while on the wing. He has an average build. He's got a aquiline curve to his nose and slightly longer than average headknobs. On the ground and in the air, Alarasith has a smooth, measured way of moving, trying his best to always being cognizant of his surroundings and those around him to avoid bumping into them or infringing on personal space.
Personality: Alarasith fancies maybe becoming a father one day. He won't go about it by attempting to zip in and snipe a rising gold from the air. No indeed! He'll simply do his best to fly well, keep pace, put on a good show, put his best foot forward. A gold would have to deem him the right choice for her. Alarasith knows it won't be the end of the world if he can't catch the rising gold. He may be a bit disappointed, but definitely won't drown in his sorrows. If he doesn't sweep up with one of the other chasers, he's perfectly content to return to his ledge or find a friend to curl up with for a bit. Regardless of success or failure, he's a naturally paternal dragon. The bronze is fond of interacting with littles, new weyrlings, etc, and is perfectly happy to help watch, protect, or teach them if he gets the chance to.
While this bronze has fatherly aspirations, he doesn't seem to have too much preference in regards to color of potential romantic partners. He's pretty laid back and, while he's confident enough to pursue and dote over partners, he's also comfortable being pursued and letting his partner taking a more dominant role, regardless of whether they be chromatic or a fellow metallic. This bronze is one that is looking forward to giving his hearts to someone special. It will be said, however, that while he has that hope, among others, he also relatively passive. In weyrling training, His would sometimes need to nudge him along to achieve higher marks on assignments and the like. Content in his socializing and doing the basics of what needs to be done, Fe'ryn sometimes needs to remind him 'Hey, if you really want something, if you want to stand out, put a little more work, a little more effort in and you'll be closer to succeeding'.
He doesn't pay much heed to the color politics of HRW. Alarasith fully believes that whites, greens, blues, and browns are every bit as important in the scheme of things, every bit as capable as he is. They're just as much at risk when fighting Thread as he. He also doesn't have the ambitious drive to climb and claw his way into a position of power. The bronze is happiest when working alongside others to keep them and the Weyr at large safe. Let those who are hungry for power squabble and fight their way there. That doesn't appeal to him. Yes, there is some degree of leeway he has in HRW by virtue of being shelled a bronze, but he won't go out of his way to use it. He'll pull color rank in Threadfalls or conflicts if he absolutely needs to, but will likely seek out those he did pull rank afterward to discuss why he felt the need to intercede and will apologize if appropriate to do so.
Alarasith values good manners and open diplomatic communication. He's a gentleman at heart. He carries himself with poise and a sense of decorum. The bronze wants to be a good example, though he can become fussy about things. He and his must look nice and well groomed, their weyr/ledge have to be tidy and organized (after all, what if they get sudden guests?!), and he'll absolutely start fretting over rambunctious or fighting youngsters or younger dragons, hoping to bring peace and avoid outright physical violence if possible. The bronze means well and sincerely means the things he says and does. Over all, Alarasith is a dragon that tries to leave a positive mark on the world, on those around him. He tends to be pretty upbeat and tends to more quickly and easily shake any low or foul mood that may take hold. He's not a dragon for grudges. He'll be quick to forgive or move past trouble.
