Physical Description of Persona:
Most people would not believe that M’trel is his age. On cursory inspection, he carries himself with the quiet poise of someone confident, someone older than his Turns, but there are no lines to his young face yet. His brown eyes are dark and mirthful and his smile is shy but genuine. At 5’10, he has a dragonrider’s fit build and while his tenor voice can be heard if he wants, he prefers to speak quietly. His wardrobe consists of mostly earth tones. He wears a copper bracelet on his right wrist.

Emotional Description of Persona:
M’trel is an intellectual sort of person. He’s not so lost in his head to come off as socially awkward -- he’s just the type of guy to gather information first before reacting and has a lot of thoughts going on at all times. This can be seen most in his mannerisms: that extra pause before replying, tapping the side of his cheek while thinking, idly patting his pockets as though he’s looking for an answer there. But M’trel smiles often, makes certain to greet people when they enter his presence, and listens intently to others’ speaking. His entire demeanor is calm because of Turns working with injured and scared animals.

M’trel isn’t one for conflict. Someone yelling tends to make him shut down emotionally and senseless violence sends him into a fit of impotent anger. Since stepping into Wingthird, he has been studying how to be a better leader, working on what he perceives as inadequacies within himself. While still not confident in romance, he does enjoy going on adventurous dates. With friends, he loves catching up over morning klah.

History of Persona:
Born Makitrel at Emerald Falls Hold, he spent his first decade helping his mother take care of the three other boys she had birthed. In between watching his siblings though, Makitrel fell in love with runners, and would often sneak out in between naps to help with the stables. It earned him a few tongue lashings from his father, who wanted Makitrel to go into another Craft, but his mother’s encouragement combined with the stablemaster’s assessment allowed Makitrel to apprentice into beasthealing at the age of fourteen.

Fear prevented him from presenting himself as a Candidate to the Searchriders, even though Makitrel said it was because he wanted to work with runners more than dragons, but eventually, at a master’s insistence, Makitrel went with the Searchriders to Dolphin Cove Weyr -- where his life changed forever.

Noruith wasted no time picking him out and at the age of eighteen, M’trel now had a new trajectory in life. He applied his studious nature to weyrlinghood, impressing Wingleaders with his responsibility and strength in logistics. His biggest hurdle was adjusting to the fluidity of relationships and sex at the Weyr, something he still struggles with, but he learned that keeping his mind open was a better tactic in life than remaining hidebound closed mentally. He didn’t expect to be tapped as a Wingthird so young but he was, at the age of twenty-seven.

Dragon's Name: Noruith
Dragon's Age: 11
Dragon's Hatching Date: m12 d2
Dragon's Colour: Brown
Description of Dragon:
Description: Noruith is a lovely mocha brown with peanut-cream wings and lighter coffee highlights to his hide in the sun. He is a very solidly built dragon, just above medium in size.

Noruith, like his rider, is quite intelligent, but where his rider is still learning leadership skills, Noruith has that down pat. There is no question in his mind what to do once he’s decided and even mistakes are seen as learning experiences. He can be quite particular about what green he flies and tends to spend most of his time conversing with bronzes rather than wasting breath on shallow chatter.
