Brief Description of Persona:

  • Tarina's height and slender build are misleading. Standing 5"8 and wieghing aproximatly 128lbs often at first glance one can spot what could be the gangly limbs of youth. But her long limbs have hidden strength, surprising men and woman both. She stands tall; her shoulders squared, and carries herself with her head held high unless she is trying to move about undetected. She can curl her body into a small hiding spots, almost as if double jointed (she is not). With her slight waist and hips she could be easily mistaken for a boy if wrapped in a cloak with her face covered.

    Her hair is long and black, like dark…the kind you see when you close your eyes, not the black blue of the midnight sky or the shadow black of a night time plain. The only part of her hair that is not black is a sliver streak that originates at the base of her head a little to the right of where her vertebrate connect to her skull. The length of her hair is great, falling to her waist in bone straight and soft. When her hair is down the silver streak is not visible unless she lifts her hair to show you…and she won’t. When her hair is bound up as she often does it is twisted around her head like a crown. She had found that long hair can often be a nuisance but she is unwilling to part with her locks. Her face is heart shaped, with lush lips.A hard life has given her face a hard set, fourtunatly the hard set of her mouth is softened by a feminine chin, dainty but not weak. Her nose is straight but too long in her opinion. Her cheekbones are high (another feature that soften the serious expression often found on her face) but her eyes are what most people notice, almond shaped and set wide in her face even when angry she appears innocent. Long black lashes frames silvery dark blue eyes that sparkle…her complexion is fair, though tanned from being out, her cheeks have a permanent rosy hue to the from years spent out doors.

    Her voice is soft and often she is asked to repeat herself…this can lead to her getting frustrated at which point she shouts….She has a large tattoo on the small of her back…it is not a picture of anything…more of a design, or tribal mark. About 7inches from top to bottom, she smiles mysteriously when she is asked about it. The palm of her left hand has a 3inch scar across it, from the tender flesh between her thumb and finger to inches below her pinky. Her right hand has a scar running the opposite way from between her middle and ring finger down to the soft pad at the base of her hand, just above her wrist. She also has a puncture scar on her left thigh. When asked about them she just smiles and turns away.

    Tarina tends to stick to dark colours stone grays, blacks and blues sometimes green when dressing. She is most often found garbed in stone gray tunics that are fitted to her slender form, and pants that hug her slim hips, her black boots are made of a soft material and cover her lower leg, the cuffs of her pants tucked into them. She often wraps herself in a long dark gray robe, the deep hood puller forwards hiding her face. The lining of her robe is a soft lightweight fur, dyed gray to match the outer material. She does not own much in the way of clothing, but she does have a few things of high quality. One of these things is a dress, snug fitting and trimmed with silver thread the dark blue dress is not something she often puts on. It lies at the bottom of her trunk.

  • Tarina is fairly soft spoken and she carries herself with great confidence and she appears open and trusting but is not. She knows that trust is something to be earned and that misplaced trust can be devastating. She is sure of herself and some consider her willful others call her defiant. She believes there are no limitations to what she can achieve this can cause her to behave in manors some consider loud mouthed and obnoxious. Her stubbornness can lead her to situations beyond her control.With in this tough exterior lies a young woman with a gentle touch and a loyal heart, once she gives her loyalty it is unconditional, but she does not readily give of her heart, it takes more than just a smile or a shared laugh.

    Brief Description of History:
  • For as long as she could remember Tarina had been with the holdless… though honestly she could only really remember as far back as about seven or eight. She had been found wandering the roads according to the ones who took her in, but that story like everything else in her life held only as much weight as she gave it. She learned quickly to live like they did, moving and hiding and taking what they needed to survive. But lets move into the present. It was spring and there was a gathering, there had been talk of taking advantage of the emptied holds as those who usually filled them went to join the festivities.

    Tarina had heard stories about gathering…tales of feasts and festivities…beautiful women and handsome men, shimmering dragons and playful flits. She decided she wanted to go. She asked the leader of her group for permission to travel to the gathering, under the premise of searching for potential contacts. The answer was of course a NO, she was too young to go by herself and there was no one to go with her, being the kind of girl she was she smiled and nodded and said of course she wouldn’t go. But she began making plans to leave that night. Knowing that if she was caught sneaking away there was a good chance she would be punished, but she still went. Leaving at dawn it took her five days traveling on foot, backtracking and covering her prints before she arrived.

    When she arrived Tarina did everything she could to blend in with the crounds but found herself staring wide eyes at everything. Dragons and their riders were every direction she looked. Flits darting about and tables and booths full of wonderful things. She had never been around somany people but it did not take her long to get over her awe and quickly she began to explore. She had only been in there a few hours when suddenly she was filled with a sense of dread. Looking over her shoulder she spotted a man whom appeared to be watching her intently. Her heart jumped into her throat and she fought the urge to run. He was big and rough looking and she wondered how they had tracked her down. She knew that she would be punished for running away. She slipped quietly between the crowds and hid behind a brightly coloured tent flap. Peeking around the corners she no longer saw the man. Sighing with relief she stood a moment to catch her breath, and felt a strong hand on her shoulder. Turning she found herself face to face with the large man who she had seen before. Panic over took her and she struggled to get away clawing at his fingers where he held onto her tunic.

    “Please she pleaded let me go…you can tell them you didn’t find me…they’ll believe you…. please.”.

    The man only stared blankly at her clearly he had no Idea what she was talking about, “My blue says you’re the one…. you’ve been searched…if they come looking for you they will have to wait until you’ve stood on the sands.” And so she found herself at Coral Reef Wyer, living as a candidate prepairing to stand at the next hatching. At that hatching she Impressed Green Tiatath.

    Description of Dragon:

  • Tiatath is a gentle little green hatchling. Her body is a lovely dark green with large whilrs of dark blueish green all over her hide, her wimg membranes are a deep sea colour. Her belly is a softer green than the rest of her. Her form is slight, in fact she might have been one of the smalles tfron her clutch.

    Taitath is a funny creature, reserved and cautiouse, often she is afraid to do anything without someone else taking the lead. But as soon as some one steps up to be first she is right there behind them. It could be said her favorite place to be is next. That is of course unless we are speaking of her human. As far as her girl goes she will take the lead. trying to protect her rider form any hurt.Tarinas discomfort in the wyers is made up for by Tiatah’s desire to help her feel like she belongs. And the little green will lead her human anywhere if she thinks it for the best, no matter what Tarina wants….
