NAME: Vorscuth (vore-skooth)
AGE: Hatchling
COLOR: Green - Melanistic
RIDER: C’rys
RANK: Weyrling
SPEAKING COLOR: 424443
APPEARANCE: Though on the larger side for her color, reaching 43 feet at full growth, Vorscuth has the build of a typical green, lithe, slim, clearly built for speed. Her wings are slightly longer than usual for her color, though they are not wide, gaining her just a little more endurance at the cost of a little agility. Her hide is uniform in color and would be quite unremarkable, were it not black. She is melanistic, dark pigment covering up her true color, though in just the right light one might see just a hint of green in her hide.

PERSONALITY: Observant, Intelligent, Aloof, Petty
There is an air of mystery surrounding Vorscuth, the effect of which is made far greater due to her unusual dark coloring as a melanistic dragon. She is a quiet, solitary sort, far preferring to stay out of the spotlight and watch than participate. And she does watch. Everything. She is a veritable fountain of information about the goings on at the Weyr, from the mundane to the intriguing, and often finds herself in the possession of knowledge that could very well be detrimental for those involved if she ever deigned to share it. She is certainly not above using that information against anyone, either, if it serves her purposes. Like the Terran dragons of old, Vorscuth is a jealous hoarder, but what she hoards is knowledge, and her rider will be privy to all of it for she knows and curses her own draconic memory for being unable to retain it all herself. While she certainly won’t share every mundane detail she observes throughout the day, anything deemed interesting or important will be immediately shared with her rider for safekeeping.
Knowledge is power and while Vorscuth is not an overly ambitious dragon, she does enjoy having leverage over others, should they ever displease her, and she is rather easily offended. One should take care in allowing Vorscuth to be privy to anything sensitive, for when her anger flares she cares not for keeping secrets and has no problem breaking trust others put in her if her rider is unable to reign her in. She otherwise tends to keep her knowledge to herself and her rider, standing guard over the knowledge the two of them have amassed with all the suspicious ferocity of any queen guarding her clutch. She cares very little for the company of others unless they have something to offer her, and will be content with her rider as her only real companion. She may find some enjoyment in like-minded individuals, but those Vorscuth views as equals in intellect, whether dragon or human, will be few and far between.
A petty dragon, Vorscuth is a dragon that very much believes in ‘an eye for an eye’. She does not hold grudges, such a thing is difficult for a dragon, after all, considering how quickly their memory fades, not to mention she would not waste her time on such matters. However, when she is slighted, she will not hesitate to take swift action against her offender, in any way she can. This generally means using her observations and the knowledge she has amassed against them, but if she does not have anything substantial with which to get even, she may very well fall to more childish means and baser insults that are, honestly, below her. But her temper can and will get the better of her, if her rider isn’t able to keep it in check.
As if to further demonstrate that Vorscuth is better than, made for more than what the color heirarchy might dictate, she will not rise as often as many greens, and she will only accept a mate that is capable of outwitting and out performing her in the air, settling for no less.
