Appearance: Daphnerith is a lithe little green with short limbs, reaching 38 feet at full growth. She has an overall rather average build for a green. If not for her wings, she probably wouldn’t be very noteworthy in her appearance. Sage and dark forest green cover her body in equal measure. The forest green covers most of her head and about half way down her throat where it fades back into sage, but her eyeridges are also sage. There are two patches of forest green farther down her neck near the base, on either side, extending slightly onto her chest. Her lower chest and the backsides of her legs are also forest green, with it extending from her hips to her tail, and nearly covering her entire tail. A large patch of forest green can also be found on her sides beneath her wings. A pale minty sort of green also covers her spine, starting at the ridges on her head and ending at the ridges on her tail, while also extending down her forelegs to just above her feet, and up her wing arms. A small patch of pale green can also be found on her knees. Her wings are a patchwork of all three greens, with several large patches of forest green edged by pale green and sage green in-between. The same pattern covers both sides of her wings.
Personality: Dramatic/Passionate, Thrill-seeker, Stubborn, Externally Motivated
Daphnerith has a certain dignified way of walking, but holds her wings lazily – it’s not that she doesn’t have the strength, she thinks her wings are lovely – and so they flare out a little when she walks out of habit. She does have the ability to bring her wings in tight against her body, but usually only does this in play.
Perhaps no golden queen, but she’s a queen in her own realm. This green is a drama queen. Whether happy or unhappy, she can be rather loud and makes sure that all know what she’s feeling. She is passionate and has a flamboyant flair. She’s outgoing and not afraid to talk to others that are not her rider. As long as things are going her way, she’s a very fun and pleasant dragon to be around.
She loves challenges and the thrill of doing new things. She has little fear when it comes to facing the unknown. In flight she’ll be somewhat of a daredevil, and will need to be kept in check so she doesn’t do anything too reckless. During Threadfall she’s especially excitable. That said, she will learn to fly very well and spend a lot of her time in the air when she’s allowed (and perhaps when she’s not…). One of her signature moves will be hovering without moving much in the air. She also keeps busy – if not flying, she’ll be playing – if not playing, she’ll be practicing a move or being loud about one thing or another. And it’s not that she can’t sit still and enjoy something beautiful, it’s that she doesn’t like to wait for things, she loves instantaneous gratification.
At the end of her long days she loves to come back to her weyr and be comfortable. She’ll make sure her belongings, pillows, rocks, whatever she has deemed comfortable are set just right as she curls up near her rider. Though she doesn’t seem clingy during the day, at night she likes to be as close to her rider as she can – as she gets bigger she’ll probably have her rider move her bed as close to her own sleeping quarters, so she can rest her tail somewhere on or near her rider.
This green is immune to anything said badly about herself. She knows that she and her rider are the best and anything said otherwise is ridiculous. Only the best for her and her rider, since, you know, they are the best. The exception for this will be what her rider says about her, she is a bit more emotionally receptive from her bonded, sometimes her own mood reflecting what her rider is feeling.
This dragon also has a sense of integrity, for the most part. She’s honest anyways, she would never tell a lie outright. It’s all about asking the right questions and you’ll get an honest answer out of her. She finds it amusing to answer questions like “Can you please do this?” with a, “yes, I can,” waiting for the right question for the answer they really wanted. Similarly, if she feels guilty or other playful moods, will decide to answer honestly, but with craft where it won’t give away either her or her rider. As for following the rules, it won’t be so difficult to convince her to do something if it means she gets to do something exciting, or gets something she ‘needs’ or wants – but she is the kind who would tell on herself afterward (if she remembers to do so). Daphnerith is extrinsically motivated; if she gets something in return, getting her to do something won’t be so difficult.
That being said, she does not like to be told what to do. Her rider will have to get creative in getting her dragon to do things without making it sound like a command – it will be the best way of suggesting this fiery green into action. Once motivated or set on something, this green will get fixated on what she’s doing and anyone will have a hard time getting her off the subject until she feels like she’s done or exceeded.
When it comes to rising, this green will expect a whole hoard of suitors following her. The first part of her flight will probably be flirting and goading blues or any of the males into action – and once she feels like there are enough in pursuit, she’ll fly until either she gets tired or a male appeals to her humble vanity. She doesn’t need to be told how wonderful she is, but she certainly enjoys the attention, especially during flights.
Likes: Sweet Smelling things, pretty gifts with her green colors, green grapes, anything green
Dislikes: a mild annoyance with golds (especially if they act superior to her)
