Green Acteuth - Krista

[Loony]

NAME: Acteuth (ack-tay-uth)
AGE: Hatchling
COLOR: Green
RIDER: --
RANK: Weyrling
SPEAKING COLOR: 8eb153

APPEARANCE: Acteuth is the smallest dragon in her clutch, reaching only 36 feet long at full growth, lanky with a rather overly long tail that tends to drag behind her. Her rider will need to keep a particular eye on her tail when bathing and oiling as it will be prone to rough hide and sores if ignored. Her wings are particularly slim, indicating a clear lack of endurance but making it far easier for her to maneuver. Agility will be her greatest strength in the air and acrobatics will come naturally to her. She is mainly a muted sort of leafy green in color, with a darker green covering the upper half of her face and extending down her neck to her shoulders. A streak of this green can also be found on her wings and tail. A yellow-green covers her wingarms and edges her wings, as well as covering the last half of her tail and the upper parts of her headnobs. A very pale yellow-green covers all four of her legs and the ridges on her head and neck, along with the outermost tips of her wings. Two thin stripes of this pale color can also be found along the sides of her neck and ribcage. A very dark, forest green covers her lower belly and extends half way down her tail, as well along the outer edge of her wings.

PERSONALITY: Sympathetic, Restless, Messy, Ditzy
Acteuth isn’t the most graceful of creatures, despite her small dainty size compared to her larger siblings, but she just might have the largest heart. She just wants to help, she just wants to make things better – but before asking how she can help, she’ll charge in with good intentions and make a mess. She does a lot of doing before thinking, following her strong sympathy for those who seem to be in pain, she does a lot of assuming – like if someone is so happy that they’re crying, they must need a hug! But how does a dragon give a hug? Acteuth’s well meaning can be dangerous if her rider isn’t conscious of her dragon’s movements. For the reason of her good heart, she’ll gladly and almost thoughtlessly talk to people who are not her rider, enjoying the company of random people, or even a bird – though she’s not quite sensitive enough to realize that she makes someone uncomfortable, until maybe they start crying.

This green is always moving, or part of her is always moving. She’s a restless soul, though she doesn’t always know what she wants to do, she just wants to do something. She has a hard time focusing on things and is very, very, very easily distracted- even possibly in the middle of her own sentence or trail of thought she’ll be onto another. When she’s younger it will be more difficult to contain her movement, as she gets older, probably a lot older, she’ll be able to take her restlessness and contain it to one limb, or maybe a tapping talon, instead of her whole body (which might make cleaning and oiling difficult). Fighting Thread will be the thing that she can focus on the most, but her rider will still need to make sure the dragon doesn’t leave her wing to try and help someone who gets hit as she’ll want to help somewhere that is more likely to cause more trouble than be helpful.

It seems fitting that while she can’t stop moving, that this green is notorious for the messes she will make. Playing with her food, rolling in the dirt, splashing in puddles – she loves different textures and will explore and enjoy each one – as if for the first time. She enjoys life very thoroughly, like she was a child – enjoying each rainbow as if it were the first time seeing one, every time. While her body is constantly moving, one wonders what actually goes on in Acteuth’s brain. She likes to make connections, so will search her rider’s mind and find the first thing that has one – or at least, she thinks they do. Her logic doesn’t always make sense, and her thought patterns are mostly random and a little silly. Her good soul can’t comprehend that anyone would ever be mean, so words just seem like a joke, until someone’s tone matches their anger they probably won’t affect her. Even then – she might find it funny, but most of the time if someone yells at her, growls at her, she’ll mope for a bit – until she’s well distracted onto something else, which shouldn’t be too difficult.

When it comes to rising, Acteuth will have a very hard time choosing who she will let catch her. She might make a choice five times before actually choosing, or by the time she’s ready to choose – ends up being caught. While she won’t really care who catches her, she might care if her rider cares – being the most sympathetic to her rider will make it easier to change her mind fewer times.
