Appearance:
Retny is a tall woman at six foot one with a rather slender and shapely build. She always looks like she is ready to move at any second as she often is, but usually it's more for a dance or a bow. She likes to be engaged and she likes to be engaging and interesting to other people and it shows in the way she carries herself with pride. Though her often determined and sometimes scowling face may not convey such an idea.
That's right. One may be hard pressed to find Retny truly smiling as if she means it. her tendency is to put on an act and run with it for the benefit of herself and those around her. Retny usually wears pants and a top, but she will also wear a skirt over her pants as she feels it is more feminine. This is usually a rather short and loose skirt designed not to get in her way. She paid quite a bit in having most of these made for herself, though many are made out of tougher fabrics and are often a dark color such as black.
Retny's long dark hair is often loose around her frame from day to day, but when she is flying, it is braided and curled up around her head. In fact, much of the time her hair is this way, which is, when she lets it loose, lends to its almost curled appearance. Her dark eyes can be piercing when she is angry or upset. Some may feel her expression is looking right through them. Her dark tan skin is often times smooth, though she does get sunburned from time to time which she hates.
Retny has high cheekbones, a small mouth and full lips. Her nose is a bit on the larger size, a fact she does not particularly like, but overall, Retny truly believes herself to be beautiful.
Personality:
Retny looks down on others who have certain... dis-likable traits, especially those who have negative traits similar to her own as she subconsciously holds a hate for the negative things in herself. And yet, her attention seeking self is the same an as it has always been since she was a child. Retny truly believes that she deserves to be loved - that she should be loved and she will strive to attain that. She is very sociable and willing to take time for anyone and everyone - considering that she typically gets more attention when she does. Attention, loyalty and the love of others around he are things she feels she has earned and deserves simply for being who she is.
Retny takes her position in the Weyr very seriously and presents herself as she feels she should. Most of the time. Retny likes to have fun and draw attention to herself. She loves the party atmosphere and has been known to let loose at some times - only duty can hold her back, and that is when she actually has something she is supposed to be doing at said party. She likes to be the example of a leader who can be fun, rather than one that can be super serious. She likes to appear in control - no matter how wild she may be acting, though that is a bit difficult and she can be easily accused of not quite being that in control self she tries to present.
Retny will always dress and groom to be immaculate as she wishes to not only attract eyes but show everyone what a real queen rider should look like, at least in her own mind.
History:
Retny was the product of a green's flight - in which her greenrider father chose to lock his door as his dragon rose with his weyrmate inside with him. It was the first time he had attempted such a thing and that day, it worked. Their daughter was born shortly after, but the man and his weyrmate had a falling out and he left them both to their own devices even before Retny’s birth.
Retny grew up knowing her mother, but her father had been a nameless green rider to her who never really took the time to see his daughter. Of course, she didn't think about that too much. She was happy with her mother and being raised as a weyrbrat had its perks. She had more freedom - never knowing the restrictions of a Hold. Her life was full of freedoms and she learned of responsibility. She wasn't a particularly popular child and envied those who were. Her envy, however, would turn to vanity as she grew older and she did get the attention she felt she deserved. Oh, but it wasn't without work. Especially as she pushed and pushed to be a leader amongst her peers. It was definitely not easy to attain such a spot in the eyes of others. But for those who did follow the child Retny, they hardly noticed how much of a snob she could be towards others, so often thinking she is better than them and looking down on the world around her, if only subconsciously. She will often snub them or turn them away, treating them as if they are not worth her time.
She would soon be leading people into trouble as a candidate. And of course, her desire for attention from the male Candidates around her was not well hidden during this time. Her candidacy was not uneventful - far from it. Much happened to her. The one person that she truly loved and cared for her, her mother, passed on due to a sickness, leaving her daughter behind. This made Retny feel more alone than before, even though she was surrounded by people in the Weyr. That might have brought on more of her attention seeking nature.
She was only fourteen. Her creche siblings were not exactly all she wanted. but she took to the Candidate master as a surrogate to her mother. And as she did, she became more and more interested in leadership and found more and more value in it. She took all her responsibilities extremely seriously - almost too seriously according to some. In fact, when put in charge of her group during a lesson, Retny went a little overboard in enforcing the rules, leading to another disciplinary action - primarily being more chores.
Turns passed and she stood. And she stood. And she stood... and she stood... From the time she was thirteen to the time she was twenty without Impressing. She wouldn't give up. She couldn't. She was bordering on her twenty-first turn. It would be the last time she would stand. And it would seem that it was well worth the wait. The Rainbow broke from her shell and approached the girl who had given up on Impressing and who had been so angry about it.
Retny, my darling, I am your Orikaeth. I will be with you and you will be with me. You are Mine and I am Yours. There is a world to be taken by storm.
She had been chosen and not only that, by a Queen. A Rainbow. She felt pride that they shared. Pride in each other. Pride in general. They were who they were and they were powerful. As they left the sands they approached the feeding tables to the side of the sands to the applause and much to Orikaeth's great satisfaction - the praises of others.
They would soon find that there was much more to their position than either one of them was truly prepared for. The young Queen was not truly in love with her responsibilities, though Retny took them quite seriously. Despite the fact that, as the fourth Queen, she knew that when it came time, she would be moved on, transferred away. Retny did her best to make Orikaeth do her best as well for Sky Mountain.
However, delinquency on their part was not rare and earned them quite the reputation. Especially that first night after Orikaeth was old enough for Retny to drink again. She still doesn't remember that night at all.
They wanted to be loved. They wanted to be important, but even when they both are, they have always had trouble seeing it. Retny knew where she hoped to be transferred. And she pushed for that transfer. Rainbow Mists Weyr lacked a Junior Weyrwoman. It was the perfect place for her to establish herself and take a place of prominence in a Weyr. Orikaeth liked the notion that she could be worshiped there and would be more important. Thus she did not have any complaints. In the end, Rainbow Mists Weyr would be the Weyr to make sense. Though the Queen there was also rather young. But, Sky Mountain put in for her transfer there. After all, they were on good terms with Rainbow Mists Weyr. Why wouldn't they give them a queen?
Adoption?: No. NPC is okay if she is necessary should something happen.
Dragon's Name: Orikaeth
Dragon’s Gender: Female
Dragon's Age: 2 Turns
Dragon's Color: Rainbow
Speech colors: ed1c24 00a651 6dcff6 f7941d fff200 0072bc 630460
Dragon's Appearance:
Orikaeth is small for a rainbow, but has a wingspan which could rival a Cloud's in proportion to her body. her wings are gangly to her and rather annoying. They get in her way often enough. She is only 37 feet in length, though, as state before, her wingspan is of an abnormally large size
Orikaeth is a swirled rainbow dragoness with little rhyme or reason to her coloring. It does not, in some places, even follow the traditional pattern of a rainbow where it begins with red and ends with violet, but rather, reds, oranges and yellows swirl together with greens, blues and purples to create a dragoness of great variation, which is only added to by her metallic hide. However, there is softness to her colors as the blend together and into each other at the edges, only adding to her beauty.
Orikaeth carries herself with great pride and significance and has her own ideas of what matters and what does not. It shows. She tends to appear to look down on the rest of Pern and the dragons around her, though truly, she doesn’t. She does, however, wear her pride on her sleeve so to speak.
Dragon's Personality:
Orikaeth enjoys gossip. She even enjoys the company of greens as they provide her with entertainment, such as by how some enjoy gossiping, though she believes herself to be quite a bit better than them overall because she is a queen and they are not. She will treat them well, all things considered and will strive to have all of them look to her and regard her well. She wishes to surround herself with a large crowd of dragon friends and worshipers. she loves to catch the attention of kings and their love. However, she does express jealousy as one would expect, though, in fact, she is quite jealous when another dragoness earns more attention from a king than she.
She and Retny share their need of affirmation and love from many. It is one of the things which binds them together. And one of the things that drives them to take the world by storm is that need of affirmation from others.
Orikaeth considers herself to be quite something and is a very driven queen. She wants to be much and be made much of and she shows this in the way that she acts. She thinks too highly of herself sometimes. She can have quite the temper when she is proved wrong. Her shame is always manifested as anger towards another dragon or person - usually whoever brought her down.
Orikaeth can often be a bit of a hypocrite, giving others advice that, truly, she should follow herself. Though most of it are things that Retny tells her anyways. To Orikaeth, Retny is the greatest person in the world - the only one worthy of every ounce of her love and the only one who will ever love her as such as well. Because, despite her pride and her need to have the affirmation and love of others, Orikaeth is not as confident as she would appear. She does not feel as worthy as she believes herself to be. In fact, many of her other personality traits, including her perceived pride are manifestations of the inadequacy that she often feels.
This dragon, however, is not easily daunted and will take on others without a second thought. Her lack of confidence is something that she is determined does not exist and something she works around and through with practice.
Dragon's History:
Orikaeth was born to Rainbow Alaseareth as her first Queen daughter and the fourth Queen of Sky Mountain Weyr. She didn't like her position too much just starting out. It was hard to take the world by storm when there were so many others who came before you, after all. You couldn't even be number two. She had a big bold personality and she wanted to share it with everyone and be loved. But she wasn't the only rainbow either which didn't help her case as if she had been the only one of her color, it might have made it a bit easier. She was jealous of the other queen's at a young age for the attention they got from the older Kings though she did gain some from those who were around her own age.
Orikaeth grew and her personality only grew with her. She was not happy to be so much smaller than the other queens, an entire two feet than the next youngest queen as it were, and hated that the others mentioned it. However, she learned that her small size and huge wingspan did have its advantages, allowing her to fly faster and perform more aerial maneuvers. Though not nearly as many or as well as the smaller dragons, whom she envied for their carefree lives. They didn't have to worry about a world to take and prove themselves too. They were so free.
She couldn't much care for the leadership she was born into other than the attention that it brought her. She didn't feel much love because of those attentions, though, and so she would work hard to be fun and entertaining to others, despite what trouble she would sometime get herself and Retny into. The young Rainbow was not pleased to leave behind those she supposed to be her friends when she came to be two Turns old and mature enough to fly. As she had known before, even, that she was going to be sent away along with Hers. Of course, this could be the start of something brand new. And it was with that knowledge and the idea that she could be the second queen of a Weyr, someone of importance, that she seized the idea of going and taking on the world elsewhere - at Rainbow Mists Weyr as it were. This seemed so very fitting to her, being a Rainbow.
