Thirty

Winter

Male

Appearance
Iro'ris is in rather good shape for a man of his age, mainly from his previous duties as a Weyr Cook. He's constantly running around, so he remains fairly slim. He's not muscular, but nor is he flabby. Always busy, he usually has a smattering of facial hair. His blond hair is also usually a bit longer than necessary, because he just doesn't have time to cut it! Scars dot his hands from playing with his pet cats, and burns line his arms from accidents in the kitchen. He has bright blue eyes that are usually red-rimmed from his fellis addiction.
Personality
The Weyrling is a bit of a hippy, to tell the truth. He's all for peace and love, and thus takes no sides in the Rebellion.. All of his cats are named after flowers, and the man probably doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He's always helpful and kind and sweet, and rarely gets angry (this is aided by his fellis addiction).
Since he previous worked in the kitchens, Iro'ris has ample opportunity to get his hands on fellis juice... and thus, he does. He has a rather severe addiction to fellis, and cannot go a day without it. As a result, he is extraordinarily calm and peaceful, which just pairs up perfectly with his normal personality. Iro, as is he commonly known, loves animals. Never Searched for a Candidate, he took to adopting cats. He loves all animals, but cats just found a special place in his heart, and thus he owns six.
Though previously envious of riders, the Weyrling doesn't let it show, and treats them all the same, if not a bit curtly. After all, live and let live, peace, love, and fellis and all of that. The healers would obviously be able to tell he is addicted to fellis, but he isn't very open about it like he is with nearly everything else.

History
Iromineelmris was born in Trelis Weyr to a Drudge named Tris. She died during labor, leaving him to be raised by the Weyr Headwoman or whoever had time for him, really. He grew up calm and collected, with no real ambitions. He was never searched, and was shunted from place to place in the Weyr until he finally ended up in the kitchens, where he performed reasonably well, and that is where he stayed.
His life from the point where he was old enough to work was just that... work. He envied the Weyrbrats that were chosen for Candidacy, but he never was. At age twenty, he gave up on that dream, and just focused on his work, trying hard to ignore the riders around him, envious of even the lowliest Dragonrider.
Throughout his life he adopted cats that he found. At twenty-five turns, he ended up with two cats he named Thistle and Rose. Every year since then, they have had a litter of kittens, and he has kept one kitten from each. Now he owns six cats, and is rather happy with his life. He still envies Dragonriders, but not to the point that he used to. He is now able to make friends with them.
When the Rebellion started, he took no sides. At the Uprising, he again took no sides, since he really has no input in the decisions anyway.
When things get too rough, however, he drowns himself in fellis and lies prone for hours and hours, which gets him a good swat from the head cook... but hey. Sometimes life sucks, and so he takes a good dose of fellis each and every day to keep himself from going insane.
Iromineelmris first started taking fellis when he sustained a particularly bad burn in the kitchens. The healers gave him a small dose, and from then on... he was hooked. Iro immediately became addicted, and started taking fellis each and every day, usually lacing his morning klah with it.
He first started "collecting" cats around the same time. With the addiction, he was even calmer than usual, and just found the cats piling up. He couldn't just abandon them, after all, so he took them in and tried to find them homes, but if he couldn't... he kept them. After all, he was lonely with all the work of being a cook, and liked having them around as companions.
The fellis and the cats both help him when life gets out of hand. Though calm, he often feels overwhelmed by the amount of work he has, and thus feels like his head is going to explode, which is why he loves fellis so much.
At Trelis, he made a very close friend in J'degar, and at the hatching of Izanycorth and Kayath's eggs, Impressed Topaz Saekath from the Stands, something he never expected to happen.
The Lion Topaz on the other hand was simply sitting there, looking up at the stands where her... cousin had made such a mess. What a pitiful creature. And so ugly and homely too. Hmph. She would pick better as well. In fact.. She stood and with what she meant to be a mighty roar called out to her future rider. Iro'risMine! Your Saekath is displeased! Come down to the sands this instant! I need to be fed and oiled and cared for and you! You are simply crazy! This must be fixed! We must be perfect! NOW! Come! Food! Then bath! Then we work on you! Silly crazy Mine. The last was almost amused as she said it, affectionate perhaps, but the Topaz had chosen... She had known who she would choose from the time he had touched her shell. But she still did not understand why he was up there.

Appearance:
Saekath is a large, somewhat bulky topaz. She will certainly outgrow her mother and father, and in fact she will most likely out grow most Topaz dragons on Pern. She carries herself like she knows she is not just a sub-queen, but an actual queen in her own right, and walks with a certain grace as well. Her wings are long, but not so much as to drag on the ground when she walks. She always holds her head high.
Her rustic orange hide color is not as bright orange as some hues that are seen on Topaz dragons, but her markings are distinctive and well formed. Pale Orange, so light that it looks like a burnt cream, sweeps across the top of her head and neck and curves under her jaw and down the front of her chest. It also rings around her legs before becoming a more orange, tan hue to her feet and mirrors similar markings on her tail. A blood orange is the most striking color if she were to be asked, and it lines the contours of her legs, neck and muzzle. A rustic orange, darker than the majority of her hide, glazes the top, outer portion of her wings.
Saekath's mannerisms in a word are “regal”. Another could easily be “dangerous.”She has a distinctly cat-like grace in the way that she moved, her shoulders rolling quietly and muscles rippling under shining hide. In every possible way she is a hunter, a predator, a beautiful warrior ready for battle and yet there is more. The Topaz Sub-Queen will never be one to back down either in her words or her actions, and it shows in the proud way she throws back her head or the relaxed ease she holds her body as if nothing in the world could make her on edge. When she does happen to become irritated though, Saekath will lash her tail like an agitated feline or scratch at the ground with her talons.
Personality:
Vain, stuck up, and a bit blood thirsty, she can be poised and collected. However, she is the queen of war in her own mind. She is a Topaz Queen. Unequaled. However, she holds a reverence for her mother and a larger one for her father. She is proud to be born to two dragons of war.
She is going to be handful, demanding perfection of her rider, though she doesn't feel overly confident in her perfection either and will push herself no matter what. She doesn't like to get her claws dirty, but she loves to watch others fight... especially if it's for her.
She is a lady of war for the most part, but she also has the capacity to be a good leader and a good healer to the hurt ... if she can make herself care enough to actually look out for them. Her caring is rather deeply hidden, but like some of her siblings, she has a tendency to idolize her father and mother.
She will generally get along with her sister Muhath and doll out justice for her. Inflicting punishment on the unjust is something that she takes pride in being able to do. She is a queen after all and waht is the function of a queen if not to keep some semblance of order in a Weyr? She sees herself as more than just a dragoness for baring clutches and takes her position very seriously.
Mind-Voice:

- Regal tone
- Often uses the “royal we”
- A deep, powerful alto
- Can rattle the bones of those she so deigns to speak to.
Inspiration:
“Sekhmet (Sakhmet) is one of the oldest known Egyptian deities. Her name is derived from the Egyptian word “Sekhem”(which means “power”or “might”) and is often translated as the “Powerful One”. She is depicted as a lion-headed woman, sometimes with the addition of a sun disc on her head. Her seated statues show her holding the ankh of life, but when she is shown striding or standing she usually holds a sceptre formed from papyrus (the symbol of northern or Lower Egypt) suggesting that she was associated primarily with the north. However, some scholars argue that the deity was introduced from Sudan (south of Egypt) where lions are more plentiful.Sekhmet was represented by the searing heat of the mid-day sun (in this aspect she was sometimes called “Nesert”, the flame) and was a terrifying goddess. However, for her friends she could avert plague and cure disease. She was the patron of Physicians, and Healers and her priests became known as skilled doctors. As a result, the fearsome deity sometimes called the “lady of terror”was also known as “lady of life”. Sekhmet was mentioned a number of times in the spells of The Book of the Dead as both a creative and destructive force. She was the goddess of war and death as well as life and healing.”
