Not mine, did not draw, just tweaked colors a bit to match Linda.
Appearance Linda's hair is of a brown color, well a chocolate brown pretty much with tints of other colors within its depths here and there. That unless one looks at one strand of hair wouldn't notice the random black hair here and there. The layer underneath is darker though while the layer on top of the thick hair was bleached a lighter shade by the sun. Some strands even bleached to a blonde almost in color well a dark dirty blonde. Very thick though, and slightly wavy though because of the weight of it the waves only show up pretty much near the bottom. No hair style is apparent though there is no bangs, just hair that went down to knees basically.
Her face in front of the hair though is slightly heart shaped, but mostly just oval in some ways in the middle. A soft widows peak tops a gentle sloping forehead that is framed by average looking brown eyebrows. While below the eyebrows are a dark forest green eyes that have flecks of brown amongst them, especially brown is the ring located around the pupil. Slightly almond in shape and still they retain a slight youthful largeness to them. Soft blackish brown lashes curve away from her eyes, not the most feminine of people but still there was lashes there to denote she is female. Between her eyes though is a prominent normal average nose, stubbornly set with a little upturn on the tip of it. While full dusty rose colored lips finish her face below her nose, though that is not all on her face. She has one scar that starts just below the middle of her right eye and slopes gently and shallowly towards her chin.
Linda does however stand at around five feet and four inches in height, so she isn't the shortest or the tallest pretty much but rather average as well. Her whole body is covered in a tan, not that light nor is she too dark just a tan from being out and about in the sun. Her body isn't the skinniest or leanest of the bunch either but rather very well toned to deal with work or lifting things. She definitely isn't one of those fragile gals, though she does have a rather hourglass shape of medium curves on her body. Not too large and not too small, so she can still be flexible and not too stand out in the crowds. To compliment the scar on her face though she has one she usually has hidden mostly, it starts at the top of her left shoulder and slowly moves towards the inside of her arm ending halfway to her elbow. Many other smaller scars dot over her body besides the two most horrible ones, but they were taken care of and don't look as hideous so she doesn't care if they show.
She never cares about dresses or skirts, in fact she hates them most of the time for they just get in the way. She also hates bold and bright colors because they make her stand out and she doesn't like her looks to be too flamboyant. She prefers natural tones, like greens and blues that aren't too bright though has been known to like purple and some silver actually. Other then that she doesn't really care, usually wearing tunics, vests, pants, anything comfortable, not too baggy or too tight, and that doesn't wear and tear easily. She also tends to wear a brown belt with pouches and a long knife attached to her waist carrying some basic survival supplies and healing supplies that she might need. She might though wear a dress or better quality tunic and pants for special occasions, or if she has to she will wear a dress.
Personality Linda sadly isn't the most bubbly friendly sort of girl towards regular humans. She is rather in fact downright cold and rather uncaring most of the time to others. She hates humans mostly with a passion, though of course there is always an exception and she has liked some in the past but she is more on guard with people then normal. If they have a dragon or some sort of pet or Fire Lizard though, she is actually rather nice and not as guarded because she prefers non human company which relaxes her. She has been known to almost ignore a person but as soon as their Fire lizard or Dragon or something came into the picture she starts paying attention to what they are saying.
Because of her quirks of dealing with people she doesn't have many friends, and even less in the way of social graces or training. She is rather blunt and open and honest about her mind and opinions and won't hold back just because it might hurt someones feelings. She also doesn't know subtle hints most of the time as well, she has never flirted and doesn't really have interest in relationships because of this at this time. Her greatest pet peeve is anger, harmful intentions, or anything of the sort to non humans, especially if its a Fire Lizard or Dragon that is the victim. Quick to anger and even quicker for her to try to defend those she deems worthy, she really isn't someone that could really handle politics especially of the holds.
Sadly because of her lonely existence she has even greater fear of being truly alone. Ever since Hana and the rest came into her life she would know she couldn't survive without him, or others there in her life. She also secretly fears rejection from others, reason why she chases them away so easily and readily away from her though tries so hard to be a healer in hopes of being accepted. She also doesn't really handle stress all that well, usually seen sparing and working on her ways of being able to defend herself especially early in the morning before she steps up for the day.
Linda's sexuality is a mixture of her dislike for most humans, and her time spent in the wild without being with other humans socially for the most part. Demisexual is pretty much only being attracted to those you know at least somewhat well. So only those she would allow herself to get close to and kind of open up she would only see in that type of light. While Dragonsexual, pretty much she has a one person mind along with them beating her... Or well being better then her, they don't have to beat her in a fighting match... But of course it has to be something she is either good at or interested in really.... Or a Dragon trying to convince her or from a mating flight of her possible future Dragon. Otherwise it might take her some time to get to like someone, even longer to figure out she likes them... and possibly even longer or decades for her to act on them if not pushed to it.
History Linda showing up in the family was never a planned thing, so even before she was conceived she was trying to be gotten rid of. But her Mother, once pregnant, couldn't get rid of her child try as she might. Reason they didn't want her was well, the herd beast farm wasn't doing well at the time and it was the busy season. They needed all the hands they could on the farm, not tending to some baby that they never planned for. So in the early Fall she was born, perfectly healthy and everything normal. This caused her Father, and mother, to build an intense hatred for their young daughter. They never touched her and in fact gave her to her brother to raise her or dump her somewhere to die if he wanted to be free of the burden. Baengiman however never thought of his sister as a burden, and actually grew to love his sister much like a father as well.
So even on their farm on the Southern continent, mostly of herdbeasts and other animals. There wasn't much interaction between the siblings and the outside world. Linda's family had many, her oldest brother Baengiman being the one to take care of most of them. Then came the twins of male and female origin, named Moria and Cunka. Linda came next, but wasn't the last and her younger siblings were more liked then her. Another set of twins, boys this time, were a turn younger then her while the other set of twins a turn older then Linda. While a couple of turns after those boys was a series of three girls.
Baengiman grew to know the joy of raising his siblings, Linda was only six turns younger then him, both mother and father didn't really care much for him either slowly hating him for wanting both wife and mother to want to die. Slowly the quality of food, clothes, basic essentials for the two siblings got worse and worse before long that when Linda was six Turns old all the hatred and anguish grew to the boiling point. She didn't think anything of the bad, she thought this was normal and that father and mother was just to busy to give her any love so she tried her hardest to keep out of his way...
Then it happened, there was a search in the area that picked most of Linda's siblings. Her parents were enraged, secretly though, they hated the dragons and were trying to raise a group to kill them off in hopes of ridding themselves of them again. They had hated the Dragons and their Riders long before this search even took place to take their kids... their farm helpers. The tithes, the time spent to give their precious stuff.... Nevermind on her father's side of the family one person vehemently rejected a search so much a fight broke out and of course the non rider was actually killed. Linda being the only one they actually hated the most, and actually seemed to get along with the search Dragons well enough.... became their target.
One night both father and mother took knives and went after Linda, causing her wounds on her face and shoulder that never truly healed like the rest. Linda used everything she could to get away, barely 6 turns old as she tried to push chairs and the like in her parents way. Swiftly she fled into the wilderness of the southern continent, unknown where she was going or where anything was since she never went out anywhere except the beach. Finally she reached the beach.... But bleeding, alone, no supplies, in the wilderness to fend for herself at a tiny young age.
Thankfully she wasn't alone in her wish to live, earlier that day she had noticed a Dolphin had been stranded on the shore. And in fact the Search Dragon had helped her get it back in along with others. The Dolphin was a young one of a pod, but they did not forget that she was one of the ones that helped save her. So they tried their best to bring her some food every day in hopes of keeping her alive. Linda survived, but just barely, her scars weren't the best healed and living on raw fish for a bit before she could make a fire and shelter took some toll on her little body. However instead of succumbing to things, she stubbornly tried to stay alive so one day she would prove her parents wrong or get back at them somehow. Even against the wild felines that pictured her as an easy meal... at the start... she had gotten to leave her alone but they still had squabbles. Thankfully she didn't encounter them until she was a bit older, having stuck near the ocean with the Dolphins until she could go out on her own. Though at the start she had to run and hide, usually up to the thin branches of a tree and hope to wait them out before she starved to death. As she grew older and got her own knife and other weapons however she learned how to fight them... However neither her nor the felines got away purely unscathed so it added more to her scars on her body.
8 Turns she lived in the wilderness to the age of 16, learning how to survive and thriving. Silently she would sneak into a nearby settlement to get some needed essentials... like a knife or clothes in exchange for some food and other things she found in the wilderness. Mostly fire lizard eggs that she found, though she kept a few for herself. Around the time Linda was 15, she had a few fire lizards of her own that she started to train to help her with survival. A gold, a brown, two blues, and a green... However there was a 6th that was oddly colored and different temperament then the rest that Linda would find out later to be a Garnet...
Her little flight of Fire lizards were all hatched within a few hours of each other... Actually all from the same clutch she found on the beach. The golden mother wasn't very happy with Linda, but the human had helped keep the bad things that were trying to eat the eggs away for a few days beforehand. Sure Linda got attacked while feeding some of them... but she didn't care as the wounds weren't that bad. Thankfully by this point in time, Linda was old enough and well able enough to get enough food for all 6 of her hatchlings.... though she had to travel a lot and make a sling pretty much to hold them all with her.
One day however, while she was 16, she stumbled upon Southern hold... The people would not let her go hide back out in the wilderness, took her in and clothed her along with trying to teach her how to speak a bit. Quickly Linda picked up the language she never truly forgot, she had been using it after all but there was more information she didn't know at her young age. They found her talent in healing, sent to the Crafthall to learn the ways especially for her Fire Lizards which seemed to appeal to the young woman.
Shortly after turning eighteen turns Linda had gotten contact again with her siblings, well B'man actually found her and she found out the rest of her siblings were all riders, of Dragon or otherwise.... An ache went through her body, as she could never really rejoin her siblings because she was never Searched.... With Threadfall however, she had to put those ideas and pains aside. More and more Healers were required to help heal.... Linda, even though she was an apprentice, had tended to her own injuries time and again and well had a lot of experience with physical obvious wounds like one might get in Threadfall. So she was sent to Apollo hold, and if needed the Weyr as an extra hand if the hold could spare her.... during her trip however she would find out she would be searched in hopes of impressing a future Dragonette of her own.

Pets:
Name Hana
Pronunciation Ha-Nah
Age 3 Turns
Type Firelizard
Rank Gold
Size 42 inches long
Color Codes FFCD00
Personality/Appearance Hana is a gentle and serene, on the motherly and perhaps regal side of the gold personality spectrum. The leader really of the group, she tries to keep everyone around Linda in line even the human herself.
Hana though is a soft pale gold in color, with splotches of a darker bronze like gold that covers her muzzle, shoulders, haunches, and spine. More slender really in her body then most other golds, she has length but no thickness really to her. Giving her a look of almost a queen doll, perfect in looks but somewhat fragile in real life.
Name: Erani
Pronunciation: Air-rah-knee
Age: Barely Hatched
Type: Firelizard
Rank: Obsidian
Size: 35 inches when fully grown
Color Codes: 5f14a3
Appearance: Erani's body is slender, a lot like the average for her kind, with angular instead of broad wings for agility. Graceful, feminine, she is like a shadow of Hana in a way. Her entire hide is almost black, but is really a dark silver that appears so. A lighter medium silver moves up her claws like ghost flames. Even to the point that slivers and wisps of medium silver smoke has traveled over her hide. A deep violet cover though covers the membranes of her wings. However over the top of her face, along the top of her back and tail as well, the violet markings are eclectic, runic even... some might even think it is a lost language or art form if they didn't know any better.
Personality: Erani, like many Obsidians, is a very quiet individual. Taking her time to analyze everything around her before speaking up or doing anything. Some might think she is slow in this way, but she has very detailed images she gives from such observations so Linda has come to find that she isn't slow. Just very cautious and... well lives in the shadows. Erani does this even with fighting, not hating but not loving it either. But if she must she will win her way.
Name Rorce
Pronunciation Roar-ce
Age 3 Turns
Type Firelizard
Rank Garnet
Size 30 inches
Color Codes 660000
Personality/Appearance Rorce thinks that he is the leader of the group, except pray tell the gold but often times believes she is his partner so she can get away with more stuff.... Not as a mate though, she looks too frail and seemingly not fit to fight. He tends to bully around the rest of the group when Linda isn't watching. Even though he is Dominate so much, Linda has been able to pretty much get him into submission whenever around her. Since she was able to beat him however, he feels it is okay that she is the overall leader. However since coming to the Weyr he has felt very stressed, being unable to attack everyone since Linda won't let him. So instead he has taken to think all teh womens(Fire lizards) Are his and will try to fly them all.... at least she can't control him over this.
Not the longest of his kind, he is of course the snake like slenderness of his kind is however quite apparent. Mostly of a dark red, with black mostly on the tips of well everything on his body. He seems to look adept in being in the shadows, even with some of the scars that dot his legs.
Name Cad
Pronunciation Cad
Age 3 Turns
Type Firelizard
Rank Brown
Size 26 inches
Color Codes 250000
Personality/Appearance Cad is a laid back and carefree kinda guy, mostly laying around wanting to sleep then fret over every little thing. He will do his jobs he is told to do, but will otherwise want to sleep and eat if he can get away with it.
In complete contrast to Hana, Cad is stocky and shorter then the average really. Thick and bulky, he has more strength pretty much so he weighs more. Preferring to stick himself inside pockets rather then on top of shoulders or heads. His whole body a mottled color of dark brown, like bark or dirt really.
Name Jo
Pronunciation Joe
Age 3 Turns
Type Firelizard
Rank Blue
Size 19 inches
Color Codes 000099
Personality/Appearance Even though Jo is the smaller of the two blues in the little flight of Linda's, does not make him any less prideful. More Intelligent then most blues, he actually is happy with the little group he is part of. Most of them are smart, nothing much to irk him... Except for that brown that loves to just sleep and eat but he is easily ignored as being part of his posse.
Dark sapphire blue, dappled with an even deeper and darker hue mostly just down his spine. Not the most slender or stocky but of average body type... Except for being of the smaller range of blues.
Name Jak
Pronunciation Jack
Age 3 Turns
Type Firelizard
Rank Blue
Size 24 inches
Color Codes 33CCFF
Personality/Appearance Jak wouldn't even hurt a fly, tries to take the peaceful way of everything which more then not makes him the more submissive in the group. However he tends to be the less excitable of the bunch as well because of it and is usually the one, if not Hana to, to help calm Linda down in her times of need.
Mostly an ice light blue type of color, there are almost stripes of a slightly darker color that just spreads over his body. Though so faint it just gives him the appearance of a glacier, ice, or water really of the coldest sort.
Name Renae
Pronunciation Ren-Aye
Age 3 Turns
Type Firelizard
Rank Green
Size 17 inches
Color Codes 006600
Personality/Appearance Renae is the most shy of the group of dragonkin, normally hiding behind Linda or in her long hair. But once she gets to know you and becomes more open, she likes to snuggle and croon softly... Trying to groom or just be there to help and watch.
Smallest out of the group so far, she isn't as slender as Hana or Rorce, but isn't as stocky as the rest of the males. Dainty with emerald green of a coat, forest green splotches over her as if imitating the canopy of a forest.
Name: Seya
Pronunciation: Say-Ah
Age: Barely Hatched
Type: Firelizard
Rank: Lazuli
Size: 8 inches when fully grown
Color Codes: Lavender
Appearance: Made up mostly of a myriad of blues, greens, and purple hues of a metallic sheen. Not one is more prominent then the other causing it to look like a very stormy dusk or night view. Silver is spread out in a webbing type look, thin streaks really which causes the hide to look like a multi colored body of water... Dark deep ocean water possibly.
Personality: Seya is a very gentle and motherly type, taking after Hana the gold of the group. Almost like a young baby chick following her mother, she tries to do everything Hana does. Hana is kind, she is kind, Hana is motherly, she is motherly. She really wants to be like Hana who is like this... But of course she is still young and loves to play, tending to bat at the others tail's and wanting to play tag.
Name Felli
Pronunciation Fellis without the s
Age Barely Hatched.
Type Huntyre
Rank Forest(Albino)
Size 1.5 feet tall when fully grown
Color Codes FFFFFF
Personality/Appearance Even when she first hatched from her egg, she did not let anyone else near her human that she was with besides what the human allowed. Going so far as to nip at any fingers or toes... or bare skin she could find. Otherwise though she was just calm and liked to puff up and sleep where she could on top of Linda's head.... liking the height. If she fell she would get caught anyways right? Also the height gave her a good enough view of making sure her person and.... herd was okay.
Soft, fluffy, and pure white... This Forest Huntyre was born as a pure Albino with just white fur and light colored skin underneath it... Even a pale beak as well instead of the dark browns and greens. Dark red eyes peered out from their background of white as well. She isn't all completely white though, where brown would normally be on on other forests she has splotches of a light cream or tan really.
Name Klarce
Pronunciation Klah-(far)ce
Age Barely Hatched.
Type Huntyre
Rank Lunar
Size 1 foot tall when fully grown
Color Codes Grey
Personality/Appearance Klarce is a rather odd little Lunar, being kind of clumsy with a short attention span. With the combination of being rather rash, ready to get in your face and barrel straight forward without thinking... yet easily persuaded to do things. It seems that even though Huntyre's are a male dominant species, that Klarce might actually be the one being the lower ranking one more then likely. Nevermind his rather odd habit of sneaking into wineskins to drink them.... be them Linda's or others when she more then likely has none. He has his good moments though and well loves Linda, so can't be all that bad.
Most of his feathers are of a silver in color, not silvery white nor dark silver... just silver. Though it does fade a bit lightly near the edges, especially end of the feathers and around where the color stops. the tips of his wings however are mostly a soft dark mint green, with a few streaks of cyan almost here and there. Fluffy and full of plume he is the epitome of health... despite his personality quirks for now.

They had hated the Dragons and their Riders long before this search even took place to take their kids... their farm helpers. The tithes, the time spent to give their precious stuff.... Nevermind on her father's side of the family one person vehemently rejected a search so much a fight broke out and of course the non rider was actually killed. Linda being the only one they actually hated the most, and actually seemed to get along with the search Dragons well enough.... became their target.
One night both father and mother took knives and went after Linda, causing her wounds on her face and shoulder that never truly healed like the rest. Linda used everything she could to get away, barely 6 turns old as she tried to push chairs and the like in her parents way. Swiftly she fled into the wilderness of the southern continent, unknown where she was going or where anything was since she never went out anywhere except the beach. Finally she reached the beach.... But bleeding, alone, no supplies, in the wilderness to fend for herself at a tiny young age.
Thankfully she wasn't alone in her wish to live, earlier that day she had noticed a Dolphin had been stranded on the shore. And in fact the Search Dragon had helped her get it back in along with others. The Dolphin was a young one of a pod, but they did not forget that she was one of the ones that helped save her. So they tried their best to bring her some food every day in hopes of keeping her alive. Linda survived, but just barely, her scars weren't the best healed and living on raw fish for a bit before she could make a fire and shelter took some toll on her little body. However instead of succumbing to things, she stubbornly tried to stay alive so one day she would prove her parents wrong or get back at them somehow. Even against the wild felines that pictured her as an easy meal... at the start... she had gotten to leave her alone but they still had squabbles. Thankfully she didn't encounter them until she was a bit older, having stuck near the ocean with the Dolphins until she could go out on her own. Though at the start she had to run and hide, usually up to the thin branches of a tree and hope to wait them out before she starved to death. As she grew older and got her own knife and other weapons however she learned how to fight them... However neither her nor the felines got away purely unscathed so it added more to her scars on her body.
8 Turns she lived in the wilderness to the age of 16, learning how to survive and thriving. Silently she would sneak into a nearby settlement to get some needed essentials... like a knife or clothes in exchange for some food and other things she found in the wilderness. Mostly fire lizard eggs that she found, though she kept a few for herself. Around the time Linda was 15, she had a few fire lizards of her own that she started to train to help her with survival. A gold, a brown, two blues, and a green... However there was a 6th that was oddly colored and different temperament then the rest that Linda would find out later to be a Garnet...
Her little flight of Fire lizards were all hatched within a few hours of each other... Actually all from the same clutch she found on the beach. The golden mother wasn't very happy with Linda, but the human had helped keep the bad things that were trying to eat the eggs away for a few days beforehand. Sure Linda got attacked while feeding some of them... but she didn't care as the wounds weren't that bad. Thankfully by this point in time, Linda was old enough and well able enough to get enough food for all 6 of her hatchlings.... though she had to travel a lot and make a sling pretty much to hold them all with her.
One day however, while she was 16, she stumbled upon Southern hold... The people would not let her go hide back out in the wilderness, took her in and clothed her along with trying to teach her how to speak a bit. Quickly Linda picked up the language she never truly forgot, she had been using it after all but there was more information she didn't know at her young age. They found her talent in healing, sent to the Crafthall to learn the ways especially for her Fire Lizards which seemed to appeal to the young woman.
Shortly after turning eighteen turns Linda had gotten contact again with her siblings, well B'man actually found her and she found out the rest of her siblings were all riders, of Dragon or otherwise.... An ache went through her body, as she could never really rejoin her siblings because she was never Searched.... With Threadfall however, she had to put those ideas and pains aside. More and more Healers were required to help heal.... Linda, even though she was an apprentice, had tended to her own injuries time and again and well had a lot of experience with physical obvious wounds like one might get in Threadfall. So she was sent to Apollo hold, and if needed the Weyr as an extra hand if the hold could spare her.... during her trip however she would find out she would be searched in hopes of impressing a future Dragonette of her own.

Pets:
Gold Firelizard Hana
Name Hana
Pronunciation Ha-Nah
Age 3 Turns
Type Firelizard
Rank Gold
Size 42 inches long
Color Codes FFCD00
Personality/Appearance Hana is a gentle and serene, on the motherly and perhaps regal side of the gold personality spectrum. The leader really of the group, she tries to keep everyone around Linda in line even the human herself.
Hana though is a soft pale gold in color, with splotches of a darker bronze like gold that covers her muzzle, shoulders, haunches, and spine. More slender really in her body then most other golds, she has length but no thickness really to her. Giving her a look of almost a queen doll, perfect in looks but somewhat fragile in real life.
Obsidian Firelizard Erani
Name: Erani
Pronunciation: Air-rah-knee
Age: Barely Hatched
Type: Firelizard
Rank: Obsidian
Size: 35 inches when fully grown
Color Codes: 5f14a3
Appearance: Erani's body is slender, a lot like the average for her kind, with angular instead of broad wings for agility. Graceful, feminine, she is like a shadow of Hana in a way. Her entire hide is almost black, but is really a dark silver that appears so. A lighter medium silver moves up her claws like ghost flames. Even to the point that slivers and wisps of medium silver smoke has traveled over her hide. A deep violet cover though covers the membranes of her wings. However over the top of her face, along the top of her back and tail as well, the violet markings are eclectic, runic even... some might even think it is a lost language or art form if they didn't know any better.
Personality: Erani, like many Obsidians, is a very quiet individual. Taking her time to analyze everything around her before speaking up or doing anything. Some might think she is slow in this way, but she has very detailed images she gives from such observations so Linda has come to find that she isn't slow. Just very cautious and... well lives in the shadows. Erani does this even with fighting, not hating but not loving it either. But if she must she will win her way.
Garnet Firelizard Rorce
Name Rorce
Pronunciation Roar-ce
Age 3 Turns
Type Firelizard
Rank Garnet
Size 30 inches
Color Codes 660000
Personality/Appearance Rorce thinks that he is the leader of the group, except pray tell the gold but often times believes she is his partner so she can get away with more stuff.... Not as a mate though, she looks too frail and seemingly not fit to fight. He tends to bully around the rest of the group when Linda isn't watching. Even though he is Dominate so much, Linda has been able to pretty much get him into submission whenever around her. Since she was able to beat him however, he feels it is okay that she is the overall leader. However since coming to the Weyr he has felt very stressed, being unable to attack everyone since Linda won't let him. So instead he has taken to think all teh womens(Fire lizards) Are his and will try to fly them all.... at least she can't control him over this.
Not the longest of his kind, he is of course the snake like slenderness of his kind is however quite apparent. Mostly of a dark red, with black mostly on the tips of well everything on his body. He seems to look adept in being in the shadows, even with some of the scars that dot his legs.
Brown Firelizard Cad
Name Cad
Pronunciation Cad
Age 3 Turns
Type Firelizard
Rank Brown
Size 26 inches
Color Codes 250000
Personality/Appearance Cad is a laid back and carefree kinda guy, mostly laying around wanting to sleep then fret over every little thing. He will do his jobs he is told to do, but will otherwise want to sleep and eat if he can get away with it.
In complete contrast to Hana, Cad is stocky and shorter then the average really. Thick and bulky, he has more strength pretty much so he weighs more. Preferring to stick himself inside pockets rather then on top of shoulders or heads. His whole body a mottled color of dark brown, like bark or dirt really.
Blue Firelizard Jo
Name Jo
Pronunciation Joe
Age 3 Turns
Type Firelizard
Rank Blue
Size 19 inches
Color Codes 000099
Personality/Appearance Even though Jo is the smaller of the two blues in the little flight of Linda's, does not make him any less prideful. More Intelligent then most blues, he actually is happy with the little group he is part of. Most of them are smart, nothing much to irk him... Except for that brown that loves to just sleep and eat but he is easily ignored as being part of his posse.
Dark sapphire blue, dappled with an even deeper and darker hue mostly just down his spine. Not the most slender or stocky but of average body type... Except for being of the smaller range of blues.
Blue Firelizard Jak
Name Jak
Pronunciation Jack
Age 3 Turns
Type Firelizard
Rank Blue
Size 24 inches
Color Codes 33CCFF
Personality/Appearance Jak wouldn't even hurt a fly, tries to take the peaceful way of everything which more then not makes him the more submissive in the group. However he tends to be the less excitable of the bunch as well because of it and is usually the one, if not Hana to, to help calm Linda down in her times of need.
Mostly an ice light blue type of color, there are almost stripes of a slightly darker color that just spreads over his body. Though so faint it just gives him the appearance of a glacier, ice, or water really of the coldest sort.
Green Firelizard Renae
Name Renae
Pronunciation Ren-Aye
Age 3 Turns
Type Firelizard
Rank Green
Size 17 inches
Color Codes 006600
Personality/Appearance Renae is the most shy of the group of dragonkin, normally hiding behind Linda or in her long hair. But once she gets to know you and becomes more open, she likes to snuggle and croon softly... Trying to groom or just be there to help and watch.
Smallest out of the group so far, she isn't as slender as Hana or Rorce, but isn't as stocky as the rest of the males. Dainty with emerald green of a coat, forest green splotches over her as if imitating the canopy of a forest.
Lazuli Firelizard Seya
Name: Seya
Pronunciation: Say-Ah
Age: Barely Hatched
Type: Firelizard
Rank: Lazuli
Size: 8 inches when fully grown
Color Codes: Lavender
Appearance: Made up mostly of a myriad of blues, greens, and purple hues of a metallic sheen. Not one is more prominent then the other causing it to look like a very stormy dusk or night view. Silver is spread out in a webbing type look, thin streaks really which causes the hide to look like a multi colored body of water... Dark deep ocean water possibly.
Personality: Seya is a very gentle and motherly type, taking after Hana the gold of the group. Almost like a young baby chick following her mother, she tries to do everything Hana does. Hana is kind, she is kind, Hana is motherly, she is motherly. She really wants to be like Hana who is like this... But of course she is still young and loves to play, tending to bat at the others tail's and wanting to play tag.
Albino Forest Huntyre Felli
Name Felli
Pronunciation Fellis without the s
Age Barely Hatched.
Type Huntyre
Rank Forest(Albino)
Size 1.5 feet tall when fully grown
Color Codes FFFFFF
Personality/Appearance Even when she first hatched from her egg, she did not let anyone else near her human that she was with besides what the human allowed. Going so far as to nip at any fingers or toes... or bare skin she could find. Otherwise though she was just calm and liked to puff up and sleep where she could on top of Linda's head.... liking the height. If she fell she would get caught anyways right? Also the height gave her a good enough view of making sure her person and.... herd was okay.
Soft, fluffy, and pure white... This Forest Huntyre was born as a pure Albino with just white fur and light colored skin underneath it... Even a pale beak as well instead of the dark browns and greens. Dark red eyes peered out from their background of white as well. She isn't all completely white though, where brown would normally be on on other forests she has splotches of a light cream or tan really.
Lunar Huntyre Klarce
Name Klarce
Pronunciation Klah-(far)ce
Age Barely Hatched.
Type Huntyre
Rank Lunar
Size 1 foot tall when fully grown
Color Codes Grey
Personality/Appearance Klarce is a rather odd little Lunar, being kind of clumsy with a short attention span. With the combination of being rather rash, ready to get in your face and barrel straight forward without thinking... yet easily persuaded to do things. It seems that even though Huntyre's are a male dominant species, that Klarce might actually be the one being the lower ranking one more then likely. Nevermind his rather odd habit of sneaking into wineskins to drink them.... be them Linda's or others when she more then likely has none. He has his good moments though and well loves Linda, so can't be all that bad.
Most of his feathers are of a silver in color, not silvery white nor dark silver... just silver. Though it does fade a bit lightly near the edges, especially end of the feathers and around where the color stops. the tips of his wings however are mostly a soft dark mint green, with a few streaks of cyan almost here and there. Fluffy and full of plume he is the epitome of health... despite his personality quirks for now.
