Devine

PB: Bridget Regan
Just let me say one thing
I've had enough
You're selfish and sorry
You'll never learn
How to love
As your world disassembles
Better keep your head up

Gender Female
Sexuality Bisexual, male preference


Appearance
This slender woman is swift and fast of both mind and body and it shows with every careful and measured movement of her pale hands, each finger formed long, thin, slightly pointed and with well defined joints. Both are adorned with scars which come from rigorous training and practice, as does the rough cording of what would be otherwise fine, lovely hands of a pampered lady. Those hands are connected to slender, if rather well toned arms, which connect with beautiful, slender shoulders, upon which sits a pale, long, slender neck. Her face is a bit more... round in shape, her forehead and chin being about the same width in appearance. Her features are well defined - high sharp cheekbones a small nose which slightly arch upward at the end almost giving her an undeserved snobbish appearance. Her black hair is slightly curled as it falls down around those slender shoulders. Her lips are full and pink. Her eyes are striking, angular and a deep blue color set beneath arched black eyebrows. Her skin is rather pale all things considered.

Her body is extremely feminine in shape and lovely by most standards. She is very aware of this and will take every, if rare, occasion to dress in such a fashion to show it off. Her legs are long and lean, accustomed to running. Her expressions vary a great deal depending on the needs at the time. Though her primary expression is either... flirtatious, or a stoic, steady, untouchable mask of... what might be considered superiority. Her stance is almost always cool, commanding, determined, and measured in each movement, each tilt of the head, each expression.

Personality
It is the witch that lays inside,
her hands so loosely tied,
my mind is raging with her laughs,
which forever make naught
but a master's horrid screeching.

The witch awaiting,
quiet and scheming -
death in the quiet mind and heart,
unthinkable, unstoppable -
Ah. How we love her.
-Bad poetry by Bella

Devine is something of an oddity. She isn't particularly kind or caring in any outward way... She shows her love or care more... subtly. She is a protective sort of person and those that she loves she desires to protect more than anything in the world. The only one that she gives overt affection too unsolicited is her dragon, Tammaruth. Despite this, she does have a healthy appetite for romance... but she prefers to be the one being wooed rather than the other way around. Though she is primarily a dominant personality. She has her goals. She has her witches and she has her demons. That's right, I did say demons.

Devine, even before becoming a candidate, was a bit of a.... well... what should one call it? She wasn't insane. Perhaps a bit over the top to say the least. Definitely eccentric. Devine has a way of doing things that is just odd enough to make them worth the doing. She is smart, cunning, intelligent and, above all... creative. When it comes to a fight, it is her intelligence and creativity that are often her greatest assets. But it is also these qualities that make her seem quite insane (in the very traditional meaning of the word, though that may be a good thing) by the standards of some, though she is quite far from it. She is a creative mind with an active imagination. Though her excitement over such things is more... contained. She rarely shares those things which tickle her fancy or invade her mind... but onlly that which might be of some value for one reason or another to those around her.

Devine is very stubborn and has a tendency to ignore those around her and their proposed ideas, preferring her own.... unless of course it comes to matters of safety. In which case she is more likely to listen. She is used to having to look out for herself and those who fell under that protection and that extends even now to her work as a dragonrider. She will work herself to death if it means that she can better protect Pern and her beloved Tammaruth, or Tammy as she calls him from time to time. She has a deep seated hate of firelizards for the simple reason that her dragon does - after all, something annoys Tam, it's going to annoy her because an unhappy Tam just doesn't... well... let's just say it's nigh impossible to live with.

Devine can be an incredibly horrible person from time to time. She has a tendency to want her own way and is more than willing to be manipulative to get it. And this is where her flirtatious expression most typically comes in as she finds flirting to be a particularly easy way in which she can get what she would like... especially if someone should actually like her. Oh she is not above playing someone... in fact, she finds it to be rather fun.

Devine doesn't really understand the concept of love and what it means. Nor does she particularly understand the commitment that usually goes with such things. Her general perception is that it is with stupidity that people give so much of themselves.

However, beyond all this, when you pull back layer after layer after layer, you find a hurting woman. One who has been trampled on by many a person in her life and, either being naive, ignorant, or somehow lacking the emotional capacity to understand how to heal, has allowed this to create the cynical, retreating, and slightly crazy personality that you see before you. Devine is, indeed, a certified cynic in many ways. Starting with her view of people, her view of herself, her view of love, and her view of the status of the day as it does indeed change daily. Her art, however... now her music and her art... Those things are her refuge and if they were to be taken from her... What would she have left? She knows not. Her dragon, perhaps.

History
I was born at Ista Weyr. The life of weyrbrat was so ridiculous. It was simple... and easily taken care of. But I was different. Just enough anyways that it ws difficult to really find anyone to get along with... besides my full-blooded brother. Veranan was a wonderful brother for hte most part... Dezaro on the other hand, who was older than both of us was horrible. He made my life miserable. But when he didn't impress and my brother and I did... That was the last of it. But it really didn't make a difference anymore. Oh... but he would bother me for a long while.

I was always a bit off. Few people wanted to work with me... but I would show them in time. I would achieve. And Tammaruth... Well he would spur me on. We were going to be an unstoppable team. But as we watched new colors appear, it soon became clear that they wished to be the better, the best. And as we watched the Obsidian maul a young girl... fate sealed itself and we turned our loyalties towards S'vrin. And that is where they continue to rest.

Tammaruth

Name Tammaruth
Pronunciation Tam - are - ruth
Age 8 Turns
Type Dragon
Rank Blue
Size 32 feet
Color Codes
0066a9, 004c96, 009cd7

Appearance
Tammaruth is a rather rich blue with swirling markings of lighter and darker blues. His stomach is darker than his base while his neck and tail are lighter and a bit closer to cyan in color. His face is the lighter color and marked with a dark blue band over his eyes and down to the edge of his jawbone. His neck is ringed with the same dark blue. His large wings are long, slender, and are his lighter blue color which fade into the darker blue towards the edges and at the tops. Each foot is dipped in dark blue with a lighter blue on top of that.

Tammaruth is a rather large blue with wondrous proportions, though his wings are considerably larger than the average would be considered for even a blue his size, lending him greater speed in flight. His body is lithe and almost feminine in build rather than being bulky in any way. His dainty features are a source of pride to him.

Personality
Tammaruth is rather effeminate in nature. He can be a real snob and loves to gossip like no other when the opportunity presents itself. In his mind, he is unequaled. Any gold, bronze, brown, blue, or green should pay attention to him. They should love him. They should adore him. They should pattern themselves after him. He is the outgoing, flirtatious blue. He is the warrior, the fighter, the hero. In his own mind at least.

Tammaruth will flirt with any dragon of any gender indiscriminately and is just as likely to put his affections towards a male as he is a female, though he will always chase when a green rises - given the chance. It isn't as if he is always there. Though he will be vehemently upset for a short amount of time before returning to his overly peppy and flirtatious manner. To him... "love" is just a four letter word that only really has any meaning between rider and can be thrown around as freely as one wants.

He can be serious and is naturally brave. Nothing scares him. He will stand up to anything at risk of his own life when it comes down to it and is not afraid to dive head first. He is over confident. Although confident to the point of foolishness, he isn't stupid and he knows his limits and what is safe and not. He just makes snap decisions... with the help of Devine.

He heartily dislikes the mutation colors and, if he were to have his way, would see them all perish from the face of Pern... or at least be isolated so they could no longer breed. He is opinionated and, often will tell Devine that he believes they should be killed the moment they are out of the egg.
