Name: Gunteera
Name Pronounced: Gun-tear-ah
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Character Type: Weyrling
Rank: Apprentice Dragonhealer
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Current Location: Angel's Cove Weyr
Appearance: Gunteera has long, dark brown hair that's usually styled in a partial ponytail. The top part has a braid on either side, fashioned to gather the rest of her hair before ending in a leather tie and left loose to fall with the rest of her waist-length hair. Her hazel eyes hold wisdom beyond her turns, but can be a comforting gaze for someone who feels nervous or shy. She's tall like her father, and slender like her mother had been, but don't let her build fool you. She has the strength for any sort of task, having grown up in the lower caverns, doing nearly every job put out there. She wears neutral colored dresses and simple so as not to hamper with any of her tasks. Never one for accessories, all she carries is a belt knife for emergency purposes.
Personality: She's cheery and loves to see a sad face smile, even a little bit. She used to be anxious. Anxious for the one thing that she wanted most in all of Pern. And she's finally accomplished it. She's finally a dragonrider. All those times she's Stood and not Impressed finally paid off, because now she CAN make a difference on Pern. She's still hopeful in many things. Hopeful that things will get better or that her new Weyr will thrive after it's rocky beginning. Hardworking is an understatement. She'll work from the time she wakes to the time she sleeps, never wanting to miss something that could help her meet new people or learn something new or just find a new way to make an ordinary task just plain fun. Always the optimist, she seeks out just a tiny bit of hope or good in every situation.
History: Born in the fall, Gunteera was the result of a flight that her father's brown failed to catch. But that's how things happen in Weyrs and she's accepted that. She grew up with her father present in her life more often than the average dragonrider. It was probably mostly due to her mother who worked in the Lower Caverns. Once she was of age to begin chores, she did such tasks well and always seemed to be looking for more to do.
At 12 turns, she started helping more in the dragon infirmary, wanting to get as close as she could to as many dragons as possible. It was there, that she began an apprenticeship to the Weyr DragonHealer and her interest in dragons grew.
At 14, an injured blue dragon decided that Gunteera should Stand and she willingly accepted the Search and began Candidacy shortly after. Throughout her Candidacy, she Stood many times, but was often passed up. Time and time again, all she could think about afterwards was why was she waiting? But, she never looked back. Always forward and so kept going through each Hatching, continuing her dragonhealing between clutches and whenever she could fit it into her ever busy schedule.
At 17 turns, she was out on an herb collection for the healers when she found a wild flit nest that had just hatched. In her awe and wonder, a little green snatched her piece of jerky that she had been chewing and therefore caused an Impression. She named the green Hope just because she was as close to Gunteera's dream as she could possibly get.
And at 19, her father requested transfer to the young, Angel's Cove Weyr and she requested transfer as well, hoping that maybe it was just the Weyr that she was in that kept her from Impressing the dragon of her dreams.
Now the Hatching has come and Gunteera Stood in quiet hopefulness of just one of those twenty eggs to hold her very own lifemate. Nearly halfway through the Hatching, her doubts rose, especially when the only gold of the clutch seemed like Hers wasn't there, but then that shimmery dragonet's eyes met Gunteera's and her life began anew as she was 'claimed' by the dragonet. Gold Lulith was why she had been waiting so long, because she wasn't destined for a flaming dragon, but a queen. One that could help Pern thrive with each clutch instead of demolish Thread as it fell.

Dragon Information:
Dragon Name: Lulith
Dragon Color: Gold
Dragon Age: 3 Months
Flight Wing: Weyrling Wing
Appearance: Lulith is quite big for a young gold, but she's well proportioned, her wings seeming just a hair too long and broad, but once she fills out a bit more, no one will be able to notice. She's a very bright yellow gold from her noble head clean to the tip of her gently tapered tail, shaded slightly toward honey toward her belly. Burnished talons shade well with her honeyed legs. Her hide seems to shimmer with each breath, her wing membranes more of a burnished glisten.
Personality: Hatched from the Evil Eye Egg, Lulith matches her shell well. Gentle and sweet she is not. Two words that describe her very well are Willfull and Stubborn. She has no respect for any authority but her own, and doesn't hesitate to push away those who refuse her the things she wants. Determined to have her way in all things, Lulith is a dragon that will be hard to handle for her lifemate, but with patience she can be taught to temper herself. Then when patience doesn't work, having a lifemate more stubborn than she is will. With her rather feisty personality, Lulith certainly sticks out from others of her color. She will be large when fully grown, perhaps even bigger than her mother Shuteth. As she grows, she'll learn when to use her bossy ways for good, but will take matters into her own claws the second she doesn't get her way. Her lifemate will have to be watchful during these times in order to prevent a fight.
Abilites and Weaknesses: Bossy which can help her and/or make others alienate her for a time.
Weyr of Origin: Angel's Cove Weyr
If Impressed at Angel's Cove:
Sire/Dam: Bronze Kyrith/Gold Shuteth
Clutch Name: New Beginnings
Weyrling Class: New Beginnings

Pets Information:
Number of pets: 1
Pet 1 Type: Green Firelizard
Pet 1 Name: Hope
Appearance: She's lean in appearance and well proportioned. Her hide is a murky green, like that of deep pond water, fading darker as it reaches her belly and legs. She has a lighter green smudge along one side of her nose and her right forepaw is that same lighter green.
Personality: She's quiet, sticks close to her pet, and is a bit timid. Things can spook her rather easily and she'll either disappear Between or hide near her pet. She's not quite there yet, being only two turns old, but she'll make a good messanger flit once she's matured well.
