Slim and washed with dawn's first light, this elegant young gold bears herself with a subtle grace, her gaze steady and step smooth. The twist of roseate hue flares into existence along the strong line of her jaw, sweeping down her long neck and burning brighter until sparks scatter across her thin flanks, collecting around and accentuating the delicate joints of spars and limbs. From those slender spars, the white-gold of her wings is scattered with fiery jewels that cast deep amber shadows in their wake, the very image of a comet-filled sky. Long of angular limb and tail, she moves with purpose, the icy white that touches her talons bright against the molten lava that clings to her large paws.

Beholden to You Egg
In the right light, this egg glints gold and shines with the warmth of summer sunshine. Though its shell is smooth, it is covered with a pattern of hundreds of tiny, uneven circles, each of which is marked with the same shadowy stamp, unrecognizable symbols melted into their surface. It's only up close that the glossy blood red that runs through the gaps between each little circle becomes visible, an undercurrent of darkness beneath light.
Beholden to You Egg shivers and twists a little on the spot before it shatters from the top down, sending fragments of shell in all directions. Released at last, the Spirited Brilliance Gold Hatchling tumbles to the Sands still all curled up tight. She doesn't move for a moment or two, then lifts her head to blink up at the world around her and soon sets herself to rights all in a hurry. It won't do to meet everyone like this.

Temperament
In her early days, you might believe that it's a ball of pure energy that hatched from Isyath's egg and not a dragonet, for that's just what she'll seem to be. Into everything and everyone, she'll sleep less than her siblings and want more to eat to fuel her investigations. It's not that she causes chaos and mayhem everywhere she goes, only that there are so many things to see and learn and she'll try to take in as much information as she can all at once. Of course, this method of interacting with the world leaves her with some rather obvious gaps in knowledge that you will have to fill, for she'll often state the answer to something without knowing just how she got from A to B, only that she got there in the first place. These little lapses won't bother her, since she's /right/ in the conclusion she reaches so much of the time. This is not to say that /her/ conclusion and that which is generally accepted will be the same! She'll often ask you to explain how her view or answer works, because she knows it does, even if it's not the one you would have provided. On occasion, she can become overloaded with information and essentially need to shut down for a while to try and make sense of it all with varying degrees of success, much like how her dam is prone to be overwhelmed by her sensitivity.
She'll want you to join in with her games and her investigations as often as is possible, even if it means you have to interact with those you otherwise might not. As long as she's comfortable with what she's doing and not embarrassed by anything, all is well and good, but the moment something takes a turn that she doesn't like, she's off. She'll turn her back on the world and slink off to lick her proverbial wounds in quite the sulky and sullen fashion, until she forgets who or what it was that she found so distasteful or convinces herself that she has no reason to feel remotely insecure. Hunting is something that she'll excel at, but should she misjudge an angle or miss her target, she'll pretend she was never after that particular animal in the first place and pull her 'sulky' act in a far more subtle way if anyone is watching.
When she realises the power that her colour has given her, it will be difficult at first to convince her that the strength of a queen's will shouldn't be exerted all the time to get others to do as she wishes. It's a trick that she'll try with her male siblings more than her sisters, even the grown-ups on occasion. Though not particularly vain, she believes herself to be beautiful and will expect her status and appearance to get her what she wants. She'll not be nasty with it; on the contrary, she'll be more sweet than anything and, at times, might not even realise just what she's doing. It's a routine she'll try on you too and you could run the risk of raising a very spoiled little dragon if you give in to her every whim. Incredibly expressive, she speaks as much with her body as with her mindvoice, little nods and gestures, such as the rustle of wings or twitch of tail, accompanying her words, which are often enough to give her away if she's trying to hide her true intentions.
As she matures, she'll learn to start looking a little before she leaps, though she'll never lose that impetuous streak and will always be ready to get involved with anything that looks like it could be a laugh, whether it's hunting wild in a group with her friends or playing in the mud with weyrlings, queenly dignity be damned. She'll often be the leader in her adventures, not because of her colour, but because, more often than not, she'll have been the one who had the idea to tear off to somewhere-or-other in the first place. Her wing are her family, a group she'll often check in on, yet she'll feign irritation if they ask her for anything outside drills, unless, of course, they have a plan to cause some mischief. Duties (hers and yours) will be taken relatively seriously and she'll want to look out for the population of her Weyr, a slight to Fort or one of its own taken as an insult to her, which will often result in schemes to 'put things right'. How far she gets with these is largely down to you...
When it's her time to rise, she'll become quieter and fixate on the purely physical aspects of her potential mates. Any males she might have got along well with before will now only be acceptable if she finds no fault with their appearance (and who knows what tiny details she might consider faults!). If you have a favourite, you might be able to sway her whilst she's on the ground, but in the air it's anyone's game. To put it simply, she'll want her suitors to impress and the first one she finds distracting enough might well be the one who wins her. Her decisions might not be logical and you may find that she picks someone you deem unsuitable on numerous occasions, but she'll defend her choice of mate and stick with him, if only to convince herself of her being right. Watching over her eggs is something that won't come easily to her and she'll often want to leave you (or her mate) to watch them whilst she goes off to investigate the outside world, but, should anyone (including you) remark upon her supposed lack of maternal instinct, guess where you'll find her? That's right, right back with her clutch (even if she might be in something of a huff about it).
All in all, Isyath can be an impetuous and challenging character at times, but her heart is almost always in the right place. She'll trust you to guide her when she can't quite see all the steps before her and in turn will always be your champion no matter what is thrown at the two of you. She knows that you'll always find an answer to everything between you, even if it's not always conventional (or the one you really want!).
Public Impression Message
Spirited Brilliance Gold Hatchling halts in her ever so quick study of Candidate after Candidate, head slowly tilting to one side. She stays just like that for almost a half a minute, then picks up her path again with a certain confidence, steps measured and purposeful. Without so much as glancing at another white-robed figure, she presents herself at the feet of a dark-haired young woman with green eyes. Tilting her head this way and that as though checking for imperfections, she makes an approving croon of a noise and noses the way of one of her hands. Yes. This one.
Private Impression Message
All of a sudden, it's as if you've been plunged into absolute darkness. Your senses are useless; there's nothing to see, smell, hear or touch for moment after long moment, before you catch the tiniest of sparks out of the corner of your vision. Then another. And another. And another, until the darkness is filled with starlight and a gentle warmth rushes forth. « Alisha! » Slowly, slowly, your vision begins to clear; you're returned to the Sands and you can feel the nose of the young queen at your feet nudging into the palm of your hand. « See, I knew I would, I /found/ you. I'm Isyath, » she tells you, so pleased with herself in that moment that hunger barely registers. « We'd better get moving. Lots to see! » And eat?
Mindvoice
Isyath communicates with the sounds and feel of the vast universe. When she's irritated or angry, her voice will take on a rough quality and the heat of a solar flare; when she's happy she'll shine, twinkle and chime with the feel of the ice rings of Saturn. She can be awful in her terrible, heavy blackness and freezing cold and yet beautiful with her array of lights and the warmth of so many stars. She'll be able to draw others into her gravity with ease when she chooses to shimmer sweetly, though create merry hell with an abrasiveness and force to her tone that has the potential to wreck worlds beyond her own.
Dragon Inspirations
Isyath is based on Penny from the television series 'The Big Bang Theory'. She's curious, playful and also incredibly fickle when it suits her, all of which are elements that you requested in a dragon. Her physical description is based on a picture meant to represent the big bang, which can be found at: 
Egg Inspiration: The bond for three thousand ducats between Shylock and Antonio in 'The Merchant of Venice.' If not paid back, Shylock is permitted to take a pound of flesh from closest to Antonio's heart.
Name Meaning
Isyath is a twist on 'physika', the Ancient Greek word for physics, of which astrophysics (the study of the physics of the universe) is a part.
