Off to Oz Egg
Dots of vivid red and a short streak of yellow mark the very base of the tall egg, the color all but hidden in the sand before surrendering to the more subdued end of the spectrum. Grays and browns twist around the rest of the egg in a frothing torrent, color swept from one face to the next and then around, a vortex of striated shell. The occasional patch of green surfaces between windswept dirt and cloud, along with the rare sharp corner or dark, peaked rooftop caught in the current.
With an enormous crack and a rush of movement, a Tumultuous Tornado Green prowls among the scattered fragments of Off to Oz Egg.
Tumultuous Tornado Green
A whirl of style and unmistakable presence, this green is marked from the very beginning. Her cuspate form flaunts too many sharp vertices, all angles from maw to hindquarters; even her tail whips around as if to strike. A decidedly different shade of green separates her from her clutchsisters, deep and muddy, brushed with glistening undertones that sweep in busy clouds across her form. The shimmering streaks are frequent but dark, creating a swirl of color that is all her own: ferny and reptilian, all jeweled city lit from beneath. Eggshells and sand are swept along with her movement just as navy-black wingsails, long and capelike, seem to soak up the surrounding light. Sharp even to each neckridge and the defiant, defined point of her head, her gaze may be the most dramatic of all: full of venom, or brimming with love - well, that depends on which side of the story one chooses to read.
Temperament
Quote from the show:
"I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason bringing something we must learn and we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them, and we help them in return. Well, I don't know if I believe that's true but I know I'm who I am today because I knew you."
Passionate, studious, talented, self-reliant, hopeful. Elindath is all of these, and your green is different, too, both outside and in. She is set apart by her passion, easily worked up for the cause or matter at hand, and she is self-conscious: though quick to give genuine compliments, she will have to learn how to take them. Elindath is fiercely loyal to her friends and loved ones - particularly her lifemate - and extremely empathetic. She will prove almost annoyingly adept at looking at things from all angles, stepping into another's shoes and surveying the situation from the other side of the story. You may find yourself beyond convincing, but she'll prove the other argument has its points, as well.Weyrlinghood is a time for Elindath's growth - she may never smooth those awkward angles of her form, nor will the understated beauty of her color ever shift to a more "normal" green shade - but she will grow into her own image. She will always pretend, easily joke about mistakes and mishaps; it may seem to all others that she cares little about what her clutchmates might think of her, but you'll know better. Elindath is eager to learn, and will show an inherent knack for weyrling lessons, both in patience and discipline as well as a talent for getting things right the very first time -- though you may find plans backfiring, no matter the good intentions. Her first experience in the air will be special for both of you, as she realizes a freedom she didn't know she'd had under her wings - it will be hard to keep her on the ground from that point on. ("Defying Gravity" http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/wicked/defyinggravity.htm). Elindath will come into her own during weyrlinghood and continue to grow as she ages, realizing the power of her own instincts and the importance of her beliefs.
Elindath may develop particular likings for certain male dragons, though her self-deprecating nature will not entertain the notion of silly involvements. Although the male in question might very well be equally as interested - and your green is certainly more likely to be swayed by the brain rather than the brawn - Elindath will be convinced she isn't the one. ("I'm Not That Girl": http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/wicked/imnotthatgirl.htm). However, a proddy Elindath will change: she may originally shy from compliments, but will soon realize that everyone can see things in a different way. She'll learn to turn her keen eyes not only on others, but on herself as well, and her passionate nature will twist free to soak up every moment of the new bonds formed in flight. ("As Long As You're Mine": http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/wicked/aslongasyouremine.htm). This dramatic, confident Elindath may come as quite a surprise at first.
Elindath is an optimist with an unbroken spirit, though it may be damaged in the usual courses of life. She has an ambitious heart and a careful demeanor, delicate of others even when they are not delicate with her, but failed plans and the occasional too-blunt comment may make her seem mean-hearted. She revels in the ability to share everything with you, and constantly tries her best to please you - and, eventually, to prove herself. She will come to realize the influence she hason others, and the ways in which she changes and is changed by those she holds dear. ("For Good"). Your green will always be different, and hopeful, and full of delicious inner tumult. Good or wicked? Elindath is a chaotic twister of both.
Quotes from the show:
Galinda: "And of course, from the moment she was born, she was, well, -different-."
Elphaba: "You shouldn't let ignorant statements like that bother you. I mean, I always do, but you shouldn't."
Elphaba: "I'm through accepting limits 'cause someone says they're so some things I cannot change but til I try, I'll never know"
Elphaba and Fiyero: "Just for this moment as long as you're mine come be how you want to and see how bright we shine"
Public Impression Message
Tumultuous Tornado Green stalks a circle around a pale-haired girl, then cocks her head to consider yet more candidates - from behind the candidate's back, as if the girl's only so much debris in her personal obstacle course. From that vantage she discovers something seemingly of interest and trumpets a cracking, soft-spoken note of triumph before setting out at a trot for the one she's got in mind. Angular, narrow limbs are ill-prepared for such a dash, however, and she elbows herself in the underbelly, creels indignity and pain, and stumbles forward onto her forelegs and chin right in front of a brown-curled girl. From there she peers upward, seeking the sympathy of blue eyes for her sudden plight.
Private Impression Message
At first it seems to come from very far away, a voice that's as much your own as it isn't, and a hollow feeling abruptly shifts to the base of your stomach as an overly full one centers at your chest and buries in your mind. « Elindath. It's Elindath, Linnea, and I am yours as long as you're mine. » And forever? Forever is just the perfect amount of time. That hollow feeling, that's hunger, and the full one is completion: it's as if she's always been there - how could she not have been? - spinning that spiral of dark and light.
Mindvoice
An alto more sung than spoken, Elindath's mindvoice is sweet and throaty all at once, an instrument of her emotions always thick with feeling. Though usually warm, it can take on an edge that renders the words harsher, cutting deep through the constant duality of her presence: light and dark, good and wicked.
Dragon Inspirations
Name Inspiration: A merging of Elphaba and Glinda for their more musical aspects. Reflecting both sides of this mirror, Elindath treasures the affection with which you might think of her as Elie, but prefers for the use of others the arms-length distance of her full name.
Description Inspiration: A certain Kansas tornado and the Wicked Witch of the West/Elphaba.
Dragon Inspiration: The Wicked Witch of the West of The Wizard of Oz combined with the "other side of the story": the Broadway musical Wicked's green-skinned heroine Elphaba.
