Guiding Light Egg

Nabrimeth reels with the contractions that are urging her onward. She scans the sands for a suitable spots and moves right into the center, hissing Wrencath out of the way. Here, she strains, stretching her neck out to fix her eyes on one of the other eggs as if setting her sights on a goal. Then, with a shudder of relief, she leaves behind a rather bulky egg. Nabrimeth snorts at it, seeming a little put out, though one might swear she has a draconic grin on her face.

Large and sturdy by comparison, this egg lies nestled as if it had risen like a beacon from the very sands themselves. The unusual length would give it an almost cylindrical shape, except for the fact that the base is still indeed wider then the elegantly tapered tip. Wide, robust and washed with touches of sea-blue that splash up both sides, the egg is wrapped in hues of pale stone that provide a foundation of unyielding steadfastness. A bright glow, much like that of Rukbat on water, intermingles with whites that follow the curves inward toward an apex burning with the resolute promise of safe harbor in the fiery reds and sultry yellows that rest upon it.

Guiding Light egg gives one last flourishing twitch, the dance coming to an end and the last 'veil' coming away in a soft explosion of shell resembling applause that leaves a small malachite green revealed in all her regal glory.'

Tempered Graceful Green

Perfectly proportioned in every sense of the word, this green dragon's limbs and body come together in a streamlined visual of royal bearing. Her slender neck held in a near permanent arch of regality curves down along neck ridges which sweep backwards with notable elegance ending in a tail that coils and uncoils with undeniable grace. Fashioned as if from a polished green gem, soft hide is subtly marbled, with the lights of the heavens either enhancing or muting the effects depending on the angle they touch upon her. A sweetly shaped muzzle broadens outward to encompass eyes that hold the wisdom of the ages. Head knobs washed in the palest of sage greens give the appearance of a noble headdress while majestic wingsails of lucent radiance furl along her sides like that of a lady's hand fan, unfurling in a neat and precise manner with just a hint of coquettish curl at the tips. Moving with self-contained dignity, femininity is never far off with a refined sense of 'being'.

Temperament

Possessed with aristocratic ways and an exotic grace, Seteth is your debutante at the Gather from the moment that she breaks her shell. In fact, she'll think it's -her- job to refine you into the proper girl you should be through her guided suggestions. If one of the bronze hatchlings ruin her well-oiled hide, much to your consternation, she is the voice of calm to your storm: « Fear, do not, Madison. Perfect you'll have it the second time around. » Even if it usually means extra work for you, for Seteth believes a proper lady works at her skill until it is perfect. She is a dragon of cleanliness, so when you arrive at the barracks in your dirty clothes, « Clean first, perhaps? Feel better you will be, » is the first thing she will notice and suggest. She is one that enjoys upkeeping the altogether image of you and her for the Weyr, showing the others how she thinks a 'proper and studious' rider pair should be and act.

Next to prim and proper, Seteth can be a stickler for following the rules - especially as a weyrling. You want to break curfew with some of the others? « Better than that, we are, » she would pompously. Find listening to the weyrlingmaster boring? « Important his words are. Remember, Madison, » she would intone. If you fail to salute a rider in her presence, she just may come bump you into remembering. Once again, always looking out for their whole image to the Weyr and refining how you need to be.

Seteth, however, is not all for having no fun. Once all your chores are done for the day, much to her nitpicking for them to be, she is quite a fun-loving dragonet. She'll be the one creating new games to be played with her clutchmates out of the most mundane of objects (the sheet off your cot, for example, could be used a dragon-type tug-of-war). This is where the glimmers of her rebel streak come into play. On those rare occasions, where she could be convinced, she could play and get dirty « Just once, » is her reasoning. It won't be often enough for it to be recognized as such, but it will certainly suggest that there's more to this dainty green than meets the eye. She also loves to swim and isn't foreign to little gossip sessions, which is ultimately more of her kind of 'fun' than any rough-and-tumble game.

Your lady of refinement will be slow to mature, lingering on the essences of her youth longer than most dragonets her age. It will show in her need to nitpick at everything you do, even down to the way you eat and the way your hair falls. This youthful quirk will always stay shy of annoying, reigning back only when Seteth feels that she is stepping over her limit towards irritating.

When she does finally mature, it will show in her more proud and regal-like qualities, much like it would in a lady holder. At this stage, Seteth will be less-nitpicky and more precise and calculated. She'll be the one to tell you to hold your head high when you're down and even encourage you to make better decisions. Her interactions with the other clutchmates will seem more calculated, but fond, making sure to hold herself just alittle better - and try to fly better - than the others.

She'll be one you can count on to back you in any situation, even if she may not agree on it (and she will let you know her stand on the matter). She could be the running commentary on your life, from the major things: « Thread has come. Go we must! » to the little things: « Wear -that-, will you? Are you sure? » The little rebel streak that made its late appearance in her youth will still pop out in those deliciously rare moments, like when you're thinking it's time to sleep for the night and she suddenly chimes in for a very late night swim. Like a Weyrsecond close to her Weyrleader, she will stay in your thoughts - always refining your place in the Weyr.

While her first flight may be late in coming, come it will and bringing with it a complete change in her personality. Seteth will discard all vestiges of dignity and ladylike behavior at this time in your lives to become the rough housing tomboy that will actually seek out ways to get dirty in play when she's proddy. Perhaps inducing a game of mud flinging with the male dragons, not being nearly as interested in bathings and oilings as is usually the case, or eating her kills in a sloppy and careless manner where usually she'd be a fastidious diner. While your green turns from refined lady to all out rebel, you will be her antithesis suddenly understanding and embracing femininity, etiquette and diplomacy as if leaching them from your lifemate herself. Seteth in flight itself will lead her suitors in the usual acrobatic merry dance that only a green can, with the notable exception of her taking pre-flight rough housing into the air with her too. Likely not afraid to bump into a blue here, sneak a try at pulling that brown's tail over there before streaking out of reach once again, bugling her taunting challenges. It will be a male of much patience and strength of character that would likely outwit and outplay her.

Fighting threadfall is where the rebel lady holder of Pern comes to the fore once again in Seteth. While you may see it as such, and find this side to her at first a little bewildering, she will simply be drawing on a deeper reserve not oft seen, to get the job at hand done. The warrior within, won't be afraid or restrained in fighting for all that she holds dear, that being you, the weyr and Pern. She'll roar her defiance at the ancient enemy that dares intrude upon 'her' skies, dive, barrel roll and backwing while flaming strongly, until every last thread in her path is consumed perhaps exhausting herself the first few times out. This drive to protect may land her (and by default you) in trouble with your wingleader, for falling out of formation will be seen as irrelevant in the face of what she feels she must do. It will be up to you, to keep firm control over her at this time and will surely test your bonds and authority learned during weyrlinghood.

Public Impression Message

Tempered Graceful Green's arched neck turns an imperial head over her shoulder, eyes whirling in appraising interest at a particular candidate. With measured steps, tail trailing attractive patterns in the sands of her wake, the newly hatched green comes to a collected halt in front of the youngest girl of the grouping.

Private Impression Message

The warmth of velvet cloaks your mind, enfolding it in a luxurious embrace of love. Soft whisperings of fabric reach out and brush against your thoughts. The sensation seeming both new and forever there at the same time as words are delivered in a softly pitched, fluttering « Seteth, am I. » With notable decorum and declaration of possession, Tempered Graceful Green reaches out her sweet muzzle toward you stopping just short of touching it to your forehead « As one, grow we shall, Madison. »

Mindvoice

Cloaking both yourself and others in the warm embrace of her voice, she's the essence of sumptuous velvet with her soft-spoken cultured undertones of etiquette. At times as soothing as the fabric itself on bare skin and at others, richly jeweled as she caresses, envelops and swirls through in whispers of opulence. Slow to anger but renting and tearing through the wealth of her voice when she does so. Soft and fluttering as a weyrling her voice will develop into having a deeper quality that is steadily measured as it wraps across your mind, with an unusual style of speech - « Better than that you are Madison. » - « Losing your temper, helping it won't. » - « Do it, I didn't. »

Itchyspots

Like most little dragons, Seteth's hide needs constant attention. This is a dragon that prides her hide being perfectly oiled, and she knows that you can do it! Ofcourse, some areas tend to itch more than others for her, like the spot right beneath her left wing and the spot just at the back of her head. These areas may need the most attention when she starts to complain of the itch, and she would be your friend for life when you relieve her of them.

Limerick

A bright glow that yields regal green,

With power and grace to be seen.

Chores to be done,

But games are still fun!

Dainty and royal, her love is pristine.

Dragon Inspirations

Seteth is based off of Nefertiti, an ancient Egyptian queen. Seteth ( pronounced as 'Sah-TETH') is derived from the Egyptian name of Nefertiti's youngest daughter, Setepenre.

Egg Inspiration: The inspiration for this egg comes from the Lighthouse of Alexandria which is found on the Island of the Pharos in Egypt. Among the wonders of the world, this lighthouse stands between 115 and 150 meters tall, earning it a place among the tallest manmade constructs of ancient times. It was a beacon and a landmark along Egypts flat coastline. For more info.
