Melt in Your Mouth Egg
A quiet rumble from Sruth is short-lived, as if a silent regard broke free to the surface, as Teonath's rest is once again interrupted by an uncomfortable tension in her diminutive frame. But that discomfort is short-lived, and a gentle caress of her tail to the sands is evidence of just how much melting ease relieves the egg from the duct. Glinting gazes back and forth, reflected in the multifaceted eyes of each bearer, serve to match the bright accents of the mostly-brown egg next revealed.
Medium brown pours over rounded edges and plump curves, coating this egg in a practically uniform shade of carob. Breaking up the sweetly smooth darkness are scattered flecks of blue and green - just a few: near both base and apex, and one sliver of grass-green along a side; all so bright they look nearly metallic. In one spot streaky lines of a lighter brown crisscross over the egg's middle, intersecting to create the impression of an eight-rayed star.
A loud crunching noise from Melt In Your Mouth egg heralds the end of the beginning, and it splits along a slim fissure as surely as if it were sawed in two. Revealed among the ruins is a Lights in Lime Green, ready and waiting to make her statuesque entrance.
Lights in Lime Green
The triangular set to this young green's stately figure, combined with her flawless hide and rounded angles, allow for portrait-perfect poses at every opportunity. A light, velvety green shades her curved neck and slightly wider haunches, assisting the appearance of natural poise and the steely grace of each movement. Splashes of vivid, citrus green form vague circles that overlap across neckridges and between similarly-highlighted wings, brightest at their bases and fading into pale, polished wingsails. Sturdy yet refined like the rest of her, her wings curl slightly even when stretched to full breadth, an aspect - rather than an affectation - that aids her performative demeanor. Broadly-dappled coloring grants her a consistently well-lit appearance, partially veiling the dark cords of muscle in thick, powerful legs, but doing nothing to hide the strength evident in that brutally fierce gaze.
Temperament
Dramatic, persistent, occasionally self-absorbed: if Deneth is anything, she is always ready to strike a pose, and unapologetically herself to the fullest extent.
Your statuesque dragon is deceptive, unique beauty and apparent grace belying the clumsiness - and the temper - that lurks within. While entirely (and deliberately) sweet-tempered most of the time, Faranth help anyone who makes her angry. A single joke at her expense can release a rage fit for the undoing, and, like her sire, her growls are an ever-potent mix of controlled and threatening. So let's make sure one thing is clear: it is not only in your world that Deneth is the star. Deneth, you will come to understand, is the star of every show, and she will make sure it stays that way. There are no boundaries when it comes to self-promotion, no limits for the lines of her limelight. She is the center of attention -- and if anyone's got a problem with that, they will answer to her.
Your green is demanding, bossy, and an utter ham, through and through. She knows what needs to get done, and if it's not done her way, there better be a very good explanation. She's impatient and tough, and the phrase 'a will of her own' doesn't begin to describe her attitude - but it is all these things that make Deneth as exceedingly lovable as she is. She can flip back to her usual good humor with one word, and she never holds a grudge. She knows exactly who she is and exactly who you are, and will defend the pair of you until she wins - for when it comes to you, she never lets anything slide. Fiercely loyal as well as honorable, you have the sometimes surprising distinction of being the one and only thing on Pern that Deneth will put before herself.
She knows what needs to get done, and if it's not done her way, there better be a very good explanation. She'll also be sure to tell you whenever you do something unfit for -her- rider. « You do NOT, » she'd say, growing unabashedly shrill within your head, « go gallivanting outside in the _bowl_ with NO CLOTHES ON! IN FRONT OF MYYYY AUDIENCE! » As shrill as she can be, it is the deadly quiet leading up to her outrage that is most effective. She's impatient and tough, and the phrase 'a will of her own' doesn't begin to describe her attitude - but it is all these things that make Deneth as exceedingly lovable as she is.
One somewhat unusual aspect of your green is her enormous appetite, which will add an extra difficulty to weyrling life - although at least you'll have to worry less about her overeating...once you figure out what 'normal' is like for her, that is. Weyrlinghood will be somewhat trying for Deneth, as she's forced to share her precious spotlight; then again, she'll revel in clutchmate bonding and even in the shared quarters - until, of course, she finds it difficult to get her beauty sleep. Deneth will strive to be the best, and when she falls short she'll deny it like a pro. Don't tell her that her first landing wasn't graceful, because according to her, it was perfect. You'll also have to restrain her temper when reprimands come your way - as they often will, for all the weyrlings. Deneth will leap at the chance to defend you, but she'll learn, as you will, that the bitter comes with the sweet.
Deneth is an amorous green, it's true, though only to those very particular few who she sees fit to suit her. When she picks one from the group, Faranth help him - that brown, bronze, or blue will have no rest when she's around, and your green is not one easily deterred. She remains persistent in all things, including labors of love and lust - though that's not to say she can't be distracted. Deneth knows the right way to be romantic, and if someone near to her appears to fall short of those ideals - whether it be a clutchmate, yourself, or even the object of her own affections - she will waste no time in directing the proper course. « No, no, Isorath, you must tell her about the stars, and how luminous her hide looks tonight. Then you may wait for the proper invitation before accompanying her on her ledge. That is the -only- way to conduct yourself. » Deneth's romantic inclinations and occasionally leech-like affections may alter when it comes time for her to rise in flight. In addition, her customary astounding appetite will be among the first things to change when she's about to mate, and the stark contrast between her usual ravenous mealtimes and the quick work of blooding before flight may surprise you. She will fly farther and faster than you're used to, and for that time in the air, her grace will be purely genuine.
Ultimately, your green is as self-righteous as she is high-maintenance, as melodramatic as she is grounded. With her dam's lofty coolness and her sire's easy passion, Deneth is a handful - but she's your handful.
Public Impression Message
Lights in Lime Green turns with an enormous sweep of movement, and focuses abruptly and decidedly on a silvery-blue-eyed candidate. This one. -This- one deserves her.
Private Impression Message
At once torrential and calm, a world of brightness opens up before you, spotlights centering somewhere within your rib cage and at the back of your mind, flooding the stage of your senses with glinting, warm light. It would be a strange sensation if it weren't such a perfect fit - how else to describe this new part of you that seems, somehow, to have always been there? « Deneth, » comes a voice that's familiar for all that it's never been heard, mingling with your own thoughts and tinting every angle to her liking: she's hungry, you can feel that, and she's -yours-. « Deneth, » she repeats, self-satisfied, « but I'm sure you already knew that, my Te'an. »
Mindvoice
Deneth's mindvoice is, in a word, unique. In another, expressive. Your green can move seamlessly from melodic sweetness to grating, sandpaper rage, from breathy lyricism to hard-edged insistence. In fact, she can do it all at once just by stressing the right syllables. She will never be easy to argue with - not when she can somehow give the impression of a fierce yell without actually raising her volume - though in everyday terms, she is sensibly contained. It's when she wants something, uttering that sickly-sweet, « Oh, TE'AN...» that you'll want to run.
Dragon Inspirations
There have been many a Muppet and Muppet-like creature in the world, but none will ever be able to top the infamous Miss Piggy. (And it's in her contract that it stays that way.)
Name Inspiration: Deneth comes from Denes, a Greek and Hungarian word for 'drama' - a concept for which your green will know no limits.
Egg Inspiration: Chocolate Cadbury egg, wrapped in little bits of foil. It's chocolate, how can it not be a warm fuzzy?
