Meli and green Flarinth

Gender:	Female
Age:	17
Current Location:	Brondir Weyr
Rank:	Wingrider
Physical Description:	Meli is 5'8" and of slender build, yet her slight build hides her physical strength. She has dark brown hair, which she wears cropped short and pale green eyes, which seem to sparkle when she laughs. Her face is slightly too long to be considered beautiful with a thin threadscore on her left cheek. Recently she has lost a lot of weight and could be mistaken for a ghost haunting the weyr. She generally wears green clothing, which matches her eyes; unfortunately her eyes are healer green so she sometimes gets mistaken for a healer.
Personality:	Once cheerful and often laughing, the stress of the death of Alyan and gold Jemaith has taken a great toll on Meli. She has become quiet and unsocial often going off with Flarinth to swim with the dolphins, which they both love to do. While Flarinth is dangerously curious about things Meli is more sensible which has saved them from several near accidents. She is currently rather nervous about her first flight, as Flarinth has yet to rise.
History:	Meli was born in southern weyr to wingrider M'ret and a journeywoman weaver Ellys. After an uneventful childhood she was chosen to be a candidate at the age of 15 and after failing to impressed; and the fight with a young rider who was trying to "comfort" her after the hatching, she asked to leave for Brondir weyr where a clutch was hardening. There she impressed green Flarinth. After completing her weyrling training the terrible death of Alyan occurred during her first thread flight. This caused Meli to blame herself for the Weyrwoman's death, resulting in her being taken out of the wing she was flying in causing her spending more and more time alone with her Flarinth. During this period they spent a lot of time swimming in the sea near Seahaven and met the pods of dolphins that swam there; after many games with the dolphins Meli has begun to cheer up again and has begun spending more of her time in the weyr again.
Pets:	A small white feline kit that moved into Meli's weyr and sleeps curled up on Flarinth's wallow. Meli has yet to name him.
Dragon Information: Name:	Flarinth
Colour:	Green
Physical Description:	Flarinth is rather large for a green, though like her rider slightly more slender than is usual. Her hide is a beautiful deep green, although her underside is noticeably paler with some thin blue streaks. She also has a small threadscore on her tail tip.
Personality:	Flarinth is overly curious for a dragon, and has an almost childlike joy in everything around her; unfortunately this has caused problems for both her and her rider, such as her decision to investigate a new still smoking volcano, which almost ended in disaster. She especially enjoys swimming with dolphins, and most days will spend at least three hour splashing about if she can, as her rider also enjoys swimming she can generally get away with this.
