General Description:
Madiquel is made up of long limbs; long arms, long legs, and a long torso that all form into a tall teenager. Despite her youth, she is not coltish at all, but instead maintains well defined muscles of legs and arms, with a flat stomach – but also a flat chest and narrow hips. Puberty hasn’t really hit her yet, and doesn’t appear it will anytime soon.

Her face is oval of shape, with a slightly pointy chin, the shape further defined when she smiles – which she does often. Her teeth are white and straight and her smile is large and cheerful; her lips are full and pink. Madiquel’s nose is proportioned nicely for her face, and her large green eyes almost seem to pop against the pale olive of her skin and the honeyed brown of her hair and eyebrows.

Madiquel’s long limbs extend to long fingers, which are nimble and quick with small knots and trinkets, the girl often seen untangling nets and fishing lines, as well as threads for weaving and sewing. Her body claims no real freckles, but she has a few oddly placed moles; there is one on her left hip in the shape of a heart, and a trifecta of freckles on her right shoulder, forming an upside down triangle.

Overall, Madiquel is a pretty child, who promises an elegant and conventionally beautiful woman when she reaches her full growth.
General Dressing Style:
Born and raised a Weyrbrat in Katila, Madiquel spent most of her life wearing hand-me-downs from all the other Weyrbrats within Katila; some of the items were very well loved, heavily repaired, but still functional. It wasn’t until the Weyr began to look to moving North again that she found herself with more viable options of clothing.

As she aged, Madiquel developed a taste for tidy clothing; things less worn and repaired. With choices being given to her, Madiquel took to wearing fitted leather pants and cotton blouses with rolled up sleeves; things that were function for a life around dragons, and chores. Solid boots and a pair of gloves tucked into her belt completed the ensemble of clothing.

On days where getting dressed up is the code to go by, Madiquel has a few special dresses she’s managed to obtain since the Weyr moved North. They’re long and flowing, with an excess of lace and short sleeves; the skirts fall to mid-calf and she wears small heeled boots to complete the look. Her hair is often styled appropriately when she dresses up – lots of braids and pulled back from her face but falling long and loose down her back.
Maddie Ziegler
Personality
Likes:
Flowers: Madiquel has a fancy for flowers, and had her own little garden near her mother's hut before the landslide took everything away. Most of the flowers she grew were weeds, but they looked and smelled pretty and she cultivated quite the little garden, and inside the hut there was always a vase or three filled with fresh blooms.

Rain showers: Gentle rainfalls are Madiquel's favourite; they bring a freshness to the air and a dampness to the garden that do the flowers well. While Katila wasn't known for its gentle rainfalls, it just made Madiquel that much more appreciative of those that did come around.

Poetry: There wasn't a whole lot of poetry - or good poets - during her youth in Katila, but since coming North, Madiquel has found a couple of youthful Harpers who have been willing to retail their poetry to her, and she has found herself enamoured by it, if not by the young men. Madiquel hasn't had much success with creating her own poems, but she finds it entertaining to try.
Strengths:
Cheerful: Madiquel is a naturally sunny girl, with an easy smile and a bright personality. She’s one of those that is capable of brightening a room just by entering; her smile is big and never forced. Madiquel gives off all appearances of being someone who is never down, and indeed, she’s never one to display her displeasure or depression to those around her, keeping it private and to herself.

Brave: Madiquel has an inner strength that keeps her standing tall, against almost all odds; she is not easily cowed, and even when frightened, does her best to meet that fear head on and overcome it. While she doesn’t always succeed, she does come out above more often than not.

Loyal: Naturally a shy child, Madiquel doesn’t surround herself with countless individuals; instead, she maintains a handful of true and tried friends to whom she is intensely loyal. Madiquel considers it a paramount requirement of friendship to be unquestioningly loyal, faithful, and trustworthy. Thus far in her young life, Madiquel hasn’t had anyone betray her, so she hasn’t felt the sting of a broken heart, but it is something she fears in her heart of hearts.
Dislikes:
Downers: Madiquel does not enjoy being around individuals who are sour, complainers or people she calls ‘downers’ – the type of people who make others miserable, just being around them. The ones that suck the joy right out of the immediate area and leave even the brightest day feeling overcast and unpleasant. Madiquel doesn’t mind people who are genuinely upset – indeed she goes out of her way to brighten those folks up – but she will turn on a heel and abandon anyone who is sulking for the sole purpose of sulking.

Judgement: Madiquel is not a fan of judgemental individuals. This isn’t to say that Madiquel is above having judgemental thoughts herself, but rather that she keeps such things to herself, and is of the opinion that everyone else should, too. Madiquel dislikes being judged, taking such things with a grain of salt for all that she appears to accept any such comments.

Spoilt: Growing up in the communal ways of the crèche, being spoiled was not something Madiquel was subjected to; she had hand-me-down clothing, and enough attention to get her by but never more than that. As a result, she came to appreciate anything and everything she did get or have, which causes her to be rather disgusted by those who are spoiled, and cannot appreciate that fact.
Flaws:
Private: Madiquel is intensely private, keeping any negative emotions to herself and never one to dump her baggage on the doorstep of her friends. Both her fears and her dreams are kept close to the chest where she can guard them with a vengeance.

Timid: Perhaps Madiquel’s biggest flaw when it comes to making friends and socialising is her natural shyness and timidity. She is not one to put herself in the spot light, and certainly not one to do anything to draw attention to herself. While Madiquel won’t fall to pieces in the event that she becomes the centre of attention, she will certainly be incredibly uncomfortable.

Squeamish: Bugs and blood and all things gooey and gross are quick to turn Madiquel from poised and proper to green and sickly. She has no stomach for gore and blood, and has been pushed to be physically sick when she’s injured herself, as well as fainting. Bugs, on the other hand, are more inclined to make Madiquel squeal girlishly and flee in terror.
Habits & Mannerisms:
Madiquel has a habit of giggling when nervous or unsure of herself, soft little bubbles of laughter that are more adorable than anything else. She additionally smiles a lot, both when nervous and when excited. Madiquel wears a leather bracelet on her left wrist, and fiddles with it gently when anxious.
General Personality:
An inquisitive child, Madiquel has a curious streak that would get her into trouble if she weren’t so aware of avoiding trouble. As a result, Madiquel often looks in the direction of things she longs to explore or poke at, but never actually moves. Her eyes often dart about, looking at everything to be seen around her and curious about the ways work, her lip being chewed upon and her fingers wrought together.

Naturally shy, Madiquel isn’t someone who will put herself in the spotlight, and indeed, those times the spotlight is brought down upon her, she becomes a giggling and uncomfortable individual, stuttering slightly but mostly giggling between words or shy glances away. When put on the spot, Madiquel has a habit of focusing her attention on the small leather bracelet she has around her wrist, her fingers, and her feet rather than meeting the eyes of the many.

Due to her shy nature, Madiquel only has a handful of friends; it isn’t that she’s not a good friend – indeed, she is fiercely loyal – but because she isn’t comfortable going out and making them. Raised in Katila, she never had that many people around her to draw from, and since arriving North has found herself to be somewhat of a novelty to the other children her age. She was, after all, born in the mysterious South, in a Weyr, and her father is a dragonless dragonrider.

Madiquel is fiercely protective of her father and his reputation, never standing to hear gossip about the man that lost his dragon and is now assisting the Weyrleader in his job. She knows that the dragonless are something of a curiosity to people, both from within the Weyr and those outside it, but feels that that isn’t a good enough reason for people to ask insensitive questions. Not that it seems to stop them. Madiquel does her best to champion her father, but she isn’t a hot headed child and tends to fall short at simply glaring and huffing inelegantly when people start asking questions, as well as refusing outright to answer any that might be asked of her.

When her limits aren’t being tested, Madiquel is a bright and sunny child, with a bright and easy smile that is warm and welcoming. With a skip in her step and a generally cheerful demeanour, Madiquel is easy to spend time with; she isn’t someone to ask countless questions, but nor is she against sharing companionable silence. On that thought, Madiquel is a private youngster, who prefers to keep her hopes and dreams close to the chest, and rarely shares her secrets with anyone. This has made her a good candidate for friends who need an ear to hear them out, without a wagging tongue.

Known:
- Looked after her father, Jajojin, after the landslide that took his dragon and her mother.
- Wants to become a Healer, and plans to continue her education after graduation.
- Had no desire to Impress, and never had.
- Impressed to Zezeth, after shrieking that the dragon wasn't dead upon Hatching.
Important History:
724.07.20 & Birth: Madiquel was born to a woman in her early thirties - Elmadira - who had flightmothed a green flight and found herself in a tumble with bronzerider J'jin. Knowing the ways of the Weyr, Elmadira made no play for J'jin to claim her child, though she did mention it to the man during her pregnancy that he was the father, and left it at that.

728 & 4 Turns: Madiquel had just celebrated her fourth birthday a month prior when the Renewed Hope clutch cracked shell. She was too young to really remember the joy at Nirinath finally flying, and the sorrow that there was no gold in the clutch, or the harsh whispers that followed blue Rayrayth between. The child found the baby dragons to be incredibly fascinating and would have been constantly underfoot had her mother not made sure she was instead cooped up in the crèche.

730 & 6 Turns: Too young to really understand what is going on, Madiquel is fascinated by the sudden arrival of the young men and women who were Stolen by the Searchriders. She doesn't really understand why they are unhappy about their arrival in her home, and she is too young to do more than question them and be confused when they stalk off without answering.

731 & 7 Turns: Even young as she is, Madiquel is swept up in the excitement of a gold egg being laid; she is as curious and delighted as her fellow Weyrbrats, and often creeps as close as she can to see the egg without getting growled at by Nirinath or Tsuen. Comparably, the public lashing of a greenrider is something that Madiquel is sheltered from, as are the other young Weyrbrats in the crèche.

732 & 8 Turns: Even the children such as Madiquel are startled by the very young Krypth taking flight, but the implications of it are vastly lost on Madiquel. Instead, she celebrates with her friends over more eggs on the Sands, and begins to talk of someday Impressing herself. Madiquel mourns with the rest of the Weyr when green Unowth of Iruvia goes between for no apparent reason, though the loss is quickly over cast by the second flight of Krypth's. Madiquel is vastly unaffected by the poisoning of D'ren, focusing more on her studies and playing with her friends.

733 & 9 Turns: The flights of Krypth are mostly ignored as common grounds now, with more attention being put upon the execution of bronzerider T'shiro and his dragon Cucluith, though Madiquel doesn't really understand why the man was executed, until her mother sits her down and explains that he was responsible for the poisoning of D'ren, an event that surprises Madiquel, her childish attentions being oblivious to the nature of Weyrleader D'ren's health.

734 AL & 10 Turns: The landslide destroyed everything Madiquel took for granted in her life; her family, her safety, and the power of the dragonriders to be stronger than anything the world could throw at them - after all, they kept Thread away! In the aftermath of the landslide, Madiquel had lost her mother, her father had lost his dragon, and she had lost everything she had come to associate as being the norm. As the Weyr is rebuilt in New Katila, Madiquel finds herself attached to what remains of her father, doing her best to keep things normal in her own small world as she brings him food and begs him to eat, before she cries herself to sleep at night.

735 & 11 Turns: The move to the North is an exciting time for Madiquel, who sticks by her father but watches everything with open curiosity and excitement. She doesn't care where they go, so long as she is still with Jajojin, whom she has come to deeply care about since the Landslide, in more of a mothering way than as his daughter. The new living arrangements mean Madiquel is able to get her first real dresses and better clothing over all than the hand-me-down rags she's grown up in.

736.07.20 & 12 Turns: For her twelfth birthday, Madiquel received a gift of a firelizard egg from some of the creche staff. To all their surprise the egg Hatched on the day, spilling a little green firelizard Madiquel called Clover, into her delighted hands. Madiquel, who lives most of the time with her dragonless father, does her best to keep the little green away from the man when it becomes apparent that he dislikes her Impression.

Madiquel is both sad and excited when the Weyr splits, with dragonriders and Weyrfolk alike moving to populate Fort and Ista. She's proud that the dragonrider population has reached such a state that it can spread out, but sad to see some of those she knew move to a new location. Once again, she remains with her father, and does her best to help out in the creche where she is still spending a lot of her time, despite her twelve Turns. She currently plans to assist the women there with the young weyrbrats, rather than take on more mundane tasks such as cooking or sewing.

Dragon Information
Name:
Zezeth
Colour:
Green
Pronounced:
zee-zee-th
Wing and Rank:
[Select] of
Zezeth
Adult Stats
27 foot length, 14 foot tall, with a 40.5 foot wingspan.
Clutch Details:
Gold Thallyath x Blue Faxxonth at Ista Weyr on the 07.08.740 AL [Clutch Page]
Weyrlinghood
Like her clutchmates, Zezeth escaped from her egg malnourished, and ridiculously skinny. With her head too big, her body too bony, and her energy non-existent that first day, Zezeth was assumed dead for far too long.

As her health improves, and her hide follows suit, Zezeth goes from a sickly yellow-green to a beautiful olive green. Zezeth's legs are a hint darker than the rest of her body, and if one really looks, there are hints of paler green mixing with the deeper green, marbled together.
Zezeth
Adulthood
Zezeth grows into a delicate dragon; she loses the horrifying appearance of being underweight, but retains the delicate, incredibly fragile build; Zezeth looks like a strong wind will break her in half, and it probably wouldn't be far off. All of Zezeth's growth went into her height and length, her wingspan, and didn't leave a lot left for bone growth. She's light, and delicate. Her bones are smaller and break easily, as will likely be discovered as she grows. She will never be able to fight Threadfall, and she will quickly learn to hunt smaller prey, as her first tangle with a full grown beast will be a terrible experience for her, and her friends.
Mindvoice
Zezeth rarely speaks, even to Madiquel; she prefers to communicate through emotions and physical expressions, as well as occasionally images. When Zezeth does speak, she has a very low, rumbling and gravelly voice. It's in the deep registers, and soft and soothing to listen to - a kind of calm like waves breaking on the shore before a long awaited storm.
Personality
Zezeth is a sassy dragon with an amusing sense of humour, and a deep desire to learn everything about the world around her. She enjoys listening to others speak - human, dragon, it doesn't much matter - and she loves spending time just curled up in the sun and watching the clouds float by in the sky.

Dedicated, Zezeth can also be very stubborn and disinclined to take 'no' for an answer. There is no obstacle she cannot overcome somehow, and her health is something she scoffs at - not in a dismissive way that implies she has no respect for her personal limits, but rather in a way that it is part of the challenge, not a reason to quit before she has even tried.

Resignation is something Zezeth is not immune to. Mostly she feels this in regards to Madiquel and the girl's constant vigilance when it comes to Zezeth, especially when Zezeth was an infant and Madiquel wouldn't even sleep for fear of Zezeth suddenly up and dying. As if she'd just up and die. Really!

Intelligent, almost to a fault, Zezeth enjoys puzzles and being smarter than her brothers. Which she is quite sure she is, thank you very much. She isn't afraid to pit her mind against anyone who challenges her, for while her body cannot be guaranteed to hold up, Zezeth's mind has never let her down, and it gives her a haughty arrogance not often seen in greens. The fact that Madiquel is an intelligent human and they can - together - puzzle out better answers to even more difficult questions just makes Zezeth that much more smug.

Zezeth is a fiercely protective dragon of her rider. It didn't take her long to see the innocence in Madiquel was something everyone saw, and that everyone wanted to protect. Zezeth sees no reason to let her beautiful, innocent human become something like - gasp - Sh'ran. That hussy! Not that she thinks there is anything wrong with it, perse (if only because Sh'ran's woes cause Dyoricath to have meltdowns and that amuses Zezeth to no end) but she isn't exactly in any rush to force Madiquel to 'grow up'. If she were to be frank, Zezeth's own infrequent sexual urges are as much of a relief to her, as they are to the world of horrified friends of Madiquel's; there is just something not right about the thought of Madiquel being wild with flight lust...
Quirks
Staring. Zezeth stares. A lot. She is a watchful, quiet dragon that takes in the world around her with a curious and often slightly discomforting stare.
Flight Records
N/A -- Zezeth has yet to Fly.
