Hair Colour:
Light brown
Build:
Slim, petite
General Description:
Cazelarias is a delicate flower of a man; he’s built of a small, lithe body with willowy lines and soft edges. His jawline is his strongest feature, and that leaves a lot to be desired. His lips are on the thin side, his nose slim and almost pointed, and his smallish ears are often hidden behind hair that is just long enough to be tied at the nape of his neck, but rarely is.

At a diminutive 5’10, Cazelarias is of a perfect height for his sister, and linked together with his overall softness, he is often mistaken for the girl. Delicate hands, with fine fingers and clean nails, Cazelarias is fiercely insistent to wearing gloves when he is forced to work leather; meanwhile, his complete lack of facial hair substance adds to the lack of testosterone fuelled masculinity that is generally expected of a Lord’s son.

A little past shoulder length, thick and silky, Cazelarias' hair is a pale brown that easily and regularly sun-bleaches to a more blonde tone. He has very little in the way of facial hair, and mostly shaves whatever after a couple of days; he has a great dislike for being hairy, and it impedes his sister's masquerading as him.
General Dressing Style:
Cazelarias only partially plays up the part of being a dandy; the rest of it is completely him. He loves delicate and beautiful clothing, cleanliness, and looking fancy. That said, he still values comfort a great deal, so while all his clothing is tailored to suit his latest desires, it is always very important to him that he can wear those clothing all day and not feel at odds with it.

Loving colours, Cazelarias’ outfits are bright, eye catching, and elegant. He never looks like a rainbow puked on him, but he never dresses in dull colours, or bland designs unless absolutely required – events such as funerals and weddings have him toning down his attire, so as not to call undue attention upon himself (and, in his father’s scowling words, bring gossip raining down upon the family).
Alex Watson
Personality
Likes:
Beauty: Cazelarias has an eye for, and appreciation of, beautiful things. He loves beautiful clothing, beautiful art, beautiful people. Mostly, Cazelarias enjoys being surrounded by beauty.

Cazan: For all that she has the power - and an unnatural ability - to make his life miserable, Cazelarias adores his sister, and is lonely and anxious without her, though he dose his best not to ever let her know that, or anyone else know it, either.

Knowledge: Cazelarias loves to read, to learn, to explore -- but he likes to do those things without leaving the comfort of his home and his comfortable bed. Cazelarias has a deep love for reading, and will pour over anything he can get his hands on, from the educative texts their Harpers bring into classes, to sneaking into Father's office and reading everything from missives to accounting files. Mostly, Cazelarias spends his time in the family library, which is filled with old, and new, texts that his father has collected over the years.
Strengths:
Acting: Cazelarias is an excellent actor. He has had years of practice when it comes to pretending he knows someone, said something, did something, went somewhere, etc. As often as not, Cazelarias has absolutely no idea what is going on, or what caused him to end up in Cazan's latest mess, but he has honed the ability to fall into step to a fine art. He is fantastic at leading questions to get the answers he wants, and bluffing his way through conversations on the fly.
Dislikes:
Hard Work: It isn't that Cazelarias is too good for it, but rather that it makes him feel dirty and icky. He hates being uncomfortable, and hard work tends to make one sweaty and smelly and icky and Cazelarias just doesn't have the stomach for all that. He has a habit of putting on airs of superiority when dirt, hard work is expected of him, as it has served him well through the years and generally gets him out of it, and someone less particular to do it. Second son privliges and all.

Leatherworking: Cazelarias is actually good at his craft, when he takes the time to do it. Unlike Cazan, who honed her skill through hard work, Cazelarias is naturally talented with leatherworking. But its dirty, difficult, and he has hurt his hands on more than one occasion - and Cazelarias hates cuts and blood! But it was what Father wanted, and so Cazelarias did it. At least until Cazan took to it and he was able to hide away for most of the day, buried in the depths of their personal library.

Playboy Reputation: Cazelarias has a reputation, one created by his sister as she poses as him, that has had Cazelarias out on more dates than there are hours in the day, and Cazelarias hates it. Not that he has ever let anyone know that; the playboy reputation keeps those that are looking to settle down away from him, and it seems to give his parents a weird sort of pleasure that he is 'sewing his oats' or some such nonsense. Cazelarias has never sewn any 'oats'. The fact that he has never slept with any of the women he's taken out on random dates has done nothing to stop them from out-competing one another with wild tales of their exotic sexual encounters with him. Cazelarias has been waiting for years to see who will break the dam first and admit to the deceit. As yet, he's still left in awe of his apparent skills and desirability between the sheets.
Flaws:
Confused: Cazelarias has no idea who he is, because he has always been who he needs to be in any given circumstance. He's been acting for so long, he has no idea what it is like to just be himself. Every situation has him carefully analysing what it is that will be expected of him, how CC would act, what CC has already done and why, how, and what it means for him. Cazelarias has been living in CC's shadow for so long, he has never anticipated a life where he could be himself.

Anxious: Cazelarias is an incredibly anxious individual. He's prone to panic attacks, and is incredibly uncomfortable with change or confrontation.
Habits & Mannerisms:
Cazelarias has a furrow between his brows that gets plenty of exercise, as he has a tendency to frown when thinking. He almost always has a pair of soft lambskin gloves on him, as Cazelarias hates getting his hands dirty or damaged. He has a habit of tugging on a small lock of hair by his cheek when anxious.
General Personality:
Soft and gentle, in words and action, Cazelarias is greatly at odds with the reputation that has been built about him. Portrayed in gossip as a whorish playboy who makes ladies shriek his name and sigh in remembrance, Cazelarias has never slept with anyone, and certainly not a woman. Indeed, for all the things the gossips have to say bout him, Cazelarias is in fact very little of it. He is naturally polite, withdrawn and demure. He is incredibly modest and easy to fluster and quick to blush. He has a wide-eyed innocence about him that is usually written off as a ploy but is in fact very genuine.

Cazelarias is reserved, and it takes a lot to get him to open up, or even get a smile out of him. He has a serious nature, and often a serious expression. He takes everything in stride, and rolls with it and rarely lets anyone – even Cazan – know his true feelings on something – especially if those feelings are of a negative nature. He suffers great anxiety, especially when he is put into situations he didn’t expect or is unsure how to act in. He is no stranger to panic attacks, but one would be shocked to learn such a thing about him.

Slow to trust and quick to withdraw, Cazelarias has never had a close friend, and always felt he neither needed one nor wanted one. He speaks honestly with his sister when he feels the need, but otherwise has a tendency to bottle up his thoughts and emotions. If he can find the time, Cazelarias will sneak out in the middle of the night, climbing up a favourite tree (the only time he risks his precious hands) and whisper all his thoughts, fears and hopes up to the stars in the hopes that they will answer him.

Important History:
722, age 5: Cazelarias finds it amusing that his sister and he are able to confuse both friends and family, by his sister dressing up as him. They get into a lot of mischief, and while it gets Cazelarias into some trouble, he actually doesn’t mind, because he also learns how to manipulate the situations (and his sister) into being ‘him’ when punishment is being dealt.

723, age 6: Finds Cazan’s broken leg incredibly boring. She can’t pretend to be him – and he’s certainly not about to break his leg to cure that boredom. Instead, Cazelarias finds he has to do all his own chores, take all his own punishments, and gets no fun time by watching Cazan pretend to be him. Its incredibly dull and he dislikes it intentely.

726, age 9: Cazan finally makes it to the top of the tree that has been her personal nemesis for the past several years. Cazelarias has no desire to follow his sister to the top branches, and instead waits at the bottom of the tree so he can run for help if she falls out and breaks her neck. His anxiety doesn't settle until she has made it safely back to the ground, where he's quite firm about her not climbing it any more. She beat it, she doesn't need to climb it again. Right?

729, age 12: Cazelarias is enrolled into the leatherworking craft. Which he quickly learns he has no true talent for, or desire to work. But he's stuck there, as his family are all delighted by the prospect of a leatherworker among them. Cazelarias hates the way it smells, hates the way it feels, and hates how often he cuts his hands trying to do the work set out by the master. He is able to get by, floating somewhere in the middle of the class as far as work quality goes.

731, age 14: Cazan first begins to dress as her brother, and go to his leatherworking lessons for him. Cazelarias is incredibly anxious about their being caught out to start with, but Cazan is a fast learner, and does have a talent for leatherworking. She shines in the class, and Cazelarias finds he has the time to hide away in the family library and read books, a favourite past time of his. He has to be careful not to be seen by anyone, but the library is rarely visited and easy to hide within.

732, age 15: Cazan begins setting Cazelarias up for dates with the girls that flirt with her while she's dressed as him. He begins to form the persona of "Cazan's Cazelarias" or "CC", and vastly improves at his improve skills, picking up cues from the people he's with as to who they are, and what they know and expect of him. He has no desire to do more than take these girls on dates, and while very few of them get so much as a kiss out of him, rumours begin to fly about his increasingly incredible talents in bed. Cazelarias is mortified by such things, but plays along as required.

737, age 20: Cazan makes journeyman for Cazelarias, who feels awkward taking the credit for something he has had nothing to do with for years. He's still shocked that no one has figured out their antics, or busted him for being in the library studying politics and maps when he should be in a lesson his sister is at. He doesn't look the gift horse in the mouth, though, and does his best to play along and glide through the whole ordeal. He honestly can't remember the last time he went to a lesson personally.

740, age 23: A particularly petty disagreement with his sister involves Cazelarias stalking off to the library to sulk in a favourite corner, while Cazan - unbeknownst to him - takes off to Faranth knows where. Its three days after Cazan is gone before they hear a rumour of where she has headed - to the Weyr, of all places - and Cazelarias is charged with finding her, and bringing her home. He's thankful for the excuse to not have to pick up his craft personally, since he has no idea what a journeyman does in leatherworking and knows he sure as shit wouldn't be able to do any of the work. Instead, he finds his favourite horse and begins the arduous task of hunting down Cazan.

741, age 24: There is nothing enjoyable about hunting down his missing sister. The travel is boring and the nights are scarily lonely. Cazelarias doesn't handle it well, and his anxiety often gets the better of him; there are monsters in the dark that could get him! Every time he thinks he might have caught up with Cazan, he hears a new rumour about the leatherworker - he quickly realised she was traveling as him, and that made it easier when he said he was looking for his twin - and would have to change directions. Holds, Halls, an empty Igen Weyr and he set off for Telgar, which was the next closest. It took forever and a day to get there, but eventually Cazelarias made it. Only to discover his sister was not there. Exhausted, he opted to stay for a few days and figure out where to go next.

741, age 24: Cazelarias is trying to get comfortable at Telgar Weyr when he hears of the Hatching happening in Fort, and a nice greenrider offers to take him there so he can watch. Cazelarias is charmed by the idea, and agrees shyly to the offer. The dragonride is exhilarating, and between is terrifying. He's not overly thrilled at the prospect of doing it again to get back to Telgar, but ops to worry about it later. Instead, when he is on the ground and making his way through the crowds, Cazelarias finds he's confronted by a couple of people that "know him", and realises with a start that he's made it to the Weyr his sister is at. How under Faranth's golden wings she got there, he has no idea, but at least he's finally caught up with her! Finding her proves that much easier - and more difficult - when he spots her, dressed as him, Impressing a gold dragon. Because of course she did.

Cazelarias is adopted by N'reh, who helps keep his anxiety in check and educate him on the strange ways of the Weyrs. Cazelarias still tries to spend as much time as possible in the library, reading new books he didn't know existed, while his sister does Weyrling things, and then her dragon flies and she's pregnant and getting married and has a mate and Cazelarias simply can't deal with all the stress her life brings crashing down on him. He spends a lot more time sulking and hiding.

Additional Information:
Cazelarias is a crafter because Father made him take it up; not because he enjoys it or has any flowery ideas of becoming a great Master Crafter or whatnot. He doesn’t enjoy manual labour, even relatively lazy manual labour like leather working. While Cazelarias enjoys the scent of a finished product, he can’t stand the cuts and bruises he's prone to ending up with, and he hates dyes and inks and getting his hands dirty.

Cazelarias doesn’t remember how it came about that Cazan ended up taking his place in his classes, but it did start with her helping him with his assignments, and then doing them for him, and the next thing he knew, she was dressing up as him and going to class. Not that he minds; sometimes it causes some interesting quirks in both their days, but mostly it works for him. He has a faux education, and she has a faux set of knots. Perfect, right?

Dragon Information
Name:
Harakath
Colour:
Green
Pronounced:
HARE uh KATH
Wing and Rank:
Wingrider of
Harakath
Adult Stats
28 foot length, 16 foot tall, with a 44 foot wingspan.
Clutch Details:
Gold Malvayth x Bronze Xyxyth at Telgar Weyr on the 03.08.743 AL [Clutch Page]
Weyrlinghood
A bright lime green baby covered in darker green spots along her tail and sides, Harakath has awkwardly long legs and a tail to match. She's gangly and clumsy at first, frequently tripping on her own feet, and she'll remain awkward until she finally gets big enough to fly and her proportions begin to work properly together to help her move, and move quickly at that.
Harakath
Adulthood
Harakath grows into a delicate build that is lean and light for her size. She remains leggy which gives her added height and her long wings are designed for speed. She still sports a bright hide, though it's become more reminscient of bright green apples with emerald spots scattered along her sides, back, and the leading edges of her wings. Built for speed, she's surprisingly fast on the ground and exceptionally quick in the air.
Mindvoice
Clearly femenine, warm and bright without being shrill. When she becomes agitated her voice becomes a little deeper and tends to have a bit of a hiss.
Personality
"Harakath is friendly and warm, outgoing to strangers and frequently curious about them. She generally prefers and encourages Z'lar to do the talking at first, though once she's gotten to know someone better she will happily chat with them herself too. She's gentle with her nudges, and is usualy very unworried and not afraid of failure. After all, failure is just an opportunity to learn and if they want something bad enough they can just try again and figure out how to get what they want.

Despite her status as ""just a green"" Harakath is rather secure in her self image and is not prone to showing off for her own sake and finds such displays unseemly. As much as she enjoys socializing she also appreciates quiet and relaxed time just lounging about with either a friend or even just her rider for company."
Quirks
Harakath is sometimes struck by the intense need to move or fly as quick as she can, sprinting about in the sky or on the ground in a fit of zoomies. She frequently stretches her wings out when bored or idle. When lying down or sitting, Harakath tends to cover her front feet, either with her tail or by curling them under her when she's lying down.

Likes
The Sky - She loves everything about the sky, whether it's broody cloudy days, basking in the sun, gazing at the stars, watching a lightning storm, and especially flying in it.
Books - Harakath likes books, or rather she likes it when Z'lar is reading them, and if possible she enjoys curling around him during those quiet moments.

Dislikes
Crowds - They're too busy and noisy and full of too many people to try to focus on. She greatly prefers a smaller amount so she can focus on the individuals more.
Small spaces - Harakath needs to be able to fully stretch her wings out or she feels uncomfortable and cramped.
Darkness - She'd much rather be able to clearly see and dislikes night flying.

Strengths
Good flyer - Like her mother she's a naturally talented flyer, agile and swift, and able to take advantage of updrafts to get a little bit of rest for the illusion of more stamina.
Restrained - Even when she's annoyed or angry, Harakath isn't prone to temper tantrums or dispair and can hold her tongue until a more appropriate time to vent.
Encouraging - She isn't one to falter just because things go wrong, and she's very supportive of her friends.

Weaknesses
Snooty - She thinks many common tasks are beneath her and her rider.
Gullible - She has too easy of a time believing things that people tell her (or that her rider reads) and it hardly ever occurs to her that anyone could possibly be lying.
