KALLEDA

Name:	Kalleda
Bonded at:	Isla Weyr Memorial Frenzy
Partner:	Rusty Opal-Water Akiriath
Gender:	Female
Species:	Human
Age:	16
Appearance:	Kalleda is a native of Isla Weyr and has the bronzed skin to show for it. Her naturally dark hair is bleached a little towards the tips, and often gathered in a loose ponytail. Kalleda's a tough girl; muscular, very fit from cliff climbing and flitter-egg gathering and challenging her peers to races and other things. Her brilliant grin comes easily and looks pretty confident, though she's still got a lot she's figuring out. Kalleda's eyes are dark green, and she's got a spattering of freckles across her face and shoulders. She usually wears practical clothes, though she has a single fine dress she inherited from her mother that she will wear to Gathers and other fancy events. Overall, Kalleda seems like a capable girl who Holders might say is a little overactive or gregarious... but as a Weyrbrat, she fits in perfectly.
Personality:	Kalleda grew up at Isla, but since her mother died she has grown more and more interested in seeing the larger context of the world (or worlds, if Phillipe is to really be believed!) For most of her life, Kalleda's grown up around her two half-brothers and her passal of foster siblings, calling many of the lower caverns folk her uncles and aunts. She was never very close to her father, though it could be said that that's because he was more invested in his two boys than in her. Still, Kalleda hasn't taken that on in a personal sense. Her Aunties and Uncles placed her with two foster sisters and balanced her youth by training her in all sorts of Lower Cavern tasks: cooking, cleaning, mending... all the way through dragon-specific tasks like helping to grade firestone and even helping to scrub down the bigger dragons whose riders might need assistance. As with many at Isla, Kalleda picked up a little blue flit when she was ten, hurrying home with a shirt full of eggs close to hatching. Luckily, Biscuit (she was pressed for a name at the time!) was the only one who chose to bond to her, and the rest all either flew off into the wilds or found other homes with friends... but it was a moment that made Kalleda realize that there was more wonder to the natural world than she'd been giving credit. She pressed for training at the Genetics Hall... but as with any untrained child, actual science was going to be a long way away for her. Instead, she was given good tutelage in reading and writing, maths, and eventually biology in exchange for running tedious errands (and for bribing the dragons of those riders who came by the sciences as a profession!) Kalleda never doubted she'd stand as a Candidate some day, but the last six years have whizzed by more quickly than she realized. She's led a very full life thus far and is excited to see what strangeness is out there... and if she bonds a dragon who's willing to encourage her (which she hopes for dearly) they can set off on many adventures together.

BISCUIT

Name:	Biscuit
Origin:	Isla Weyr Beaches
Gender:	Male
Species:	Firelizard/Flit
Colour:	Blue
Size:	Tiny (a little smaller than cat sized)
Personality:	Biscuit is a doting bond, treating Kalleda as his charge in the way that a butler might treat his well-to-do but trouble-making young girl. As a firelizard, Biscuit is not fully sentient, but he can pick up on Kalleda's moods and is responsive to them. When she's bored, he has a way of urging her to go for a run or to trick friends into visiting, and she takes such good care of him that perhaps the doting is a natural reaction. Biscuit is not at all possessive; in fact, he sees Kalleda's friends as part of the flock and expects her to make new ones, which means that he will often set up encounters between her and 'peerage' that he's not fully met yet. Once he does get a read from Kalleda on the 'quality' of that peerage, however, Biscuit can be a staunch defender.

AKIRIATH
Hatchling \| Adult Image © Yakima

Name:	Akiriath
Origin:	IGPC Weyrhall Memorial Frenzy #34D
Gender:	Female
Species:	Pernese
Colour:	Rusted Water-Opal
Size:	Small, 5', 32'4" long (stunted from being an in-shell triplet)
Abilities:	Telepathy. This dragon can speak mind-to-mind.
	Assisted Firebreath. This dragon can breath fire after chewing firestone or certain grades of coal.
	Teleportation. This dragon can teleport between two locations instantly so long as it has a clear mental image of its destination.
	Telekinesis. This dragon can move objects with their mind.
Personality:	Akiriath is a stalwart dragon with reserves that far outweigh her diminuitive stature. She's not incredibly long-minded, but she is quite astute in the moment. When Kalleda began befriending a few other candidates, Akiriath was the one who nudged her towards returning to Nidus Descendi together. Now, the pair are showing a surprising ability to blend in with the wider community than Kalleda thought she'd be able to do. She's looking to join a Wing that allows Akiriath to showcase her quick thinking, but in the meantime she's become a valuable asset in the lower caverns among the humans of the Nidus.

GENETICS
X^GwDF\|Xg^wDF R\|R B\|B c^bG\|c^bE t^xS\|t^S EE\|ee i\|i K\|k P\|p o^SS\|o4^SS A^2R\|a U\|U H\|h m⁺\|m
X^GwDF\|X^gwDF	This ungodly combo helps determine if the dragon is Gold, Bronze, Brown, Blue or Green. X^G\|X^g = "X" paired is "female". "G" paired with "g" can be either Green or Gold, and the "R" allele determines which manifests. Only in combination of G\|g and R\|r are Golds possible. W\|w = Is the dragon a sport-size? Not with this combo. Requires w\|w and d\|d together to be sport sized for females and wd for males. D\|D = Is the dragon a sport-size? Not with this combo. F\|F = Is the dragon fertile? Yes, even if she chews firestone.
R\|R	Low Rank (Greens and Blues)
B\|B	(Males only) Brown
c^R\|cx^tS	Colour blending gene. Two "cb" genes cause the base colour to shift from one base colour to another across the dragon. The 'G' allows shift to Emerald, Sapphire, Diamond, Ruby, Amethyst, Topaz, Aquamarine, Opoal, Peridot, Garnet, Pearl, Turquoise, Amber, Jade, or Mystic Fire Topaz. The 'E' allows shifts to Earth, Snow, Forest, Water, Sky, Stone, Sand, Air, Ice, Fire, Marble, Sandstone, Storm or Granite.
t^xS\|t^S	"T" determines if the wing sails are a different colour. "tx" indicates a colour change on the wings. The S allows the colour on the wings to shift to Indigo, Teal, Rust, Gray, Sky Blue, Yellow, Orange, Red, Pink or Purple.
EE\|ee	Saturation gene that currently allows average saturation. If double "EE" or "ee" appear, these can cause the dragon to be hyper-saturated, or more greyish.
i\|i	An intensity gene that indicates that the hide can shift colours from front to back, like Ryslen Nights and Lights.
K\|k	Creates a shift towards darker or night if the "i" gene allows for a colour shift. Generally, K and K+ cause darker shifts.
P\|p	Creates a shift towards paler or light if the "i" gene allows for a colour shift. Generally, P and P+ cause lighter shifts.
o^SS\|o4^SS	o\|o4 = "o" allows other speckle pattern genes to show. "o4" allows heavy amounts of speckles to show. SS\|SS = These determine augmentation to the kind of speckles that are present. More "S" determine chonkier speckles, while more "s" determine smaller speckles. The second "S" calls out that speckles would be Indigo, Teal, Rust, Gray, Sky Blue, Yellow, Orange, Red, Pink or Purple if they were expressed.
A^2R\|a	Agouti gene! If two agouti genes appear they are codominant. "A" stands for non-agouti, or non-patterned. Though it carries the ability to show rare marking colours (Silver, Copper, Cream, Black or White) these are dormant. "a" allows another pattern through, but does not itself create a pattern.
U\|U	Clouded gene. "U" stands for "not clouded"
H\|h	Shimmer gene. Both "H" and "h" stands for "not shimmery".
m+\|m	Represents the possibility of having twins. The "m" gene doesn't give twins itself, but allows other recessive genes to express. The "m+" gene allows between one to four dragonets to hatch from a single egg, randomly generated. Any twins (or more) would be significantly smaller than their non-twin clutchmates.
