| Personality: |
A very active and intelligent individual, Vekiruun is fiercely independent by nature, so much so that even when they are in dire need of assistance, they can't bring themselves to actually ask it. They live by the philosophy that anything they can't do themselves isn't worth doing, and that to be reliant on someone else is the purest sign of weakness. Because of this, they are actively repressing memories of their childhood, and will fiercely deny any accusation of having ever been dependent on anyone for anything. The plus side of all this, in a fashion, is that because they like to do everything for themselves, they have a fairly broad set of skillsand are at least mostly competent in all of them. And Vekiruun has no objection to helping others, either; obviously everyone else is a weaker person than they are, thus needing assistance on occasion.

| Biography: |
Vekiruun came to the Alveary when it was still known as the Ranch of DOOM, practically inviting themselves to reside there and put their broad skillset to use in the betterment of the place. Phoenix hardly minded, and while few appreciated the dragontaur's independent hubris, Vekiruun was nevertheless a useful person to have around.
It wasn't until after the Drift that Vekiruun met their match in a new immigrant to the Alveary: Kotonok R'taou, another dragontaur, though not one of Kessonan breeding. Vekiruun was not used to experiencing attraction to another, for biological as well as personality-related reasons, and nothing would have ever come of it had Kotonok himself not managed to catch on to the meaning behind Vekiruun's stilted and restrained mannerisms -- and from there decided he was interested in pursuing them.
It was all in the wording. Kotonok needed them, needed them more than he had ever needed anyone else in his life. He needed Vekiruun in his arms, needed to rest his head on their shoulder, needed to feel them curled up beside him to sleep comfortably at night. And somehow, it worked just right. Vekiruun rarely minded giving when others asked. Physical comforts were different in terms of things usually requested of them, but that hardly made them impossible or even unpleasant.
