Banalii
Age:21 Turns
Sex: Female
Gender Identity: F
Current Rank: Wing Rider
Candidate: No
Preferences: Not a Candidate
Firelizard Wanted: Y, Green
Appearance: Her brown hair falls in a slight curl around her, long, falling to about mid-back length. The three braids that start near her face move back over the brown locks that are left loose and join together into one braid that is then fastened to fall directly down the center of her back and neck. It would likely be much curlier if its weight were less. It is thick, but not overly thick. There are some shorter hairs that curl into tight ringlets at the back of her neck and around her ears. Her hair complements well the worm caramel toned tan of her skin that holds only the slightest sprinkle of freckles.
Her face is heart shaped, her chin sharp. She has large lips that are a healthy pink color. Her nose is somewhat longer than most. Her eyes are a large and round and appear very trusting. They are brown and full of depth. She is slender and short, standing about only about 5’2”. Her figure is rather full and she seems to take pride in this fact in the way she moves at times. Her smile comes in many different forms for many different occasions. Slow and cunning, fast and full of amusement, seductive and deadly.
Her hands are used to the work of a Healer. Her fingers are quick and nimble. Her hands are rather soft yet. She thinks little of this fact, but it is a fact nonetheless. She is most typically found wearing practical clothing, though it should be no surprise to anyone that she enjoys wearing dresses and the feeling of beauty she gets from such.
Her face shows emotion very easily. They play across it much like a symphony.
Personality:
“Back off, I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong, we're headstrong” – Headstrong by Trapt
Banalii is headstrong, brash and forward. She is blunt, honest, caring, protective, and unapologetic if the truth were to hurt.
If it were ever for the good of another person, Banalii would take on the world in a heartbeat. She is hard to dissuade and rank means almost nothing to her when she has lost her temper. She is constantly seeking justice, truth and honesty from the world, even when it seems most unlikely that it will be achieved.
She is caring. Banalii has a love for everyone, despite what may be apparent with her blunt, honest nature. She is also quite protective and rather idealistic, believing that the truth should always come first. But for all that talk about truth, she is a bit hypocritical herself.
She is brash. For a sweet looking girl, she doesn’t hesitate to jump into something without so much as a thought, especially when her instincts to protect others kick in. Her desire is to heal those in trouble when it may be necessarily before it is to think of her own safety.
She never shies away from saying what is on her mind and won’t apologize if her blunt honesty should upset or hurt someone. She, again, is a bit of a hypocrite in this as she can get upset over the same thing and may claim that it is not something that should upset a person.
Energetic. Banalii is energetic, playful, and generally playful, having few inhibitions with talking to people. Making friends is easy for her. Keeping them is far more difficult for her because of her blunt nature and the ease with which she may find herself coming across as rude.
She sees little problems with flirting and may actually find it quite fun. Unless in a serious situation or, for some other reason, unwise. Even if at times she may not come across as particularly cunning, she can be when she takes the time to slow down and think about or plan what she is going to do, which only happens every so often when she may come up with some devious plan to surprise someone. But that really isn’t much of an activity sharpening such tools at times. However, she is highly competitive and will often plot her way to winning, which is a far more blatant use of her talents in cunning.
She is very intelligent, which is evidenced in her studies as well as in the way she most often speaks, especially when arguing or debating. Her wit is quick and her tongue is sharp.
Family: ((Basically, to let us know if there will be NPCs involved with this character. You only need to write down the family members they're close to (entire family tree is not required).))
History:
“We were the ones who weren't afraid
We were the broken hearted
We were the scars that wouldn't fade away
How did we let go
how did we forget that we don't have to hide
We won't believe the lies again
We won't be paralyzed” – Who We Are by Red
Banalii was born nineteen turns in the past. She was born to a young woman of Gondurr Hold who died in child birth. Her father never claimed her no was he ever known. She was a no one. She had nothing… But she was lucky enough to be taken in by a Healer. And that is where her story really began.
Banalii’s supposed parents long kept her lineage and past a secret from her, hiding away the facts. But what reason did they have to be forthcoming about it? They loved her. She was their daughter. It was not a fact that mattered to them, but in time, all things become clear.
When she was still quite young, one of her older siblings, in jealousy told her, “Why don’t you go find your mom and dad and stop stealing mine!” Of course, her reaction was the inability to understand what had just been said. The fight turned into something rather violent, scratching both girls up.
It was a while after this that Banalii started to wonder. The more incidents that occurred with her siblings, the more she wondered and finally questioned. At first, she didn’t know what to do with the information. It was useless and would prove useless forevermore. But, the incidence and the happenings around it may have been an influence in who she became. And… the idea of her unknown father and her dead mother haunted her for many Turns.
When she was old enough and capable enough, she entered the Healer Hall to be trained. And trained she was. At first, she struggled and did poorly in classes, but she was stubborn. She wanted to be good at this. She wanted to help people. She wanted to take away their hurts.
After a time, she became very good at her lessons. She worked hard. Her headstrong nature did, indeed, lend itself well to the pursuit of a goal.
When she was 18-Turns-old, her hard work was rewarded as she walked the tables to become a Journeywoman Healer. She was not searched as young as some. But even if she had back then, she would likely have refused. However, not long ago, in fact only a few sevendays, a SearchRider happened to come to a Hold near Sunset Weyr where she was at the time and… she was searched to the Weyr
Banalii stood in her first Hatching on the sands and Impressed to her Green dragoness.
"A voice in her head,No! Banamine!, however, stopped her in her tracks and she blinked as the Marble dragon moved through the Candidates to get to her…. And stopped right in front of her. Banalii breathed in a deep breath… Then let it out slowly, in almost disbelief. There, in front of her, was the most beautiful creature she had ever seen.
Perseth was trying to get to you. You should have stayed up in front! It would've been much easier.[/i] Banalii grinned.
“Perseth…” she breathed aloud then, pulled the wedge shaped head into her arms, tears springing to her eyes from happiness. She almost shouted from the joy she felt, but her throat choked up the moment the words sprung to her lips and she let out a happy laugh that almost came across as a sob."
Perseth
Age: 3 Turns
Species: Dragon
Color: Green
Final Size: 29 Feet Long
Appearance:
Perseth is an excellent blend of some of the more stocky traits found in the larger colors as well as the lithe quickness of the smaller colors, including her own green. Her body is packed with wiry muscles where as her limbs appear thin, though not all together dainty. Her legs are packed with tight corded muscles, which ais enough to cause quick jumps and bursts of speed that would seem awkward for any larger dragon. Her wings are a bit thin and dainty, though long, the bone structure looking almost fragile, however, the muscle there is just as much and just as well developed as everywhere else in her body.
Her coloration is a light forest green that is then crisscrossed with lines of a dark blue-ish green and a pastel green, creating an intricate and beautiful pattern across her hide. There are a few points on her back in which there are blotches or spots of the darker color, such as the back of her skull, between her wings, and where the tail connects to the body.
[li]General -
Perseth is a green who aims to take the world by storm. She lacks any inhibitions when she is “in the zone”, but otherwise doesn’t like to tread on anyone’s toes. She is sheepish when she is confronted with situations, making her, perhaps, seem slightly cute to those doing the confronting, though that is not the reason. She is a kind hearted dragon who likes to do good and wishes to make her rider a bit more cautious. She is playful and capable of listening and taking in information that she will use so long as she remembers it. She enjoys questioning things for the sake of questioning them. She believes in holding back t observe before diving right in. She is passionate and loves to love. She is flirtatious when needed, and highly aware of hot to sweet-talk. She wants to calm her rider down a bit to attempt to sharpen the calculating and cunning traits, which she herself does not lack.

((How do they approach the prospect of Mating? Are they romantic, clingy, desperate, seductive? How do they feel about baby-making?))

((How do they perform during Threadfall? What is their motivation? Even if they aren't part of a fighting wing, we'd still like a few lines about their efforts. ie flying resupply, EMT work, volunteer drill leader, etc.))

((How do they feel about their mindmate? Do they mind sharing their other half?))
