Rank: Junior Weyrling

Face Claim: McKenna Grace

Physical Description of Persona:
Sun streaked dirty blonde hair flies like an unruly mane around Oriene. With her blue eyes, tanned skin, and lithe 5’7 build, she is finally settling into her graceful adult body. Her voice is a high alto that matches the bright smile she’s often wearing. Her attire tends to be blues and greens. Layered leather bracelets with various beads and charms adorn her left wrist.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Energetic is a good word for Oriene. She tends to live her life out in the open, always doing -something- or with someone, but not at the frenetic pace that some teenagers exhibit. She’s the gregarious type of person that knows everyone’s name but really only considers being vulnerable with a select few. Definitely detail-oriented, definitely. She’s fairly even-keeled and responsible too. She has a harper’s memory for sounds, conversations, and auditory cues.

Even though Oriene emanates this aura that she has her life plotted, there’s a deep sense of doubt about her future. Does she want to be a dolphineer or is she doing it just because others expect her? She knows that she can fall prey to the expectations of others but she’s still too young to have the confidence in herself that others think she has. She will also freeze when she thinks her words or actions will rock the boat, and get her or someone else in trouble. And then beat herself up for not doing something.

History of Persona:
Oriene was born at a dolphin Hall in the North. Her parents moved their family down to Dolphin Cove territory when Oriene was four so she doesn’t remember much about being up north. Her childhood was spent seaside, either playing with the dolphins or watching her siblings. Her parents did their best to keep Oriene educated beyond just the basics most Hold children learn, knowing that her options in career might be limited outside of dolphincraft but not wanting her to be lacking intellectually.

It was expected that Oriene apprentice as a dolphineer, given how much time she spent with them and her parents’ careers, but Searchriders put that on hold when she was fifteen. Dolphins were great but the possibility of Impressing a dragon was impossible to pass up. So Oriene went to Dolphin Cove Weyr. But after Turns of not Impressing, while watching all of her friends Impress, she decided to take a break, returning to the Hall to work on her dolphineer knots.

It was a chance Impression from the Stands that moved Oriene to Dragonsfall when she was 18.

Dragon's Name: Esperanth
Dragon's Age: 0
Dragon's Hatching Date: m2 d1
Dragon's Hatching Place: Dragonsfall Weyr
Dragon's Colour: Green
Description of Dragon:
Esperanth is vivid shamrock green, the lushness of leaves in summer. She is lithe like her rider, but nothing about the way she holds herself indicates that she is easily movable. At maturity, she will be one of the larger greens of the Weyr.

If Oriene ever exhibits doubts, Esperanth does not. Hers is a quiet strength, an enduring resilience. She is untouched, absolute. This does not reflect a lack of emotions but rather a solid understanding of purpose and belief.
