Dam: Hassaleah's Sentinel of the Sands Gold Mhiyath
Sire: Dune's Brown Jerubbesheth
Egg Name: Deed Without a Name Egg
Egg Desc: This medium-sized egg is almost perfectly spherical except that what's currently the top seems flat, even concave. In colour, it's very dark, with black predominating in a wide swathe around its middle - a black that seems to be encrusted with nameless substances, varying little in tone, but detectable to the touch. At the base, streaks of rust-brown rise, while tongues of yellow and flame red play around the sides of the egg's lower part. The very top is paler, a circle of brown studded with specks of other dull colours that form strange, disjointed shapes, almost suggestive of the features of this creature or that - here a leg, there an eye, and here again a wing.
Mind Desc: All the world is a stage, and Messinath wishes to be the lead player. With you playing opposite her, of course, as your personality compliments and supports her own. She's an inquisitive and mostly independent individual, enjoying doing her own thing and having enough stubborness to get her way when she truly wants to. Witty and adventurous is she, leading others a merry chase in conversation as the inclination strikes her. She is inquisitive as well, asking questions as they occur to her and using that information to better plot her adventures. To balance her outgoing nature, she possesses a fair amount a reason and intelligence, giving her a sense of duty and justice, and pride in herself and you. Though she will question, she will also do what she is told, if it doesn't go against her, or your, beliefs.
Messinath possesses a warm and confident voice, full of strength and integrity. She speaks with a scent of fresh-crushed sage, and her words ripple to the sound of soft waves crashing against a shore.
Hatching Message: Deed Without a Name Egg wiggles, shimmies, and dances its way out of its hollow, tumbling to its side on the scorching sands with a hearty thunk. Spiderweb cracks flash out from the impact point, and then the shell disintegrates. Egg goo and shell fragments burst away from a small blue-green hatchling, who raises her broad head to regard the crowd of candidates. A Spy in the Shadows Green Hatchling, she is, and she will stalk out her prey.
Hatchling Name: Spy in the Shadows Green
Hatchling Desc: This dragon might be mistaken for a dusky blue at first; she's a bit large for a green, and her coloring has some aquatic tones to it. Her head, wide and well-fleshed, is coated in a warm sea green that blends into the ridges of viridian that parade down her neck to her back, dripping down her somewhat plump sides to pool on her belly. Sage and cerulean mix as they rise from forelimbs to chest, reaching shoulders and darkening to shades of moss as they shift over her thin yet agile wings. Strands of seaweed and algae mottle her haunches, narrow and without much plumpness, met by swirls of cypress along the length of her relatively short tail.
Impression Message: Emotions foam and crest about your mind, feelings of pleasure, wonder, and love embracing you. Bubbling laughter giggles at you from the surf, strong and sure for being so new-come to the world. << Nemaea, much as your Messinath is enjoying this game, I have this need... >> And the words evoke a clenching in your belly, a hunger quite intent. << Once its taken care of, I would love to get to exploring this life with you. >>
Her desire to learn and grow is without brakes, and she may, many a times, get into sticky situations as her investigative nature takes her, and you, where neither belong. It likely won't be uncommon for her to suggest sneaking out at night, or even in the middle of the day, to take a look at this or that which has drawn her curiosity. Once flight is permitted, she will be constantly wanting to go farther, fly higher, and see what is where, and how she might have fun in the areas she can reach.
Repetition is something Messinath abhors, and when she must do something over and over again to perfection, she tends to lose her patience and suggest doing something else. That is, if she doesn't just walk off immediately. She prefers new and unique experiences to doing the same repeatedly, and it will make the work of Weyrlinghood at times difficult. If she must, Messinath will buckle down and endure, but she will let you, and anyone else in earshot, know just how much she'd prefer to be elsewhere.
Independence is a big thing for your lady. Being asked to do something is just fine by her, but taking orders is something she'll likely never be good at. Messinath's too much of a free spirit. Duties that have her staying in one place for long periods of time or doing little are liable to draw her boredom, and she sees little need to do nothing when so much adventure is to be had. A firm hand will be needed to help her develop a sense of responsibility, or you may find yourself with a carefree dragon on your hands. And in your mind.
As Messinath matures, she will gradually come into her own where her peers are concerned. Not the most agile or comely of dragons, she doesn't mind her occasional awkwardness of the fact that she isn't sleek and svelte. She's quite happy with her looks, and will, in time, know how to use her somewhat awkward build to her advantage. After all, being able to drop like a stone through a herd of suitors is useful, at times. She isn't particularly flirty, preferring to use her wit and humor to bandy jokes and tease than to attract males, but she is sensual when she feels the inclination to be such.
Flights are great adventures for Messinath, and she finds amusement in the actions of her chasers as she leads the way through the skies. She's more agile in flight than on the ground, but either way, she's a somewhat clumsy mover. It won't hold her back; Messinath will take to the skies like a rocket, and wend a merry chase, with words and flight alike part of the adventure.
As Messinath grows with you, and matures, you'll find she is a stalwart friend, a true ally, and will never hesitate to defend you if the need arises. She'll support your decisions if she feels they are right, and argue those she disagrees with, but never will she fail to share her mind and heart with you. If you should choose a Weyrmate, she will show them respect, so long as they show her the same, and strive to maintain a happy home with you. After all, her adventures are for fun, not out of necessity, and she'd hate to be at odds with you, the dearest being in her life.
