Physical Description: Young and shrewd. Tall, at 6'2", he towers over many people. Despite his height, he is wonderingly thin, which always confounded his mother, who insisted he gorge himself to try to put some meat on his bones. His skin is brazen from long hours working in the fields, then from long hours studying out in the fields, and finally from the powerful summer sun. His brown hair is a tad bit bleached, and, being rather short, is always neat and in order. His eyes are a dark brown, and his pupils are almost indistinguishable. His eyebrows are regular size, and he has a sharp, almost hawk-like nose. His eyes dart everywhere when he enters a room, taking it all in. All of these attributes earned him the affectionate nickname "Wherry."

Personality: He's a regular harper. His ears are better than they should be, and information he's found by poking his rather large nose into things is guaranteed to spread quickly. He has an affinity for music of any kind, and a special place in his heart for dragons, dolphins and firelizards. Most animals will always be looked upon fondly except tunnel snakes and vtols. When angered, he's sarcastic, and can sometimes use the same means to be humorous. He's nice to everyone but is solitary, preferring music and wildlife to friends. He can often be found at the Dolphin Hall, peering out over the waters and watching the antics of the dolphins, while playing or composing.

Life Story: Born in a large farm hold, he was raised by a doting mother and a kind father, who taught him to love all animals except pests, which were viewed as better off dead. He was sent off to the Harper Hall by the hold's harper who saw something that could well be used. He was a special apprentice to the pipes master, and was found to be proficient at gitar also. He was viewed as a master's pet who had a fierce streak of mischief. He attained Senior Journeyman status and proceeded to make rounds through the Ista Island. He was finally assigned to stationary status at Sonnette's Dawn. After a Turn or so at Sonnette's Dawn, he has recently moved to the newly-opened Green Ridge Hold.

Pet Name: Bright
Pet Species: Firelizard
Pet Colour: Green
Pet Description: Named Bright as a wry joke about her ability to find a way to get hurt and proceed to act that out quickly. She always seems to be in trouble or in the infirmary. Constantly flying into walls, it seems she's determined to make Azerune a healer. A small green, but quite determined to always have her own way. Azerune can be seen trailing behind, caught by the hair, to the kitchens or the sea quite often.
