GREENRIDER F'TEUN APPRENTICE WEAVER

Persona : F'teun
Writing Status : NPC/Free
Age : 45
Gender : Male
Rank/Craft : Apprentice Weaver, Greenrider, Wingrider (UFLT)
Residence : Ierne Island Weyr

Physical Description : F'teun is one of the older riders in the Weyr, with brown hair going mostly gray and skin sagging around his edges. His muscles, however, are as solid as ever, and he could put any number of the younger riders to shame if challenged to compare feats of strength. His light brown eyes sparkle with life, and his face is creased with smile lines. Once a apprentice to weavers, F'teun could never put aside his fascination with cloth dyes, and the evidence of his continuing hobby can often be seen around his cuticles, which are frequently dyed to match his latest batch of fabric.

Personality : Steady and level-headed, F'teun often serves as a mentor for young greenriders - especially those who are taken by surprise by the _green_ head that shoved itself into their knees on the Sands. He's the type to remember everyone's birthingdays and have a little something ready to give them as well, whether a close friend or an acquaintance.

F'teun is solidly weyrmated to Bluerider Fr'din, and is terribly protective of that bond and others like it. His close friends are convinced that only a mortal danger to Fr'din could induce F'teun to abandon the careful, mellow rhythm in which he lives - and none of them ever wish to see such a thing happen.

Life Story : Fateunor was born and raised in Benden Weyr, though his parents were healers rather than dragonriders. However, healing is a busy life, and he spent most of his childhood fostered with the other Weyr children as often as not. He apprenticed to the weavers, fascinated with the warp and weft of fabric and the multitude of possibilities it presented.

He was not surprised to be Searched - after all, he had seen plenty of craftsmen and women invited to stand on the Sands over the Turns and return to their trades few sevendays later. However, he could not have been more astonished when little Eleanth butted him from behind and shared her name with him. It took him a long time to reconcile what he saw as his lifestyle with the fact that there was a beautiful green dragon who clearly knew otherwise and depended on him for her very life and breath.

He wrestled with his sexuality for many Turns before coming to terms with it. Soon after, he met Fr'din and settled into a loving partnership with him. The pair jumped at the chance to move south to a new Weyr in Turn 35, and became some of the first residents at Ierne Island Weyr.

Dragon's Name : Eleanth
Dragon's Colour : Green
Dragon's Age : 26
Sire/Dam : Transfer
Rider's Age at Impression : 19

Physical Dragon : Eleanth is very pale green, like the foam that collects on the breakers in the deep northern harbors. F'teun has attempted many times to match her color in a fabric dye, but has never gotten it quite right. She is large for a green, and beautifully proportioned. She has one large Threadscore along her left flank, remnant of a particularly windy Fall many Turns ago.

Dragon's Personality: Eleanth is just as relaxed and mellow as her rider, preferring to curl up and doze on the heights near a group of bronzes, browns, and blues rather than flirt with them overtly. She is a rock of reassurance for F'teun, even if she is rather vain.
