Name: Teslana (goes by 'Tesla')
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Location: Dalibor Weyr
Rank: Wingrider
Personality:
Tesla has always been a dreamer, and over time has become a bit of an eccentric, too. Wildly intelligent, she's one of those sorts whose social aptitude suffers because she can't seem to get her head out of the clouds. An inventor at heart, she's inherently curious, and is lacking enough in social graces that she'll question just about anything – regardless of whether or not doing so might be considered offensive or an invasion of privacy. Not to be rude or nosy – simply because she can hardly ever tell if she's treading on someone's toes.
Most times, however, she finds that others are willing to forgive her occasional naivety, mostly because she is a thoroughly pleasant person. She doesn't have the most broad sense of humor (she tends to take most things literally), but she nevertheless loves to laugh. And loves to see others laugh, at that. She's a cheerful person – but not bubbly or overly-enthusiastic. Usually quite calm and pensive, she's an optimist at heart, and enjoys being around others despite her rather awkward nature. She'd never intentionally hurt a fly.
Tesla possesses a photographic memory and an acute imagination. Quick to learn, she's perpetually thirsty for knowledge and discovery. When she isn't building strange and sometimes outlandish machines in her head, she's usually sketching or painting – and while her art isn't mind-blowing, it isn't half bad, either. And she's surprisingly rather good at politics – not leader material herself, of course, she nevertheless has a good grasp of the power play and intricacies inherent in that field. In this respect, she'd make a decent advisor – particularly because she's trustworthy and conscientious, and can hardly ever bring herself to tell a lie.
However, her sharp mind isn't entirely a blessing – slightly obsessive compulsive, she has certain habits she can't seem to get away from. She must always count her steps when she walks, for instance, and gets exasperated when any sort of distraction causes her to lose track. In addition, she must always mathematically calculate the cubic contents of whatever bowl/dish she is eating out of. If she fails to do this, she cannot enjoy her food, and because of this she tends to snack on things ('finger food' especially), rather than sit down to an actual meal.
Appearance:
Teslana currently stands at just over 5’6, but her still-gangly limbs promise at least another inch of growth during the next few turns. Slender and willowy, she’s not precisely athletic, but does enjoy an occasionally run – and while she’s not particularly quick on her feet, she has quite a bit of endurance, and can jog for miles without stopping when the urge occasionally hits her. And, though her movements are effortlessly graceful, she’s still something of a klutz – with her head in the clouds and her imagination running rampant, she doesn’t always pay much attention to her surroundings.
Her complexion is a light gold, and her face is dusted with freckles that are only noticeably up-close. Her dark, emerald green eyes are rather big, giving her a perpetually-curious look that compliments her… well, perpetual curiosity. There are very few sharp angles in her face – her features are smooth and a bit dainty. A high forehead, rounded nose, and full lips combine in a way that is rather pretty and has, on occasion, been described as beautiful.
Tesla’s hair is an almost-blond shade of brown, and never anything but pin-straight. She keeps it trimmed at about shoulder level, and ties it back whenever she’s working on her art or an occasional invention/contraption. Suffice to say, it’s rarely let down. It also has a tendency to frizz, much to its owner’s annoyance.
Family:
Vera: Benden Cook: Foster Mother
Irath: Green: Lifemate
Pets:
Pink Arc
Personality:
This firelizard is a little all over the place, to be brutally honest. She absolutely cannot focus on one thing for more than a few seconds before getting distracted by something else. This trait of hers is rather cute and amusing at first, but quickly becomes a pain when one second, she wants to be fed, then just as she’s beginning to be fed, changes her mind and decides she wants a bath instead. She’s quite a ditz and simply fails to remember what she’s doing. But, then again, if it had been that interesting or important in the first place, she would have bothered to remember! However, she’s always chipper and cheerful, but, then again, if anyone’s memory was that bad, they would be happy all of the time, too!
She’s also quite the flirt, and easily distracted as she is, she can’t keep her attention on one male for more than a day or two, maximum, before moving on. She’s not very fond of commitment to anything, (except to Hers, naturally, but she can’t even be trusted to be around when Hers needs her to) and that includes males. It would truly take a special firelizard to win her heart, but as that’s unlikely to happen, she’s quite content to flirt around. However, she does not have some irrepressible need for the males, but if there’s one around, she will certainly go make herself sociable.
Appearance:
She’s certainly a pretty enough Pink. She’s finely shaped, with a very long, slender body with equally long and thin wings. With her sinuous form and refined head, she could almost be called a beauty, but she doesn’t have the patience or attention span to simply sit and preen like many females. Her hide, while still obviously pink, has undertones of lavender to it, giving her a slight purple hue. However, her shoulders and hips fade to a much lighter, pinker shade of the hue, making them look bigger than they actually are.
Pink Coil
Personality:
This Pink is a rather subdued, businesslike firelizard, a personality that would seem more fitting on a Brown than a Pink. She’s serious about most everything, at least outwardly, because make no mistake, she still enjoys life. She’s just not as exuberant about it as many firelizards. Instead, she has fun in her own quiet, unobtrusive way, whether that’s just spending a moment playing with her clutchsister or Hers, or simply watching the antics of others. However, she’s not good in a crisis, or any stressful situation, actually. She will absolutely lose her head and just cling to whoever is closest to her at the moment. It’s rather funny since that’s the complete opposite of what most would expect from her.
She’s unwaveringly loyal, to Hers, her sister, and of course, the love of her life. She always remains steadfast in her affections, and she’ll do anything she can to try and make those close to her as happy as possible. She would never do anything to hurt anyone, and she honestly does try to be a protector of sorts, though when the situation’s dire enough that anyone actually needs protection, she’s useless. Likewise, the one male she’ll ever pay any bit of attention to (flirting wise) is the Four Seasons Blue. She’s almost a bit obsessed with him, actually, and to get close to him is the only reason she’ll leave Hers’s side.
Appearance:
Although she’s very close to her clutchsister, she doesn’t resemble her other than being the same color. Instead of a light, almost lavender, her hide is a very deep, rich pink that is unmistakably pink. She has broad shoulders and hips, with
History:
Teslana was raised by Vera, a cook at Benden Weyr – the identity of her parents remains unknown to her, although she suspects that one of them may have been a rider. The two (Vera and Tesla, that is) were always very close, and to this day they do their best to keep in touch, communicating via letters.
Over the years, Tesla studied a variety of crafts including weaving, woodworking, and cooking, though she could never be persuaded to stick with any of them for long, or even enter into an apprenticeship. Mostly, she did chores around the weyr, and in her free time dreamed, sketched, and invented. Her ’inventions’ - the ones she had the materials to build, in any case – were never more than toys, really. Little wooden catapults, twine-and-stick bridges, etc. To this day, the pride of her collection is a little hot air balloon, fashioned from a spare basket and some of the cloth she wove during her brief stint as a Weaver.
When Dalibor was founded, Vera persuaded Tesla to transfer to that Weyr, believing that the girl would have more opportunities in that environment. As a weyrbrat, Tesla was given the opportunity to Stand at a previous Hatching at Benden, but was not chosen by any dragon. Though she fancies the idea of becoming a dragonrider, she is nevertheless content with her life as it is now, and is not confident that she’ll ever Impress.
