Name: Ziolioth
Personality Ziolioth is a hot mess. Rambunctious, wilding, and a rebel without a cause, it is highly unlikely that anything short of a gold's command would ever truly set this blue in line. And oh, is he happy to be a blue. Sure, all dragons are fighting dragons and worth their hide to have, but being a small chromatic (especially at High Reaches) means as far as Ziolioth is concerned nobody expects more than the bare minimum from him! Yes, he is free to be himself without much more judgement than a barked order to get back into formation. Sure, he can get in
trouble, but as far ahead as this blue has looked the worst thing that could possibly happen to him is that he won't be handed responsibility he doesn't want.
Unfortunately, there are a lot more things that could possibly go wrong and Ziolioth lacks the
foresight to see big troubles on the horizon. He simply cannot picture disasters he doesn't see with his own eyes and even when given proper warning of them he will simply dismiss or forget about them time and time again. Given multiple chances to get his act together, he'll bungle them every time and then hold his hand out for another. Truly, if given an inch, Ziolioth will take a mile.
It isn't entirely clear if his foolishness is the cart and the unburdened daring is the runner beast that pulls it
or vice-versa, but there is notable daring to this blue who will both desire to show off as well as pull off risky feats that save another's hide. Sure, he likes looking cool and does have a certain disregard for the rules, but seeing everybody home and unharmed at the end of the day at the cost of a little extra gusto suits Ziolioth just fine.
He is also a highly social creature, preferring being within a group despite his rambunctious lack of consideration for others at times. Ziolioth will easily be the sort to befriend anybody who gives him even the briefest time of day - and then drag them into his shenanigans.
Positive Traits: Carefree, Daring, Sociable
Negative Traits: Disorderly, Lacks Foresight, Irresponsible
Egg Size: Small
Adult Size: 65'
Physical Attributes: Ziolioth is huge, but significantly lacks bulk. He is built much more like his smaller siblings with slim grace. His body is notably short compared to other dragons of his length with more length in his neck and tail.
Additional Notes: Ziolioth is unsurprisingly a reckless Threadfighter and will constantly veer into the airspace of others without thinking about it or flame a wingmate because he wasn't paying attention! This is something his rider will be tasked with preventing and she will have to stay on the alert!
When it comes to Flights, Ziolioth will love to chase but always be surprised when his bombastic energy nets him a caught green! Frankly, he'll be just as surprised to lose. Romance and devotion won't come easily, but he is not limited by the color of any potential partner's hide.
Why Me: Ziolioth's choice is perhaps surprising to anybody who would think a high energy, troublemaking blue would have rather a partner in crime. The truth is, Liniyah is the
perfect partner in crime. Where he lacks foresight and will get himself in over his head, Liniyah is calm and perceptive and can pull his tail out of the fire. Where she fears measuring up and keeps her distance from others, Ziolioth will soothe her of the need to care that she is anybody but her most perfect self and draw her closer to her fellow Weyrlings and riders. With a little bit of work, he is certain to help ease the burden Liniyah has put on her own shoulders to truly embrace herself. In return, Liniyah will help Ziolioth truly shine as exactly who and what he is.
