(No picture. DX)
Details;
Hair, Eyes & Skin - Vinxi's hair is lighly wavy, and a nice coppery color. She likes to keep it no longer than just a couple of inches below her shoulders, which is the length it is now.
Her eyes are a color that could be compared to swampy water, somewhere between blue, green and gray. They're very lively, however, and always sparkle or glimmer or glitter with whatever emotion she's feeling at the time.
Her skin is mottled. Seriously. She's the type of person who gets freckles instead of sun tans, and since she adores her freckles, she spends as much time outside in the sun as she can. As a result, her skin is a spotted, freckly mess. And, not all of them are the same color - here and there, you'll find a few darker and lighter shaded ones dotted about.
Ahh, well. At least no one'll be able to tell when she's dirty, right?
As for any scaring, well... Nothing horrible, but you'd be likely to spot one or two here and there.
Body Build, Height & Clothing - Vinxi's always been a tomboyish kind of girl, the kind who has a nice body, very fit and has lots of stamina from the running around she did and does, but nothing exceptional in the curves or bust department.
She's also short. Incredibly so, and she absolutely hates it. She's five feet tall, barely that much, and resents every inch that she doesn't have. She doesn't complain about it much unless provoked.
Vinxi wears whatever clothes she has that are clean at the moment. She loves all kinds, and doesn't really care if she mixes and matches them. One day you may find her going about in sleeping pants and a swimming top (one of the more modest ones, of course) under a long vest, and the next she'll be in a Gather tunic and shorts that used to be long pants, but she cut them off to her just above her knees when they became too full of holes and rips.
Other - Can't think of anything to put here at the moment...
Personality:
When Vinxi was younger she was a very vibrant, free, energetic person.
She hardly ever bothered to take a moment's rest, bouncing from one task to the other with the greatest of ease - multitasking and balancing half a dozen or more things on her plate at once was her forte.
Her mind's reflexes are lightning fast. She's very quick at coming to conclusions and gifted at estimating, and she is rarely wrong. She takes offence at very little and there are few people who she would hesitate to try to befriend.
She's tolerant of everyone's faults and mistakes, and even if they were to cheat or lie or betray her, she might not allow herself to be as close to them as she had been, but she would still give them aid if they needed it.
She's one of the few types of persons who don't try to shield themselves or hide their feelings, and let themselves feel to the fullest they can.
She revels in emotions. She feeds off of them and seems to catch the atmosphere easily, and sometimes, if it's strong enough, her own mood unconciously changes to fit it.
However, this way of life definitely has it's disadvangtages.
Vinxi does not deal well with stress, sorrow, confusion, fear, and other negative emotions. She allows her feelings to rule her, and that includes the bad ones.
She is very smart, so it's not easy to fool her intellectually. Her emotions are the way to go - you can play her like an instrument if you're skilled in doing that sort of thing.
When the plague came, she was a literal mess.
She was utterly miserable, through and through, in almost every way. She may not have been sick physically, but emotionally she was on her deathbed. In her mind, she knew she should help out however she could (being a Weyrling, she could certainly step in and do the chores that people didn't have time to do in such a panic, and she had always been good with comforting others), but...
She went through most of the plague in a haze of depression that got thicker by the day. She wasn't the only one who may have done that, but she was one of the ones who had it the deepest.
She not only felt for herself, but every time she heard of another person (or Dragon) who had died, whether it was someone she knew or not, she felt a little more sorrow fill her.
She genuinely cares about everyone.
After a long time, she managed to be dragged out of her ditch. She resituated herself back into life, and did become a full Rider not too long before the Eastern Continent was discovered.
She slowly reverted back to basically the same person she was before, but there's always a very, very small, almost-invisible-unless-you-know-exactly-how-to-look-for-it undercurrent of sorrow in her eyes, and if she talks about her family or friends, or life before, her voice tends to gain an odd strain in it.
History:
Father - A Bluerider, named R'xeh (Raixeh).
Mother - A Greenrider, by the name of Noriian.
Siblings - Nope. When she was born, it caused complications internally for her mother. She was unable to have any other children.
Vinxi grew up a Weyrbrat, and close to her parents. They didn't have as much time to spend with her as they (and she) would have liked, because of their Weyr duties and Dragons, but she loved the time they did spend together.
Vinxi had an average childhood. She had mishaps, adventures, got in trouble, learned things, did this and that and tried to do the other thing...
Nothing abnormal.
She did run with R'sius and was sometimes part of his crazy plans, but not very often. She liked him, and was his friend, and he was hers (they were somewhat like a brother and a sister who went to different schools), but they were never terrifically close.
Vinxi had her close circle of friends, and he had his.
Her Impression was the best moment, the absolute, undisputed highlight of her life. Everyone was baffled at how she and Taiaxth managed to get along and not drive each other spare (for, the Green had quickly made a reputation for herself). They just meshed so well... The combination of personalties allowed a lot of different objectives to be covered.
The Dragon always knows, as they say...
Everything was going quite well... Until the plague, anyway.
Vinxi was about two years from being a full Rider when it hit, and everything started going downhill. Fast. Her parents were some of the first to die.
Vinxi was one of the ones who pulled through. She made it intact physically, but for a while, she wasn't up to doing much at all. Eventually, with Taixath's, ahem, prodding, and a little help from R'sius and his Murhcyth (all four of them grew closer through the trials, and Murhcyth is one of the few males that Taixath will begin to tolerate), things ironed back out for her.
Pets:
None, though she thinks that she'd like a canine or a feline at some point.

Dragon Name:
Taiaxth.
Dragon Color:
Green.
Age:
Eleven turns.
Personality:
Taiaxth, as pretty as is she is on the outside, is nothing like that on the inside.
Taiaxth is a very rough-mannered Green, who dislikes being social just for the sake of it. She's as passionate and impulsive as all the other Greens who have those traits; however, she refuses to make friends with anyone unless she approves of them in every way first, and that could take who-knows-how-long.
Taiaxth is absolutely disdainful to everyone. She has very little patience, and no tolerance at all for those who irraite her, no matter who they are. She barely even manages to be polite to Vinxi's friends, and does that by ignoring them entirely, unless she approves of them herself.
She is, however, very honorable and trustworthy, and never outright insults anyone unless they truly deserve it, or unless they pick a fight with her. She is utterly savage in her fierce protectiveness over Vinxi, too, and has scared quite a few of the younger Weyrlings and Candidates who aren't used to her or haven't heard (-cough-beenwarned-cough-) of her.
She is surprisingly quiet and insightful when alone with Vinxi. She's highly intuitve, as most Greens tend to be, and she trusts her heart rather than her mind above all else.
One other odd thing about Taiaxth is that she abhorrs Rising. She is highly mistrustful and dislikes generally all male Dragons, though she tolerates Blues, Dunes and occasionally other lower-ranking males (but mostly Blues and Dunes) better than she does the other colors. She will drag out a Flight for as long as she possibly can, and even then the male will have to catch her very much against her will.
Occasionally that will induce a tiny spot of respect in her for whoever catches her, if the Dragon does well enough (if not she won't speak to them at all for a very long time). She believes herself to be an expert in flying, and though she is very good, she isn't quite as good as she thinks she is.
Appearence:
Taiaxth is a pretty, pale, minty-green all over, with the occasional, large, heavily-sprinkled patches of a darker grassy green in random places, reminiscent of her Rider's freckles. She's not built much differently from any other Green, aside from being very, well... whip-pily made. Her tail, limbs, neck and wings all seem so quick and fluid in movement.
She's a small Green (for one from Syamynth's line, anyway), also much like her Rider, measuring just at twenty-five meters, and she always moves, and flies, very, very precisely. Every move she makes has a reason, and even as a Hatchling she rarely stumbled or lost her balance.
As for scars, Taiaxth has only what would be expected from a Thread-fighting Dragon. She has various scores, but nothing awfully disfiguring.
