Physical Description of Persona:
Standing at a lanky 5’10, with black curly hair and brown eyes so dark they might as well be black, the most striking thing about Daltero is the splitting grin he often wears. His animated mannerisms are reminiscent of a scarecrow coming to life -- all joints and a lack of grace. He has a habit of tugging on his hair when thinking or nervous. His tenor voice is surprisingly rich and expressive. Most of his attire is warm, bold colors.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Daltero could be most easily described as goofy around his friends but shy to start when meeting someone. Mostly because he’s just trying to get a read on people. He’s good at that -- figuring out what makes someone tick. It’s a superpower that he uses for good. Usually. He’s not without guile but it usually leans more towards mirthful chaos rather than malicious. He doesn't consider himself a social being -- he like his alone time -- but for some reason, people gravitate towards him, so Daltero is rarely alone.

Maybe this is because he will unabashedly care for others. He might be goofy on the surface but there's a deep seam of connection within him. It means that he doesn't get over heartbreak very well, which makes falling in love one of his bigger fears. Daltero likes plants and swimming. If he can start his day with a swim, he considers that a good day. But please don’t touch his belongings. He really hates that.

History of Persona:
History of Persona: If Daltero is something of a socialite now, he didn’t begin that way. He was a child who clung to his mother’s skirts or always followed his older brothers around. Somewhere around the age of ten is when he developed an independent streak and from then on, it was always someone chasing after him to make sure he wasn’t getting into trouble. Trouble is how he broke his arm at the age of twelve.

His family were farmers so he didn’t question going into it himself. He actually enjoyed seeing the fields get green, even if he complained about the work. There was something validating about the fruits of his labor and all that. In fact, he might have stayed in that life if he and two of his friends hadn’t gotten Searched at sixteen. If they didn’t Impress, they could always just go back, right?

The wait paid off, as Daltero Impressed Helanth when he was twenty-one.

Dragon's Name: Helanth
Dragon's Age: 0
Dragon's Hatching Date: m13 d20
Dragon's Colour: Blue
Description of Dragon:
Helanth is a handsome, strapping young man, and boy does he know it. He is a rich, deep sapphire blue with darker mottling along his flank and wingsails that look positively stunning right after he's been oiled. Halenth's build is long and lean, almost whippy, and always in some kind of motion. His tail flicks as he thinks, he wiggles in excitement, he does excited tippy-taps with his feet when the anticipation gets just too much.

Halenth is flamboyant, dramatic, and delightfully unpredictable. He doesn't take himself nor others all that seriously, and has a flair for charismatic adaptability that makes most things roll off his back with delighted indifference. It's not that he doesn't care, however, and no one would really consider him callous-- but his draconic lack of memory sets him firmly in the present, without much care about the past or future. It gives him a certain je ne sais quoi, Bitra-May-Care attitude. His mind hums with restless, creative energy; he wants to be _doing_ and has no patience for sloth, and it will take a lot for Daltero to rein him in-- should he want to rein Helanth in.

He gravitates towards daring feats, sly jokes, and the passion of chasing greens. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed, and he can hardly remember yesterday, so why not make the most of today?

Helanth is loyal to His and his own with absolute ferocity, protective and unshakeable, especially when it comes to anyone trying to dim Daltero's spark. He encourages Daltero to be bold, to make daring choices, and to find joy in the most unexpected of places. He wants, above all else-- for them both to live loudly and brilliantly.

And without any apology.
