Physical Description of Persona:
Stocky and broad-shouldered, once vivid red hair now starting to gray, blue-grey eyes. His face is weathered and creased from years of dragonriding and the stresses that come with it, but there are also just as apparent laugh lines. Old Threadscore traces over his left cheek, drawn scar faded with age.

Emotional Description of Persona:
At first impression R'lant is prickly as a thornbush, gruff and outwardly irritable. However, if one peers beneath R'lant has a kind heart and a soft spot for both injured dragons and their riders, and a stubborn streak that will push him into doing his best for each and every patient assigned to him.

History of Persona:
Rolant was born to Healer parents Rolak and Lantia, and raised in and around the Healers’ domain at Thayan Peak Weyrhold. He joined the Healers at 12, but chose to stand, just once, at 16. Wonder of wonders, brown Polth wandered his way!!!

As it was during the Interval, he was allowed to continue his training, and even after the return of Thread, spent every minute he could spare still working in the Infirmary.

And when disaster hit the Weyrhold, R'lant and Polth had no choice but to fly south and find a new home in Dolphin Cove Weyr.

Dragon's Name: Polth
Dragon's Age: 50
Dragon's Hatching Date: m6 d23
Dragon's Colour: Brown
Description of Dragon:
Strong and stocky, with thick arms and legs, and a heavyset chest, Polth is definitely on the ‘chunky’ side--almost matching his rider. He more than makes up for the lack of slenderness, however, with long, broad wings and his sheer size rivaling some bronzes.

His hide is a lighter, sandy, sort of brown, though banded darker along his back, and encircling his legs, as if worn darker by ropes- though who indeed would dare to rope a dragon?

Polth is a stolid sort of dragon, choosing to speak only rarely and never protracted chattering. Those younger or smaller than him will calmly be interacted with, be they dragon or human, and he’s had more than a few kids scrambling over him over the years.

It’s only rarely that his temper is roused, and when it is, the brown will deliberately turn away, and proceed to ignore the guilty party, until an apology is forthcoming or until the why of it is forgotten.
