Physical Description of Persona:
5'11'' and with an average build, Daiirue seems to move through the world with an easy grace normally found in professional dancers. Calm gray eyes give the impression of complete ease with the world except when upset, when they usually betray him by turning bloodshot. His dark brown hair causes his skin to look lighter no matter how deep the tan, and gives the impression of a perpetual light sunburn.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Underneath his tight self-control, Daiirue is a dreamer whose dearest wish is to save the world –or at least his true love. He is enough of a realist to know it will never happen, but he can't quite bring himself to give up hope. When alone he is an avid reader, particularly of romance novels. He can be extremely patient when trying to get something he wants, but having his emotions turned inward all the time means that when something breaks through, be it joy or anger, it does with a vengeance. He cannot hold his wine _at_all_ and gets roaring drunk –and brutally honest- on anything more than half a glass.

History of Persona:
Born to minor holders Ruteure and Gaiide of Windy Spire Hold, Daiirue was the seventh of their eleven children. When he was nine, his parents decided to foster him at nearby Crooked Rapids Hold with his brothers Gaiiteure, and Daiite. Holder Stryor was a second cousin of Gaiide, and his wife Avaia had eight daughters, but no sons. With no closer family due to the Plague, they were recruiting Gaiide's extra sons to train as potential heirs.

Daiirue, although he learned quickly and showed great promise, had little interest in hold management. His brothers were more ambitious, and seeing that their younger brother preferred to spend time watching the weavers, began encouraging Daiirue to hang around them as much as possible. It became obvious that Daiirue's heart wasn't in his lessons, but Stryor had grown fond of him and when he turned thirteen he was allowed to apprentice to the hold weaver.

When he fifteen, his bronze flit flew a green belonging to Stryor's daughter, Tria. Tria had been eyeing the young weaver for several months, and used the flight as an excuse to approach him, claiming they were meant to be together. Daiirue, who had a mad crush on the pretty girl, was more than happy to believe her. Unfortunately Daiite caught them exploring each other in the broom closet shortly after the relationship began and turned them in. Daiirue was immediately packed off to the weaverhall, and by the time he returned for Gaiiteure's marriage to Stryor's daughter Savai, Tria had been married off.

He worked hard, at his craft, grateful to be away from his scheming brothers, and shortly after the birth of his second nephew made it to Journeyman. He had returned to the hold for Gaiiteure's confirmation as Stryor's heir and was about to return to the crafthall when searchriders appeared in the sky.

Description of Dragon:
Wisarth is an eager and curious young dragon, who knows exactly what he wants. The soft worn color of a well-loved leather book cover, he is growing a little faster than most browns his age, but it is already obvious he is likely to be an average size when he finishes growing.

Pets

Vree, Bronze Firelizard: aged 16, hatched m7 d9
Vree was a twelveth birthingday gift to Daiirue from Stryor and Avaia, as an incentive to stay with his management lessons. He is an averaged size bronze the rich polished color of the metal by firelight, and is quite vain. Obedient and reliable, he prefers to be near Daiirue, at least until something more interesting or female catches his attention. He is very nosy and likes to stick his head into the cooking pot to see what's being made, resulting in more than one burn scar on his nose and neck for his trouble.
