✧ ⸻ [ grace van patten, cis woman, she / her ] ; congratulations on surviving the parapet, cadet waverly dunbar, and welcome to the rider’s quadrant ! at twenty - five years old, you should know exactly what it takes to make it to graduation, especially being so warm and selfless. though, i do suppose your tendencies to be callow and paranoid may make it hard to survive until threshing. other cadets say you remind them of watercolor bruises blossoming against your fair skin from hours in sparring, weeping into your palms after your first kill, the stark contrast of floral scented shampoo and the metallic scent of blood, but we’ll have to see how true that is. remember: if you want a dragon — earn one.

IV. BIOGRAPHY.
raised by a rider family, waverly always knew she was destined to be a rider. from a young age, she watched with envy as both her parents & both her older brothers experienced the inexplicable bond between a dragon & its rider & she always knew that that’s what she wanted. growing up, people often told her she should plan for something else instead -- she was tender-hearted, empathetic, & soft, & everyone insisted that those qualities wouldn’t make a good rider. in response, she simply held her head higher, shutting them all out & leaning on her family’s support to chase her own dreams. she didn’t spend her childhood training to be a rider, however. her interest in being a rider is one thousand percent about an insatiable admiration & need to appreciate a dragon up close & wanting to experience that bonding, & has literally nothing to do with the thrill, the stakes, the gore, or the power that comes with being a rider. all of those things are moreso the negatives in waverly’s brain, the things she has to ‘tough it out’ through in order to achieve her dreams of seeing the world through the clouds. for that reason, much to the quadrant’s dismay after her two stellar rider brothers have passed through, waverly isn’t much of a fighter & has continuously come out on the bottom in every way that counts so far in basgiath. she barely made it across the parapet, i imagine she was one of the last few, limbs trembling & collapsed once she got across... but she still made it ! where she lacks in brawn, she makes up for in dedication. she works hard in her classes to learn all she can about being a rider, & volunteers at every opportunity to take on more duties or more learning. she’s optimistic about it all, despite the fact that she’s literally.... getting & going to get the crap pummeled out of her & has a very slim chance of survival but tbh she thinks the chance of bonding with a dragon is worth it.
personality - wise, she’s like a ray of sunshine that doesn’t know when to stop. she’s like prim everdeen crying over that mean cat.... & she probably barfs at the things she sees at basgiath even more than violet did tbh... but she’s also captain america getting the shit kicked out of him & then standing up & being like ‘i could do this all day !’ even when it’s like baby no you really can’t.... she’s sensitive but hides it, both out of fear of being targeted by other cadets & bc fake it til you make it. in the same vein, she can be super naive bc she just genuinely wants to see the best in ppl, but is also a Paranoid Pisces so like. she’s in a constant dilemma & anxious quite a lot but yanno that’s how i like my muses : suffering < 3
V. WANTED CONNECTIONS.
other cadets who give a found family vibe~ people she feels... semi-safe around
the rhiannon to her violet, someone who wants to show her the ropes & help her not seem so helpless... or simply can’t stand to see her get her shit rocked lol
corruption moment... someone who is kind of like ‘grow up’. bad stuff happens. get used to it ! a little tough love if you will
someone super protective over her please please i will give my first born
ppl to kind of play with her feelings a little bit... make her your fiddle & PLAY HER
i’d LOVE a professor who is kind of helping her out a little more whether it’s bc they pity her or because they’re skeptical of whether she deserves to be here or not
anyone who doesn’t like her simply bc they think she doesn’t have what it takes ( she probably doesnt ) or because they just annoy each other... i want someone to bring out a meaner side to her
anything & everything else !

✧ ⸻ [ lizeth selene, genderfluid, they / she ] ; congratulations on surviving the parapet, cadet carmen jimenez, and welcome to the rider’s quadrant ! at twenty - three years old, you should know exactly what it takes to make it to graduation, especially being so persevering and ardent. though, i do suppose your tendencies to be obstinate and disdainful may make it hard to survive until threshing. other cadets say you remind them of the way your heart remains lodged in your throat long after carrying out a risky flight maneuver, an unsettling gaze that is both frigid & sweltering, split knuckles wrapped around a dagger rusted with blood, but we’ll have to see how true that is. remember: if you want a dragon — earn one.
I. BASICS .
full name. carmen ana jimenez. age. twenty - three. gender. genderfluid. pronouns. they / them & she / her ( please use them interchangeably ! ) current location. rider’s quadrant. status. single ; unattached. orientation. queer / lesbian / homoromantic. siblings. none. signet. not yet manifested. dragon. not yet bonded. allegiance. the rider’s quadrant.
II. APPEARANCE .
hair. near - black hair that throws warm brown hues in the light, typically worn piled atop their head haphazardly or in its natural texture in waves across her shoulders. eyes. midnight colored. height. five feet three inches. scars. various small nicks across her joints from her childhood of training to become a rider. relics. none yet.
III. MISCELLANOUS.
position. first year, first wing, tail section, second squad member. strengths. persevering, ardent, valiant. weaknesses. obstinate, disdainful, singleminded. hogwarts house. gryffindor. alignment. chaotic neutral. zodiac sign. gemini. media inspirations. johanna mason ( the hunger games ), danika fendyr ( crescent city ), sam carpenter ( scream franchise ), jesper fahey ( grishaverse ), kol mikaelson ( the originals ).
IV. BIOGRAPHY.
carmen was not meant to be a rider at birth. they were born to a single mother, a healer who considered herself meek & soft-spoken. everyone always joked that they had no clue where this child had come from, all lifted chins & bared teeth & reckless ferocity. & yet carmen always loved their mother just the same, never thinking less of the fact that miss jimenez was a healer even though carmen always knew she was destined for more. so their mother, ever the people pleaser, allowed carmen to train from as young as ten years old with the mindset that it’s better that she prepares her for danger than trying to keep her from it & getting her killed. so carmen worked as hard as they could, every day, for twelve years to be worthy of crossing the parapet & bonding with a dragon. it almost didn’t happen, as right before carmen was meant to leave for basgiath, her mother became secretive & reclusive, staying up late & looking unwell, as if the life had been sucked out of her. understandably, carmen grew worried, asking repetitively what was going on but their mother kept tight lips, said little, & continued encouraging their child to prepare for what awaited them. now that carmen is here, fully immersed in the rider’s quadrant & eating, sleeping, & breathing this life, they’re starting to wonder if perhaps their mother’s elusiveness has to do with something that might put her in danger, but with the tight rules about outside correspondence, their hands are tied. they’re trying their very best to make it through this first year, although they have full confidence that they will. they’ve prepared every waking moment for the last decade for this, although they’re having a hard time wrapping their head around all the death that surrounds them now that they’re here. they always knew how consistently death showed his face in basgiath, but with every person carmen kills or every friend she watches die they grow angrier & angrier, threatening to boil over at any given moment.
personality wise, carmen is a lot like their media inspirations. they’re very johanna mason coded -- cutthroat when they need to be, grief manifesting in anger, & doesn’t do well with authority figures ( when they’re in the�� wrong, that is ). i imagine them breaking quite a few rules while they’re in basgiath, but also working her ass off to get where she needs to be in order to bond a dragon. i also think that carmen & their mother both are probably rebellion sympathizers but obviously that’s not common knowledge or anything they would verbalize, but just something that’s been bouncing around in their brain since they are kind of anti - authority in a lot of ways. also she’s very much an act first think later type person. talk shit n you WILL get hit. n e ways, i’d love some very chaotic things for my very chaotic child !
V. WANTED CONNECTIONS.
enemies enemies enemies !!! be it people that see what a threat carmen is with how quickly they’ve been flying through the challenges thus far, or people who just give bombastic side eye due to their inability to follow rules i just would really like some negative angsty things for car < 3
perhaps a little romantic tension for the girlies.... i would just love some wlw angst here tbfh doesn’t matter if it’s past or present
friends who are children of traitors or w / e .... again i think carmie is a rebellion sympathizer so she’d definitely be befriending those with rebellion relics
older riders who either don’t like carmen’s spunk / confidence / ego or who see a mini version of themselves in her & want to teach them all that they know
chaotic reckless friends who are encouraging carmen’s bad decisions like piercing their nose in their first year barracks late at night or drinking so much they’re hungover in class the next day
literally anything else pls

✧ ⸻ [ hande erçel, cis woman, she / her ] ; welcome back to the rider’s quadrant, aylin binici, we’re so glad to see you’ve survived for your second year ! you may be twenty - seven years old, but it’s your signet of gyrokinesis ( gravity manipulation ), and your proclivity for being articulate and affable, that let you get this far. i see you’re just as rash and vain as you were before, rider. your dragon is the male, blue scorpiontail dragon named cydren, right ? rumor among the riders is that you remind them of the serenity in surveying the stars from the back of your dragon in the early morning quiet, a journal with every name of every cadet you’ve lost that lives under your pillow, a too-loud laugh that transforms into a snort because you value the little things in life, but who takes stock in that ? do try to stay in line, won’t you ?
I. BASICS .
full name. aylin emine binici. age. twenty - seven. gender. cis woman. pronouns. she / her. current location. rider’s quadrant. status. single ; unattached. orientation. bisexual, biromantic. siblings. older sister ( deceased ), younger brother ( possible wc ). signet. gyrokinesis, or gravity manipulation. dragon. cydren, a male blue scorpiontail dragon who has had three former riders. allegiance. the riders quadrant.
II. APPEARANCE .
hair. milk chocolate hair that falls to mid back, typically worn loose or in a braided bun during sparring & other combat. eyes. a deep brown that nearly appears black. height. five feet nine inches. scars. a raised scar on the back of her left hand from where a blade passed through during a mat challenge in first year, a thin & long line across her collarbone from cydren during the threshing. relics. a blue dragon spread across the expanse of her lower back, just above her hips. ( tramp stamp placement lol )
III. MISCELLANOUS.
position. second year, second wing, flame section, second squad leader. strengths. articulate, affable, quick-thinking. weaknesses. rash, vain, opinionated. hogwarts house. gryffindor. alignment. chaotic good. zodiac sign. leo. media inspirations. bryce quinlan ( crescent city ), mira sorrengail ( fourth wing ), finnick odair ( thg ), morrigan ( acotar ), rhiannon ( fourth wing ), fleur delacour ( harry potter ).
IV. BIOGRAPHY.
tw: parental death, sibling death.
like most riders, aylin was born to a rider family, but unlike some of her fellow riders, her parents never pressured her into being as they were. both her father & mother were proud of their riding background, & aylin grew up to bedtime stories about the irreplaceable bond between a rider & their dragon. ever since she was a child, she was too brave for her own good, determination turning her blood steely more than once. she was impulsive & quick on her feet, like her mother, but at her father’s encouragement studied thoroughly in order to also instill humor, friendliness, a carefree attitude, & a intellectual side in her as well. if she didn’t already know she was meant to be a rider, her mother’s death solidified her decision, vowing that she would use her balance of grit & softness in order to better the country & help her fellow riders. she made it through her first year in one piece, much to everybody’s surprise, as she was often taunted & challenged during her first year for seeming too light - hearted about things as well as appearing vain, if not egotistical. there’s no harm in being both beautiful & badass, but it took aylin a hot minute to prove herself to her fellow cadets -- that she was more than just a glittery smile, flirtatious looks, & some nervous jokes the whole way across the parapet. at the end of her first year, her older sister damla, a third year, was tragically killed during a classified mission she was sent away on, but the rumor is she sacrificed herself for another rider. since then, aylin has made it her vow to step up & help cadets become incredible riders in damla’s name, so she’s now trying to balance her more light - hearted personality with both the grief she can’t make peace with & the responsibility of truly accepting what it means to be a rider.
personality wise, she’s a good mix of badass and beauty like i mentioned before. very fleur delacour in that she’s easy to underestimate but is definitely not stupid & a lot stronger, braver, & smarter than people think. she’s like.... if love quinn wasn’t a sociopath. very charismatic, kind to others, but can double down & do what needs to be done in the moment, though it does have some effects on her. i love her she’s very much my sarcastic sassy baby who loves the rider life < 3
V. WANTED CONNECTIONS.
someone who’s dragon is mated to cydren, pls < 3 i love the forced proximity trope
past / current flings, easy fun for aylin ( i think she has commitment issues bc she has so much on her plate )
will they / won’t they ?
besties ! give me some friends for aylin, second years that were cadets alongside her, third years who took her under their wing, or first years she’s trying to mentor herself. she’s pretty friendly so i imagine she has a ton of friends of different types < 3
enemies... either people who thought / think aylin is a threat, or useless, or just plain people who rub her the wrong way. i love it pls gimme
anything & everything else ! i love filling wc so send them my way
