. ˚ ◝ jenna coleman . cis female . she / her . sarah cuthbert has been living in chicago for six months working as a medical secretary . the thirty year old is known as the seraph because they can be bucolic & blithe as well as diffident & circumspect . once you catch them you’ll discover that their favourite song is thank you for the music by abba . maybe that explains why freshly - cut flowers arranged daily , brightest beams and the scent of gardenia and jasmin perfume describes them so well .
trigger warnings include: mentions of alcoholism .
UNE . / BIOGRAPHY .
act one . british born and bred / softest london accent , slightest irish tilt . mother watches the roses in your cheeks grow , so similar to her own ; father is distant , smells like cheap perfume and cigarettes that you’ve never seen him smoke . he disappears when you turn six , when your mother smiles through glassy tears and reads you a bedtime story with only minimal hiccuping betwixt dialogue . ( it is not the gin , it is the mere force of a ten - year heartbreak . nothing sucks the air out of your lungs more than watching the love of your life leave . ) it’s private schools on a struggling budget , stitching your skirt together year in and year out because there is only so much you can do on a secondary teacher’s salary and a prayer , making the best out of the hard times , blankets upon blankets upon blankets and endless cups of tea because warmth is fleeting . it’s tough , you do not try to lie and neither does your mother . she apologises , ashamed of the way you wear scarves to cover your frayed collars but you smile , and you kiss her cheek , and you start cooking dinner because it is not her fault and you know that . you do not blame your father , either --- --- --- - instead , you shoulder the hardship . at fourteen , you’ve got a selection of after - school jobs that don’t pay well but at least they pay , at least you can contribute . at sixteen , you drop out and for a while , you feel catatonic . it’s as if you shuttle yourself backwards and forwards , work to home to work to home to bed , rinse and repeat and die . it’s tough , but you smile through gritted teeth and swallow sunshine the way your mother’s taken to swallowing gin and swallowing vodka and swallowing --- --- --- - you are eighteen , and you have had enough . you love her , love her dearly but alcoholics anonymous feels like a sham and the pamphlet says that a local organisation can help . it’s with a heavy heart and heavy suitcases that you leave her at the doorstep , and you cannot help but feel like your father . like him before , you do not look back .
act two . you are twenty - one , and this is terrifying . high school dropout stands in front of a university , trembling and clammy but confident , smile etched on those lovely lips as you adjust your collar and prepare for the worst because nothing , nothing can hurt you . you have seen the worst of the world , have carried the burdens of an alcoholic mother and a father like houdini on your frail shoulders since before you knew what any of it meant . you go in , and you expect the worst because how can this university , with all its prestige and awe , ever accept a high school dropout with more trouble tacked onto your name than you are worth ? you go in , but they do not grill you the way you thought they would . they do not sneer when you mention , tone shaking just a little bit , that you have not finished high school , that you know nothing more than what the tenth grade has taught you . you do not know anything past that , but you know that you are kind , that your hands are calloused and sore , that you have worked since you were fourteen and that you are tired of working and you want to live , want to find a reason to live . you leave with your acceptance , pristine in a trembling fist , and it is there and then , your scuffed brogues plastered to cool marble , that you decide to do everything you can to make sure you get to the top , to survive but fuck surviving , you want to thrive and you want to RISE . oh , sweet girl , you do much more than that . you graduate trinity college at the top of your year , and with your medical degree in hand , you decide to conquer the world .
act three . how did you end up here , lovely girl ? how did you find yourself , sprawled on the floor and drunk on vintage wine , homesick but aching with excitement for this new chapter of your life . you leave dublin at twenty - five , and you work in london for a while --- --- --- - a medical secretary at a hospital in camden , a waitress in westminster , you do whatever you need to get by but london doesn’t feel big enough , doesn’t feel enough when you heart aches for something foreign , something new and it’s under the influence of a bottle of rosé that you book your flight to new york . one way . it is terrifying , so large and so full and so very american , too american for your gentle sensibilities and really , that’s something that’ll never leave . you are english , so very english / it’s cups of tea over takeaway coffee , smiling rather than scowling on the subway , giving your seat up , gentleness and politesse that stems deep and wide in the very pit of your belly . new york is too much for you , too loud --- --- --- - so you pack up and you move again , you straighten your ponytail and you take a deep breath and you smile . you smile on the plane to chicago , you smile at the landlord , you smile on your first day of work as a medical secretary . you smile , and you bear it . hasn’t that always been the way ??
DEUX . �� / AESTHETICS .
waking up to the sun streaming , buttery and gentle , across your sheets . mornings spent barefoot in the garden , tea in hand and smile already ghosting upon coruscant brims . sundresses , lace and chiffon and cotton , neat and ironed and just as sunny as the reflection in your eyes . lemonade and home - cooked lunches , neat flower arrangements and the smell of honeysuckle lingering ever - present . dimples in your cheeks , the feel of sunbeams dancing over bared skin . laughter reminiscent of a teenager’s , bright and bubbly and girlish , mellifluous . no hard words , just soft encouragement and those smiles , the kind that melts ice and warms even the coldest of hues . your mother’s wedding band on a slight chain --- --- --- - no note of your father except the sadness when you see a six - year - old whose hand is clutched by that of an adoring father figure . keep calm , carry on , smile .

Brennan Draig (Brennan Athear Draig)
Closest Face claim: Henry Cavill (Witcher) Story role: Main character, love interest
Species: Silver Dragon Age: over a thousand years Class: High social class Education: the Seven Liberal Arts Intelligence: highly intelligent Career: Errant Knight / Warlord
Description:
HUMAN:
Brennan Draig has eyes almost the color of silver. When he uses any magick, they will glow a powder blue. His left eye is clouded a dull grey with a darker silver around the outer edge of the iris. A vertical, thick raised scar darts from right above his left eyebrow, runs down his eyelid, and stops at the beginning of his cheek.
His ash-colored hair hangs loose. Unless he is going into combat, the strands brushes his shoulders. He will either wear his metal armet with gold inlays or keep his hair into a well-kept ponytail.
When Brennan sits, he usually sits with his legs apart and his back resting against the back of the chair. Sometimes, he will rest right hand on the armrest and the other hand will be balled into a loose fist. He will lean his cheek against his left hand.
As a result of a long life, Brennan is deliberate in his actions. He will take some time and think over outcomes. Most of the mortals he has known has passed on in a blink of an eye to him. He is very observant, connected to his environment, and very much aware of shifting dynamics.
DRAGON:
Brennan’s legs are positioned beneath his 640T (580MT) body. He is a digitigrade animal, meaning that he walks on his toes, rather than the entire foot like a human. Brennan’s scales are barely visible, and from a distant, he looks as if he is sculpted out of the highest quality of silver.
As Brennan at the end of his life, his pupils faded away in his draconic form. Instead, his eyes resemble quicksilver. When he uses any magick, the entire eye socket will glimmer with a faint, light blue coloring.
From measuring the very tip of one of his wings to the very tip of the other, Brennan may have the largest wingspan of any of the silver dragons before him. His father’s wingspan dwarfed by his own enormous wings. Brennan’s wingspan spans a maximum of 150ft (45m).
While many would say at first glance that Brennan and other dragons resemble reptiles, they have more in common with sentient big cats. Brennan is more agile than a person would think when they first see a dragon of his length and size.
He knows that his size is usually frightening and, most of the time, inconvenient for going into a town. Due to this, he will spend more time in his human form than his dragon form. It also is incredibly painful to shape-shift back and forth as his flesh, organs, and bones will usually shrink or grow in size between the two forms.
Family:
CHILDREN During mating season, Beatrix and Brennan will usually have a small clutch of eggs. His children either stay with him in Adwen ferch Afan until they are grown or he will have a trusted friend raise them once they reach a certain age (sort of like an apprenticeship).
Many of his children died while protecting Adwen ferch Afan from the invading cult.
Important children for Flight of the Dragon
Aldrien - apprenticeship with Kalzeruth (a gold dragon and ally to Brennan)
Palar - apprenticeship with Kalzeruth
Kanderth - squire to Haliun, a Priest of Amés

Alystin Torrath (Alystin Marie Torrath)
Closest Face claim: Doutzen Kroes Story role: Main character, love interest
Species/ Nationality: Human Woman / Olessan Age: 18 Class: Middle social class Education: Non-formal education Intelligence: Intelligent Career: waitress (formerly) / dragon knight
Description:
Alystin Torrath has sky-blue colored eyes, almost like the heavens on a cloudless day. Like with any magick user on the Mortal Plane, her eyes also will glow blue. This will make them appear lighter, almost like they are baby blue. She wears pink lip rouge, crushing mulberries, lemon, rose petals, and a wine residue together and applies it to her lips.
Her honey blonde hair hangs loose. Unless she is going into battle or entertaining, the strands will rest against the middle of her back. In those cases, she will braid her hair in a loose ponytail braid with white flower accents when she is trying to impress someone. Although Brennan will insist that she wear a metal armet with golden inlays like his, she will try to wear her hair in a tight fishtail braid.
When Alystin sits, she will rest her back against the back of the chair and keep her head up and shoulders down. She will always place her hands on her thigh. Alystin will never slouch but she does sometimes fidget.
As Alystin is still young, she is a bit naive. She believes that everyone has good within them, no matter how awful a person is. Her parents will try to warn her that there are people out there that would harm someone like her, but she thinks she is safe as long has Emray, her overprotective malamute, with her.

Adeon Torrath (Adeon Hesjing Vargach) Story role: Secondary Character
Species: Silver Dragon Age: 200 Class: Middle social class Education: the Seven Liberal Arts Intelligence: highly intelligent Career: Knight Errant (formerly) / Inn Keeper
Description:
HUMAN
Adeon Torrath has dark grey eyes. When he uses magick, they will glow a powder blue. This is the same with any magickal user, as they are utilizing their own life-force.
His unruly ash hair lay in loose and wavy curls. Unless he is in combat, the end of his hair brushes his shoulders and cheeks. If he is in combat, he will always wear a metal armet.
As he is still young, he is more prone to flights of fancy than other silver dragons. Before the tragic fall of Adwen ferch Afan, he mostly would have left his love interest, Isola, and his foster daughter. He is now very protective of both and would defend them with his life.
DRAGON
Like Brennan, Adeon's legs are position beneath his .6T (.5MT) body. He already has an impressive frill that rises high over his head and ends at the tip of his tail. Long silver spines with dark grey tips supports his frill.
He has a beaklike nose and a strong chin. While he is an adult, his scales still have a blue-grey shine to them. This is a birth defect that would have made Adeon undesirable in any females' eyes. He is also on the smaller size with only a 45FT (13.7m) wingspan.
In dragon society, Adeon is said to be an adult. His physical growth had begun to slow--but his body is just entering his prime. Adeon is still honing his mental faculties and trying to master body magick.
Much like other adult dragons, Adeon has chosen his mate, but she is not ideal. Isola Torrath is a human woman. She would perish long before he even would be considered to be a mature adult. He also accepted Alystin as his offspring.
