Description: | Though she might someday be beautiful, dignified, and graceful, as a pup Eshanath is just cute, amusing, and clumsy. Her paws and wings seem just a bit too big for her, her feathered tail is short and pup-stubby, and her feathery head-crest is constantly flopping over into her face. Even so, her hide is certainly beautiful, an ever-changing mottling of silvered blue, like mercury, that is as fluid as her moods. Half her tail, the tip of her muzzle, the rims of her ears, and her legs up to the elbow and hock are largely a grayed blue-violet, and her feathered head- and tail-crests both begin silver but fade to white. She has webbed toes and feathered wings, silver with their primaries barred in gold and white, and tipped in black. Like her father, she has a pair of long feathers, like drooping antennae, falling nearly to her shoulders and sprouting from over her eyes, which are also inherited from her father: one is amber, the other is blue. |
Personality: | Many things about Eshanath's are very much
like her bond, as she should be: she is not a "people-person",
she is extremely stubborn, and she is decidedly moody--
"mercurial", as her color would suggest, easily flitting from
annoyed to amused to affectionate and back again with very little
warning and often even less reason. She is also very literal and tends
to jump to conclusions, just like Shoel, and is just as intelligent and
practical. She can certainly be every bit as intimidating, if not more
intimidating, than Shoel in a mood to get things done.
In many ways, though, Eshanath is quite different, also as it should be. For example, she can read and understand people much more adeptly than Shoel, though she usually doesn't like what she sees and would prefer to avoid most of the Nexus' inhabitants. Though Shoel is quick to change her perceptions when her hastily-made conclusions turn out to be wrong, Eshanath is less forgiving, believing that people's actions in such stressful situations as form first impressions prove their worth, rather than words or apologies given later. Her moodiness, also, runs a wider range than Shoel's, and she has far less difficulty simply ordering people around if there is a need to-- whereas Shoel feels the need to be polite, Eshanath, more often than not, does not. Eshanath, too, has a temper, but hers simmers rather than explodes early on, for she is better at controlling it, and controlling what comes of it when she does explode. She is more philosophical than her bond, and though she isn't exactly the curious type, she takes her name very seriously and ends up asking questions, exploring, and learning, anyway. Her sense of humor is there, but it is about as low-level as Shoel's, and rather than expressing itself in teasing or chuckling, Eshanath's sense of humor is snide and sarcastic: she is nearly always ready with an acidicly witty comment that, if you take it seriously, could be hurtful. Shoel, at least, has learned not to take her remarks too seriously, though even with her Eshanath has been known to go too far. |
Abilities: | Like all wraith-dragons, Eshanath can make her body go intangible, forcing her mass if not her appearance into the spirit realm. She also possesses the ability to cast high-level Fire and Illusion magic, though she still needs quite a bit of training before she can make much use of it. She has a high sensitivity to location and direction, able to know where she is, no matter what realm, with relative exactness-- Eshanath will never get lost-- and she has the capability of learning her bond's form of necromancy, to some extent, though to what extent that might be, neither is quite sure yet, as they have yet to try any magic together. |
