Aleoth, the If I am the Ship, You are the Shore Bronze
A true adventurer, this Bronze is known to be an entertaining daredevil. If the weyrd needs someone to dive down into that giant black hole to retrieve the lost pub key, he will be the first to volunteer. He is also happy to set out on grander campaigns, such as delivering important messages to distant areas of Planet or even other worlds. Even if he is gone for days or weeks, he always manages to return.
Aleoth considers his bonded to be his home and uses them as a tether to always bring him back from even the wildest of endeavors. You may be mending scratches and bruises regularly, but he has a remarkably high pain tolerance and never acts like any of his injuries bother him. While he is happy for his bonded to join him on some of his escapades, he tends to feel more comfortable when he is journeying alone, knowing that only he is at risk of misfortune or harm. However, he will never decline an invitation to tag along on an adventure. The nights he chooses to spend staying put near his bonded are not frequent, but they are quite precious when they do occur. He is equally happy to tell you tales of his experiences as he is to sit back and receive updates on what has been going on at home. He has a logical, down-to-earth head on his shoulders despite his grandiose tendencies and gives valuable, albeit bold, advice.
Aleoth is the color of fresh clay dirt—a medium brown that has subtle hints of gold and red, but is mostly a pleasant, earthy tone. Golden undertones are more rich and notable around his eyes and spiraling up his legs. The underside of his wings is covered in intricate swirls of the same medium brown, golden-bronze, and a slightly darker brown. These trio of colors interact in a thick marble pattern that might be found in a beautiful layer of earth. He is average in size for a Bronze—an ideal balance between strength and agility.

Noviith, the Best of the Bad Opal
Opals are small, and this one is no exception. They clock in at an average four-foot at the withers, though they have a long, proud neck they hold high that aids in making them look bigger than they are. With a wide stance and chest, barrel-shaped like a bulldog, and broad wings if somewhat stubby in span, and a thick, heavy tail, Noviith is no pushover. Their pearly hide is naturally a field of white for the most part, at least at first glance, but watch them move, especially in the play of light and dark in a night full of stars, or when times are just changing at early dawn or last breaths of sunset, and you'll see ripples of red, violets, and blues shimmering across their smooth hide. There's no particular pattern to it, more as if there's a tiny cosmos hidden just beneath their skin, gaseous nebulae swirling and flowing in their blood.
To many, a life begun amidst a nest of demonic creatures would be quite the inauspicious start, but it fits this wayward Opal. They do not deny that bad things are out there, certainly; do not pretend that you will never hurt, Zenith, never know heartache or homesickness or betrayal or loss or grief. But. But! They also don't pretend things will never become something different. The bad will come, but eventually the good will wash it away; and yes, that too will get washed down by darkness, but only until the next sun shines on the horizon. The bad will come, and we will make the best of it, won't we? Then it doesn't seem so bad, really, when you think on it.
Because of all possible worlds, this one is best, for all of its pain and aches and problems and flaws and faults, for it is the world in which Noviith found you, Zenith. Some may find the stoic acceptance of the less charming parts of life off-putting. That also doesn't bother your smallest Dragon, who knows that you cannot be liked by everyone. You won't always be popular, either of you, Zenith with his goofiness and social fumbles, Noviith with their blunted honesty and head-on facing of struggles. You won't always be happy. You won't always do the right thing, or be appreciated when you do. But you will always know without hesitation that you make each other complete.
