Bonding at Caer Paniya

Aagneya

Status: Servant, from a line that has only arrived to this area when she was 9, and became indentured essentially on accident; they arrived just before the wildfire that cost several inhabitants their lives, and burned Felix's older brother Xavier, and though they had nothing at all to do with this fire, the group was blamed for it anyway and are now 'working it off'. When that will end, who knows...
Age: 17
Gender: female, bisexual
Siblings: 1 (sister)
Born: last
Legitimacy: illegitimate, though she's only distantly N'somekan they don't regularly practice marriage in her culture, however having a steady partner is important enough that they do recognize lineage
Childhood Health: often quite sickly, the town was frequented by many travelers and they tended to bring far too many odd coughs and sneezes with them
Adult Height: just normal for their age in height
Adult Build: muscled, built strongly
Skin Tone: light brown with freckles, large dark lips and features found among the local gryphoners only on the very light end of their skin spectrum thanks to several grand and great-grand parents being from other cultures
Hair Color: auburn red
Hair Style: afro-curled, often with a scarf or headband to keep it from her face
Hair Length: poofy and if let down or straightened might go to her lower back, but it's quite heavily curled
Eye Color: dark brown, large, honest looking
Literacy Level: cannot write, but can read simple words; when Searched she was given testing and still likes looking over her flash cards and practicing in her journal, her script is poor but she has a good comprehension level now that she's bonded
Politeness Level: they know their place in society and are deferential to their superiors, she and Felix however know better than to assume that anyone in power is actually 'superior'
Focus: a good amount of time is spent keeping their attention from wandering; according to her former boss she has the attention span of a flitter, but that's far from true, she is merely more interested in learning new things rather than concentrating on old ones
This character is certainly one of the best looking folks around, Aagneya was going to be facing more and more unsavory tasks as 'punishment' for her work going undone, and any other - plain looking - young woman might have been beaten or even just ignored for those 'infractions' - being as beautiful as she is, this made her a target and thankfully Felix noticed this behavior right away
They give and take without thinking of consequences of either; though her sister and she grew up under the stern work force of a farming holder, they are both generous and tend to share whether someone wants what they have or not, and it was this feature that attracted Felix to her the most, since she was also equally gracious when given items or gifts

Values and Goals
Values: their secret family recipie for food; the spices that are used in her family's cook pots are rare and highly prized, and now that she's got a dragon to help her wing it back to her home village she knows she'll be able to continue the traditions after locating those plants... maybe she'll even start a new garden with Jazuik's help
Values: being far from her 'boss', that man and his cronies were the worst of the bunch, but she does know that most others in Felix's home town weren't nearly as awful - she just got 'lucky'...
Weak goal: marry and have a family, she's pretty sure that Felix is on board with this
Very weak fear: being alone, she grew up in a close knit family, even if they were small as a unit their village always helped raise children together, so she has fond memories of being surrounded by aunties and uncles, cousins, and more distant relatives at all times. She wants to bring this to her own family, some day.
Very weak fear: heights, though this isn't much of an issue when the skies are clear, she is petrified to the point of not even getting on Jazuik's back if there is lightning or rains, and particularly fog - though if he convinces her to stay on and push through she always is okay with it in the end
Odd Skill (learned outside of craft if any): club or stick fighting; Felix taught her how to fight back against the nasty advances of her boss, and though he'll always be slightly better at it than she is, she's still quite strong and can occasionally land remarkably precise hits

Arrived to Caer Paniya from the same plainsland community that Felix grew up in, Thornbloom House
Originally From: the N'someka scrubland central to Paniya, her grandfather was a gryphoner in the tribe used to handling vulture-hyena griffs
Location size: kind of large, though she thinks that 'large' might be overrated - the village she was from was better organized, and she's taken some insults from those Thornbloom settlers that don't understand why she'd want to try and change what was 'right and wrong' about the place
Location climate: very hot and tends toward windstorms from the scrub, but with the streams and now houses and structures built among the broken cliffs it seems like the place is going to be a good rest destination
Searched: this morning, when Felix and others were summoned to the hatching sands for the last of this unusual nest, someone's dragon took a sniff or two at her and declared that she too should be on those sands with her friend.

*** from hatching ***

One of those newly hatched and eagerly chirping dragonets could be seen digging in the soft, warm sand directly below his mother's wingsail, and managed to scooch himself out from under it. He looked quite pleased with himself, absolutely sure that he'd done so without her noticing!

Of course she had seen and felt it, but as a mother must, Fayvazh let the little bronze have his illusions. He was liberally sprinkled with various depths of pale, bright, and slightly reflective peach; his nose resembled the color of sand, but by the time anyone could see his tail they saw a shimmer of metallic bronze clear as day... As well as boldly copper-shaded wingsails, tail spade, and crest. His silver horn nubs were true to his parentage, however similar he might have been to any given bronze around Paniya.

With a bit of swagger, this dragonet plopped himself in front of Felix , the Thornbloom hold runaway, whose girlfriend squealed and clapped her hands when he finally knelt down to help the dragon up. That dragon still looked proud of himself as ever, even if he had to be dusted off and picked up. The palest color of the dragon's hide was echoed in Felix's hair, and apparently they both noted this privately. A conversation was had, one that others weren't privy to.

“This is Stizhek ,” Felix announced, and the dragonet attempted to trumpet in agreement... managing to spit a bit of sand onto his new bond. The sand flew in quite a lot of directions, and with a force that indicated much more than merely a sneeze.

They got this dragon registered and squared away, the paperwork being handled once more by Qalam's daughter. A few minutes after this, she nudged her father, but didn't really need to since most could see the red nose squirming under Fayvazh's other wing now. The queen lifted that wing up properly, so that the dragonet didn't have to squirm so much or get himself any more covered than he was by the sand. He wanted to be seen, as he walked with purpose. That purpose was apparently Aagneya.

Though the sand still dusted his dark hide, it was clear that this boldly marked red wanted to bond right away. Heavily speckled between crimson and deep red, the body and backs of his wings were darker than blood. His feet, head and neck, and wing fingertips were dusted with brilliant red, and when he opened his wings up to flap them, getting sand everywhere, they too were incredibly brightly red, with dark mottling along their edges. Silver horns and claws marked him as well, from this accidental-third-clutch.

Several dragons who observed from the ledges above, as well as numerous others in the nearby caverns, gave little trumpets of welcome, when Aagneya embraced him. “Jazuik,” she cried, “says he wants to help me with my greenhouse!” Brighter than any poppy, the dragon seemed to want to get right to it.
