Name: Gideon Fleetwood
Student Gender: Male
Background: Half blooded (father wizard), well off
Personality: very shy in large groups, but talented and charming with smaller ones or when he's in his element. Dueling gives him a very good boost especially since he's good at it. Unfortunately for all the girls in school (or where ever!) Gideon is very clearly gay, and though he doesn't make any kind of fuss about it, he'd prefer others keep quiet about it. He doesn't mind the girls dangling off his muscular shoulders after all, but he'd far rather have the guys do it.

Dragon: Paramazineth
Everyone would have thought that Cepheus would be the next in line, but no, it was Gideon's turn to find his draconic bond friend. More like, the dragon found him! Gideon wasn't known for flubbing spells, so it couldn't possibly have been him mispronouncing something in class - but abruptly a multi-winged and rather gangly long dragon fluttered to the stone floor and rolled around as though trying to collect itself.
"Now that was an entrance!" Gideon laughed, sticking his wand back into its holster and reaching down to let the dragon sniff his hand.
"I'm not a dog," the pale hued dragon muttered, but smelled it anyway. "Hm, manzanita wood in that wand you carry."
"How discerning," Cepheus said with a grin, and Gideon elbowed him in the gut.
"I am Paramazineth, pleased to meet you Gideon... and ... friend," the dragon suspiciously eyed Cepheus who chuckled. "But I am more interested in you than him," he indicated to Gideon. "You may call me Para."
Just about then, the dueling room got noisier, a class was going to start and everyone had been filing in. Gideon was normally found there on his off hours, anyway - and suddenly the girls in the class squealed over how beautiful and glowy and adorable this dragon was! It couldn't be denied!

Other Info: Quiffa is a shapeshifter whose form has remnants of her draconian appearance as shown
As their group wandered Lantessama it was clear they were all still just curious-kids-enough to want to see what this one party was about. She'd heard that there were shapeshifters, dragon-shifters in fact, that attended it, and was positive she could learn something about either humanoid or draconic biology from them. But she did kind of want to observe first... Worried that... well maybe she might accidentally slip into another form herself.
But they mingled with what looked like Humans, plain vanilla humans, for quite a while before it became apparent they needed to out themselves as non-shifters. And although both their current 'hosts' Meryem and Ray were a touch off-put by this fact, they did settle for a nice walk down to the egg chamber.
Others went through the eggs and ... and dragons started coming to them, it was in a word, magical!
But it was also so dangerous, she thought. Normally one didn't just up and fondle the eggs of wild animals. But - but were these even 'animals' in all that term might imply? They were not wild creatures! Wild perhaps, but. They were smart, they were big and beautiful, and magic came from them!
She touched one egg with the most delicate swipe of her fingers, and the shell fell apart to eager bright white claws and a little horn nub. A brown Earth dragoness finally arrived to the world. She had taken piece after piece away, pushing it free and working on another portion, all while Lyra stood nearly dumbstruck. She'd watched chicken eggs hatch but they were nothing like this, the dragonet diligently moved each shard carefully.
It was when she was finally free from the whole thing that she looked with love up at her newfound human companion. And to Lyra's surprise, she spoke in clear words after a little clearing of her throat!
"My name is Quiffa, Lyra, let's go see the firelizards! I've been hearing them all the time while I was in my egg!"
