Meldioth hatched in the fourth Flurry at Ryslen, and it shows, although he does not have the snow-patterned hide of many Flurry-born. scales: none markings: unevenly splotched bright bronze on white
Description	In a time when so many can trace their ancestry to many worlds, Meldioth is something of an oddity: a pureblooded Pernese - or so, at least, it seems. Both his parents hatched in Sapphire Weyr; it's anyone's guess where their color-dashed white hides came from, though, a patterning that Meldioth has inherited. His Pernese heritage shows; he has, too, the overly large paws and and spaded tail of most Ryslen-born. It's a bit of an odd juxtaposition. He'll be as big as any old-world bronze when full-grown; at the moment, however, he's not quite through the gangly stage of adolescence.
Magic	None but
Powers	the telepathy and telekinesis of all Pernese.
Mentally	Open, honest, and matter-of-fact, Meldioth is not one for intrigue. He's sensible; he knows what needs to be done and if he's not doing it himself, you can be sure someone else is. Actually quite good at organizing, that way - he'll inform you what you're supposed to be doing and depart in full confidence that you will, giving you no time in which to argue, should you have it in mind. Foreign concepts come slowly to him, but he's quite good at teaching. His attention span is better than that of most of old-world ancestry. The picture of the typical, reliable conforming Pernese ceased to fit when Meldioth decided that he wasn't bonding. No, nor wandering off traumatized to die miserable and alone, thank you. He can take care of himself.
Quote	"Don't argue. It doesn't suit you."
History	That he would live someweyr other than Ryslen was never really a question for Meldioth, any more than his decision not to bond at his hatching. Maybe it was this that attracted him to Naphredeari; at any rate, when the Abrian delegation returned to their Nidus, Meldioth was with them. He's growing up with Abri's own fledglings.

Reviewer's Notes:

Thank Rindel-Syaess for Meldioth's form - the fledgling in question, Rindel tells me, didn't see the need. Whether he meant the need to fill out a transfer form in the interests of record-completeness or merely the need for general literacy at all, I didn't hear. From what Rindel said it's probably safe to assume both - good thing I picked his application up rather than Kenina.
