Shades of a Night Stained Glass Egg
At first glance, this egg seems as dark as the sands it lays upon. It's easily overlooked, seeming nothing special beside its brighter, more vibrant clutchmates. Those daring to give it a closer inspection are in for a rare treat though, for as light falls across this dark surface gentle colors are revealed, iridescent blues and deep violets that intersect with dark, blackish seams. Those panels — for indeed they seem almost as fragile as pieced-together glass — seem to take on different appearances as the light changes; one time bright, another muted, once as blue as deep ocean, the next a ripple of dusky shades. The egg sits nestled a bit away from the others, almost as though forgotten.
Hatch Message
The Shades of a Night Stained Glass Egg finally gives one last convulsion, then as the life within flexes her muscles, it breaks at one end and a green dragonet pulls herself out of the cocoon the rest of her egg now resembles.
Hatchling Description
As if each step is carefully calculated beforehand, she moves with nothing less than grace and fluidity. Every gesture and sound she makes is precise, ladylike, and with a sweet honesty that may leave some to just smile in her presence. Her dominant color is a very dark forest green. Many dragons are lighter across their underbellies but not her. Her underside is the deep green of the jungle trees at night. The color lightens over her shoulders to a forest green streaked with lighter patches of bright, true green like the rays of twilight coming through the branches. The color lightens out over her wingsails to a dusty sage at their end. She has a willowy build; her body is lean and looks long. Her wings match her frame with a thin, almost frail look to them, but strength underlies a body that could otherwise be called fragile. Her straps have been dyed the deepest hues of black, certainly offsetting the coloring of her hide. The workmanship of the leather is exceptional, showing that her rider takes great care of her appearance and the way she is perceived. The straps themselves need to be replaced when they get too worn, but each time they are changed a new design has been worked into the leather. This time around, it's a vine motif, set with perfectly spaced ivy leaves that twist and wrap around one another appearing much like at any moment they could spring forth to some other surface and spread wildly
Public Impression Message
The Twilight Chrysalis Green Dragonet slips through the chaos that surrounds her, plucked out of her old life by the siren of her chosen lifemate's thoughts. With a precise settling at his feet, presenting herself to him, she looks up into her lifemate's eyes adoringly.
Private Impression Message
With a sudden realization, there is the thought that your life has been forever bound to another, in a way that only death may part. The graceful green's thoughts intertwine with yours in very intimate ways. You may be the teacher, but in the end, she may wind up teaching you a thing or two. For now, she accepts your guidance. « Z'on, we are together. » Her mindvoice is both prim and proper, yet you can also sense that she can be cruder, more earthy, if she feels like it. For you, however, she is nothing more than the lady you know she can be. « My name is Belarith. » And that is enough for now.
Physicalities
Personality
She's curious about everything in life and wants nothing more than to learn it all. Every new experience will be wonderful and something to tell you all about for just as long as she remembers. Her first flight will be a long awaited and much cherished opportunity. « Did you see me soar? I was dancing with the wind. I could have danced all night. Well, maybe Madieth was right to make me come down. » Grace is something that is grown into, and her early endeavors might be a bit clumsy. But Belauryth will never give up. « Practice makes perfect, after all. » She'll remind you, on both of your performances, though she'll never be above taking a bit of free time to sun or play when she can get it.
As Belauryth grows things will get easier for her. By the time she's grown, Belauryth will exhibit grace and elegance, when she chooses to. By turns she will be a perfect lady or quite down to earth. Her energy and zest for living will be nearly ever present. The one thing that will never change will be Belauryth's love for you. No matter what happens in your life she will be there to support you. « I love you. Nothing can be too wrong as long as I love you. We'll always be together and so everything will be all right. » She'll tell you confidently. Male dragons will be of definite interest to her. Eventually she may choose a favorite among them, except for flights when all bets are off.
When proddy, Belauryth will be nothing if not the perfect little lady. She will exhibit such grace that few of the males will be good enough to be lavished with her full attention, though she'll be polite to all of them. « Did you see Ibrith? » She might ask. « Isn't he just the most perfect blue ever? Why, I should just flick my tail at his nose and let him know how wonderful he is. » All her preferences may vanish for the flight itself. All that matters is finding the one that can pair her perfectly in her dance. And dance through the sky she will. Her flights will be acrobatic, with feats that might scare you, if you weren't so deeply involved in her passion.
Belauryth will sail through her first time fighting Thread with so much grace and ease one might think she'd done it a hundred times before. Any clumsiness of weyrlinghood behind her, Belauryth will be a stable green in fall. Though she might not have the endurance of the big dragons, she'll be quick and agile. While she might be cautious, she will never be afraid of Thread. After all, even the pain of scoring will be quickly forgotten.

Inspirations
Belauryth is Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady. As Eliza, she played a role of a playful and adoring woman who was then turned into a lady, until she discovered who she really was and who she wanted to be. Then, she, like you, chose her own path. Belauryth's name combines letters from Eliza and Audrey, and includes your preferences for a B and a Y, creating something that's quite as elegant as she is. Belauryth, much like her rolemodel, is by nature both graceful and irrepressible, and she's all yours! Brees came up with her personality and descs, and Brees, Reye, and Kyrola teamed up on her name. Kyrola and D'zel teamed up on the hatching-name, starting from the original suggestion from Brees.
Belarith originally hatched on PernMUSH in the early 2000's.
