Ariseth

Ariseth has been promised to Dianne since he hatched. Though this may seem strange by our standards, it is not uncommon in dragon society. Often, when two female dragons who are friends are of similar coloring, one of them will promise a hatchling to the other as a sign of friendship.

Ariseth is a rather well-spoken, but mild-mannered dragon. He lived through the rough period when his sister and mother fought almost daily, but never spoke up. For this, and for his being eager to be mated to Dianne, his mother's friend, Ariseth is still good in his mother's eyes. He has more of a bond with his father, however, and the two often like to bond while flying. With his mate, Dianne, he is honored. Dianne is an older dragon, with much experience and has already been mother to many hatchlings. In a human society, this might make one undesirable as a mate, but in a dragon society, it makes her a very good prospect, especially for a young, never-bred dragon such as Ariseth. He spends plenty of time with his mate, and the two have bonded tightly, with Ariseth trying to learn as much as he can about the world from his more experienced mate, and Dianne finding one who she feels comfortable telling more of her story to.
