[center] Name: Maria Jaya Gender: Female Age: 19 Race: Human Appearance: [img=https://31.media.tumblr.com/f4e767a3bbe4783adbd45f0a5e26e8a4/tumblr_n0em5a73IM1qgbm3so1_500.jpg] Personality: Maria is all but soft spoken, she goes with her gut and often makes mistakes for it. She sees mistakes as progress and enjoys the feeling she gets from things going right for her. She enjoys the company of others and is very heroic, if not stubborn and overconfident. She enjoys music and all things beautiful. She sees her Dragon as an older brother, someone she can look up to for help any time she needs it. She's also a bit of a hopeless romantic. Bio: There's not much to say about an orphaned human. She grew up with simple foster parents, waving them off with tear filled eyes as she made her way to the Dragon Academy. Of course, her first mission was to find a Dragon Companion. She spent weeks in a forest nearby the Academy, combing through the trees in search of something, anything. That was when she found Elián, who nearly killed her on their first encounter. He wasn't exactly always the kindest Dragon, or at least that's what everyone thought and told her. She'd heard rumors of this yellow dragon, the one who could not be tamed. Willing to try whatever she could, she began to sing to the dragon. Of course, it threw him off guard. Most tried to tame him through violent means, but that was not the case with Maria. She tried to calm him, wanting to know if he was okay. Now, the two are inseparable and the Academy has sent her on a quest with a few other riders. Other: [b]"There's nothing music cannot heal or convey. With the right amount of love and compassion, anything can be saved."[/b] Dragon's Name: Elián Personality: Soft and wise, Elián is very protective of Maria. His entire purpose is to stand behind her, her entire support. He has a bit of a short temper and doesn't take well to stupidity, from dragons or their riders. He, like Maria, has a love for music and.. well... Shiny things. It's not his fault, they call to him! Most would consider him brutish, but Maria often sees the fluffy cuddle bear behind his facade. She just hopes that others will see past his temper to see his immense kindness for all creatures.

It can burn as well as rip flesh.)[/center]
