Name: Theratrial Za'Anisonna but he prefers to be called Thera
Age: 240 human years
Height:5'7
Personality: Thera is a laid back and playful elf that enjoys nothing more than the sensation of flying through the heavens. He's quick to laugh and extremely confident but despite his rather wild behavior is actually quite intelligent and well informed. However, Thera is nothing like that when he's on the ground. Without his dragon, Thera is silent and highly unsure of himself. He disguises this by acting very serious, the image of an overly dedicated knight.
History: Thera comes from a long knight of Dragon Riders, descended of the very first if the boasting his lineage is genuinely true (a common enough claim). It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he grew up on dragon back as both of his parents were riders. Furthermore, Thera showed a high aptitude with both dragons and flying from a very young age and currently holds the record for the youngest elf to partner with a dragon. His knight training was actually delayed for his age to properly catch up.
Thera gained his battle roughly 80 years ago, during a time of great strife for the elves. While he was luckier than some in the fact both his parents returned home...his father's dragon had been shot out from under him-an event that profoundly changed the man. In the years since as Thera trained as a knight and dragon rider, he's become increasingly alienated from his father. His ratings were flawless in all aspects involving dragons, but the moment Thera has to train or perform without a dragon, his scores plummet. This encourages most to call him something of a heretical genius since most learn in the other direction. However, this leaves his overall ranking as a Knight embarrassingly low to his family further stressing an already suffering family.
Equipment: Due to his knight training, Thera is familiar with most sword, the bow and the lance. Personally, he just carries the bow and arrow and a sword at his hip. He doesn't even bother with the saddle when riding his dragon, but his knightly duties require he carry one- which he does in pieces. Beyond that he merely carries the usual weekly rations afforded to knights one the wing. He prefers to wear the light armor of the official uniform than the heavier formal wear.
Dragon: La'ney is Thera's dragon companion, best friend and more often than not his voice of reason. Whether she chose the elf at such a young age for her own reasons or due to something on Thera's end she has never said. Seeing Thera and La'ney one would be hard pressed to decide whether they act more like a couple or siblings, something she endlessly sasses Thera on (along with frequently telling him to grow up) but she does have his best interests at heart.
