Niamhyth

*~* Lyrica's Cinderella at the Ball Green Niamhyth!*~*
London Eye Egg

Smoggy black encrusts the smoke-choked browns that base this egg, and sends its spidery tendrils aloft to web the cloudy crest with urbanely urban precision. That pattern wheels about the apex, lent the illusion of motion by the rippling azure that ribbons the circumference, and runs rogue through the inornate gloom that permeates this shell's polluted shades.

Hatching Message
London Eye Egg shakes off serene, ashen fog, pieces falling and tumbling to the ground; in a blink it is over, and as if by a shake of a wand, what was grey and distant sprouts wings, rags turning to riches as the beautiful and mysterious stranger makes her debut.
Cinderella at the Ball Green Dragonet
Bright splashes of mint crown delicate headknobs, entwining and descending, adorning neckridges in gay ribbons of colour. Underlying hide is dressed in a flowing gown of forest hues, awash in satiny splendour. Ethereal shades of pearlized mist etch fine lines over her foresails, creating a web of glistening dew, culminating in silvered talons. Spindly legs are at a contrast to seemingly oversized wings: vapor descends across her limbs, whirling through frothy sea foam and dissolved aquamarine, to eventually create slippers of verdant greenery.
Public Impression Message
As if at the peal of a bell, Cinderella at the Ball Green stops her rushing, her dancing, her posing and prancing. It's time to go home. She's found her shoe cum Lifemate. Without a second look, she entwines herself around Lyrica, proclaiming to all that they are one, to live happily ever after.
Personal Impression Message
Soothing greens mist your vision, slowly coalescing into the same ethereal vapor that coats her slender hide. The dreamy and tranquil touches of pine-tea's steamy scent blur away the heat and intensity of the sands as She touches your mind and opens her soul. << I am Niamhyth, >> she offers with sisterly love. << You fit, Lyrica, and you always have. Be mine! >>

Name Inspiration
Niamhyth! What started as a simple mention of the fact that you like Celtic mythology started a great name game between Tai - who loves Celtic mythology! - and Salea. We went through Abnoba, Artio, and finally settled on the idea of Niamh, the Celtic/Irish goddess of beauty and brightness, who helps heroes at their death. We puttered with Niamyth and Nihamyth, but... Niamh. So yummy. We really loved the "mh" appeal of the name, as well as its shortness and breathiness at the end. Sums up Nia herself, don't it? Breathy, halting... yum. So it's Nee-amh-EETH - and don't forget that little expulsion of air right there after the m. Mhhhh.

The London Eye is a giant Ferris Wheel, set up on the south bank of the Thames in order to give its passengers fabulous views of London.

Description Inspiration

From smoggy black rises something very, very different. Bright. Crisp. Ever so green. When we thought "dragon for Lyrica", we thought of spring, but not the drawn out, long, smoldering-into-summer spring. More of a double whammy, winter-to-blossom type green. Out walking today, I thought of the smell of fresh green grass, and... Lyri Oooh.Spring, and all the good (and bad, too!) things that come with it are contained in this slender little dragon.

Theme

At the start, we were working with a modern version of Cinderella. Street smart, savvy, the cheerleader who still has time to do the dishes. Very preppy, very pretty, but not especially worried about her looks or superficial qualities. This changed into the reality of Niamhyth. We wanted her to be a spectacular-looking dragon, and chose the moment when Cinderella enters the Ball as our starting point: Niamhyth should make everyone gasp... gape... gawk! At this time of year, many students are getting ready for their first prom or formal, and so, if you can imagine a dragon wearing a forest green satin off-the-shoulder ball gown, with a matching silver shawl, you're picturing Niamhyth. And she doesn't even have to get her hair done!

Mind Voice

Niamhyth does not have a peppermint-sharp mindvoice, or even one with zing. If you've ever tasted pine tea, then you can imagine the luscious, tantalizing, taste, translated to a dragon mindvoice, with a pinch of sage's scent and color frosting the edges here and there, and the same silver that mists her hide sparkling up to delicately accent each eloquently thought-out word. She's definitely not a soprano - more like Marilyn Monroe. Beautiful, pure - if a dragon could sing she'd be an alto. Not quite husky-dusky-sultry, but not entirely innocent, either. She can purr seductively if need be, at least. And not childish, but very, very thoughtful, questioning without apprehension: << Why, Lyri? I'm afraid I don't understand. >>. She has a high vocabulary for a dragon - whip out those thesauruses and ask people what the heck she's talking about! - but can be quite succinct. << Indubitably, Lyri. >>

Physicality

Her body-scent is like freshly cut grass, and she wears the scent proudly...
