physical description:N'huel is small and wiry, he'll never grow taller than his five foot seven, and is slim as well. But do not doubt the strength behind his smallness. He is quick, agile, and flexible. He moves with a noticeable grace, almost feline in character. His skin is dark, naturally olive toned and a little tanned by the sun. His hair is raven black, thick and slightly wavy. Its about shoulder length but ofter held back in a short runner tail. His pale green eyes, reminiscent of a feline's, are striking against his raptorial features. He is not a particularly handsome man, though his sensuous lips are the envy of many women, but he seems to have a sort of charisma about him. He favors loose fitting clothes after the manner of a sailor in the colors of black and green and silver jewelry of the ornate variety if he can afford it. He has three piercings in his right ear and one in his left.
personality:N'huel is an intense and very self-contained person. He is intelligent, perhaps too clever, some might say, but he rarely speaks his ideas unless they are asked for. He enjoys solitude and study more than social events, and even with the few friends he does have, he prefers quiet companionship to drinking and dancing. Despite mild antisocial tendencies, he has a gift for compassion and empathy, he can always see the other side's viewpoint, and for this reason does not often engage in argument. He will always give help if it is needed and protect those weaker than himself and he is loyal to his few friends unto death. But like many men, he rarely asks for help when he needs it and would rather suffer in silence.
N'huel truly believes himself to be a sort of tainted and cursed person, or at lest he did before his Impression. Inarith is working very hard to cure him of this with limited success. N'huel does like women, but he doesn't tend to be in very many relationships because he isn't one to make the first move, or even the second or third one, and he's often oblivious to flirting. But the right woman would find an extremely caring and gentles lover, if not very good with expressing affection in words. But his true love is music, and N'huel is a very talented musician, being able to say with his lute, harp, or reed pipe more than most people could ever express with words.
history:N'huel's history is a tangled one. His mother was the first Lady Holder of Tuath Hold, but her husband was controlling and abusive, and being from a prominent Trader family, she was quite used to her freedom. So one day she left her husband and baby son and never came back. Instead she boarded a ship, intending to go to Azure Isle, but instead, she fell in love with one of the sailors and moved to his home at Waverunner Seahold, where soon after she gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Unfortunately, she died a few days. Jahuel never forgave his son for that. He was not cruel to the boy, precisely, but he showed him little affection when he was young and spent most of his time at sea, leaving him in the indifferent care of an aunt.
When he was young, Nahuel was allowed to run wild. He grew up in the docks, learning to swim almost as soon as he could walk. By the time he was five Turns of age he could fish and climb the highest rigging, as well as less savory skills such as pick pocketing. He might have ended up as an excellent thief. But then something happened that changed his life. One day on the docks, he heard an old man playing a sea shanty on the reed pipes. The young boy was entranced and begged the man to play more. Bemused, the man gave Nahuel the pipes as a gift. In just a few months, Nahuel could play almost as well as the local harper. People began to take notice, but it was several turns before Nahuel's father did.
By this time though, some of Jahuel's bitterness had begun to fade and he saw his son with new eyes. And he realized he wanted a better life for his son than the dangerous one he lived. So, he bought his son a gitar. Eight year old Nahuel was ecstatic. He began taking lessons from the local harper and the man was frankly impressed by what he saw. So when the boy was ten, he petitioned Harper Hall to take him early, as a special case. After hearing Nahuel play, they agreed.
Though the structure of his new life chafed him somewhat, he enjoyed his studies at Harper Hall and he learned very quickly. The masters began to take notice. But they also noticed that he had some less than usual skills as well, and he was picked to do 'special' missions for the Masterharper, as well as continuing with his normal lessons. His master insisted he acquire a firelizard so he bought an egg that hatched into black Feralas. He made journeyman at 17, and he began to travel more widely for the Masterharper, and that was how he was caught at age 19
Meaning, Lord Holder Haidalon saw him, and he unfortunately resembled his mother to an uncanny degree, plus he was also wearing her ring on a chain around his neck.. So the angry Holder accused him of stealing and locked him up, intending to interrogate him about the whereabouts of his mother. But he neglected to account for Haidar. The boy might be arrogant and horribly self-righteous but he was still a good person, and when he found out that his father was holding his half-brother on spurious charges and intended to beat answers out of him, he decided to rescue Nahuel.
Nahuel was quite grateful and high-tailed it out of Tuath as fast as he could get. However Haidar wasn't so lucky. His father disowned him for what he'd done and sent him packing with nothing but the clothes on his back. Of course, Nahuel heard about it and turned back to see if Haidar needed any help and it was lucky he did. The boy had no idea how to survive in the wild and was near to death with dehydration and exposure as well as a broken wrist. Nahuel managed to get him moving again, but they were both happy to be found by the Searhdragon who brought them both to the weyr as Candidates. the Masterharper was a bit annoyed to lose his favorite student but Nahuel agreed to continue his work as much as possible after his Impression, as the Weyrsinger if he could.
Despite an auspicious start, Haidar and Nahuel could barely tolerate each other, as Haifar was stuffy and arrogant, so Nahuel was doubly glad when he Impressed white Indrath and his insufferable brother didn't manage anything.

Shapeshift Egg -white Inarith FFFFFF
Inari is the Japanese deity of rice who is sometimes described as male and other female. She is also associated with foxes, and the shapeshifting fox-spirits the kitsune are her messengers and avatars.
From far away, Inarith will appear to be as brilliantly white as a fresh snowfall. But up close his hide shines and scintillates with every dragons color, almost like his hide is made out of millions of tiny prisms. He is small, smaller even than the smallest green, at just nineteen feet from nose to tail-tip, but he is strong and his wings are very large and wide. He’s extremely agile in the air, though not much in the way of endurance despite his willingness.
Inarith is intelligent and playful. He has a mischievous bent that he will use to take people down a notch when they need it. He has a slightly secretive nature, but he’s not a malicious sort, he just enjoys his privacy, and gets a little kick about keeping people guessing. Like all whites, he has an uncanny ability to know exactly when he is in time, and this may get him into trouble or lead him on some wild adventures. Although he is clearly a healthy male, he will never show an interest in females outside of friendship.
This dragon will be an extremely loyal friend and always willing to help those who’ve helped him. He never forgets a debt. He has a strong sense of honor and duty and will always try to do what’s right. The only bad thing about Inarith is that he loves food and will even be wanting to try human food just for the joy of tasting something different. If he was a human he’d be an excellent chef, but as a dragon, he’ll have to get a lot of exercise or soon get fat. Luckily, he’ll be an eager Threadfighter.

description:Feralas is a smoky black firelizard with a faint black on black spot and rosette pattern like a wild feline's. He's a bit on the small side, and like his master is lean but full of wiry strength. He's intelligent and quiet but fairly obedient. He does have a somewhat sneaky side though and N;huel is constantly having to return his pilfered objects.
