Dorothy

STATS
Name: Dorothy
Age: 23 (26 at time of candidacy)
Gender: Female
Description: Dorothy has blonde hair, that she usually keeps in ponytails, and blue eyes. Most noticeable about her is her size. She's been called fatso, tub-o-lard and more derogative names all her life. Despite her body she has a kind of easy-going charm around her that is well received by other people. After a rigorous exercise regime she managed to lose a lot of weight and the more active lifestyle in the Dragonry is keeping it off.
Character: Dorothy often smiles and is very friendly and generous. But behind the laughing face she feels isolated from the rest of humanity. There aren't many people around her who have the same stature as her so she was isolated because of her size. As a consequence Dorothy became socially withdrawn and shy. She likes to avoid any social contact that could hurt her and keeps contact only with a select group of friends that have earned her trust. Having that trust betrayed by one of them was the reason for Dorothy to come to the clinic and work on herself.
Hobbies: Baking and cooking, watching soaps.

Dorothy impressed at Refugium's Myrmex 001 Clutch. 

HATCHING
Across the Refugium candidate beepers lit up to announce the clutches' readiness. Halls and elevators cleared to allow easy access to the subterranean biome as the candidates flooded in - a much larger group that the Refugium had ever seen before, but after all, there were a great many eggs. Many of which appeared to be sporting... knitted caps? A great deal many of them, which meant someone here had been rather busy. Even now Gleam's drones were adjusting the hats on a few eggs, tugging them snugly over their slimy carapaces.
Her warrior paced the length of the cavern, overseeing the placement of foodstuffs in various piles within easy reach of the hatchlings. Gleam had been insistent that the grubblings would be ravenous and if they weren't given enough to fill their bellies, they'd turn their attention on anything else that might fit in their mouths. Best to have well stocked larders. The cave stank of it, piles o fruit and grain, vegetables that seemed a little off, meat piled high, and buckets of fat feeder worms Gleam said would be particularly favored. A few of Janos City's restaurants had donated frozen stuffs to help sate the oncoming hoard of hatchlings.
Kutoth and Dr. Krum made their way to the far end of the clutching cavern, nearest the queen who watched them both with gleaming, black eyes.
:: There will be many queens. ::
"You can tell what they are inside the eggs?" asked Dr. Krum.
:: No. We need queens so there will be queens. :: She turned away from them, antennae-ears flicking upward. :: They are coming. ::
The collective milling of the candidates dimmed to silence as a wet ripping sound announced the first hatching. And then, chaos began.

Unlike her companions, Dorothy kept a little out of the main circle, trepidation making her fidget in place. Would any of these creatures like her?
She needn't have worried. A pale yellow nectar headed toward her with its head held high, and behind it, a larger soil in a myriad of browns.
:: We think you're perfect:: said Beauty, nuzzling Dorothy's hand.
:: And we'll always think that, no matter what :: Beast agreed.

BEAUTY & BEAST

GROWING
Dorothy took out the plate of cookies she'd baked and gave treats to Beauty and Beast. 
:: They are delicious :: Beast said.
"You think everything I make is perfect." Dorothy smiled, "But thank you."
:: We can eat just about anyhting :: Beauty said, :: But your treats are the best ::
"You guys are so wonderful for my self-confidence." Dorothy grinned.
In fact Dorothy felt like she'd finally blossomed. It wasn't just about appearances, caring for others was her real calling. Something she'd been happy to do even before she'd changed her appearance. With the new-found confidence she'd even had the courage to reach out to the instructors they'd left behind on Lantessama. And to be more specific, she'd been exchanging mail with Gavin, talking about books and movies they liked and the joys of raising dragons. In his last letter he'd even hinted that he might be coming to see her. She could barely contain her excitement. What if it was just her who felt a romantic connection though? Maybe she shoudl'nt hope for more.
:: If he doesn't I'll just have to make him see the light :: Beast assured her.
:: And he writes a lot, doesn't he? Doesn't that mean he likes you? :: Beauty mused.
"We'll see when he visits." Dorothy concluded the conversation, "Now take another cookie. You've got to grow some more."

ADULT
Beauty emerged first with a tiny flutter of it's pink-coloured wings. A sudden flock of pollen appeared and it laughed
:: Dorothy look what I made! :: it called and beamed with pride.
"I guess you'd be a real asset at the fruit farms." Dorothy complimented, "And I'm not allergic!"
Beast emerged... a beast of a warrior class with brown skin, dark brown ings and ferocious teeth. But remembering her little romantic grub Dorothy wasn't frightened. In stead she stood in wonder and thought how appropriate his name had been.
:: I'll make the earth move :: he said, :: or wait, You rock my world? ::
Dorothy couldn't help but snicker at his puzzled look. "Have you been hanging out with Act Natrual lately? Your pupa's were right next to each other." she grinned.
:: But I can for real! ::
"I believe you, but let's not try that in the city."
