The Basics
Physical
Dark, thick, curly hair, cropped shorter than most and kept rather untidily, a sharp contrast to the pale cast of Lerato’s skin. A slight hint of a tan shades his complexion, one of the few pieces of evidence of the work that he does. Another would be the roughness of his hands, covered in calluses, especially his fingertips from playing various string instruments.
Dark eyes the color of pure dark chocolate, sparkle with hidden laughter at times, but can also contain fiery rage when one manages to upset him. They are set in a slightly angular yet round face, a hawk-like nose protruding, though not in a manner as to be comical. Rather, it puts emphasis on the seriousness of his personality, fitting his face as no other nose would. Bits of stubble dot his cheeks, though he is careful to shave every morning, preferring a smooth face.
Shorter than most, taller than some, his height is average. His weight too, is thinner than most, but not so thin that people might think he is malnourished. In truth, he merely does too many physical activities throughout the day to retain much body fat, giving him a lean figure.
Personality
A charming man, Lerato has a natural way with words and his smooth tongue has merely increased in his years of living in the Harper Hall. While he does enjoy the company of others and loves nothing more to flirt with both women and men, he does possess a serious side to him. If the need be he can remain cool and collected and make impartial judgments concerning arguments and the like. Still, he prefers to spend his time amongst people and does not mind being the focus of a conversation. In fact, he revels in the attention, especially if he has his harp in hand.
When it comes to something he loves, such as music, Lerato is passionate to a fault. He will go for days, submerged in his own world, not even stopping to eat or sleep. He would do anything if it meant music, which most people are unable to understand. He despises those who attempt to demean music or those who are lazy and slack off at all. It is those who often see his anger and when he is upset, they had better watch out. Though he may not mean to hurt someone, he can, either physically or emotionally.
History
Lerato is the result of of harper romance. His mother and father, both accomplished musicians had a bit too much to drink at one of the many Hall celebrations and woke up the next morning in bed together. His mother had wanted to have a child, having been at the age where a woman's biological clock starts ticking, and so rather than take the usual means to end a pregnancy, she chose to keep the baby.
Thus Lerato grew up in the Southern Harper Hall and was taught music at a young age. Though he was greatly skilled on the harp and gitar, his vocal talents were rather lacking. Though this meant that he could never become a harper, Lerato never grew to hate the Hall or music. Instead he simply perfected what he was good at which were the stringed instruments.
News of an upcoming clutch spread to the Hall and it wasn't long before a searchrider came to the Hall. Lerato was one of the boys chosen to stand, and though his mother was sad to see him leave, she knew that his potential future as a dragonrider was far better than if he were to stay at the Hall.
