Libelle of Lamb Weyr
Up on a mountain called Lamb, above the clouds, you will find Libelle. Born of a multi-race, her ancestors were named Dragon. She is called Lady Libelle of Lamb Weyr. Humans weren’t always a kind race, forcing her family into seclusion. The humans have their own tales of the Melungeon people. Stories that refer to people of multiple ethnicities. People who hid in the mountains until the pigment had faded from their progeny. The other part of the story, the untold, tells of a different species. Dragons hid away to dilute the traits that caused the humans to call them monsters. Lady Libelle is the 6th generation of her kind. Finally, after generations, they are able to walk among the humans with minimal glances. By no means does she look “human,” but more have become accepting. For others, her features can be muted in a dimly lit room. It’s difficult to note the remaining scales; horns are present, but they are accepted. She always looks presentable, horns shined, makeup and hair perfect, and wings neatly folded against her back. Do not be fooled, though. She is fiercely proud of her heritage. She has accepted herself and found others who are accepting of her kind; who allow her to be her true self. She is a dragon, she is human, she is Melungeon. She is Lady Libelle of Lamb Weyr.
