APPEARANCE
Mayet is a tired-looking lady. Her golden-amber eyes radiate weariness, and rarely does a smile ever quirk her lips. The rich, earthy scales that plate her body, however, are in pristine condition despite her age and weariness. This is a dragon who, miraculously, knows self-care. 
She adores adorning herself in white feathers, despite their tendency to become dirty. A cloak of these feathers covers the top half of both of her wings, and she wears a necklace with one large feather and a tail bangle sporting two smaller feathers. She also has a golden nose ring.
PERSONALITY
With a soft, mostly monotone voice, Mayet speaks when necessary. Serving as a judge in the palace requires more of an ear than a voice, anyway. Mayet is thoughtful and compassionate, though she always stands up for goodness and denounces wrongdoing. In no way is she afraid of doling out harsh punishments... she simply believes they're not necessary. Most of her sentences are relatively light, especially for first-time offenders; she wants to believe in the goodness of dragons. It's only after she's seen a repeat criminal about three times does she even consider getting more harsh. 
Her profession leaves her hearing much about the sorrows and perils of life, often leaving her feeling dejected and hopeless. Mayet's favorite ways of combating these feelings include visiting her siblings, vacationing in another town, gardening, or tending to her flock of birds. She also enjoys tea and reading. 
HISTORY
Mercifully, Mayet and her siblings were born a year prior to the end of the SandWing War of Succession. Her Bigwings--Ankh--was forever grateful that their group was never subjected to witnessing the horrors of the war that so many of the older dragons spoke of. Sometimes they mentioned catching the scent of burning flesh from distant battlefields... but Mayet remembered none of that. 
Mayet remembers the early training, the light sparring and instruction the yearlings were given by the slightly older sib groups. She wasn't ever that great at it. 
Mayet remembers more of the tranquil swamps, the inner reaches of the Mud Kingdom, where she and her siblings grew up together. She remembers watching the birds flit among the lush wetlands, the long-legged herons gracefully stalking through the grass. 
And she remembers the day the war ended, even if she was only about a year old, because it seemed like the cheers would never stop. There was laughter, there were bar songs, there was crying and mourning for the siblings who didn't make it this far. It's this first day of peace that Mayet perhaps remembers the most. Something felt balanced in this moment. 
From that day on, she knew quite firmly that she was never to have a military or fighting profession. Even if it meant having to leave her siblings. 
She went closer to the palace and slowly learned what little law there was in the Kingdom of Mud. And since then, she's remained there. She doesn't have much interest in taking a mate or having dragonets; she thinks maintaining her flock of birds is fulfilling enough. Sometimes she misses seeing her siblings, but they tend to swing around often and say hello. 
TRIVIA
*Mayet tends to a small flock of ducks. She has named each one and loves them all dearly.
*Though not a strict vegetarian, she often avoids eating meat if possible--especially if it's any kind of bird.
*She is based off of the Egyptian goddess (and concept) Ma'at (pronounced may-et), who/which signifies truth, justice, harmony, and balance.
