Scout Pilot D'Rett

D'Rett is a massive Cerastean warrior who serves as a scout pilot, specializing as a skilled machinist in fixing and maintaining spacecraft. Described as a "gentle giant" and "beefcake," he's thicker and more barrel-chested than his nest-bonded partner L'Tarne, with silver-blonde hair, bold facial features, and slightly larger scales that give him an imposing physical presence.

Despite his intimidating size and warrior caste status, D'Rett has a thoughtful, pragmatic nature and serves as the steady anchor for his more impulsive companions - he's the "safe harbor" that protects and indulges L'Tarne and Chelsea's shenanigans.

Though he secretly shares L'Tarne's love of romantic comedies, D'Rett is more reserved and self-doubting, particularly about his lower caste status affecting their mating prospects.

His gentle demeanor, combined with his protective instincts and willingness to carry Chelsea on piggyback rides while patiently explaining ship mechanics, makes him the perfect counterbalance to L'Tarne's more outgoing personality. Like all Cerasteans, he has golden eyes with slit pupils, diamond-patterned scales, small horns, and a forked tongue.
