Mathaira

My two dinosaur partners and I are based at the Romano hatchery but travel all over the island of Dinotopia., My full name is Eubha-Mathairachean, an ancient Celtic name meaning "source of life", but everyone just calls me Mathaira. I am a traveling hatchery worker (human), sort of a "dinosaur midwife". I have two saurian partners and we work together as a team: Thistlebud is an Ovinutrix (egg nurse) and Maia is a Maiasaurus (good mother lizard).

We are based at the Romano hatchery but travel all over the island, helping to care for unhatched eggs and hatchlings. We assist in escorting expectant dinosaur parents to a hatchery and also in escorting parents and their hatchlings from a hatchery back to their homes.

I am a native Dinotopia. Since my name is of ancient Celtic origin, I think my ancestors may have arrived on the island long ago. As for myself I was born on Dinotopia, and my earliest memories as a young child are of helping out in the hatchery...watching over the eggs...using puppets to help the hatchlings imprint the correct parent model...and helping to tend the hatchlings.
