North: Early Spring | South: Early Autumn −1.9 C to 4.7 C | 20.0 C to 29.0 Spring has sprung, with the snow slowly melting in much of the North, creating mushy grounds and greyish, icy snow piles that are doing their best to melt. In comparison, Ista finds itself naturally warmer, (~10C / 50) and many people who can find rides are making their way to the Island to spend some time in warmth and sunshine, away from the lingering touch of winter. Katila is beginning to cool down to more reasonable temperature, but is no less muggy and uncomfortable to those who are not used to the seasons. It is still a good place to escape to when seeking a warm day or a nice swim at the lake, though. The Red Star can be seen by those who choose to see it, causing no shortage of whispers that Thread will return - and just as much dismissal from those who do not believe. After all, it's been so long, surely it is no longer a threat! Weyrleaders are, regardless, beginning to put together wings in their Weyrs, if only to keep troublesome and bored riders busy.

As the month progresses, more and more snow will fall, with frequent blizzard-like storms towards the very end of the month. Telgar and Fort will in particular become burried under mountains of snow, while Ista is sunjected to frequent icy rainstorms, and heavy winds coming in from across the ocean.

Its cast the entire sooty Isle into a sombre and depressed mood. Alongside the rain, the weather is muggy and while not hot, is not particularly cool, either. The rest of Northern Pern is getting their usual weather, though they, too, have been called to action following the wildfires that savaged Ista. Many individuals who called Ista Island home have been relocated not just to Ista Weyr, Ista Hold or Sea Cliff Hold, but also to other areas of Pern, whether with family or friends.

North: Late Summer | South: Late Winter 17.4 to 25.5 C | 10.8 C to 23.2 C Ista is still unseasonably warm - 37 to 45 C - has resulted in an incredibly dry summer, with little to no rain. This was climaxed by a dry thunderstorm, the results of which caused three fires to start across the Island on the 24.07.739 in the early morning hours. While the results of this are yet to be played out, the events will no doubt leave more than just the scarring of the land.

North: Mid Summer | South: Mid Winter 18.0 to 26.6 C | 10.2 C to 21.9 C Ista is still unseasonably warm, with average weather being in the 37 to 45 C range, making it now a more than slightly undesirable escape for the rest of the Northern population from the more enjoyable early summer weather. There has been very little in the way of rain, though the coastal areas are no stranger to the salty wind. Ista's limited farmlands and fields are dry and dusty, with golden straw instead of grass where there is any growth at all. Meanwhile, the rest of the Northern areas are still getting a lot of evening rain and the occasional thunderstorms, which cools down the populus and allows them to sleep easily without sweating their brains out like the Istans.

There has been very little in the way of rain, though the coastal areas are no stranger to the salty wind. Meanwhile, the rest of the Northern areas are getting a lot of rain, thunderstorms, and cloudy days. Grass is growing, flowers flowering, and baby animals popping up all over the place! Yay spring!

North: Late Autumn | South: Late Spring Autumn is coming to an end, with the days slowly becoming shorter still, with early nights and late mornings. The temperature is getting very cool, with jackets being more required, but it has yet to actually snow. Despite this, it is often raining and miserable. The Southern contient is in full bloom, with flowers coming to life in the grasses and on the trees. The skies are bright blue with fluffy clouds, and occassional sunshowers bringing a dampness to the day. The nights are still crisp, but not cold. The ground is starting to dry up as water is absorbed by the blooming flora. North: Mid Autumn | South: Mid Spring Autumn is in full tilt, with the leaves a shocking array of orange and red, and more of them on the ground than on the trees. The skies are often a clear and crisp blue, with a cool breeze flowing, shifting the leaves and sending them scattering. Rain is not common, but when it does roll in the skies are dark like night come early, and thunderstorms are not uncommon, though they don't last for long and the amount of rain that falls isn't too heavy.

The skies are bright blue with fluffy clouds, and occassional sunshowers bringing a dampness to the day. The nights are still crisp, but not cold. The ground is starting to dry up as water is absorbed by the blooming flora. North: Start Autumn | South: Start Spring Nothern regions are entering into Autumn, with the trees beginning to change to their reds and oranges, while the air is beginning to feel more crips. There are still more warm days than cool, and the nights are mostly warm enough for light bedding still. Rain has faded away and most days are clear and bright. The Southern contient finds itself heading into spring, with rain and flowers vying for attention. The ground is often muddy and squishy, while the skies are either bright and blue, or overcast wtih fluffy clouds. North: End Summer | South: End Winter Summer is winding to an end in the Northern hemisphere, with the weather slowly cooling and the trees beginning to turn their leaves. The days are still long and bright, but the sun is beginning to lose some of its strength. The coastal Weyrs are falling victim to coastal storms, strong winds and heavy rains with thunder and lightening. The more inbound Weyrs and Holds find themselves drier, not getting nearly as much rain or storms, they find themselves on the end of a long drought. North: Mid Summer | South: Mid Winter Summer is in full spring in the Nothern hemisphere, with the bulk of each day being unbearbly hot, followed by vicious thunderstorms and heavy humidity in the evenings and at night. The coastal areas are experiencing monsoon like weather, and spend a lot of their time locked away in Hold, Hall or Weyr. The more inner locations find themselves faced with more dry heat during the day, and horrible humidity in the evening and at night while the thunderstorms rage. |

Get those eager young men and women out there and grow them so we can match them with their perfect lifemate when the new year rolls around and one of our lovely golds throws a clutch on the Sands -- At this point in time, the Weyrs are sharing Candidates, so your Candidate can be Searched by any Weyr, and transfer to the one holding the PC clutch! History is almost complete, and the profile has been re-coded. All new characters will need to go onto the new profile, but all old can keep their current! We'll begin advertising properly over the next couple of weeks, once the history has been completed, and probably after the weekend of the 8th and 9th, because that is when ThistleProse is having her birthday. We officially have two layouts! You can post here with any issues you find, or request any changes! If you find any bugs or issues, plese repot them here, and we will do our best to fix them in a timely manner. |

Appearance
![[Image: 1490700602788850.jpg]](http://img.olaserragaucha.com.br/entretenimento/gente/1490700602788850.jpg)
Hair: Tala has wavy light brown hair that she keeps cut above the shoulder. It lightens significantly in the summer and sun. It curls more strongly in the humidity.
Height: 5'4"
General Appearance: Tala has a soft, oval shaped face with a small cleft in her chin. Her skin is middling fair with no freckles to speak of. She's picked up a good number of small marks and scars over the years, but few serious or particularly noticeable ones. A large percentage of the scars are small, circular ones leftover from insect bites she couldn't leave alone. She also has stretch marks from her pregnancy. Her mouth is wide with pouty lips.
Her lifestyle has led her to be reasonably fit, but not overly muscular and she retains a fair amount of softness to her body. Tala's hands have managed to stay fairly smooth due to helping her aunt oil her dragon nearly her whole life, though basic work has kept them from being the hands of a noble. She keeps her nails short, as she tends to break them a lot and eventually decided to just keep them short all the time.
Dressing Style: Practicality is the main role for clothing in Tala's view. It doesn't have to be pretty or well done if it works. She generally wears pants for this reason. Most of her clothes are fairly loose fitting. Tala adores soft fabrics, but they aren't 'necessary' so she often forgoes them.
Personality
![[Image: 620full-bruna-linzmeyer.jpg]](http://iv1.lisimg.com/image/6243015/620full-bruna-linzmeyer.jpg)
Family means everything to Tala. She had only her aunt for some time, and R'mar clung desperately to her niece in the wake of the Plague and her sister's death. Thus, Tala was taught at a young age that family is important. This idea was only compounded by the fact she has no idea who her father was and her desire to have known her mother. She doesn't see fathers as necessary to raising a child, but it would be nice to know who he was - especially in a place like the Weyrs where she could easily sleep with a relative without knowing.
Habits/Mannerisms: Tala constantly plays with her hair. Twirling it around her finger, running her fingers through it, brushing it out of her face, you name it. She doesn't consciously play with her hair, but she can be seen doing it pretty much anytime her hands are unoccupied.
Opinions:
Threadfall Theory: Those who raised her believe it will come, and she's seen nothing to prove them wrong.
Stealing/Kidnapping: She was only 10 when it started and just accepted what she was told; that it was necessary.
Weryrleader S'kef: The only good thing he did was bring them North.
Firelizards: They're pretty cute, if a bit squeaky.
Women's loss of honourifics: How rude! Couldn't they have at least let the riders who already had honorifics keep them? She had no problems with not getting an honorific if she Impressed green like her aunt, but really, how would one shorten 'Tala' anyway?
Return North: Exciting, but she misses the Southern Continent. It's part of the reason she wanted to live in Ista when the two other Weyrs were opened.
Likes:
Being Outside: Tala spent much of her younger life outside, and she still loves it. As nice as civilization is, there's something special about being in nature.
Ryvala: Coming from a family that, due to having few living members, was very, very close, it's unsurprising that Tala loves her daughter fiercely.
Dragons: As a weyrbrat (sort of), dragons have always been a part of Tala's life. She loves the great beasts, and aspires to Impress one herself.
Dislikes:
Being Lonely: As a cheerful and friendly person, not being around others is not something Tala enjoys.
Deep Water: Tala is nervous around any water deeper than her waist after almost drowning at 13. Swimming is off the table, though baths are fine, and she will wade into water a little bit.
Being Useless: She has lived through lots of disasters she could do nothing about, such as firehead outbreaks, storms, and the Landslide, and she really dislikes not being able to act. It's part of the reason she always throws herself into helping however she can after disasters.
Strengths:
Bold: Tala is always ready to try new things and speak her mind.
Imaginative: She grew up in the wilds of the Southern Continent and Katila, which were not known for fancy children's toys. Tala was always excellent at making do, not just for fun as a child but also with practical things, like finding creative uses for old objects.
Positive: Nothing keeps Tala down for long, and she always thinks there is a chance to make things better.
Flaws:
Stubborn: While fairly easygoing, Tala has a stubborn streak that crops up when it involves things she really cares about.
Reckless: Tala doesn't always think things through completely, and will act on impulse more often than not. Consequences don't usually occur to her, which can be seen in her accidental pregnancy.
Easily Distracted: Interruptions cause no end of problems for Tala. If she's interrupted during a task, she either takes the new task and forgets all about the first one, or continues the first forgetting all about the second.

Children:
Ryvala [F] b.17.03.738 (Father: R'vi)
Background Story:
716 AL & Birth: Talara, who is pregnant, goes South to escape the Plague with her greenriding sister, R'mar (who had not been informed that her sister was pregnant, as Talara was worried R'mar would refuse to bring her South if she'd known). After 7 months on the Southern Continent, Talara gives birth to her first child. There are complications, and due to there being no trained healer and only her sister there, Talara dies within hours of her daughter's birth. R'mar names the child Tala, after her mother, and because she does not know the father's identity.
717 AL & 1 Turn: Despite have minimal child rearing experience and being alone in the wild, R'mar somehow manages to keep baby Tala alive, thought it is a near thing. It is mostly due to sheer determination and the assistance of green Delorianth that Tala survives her first year of life. R'mar managed to contact another group of Weyr refugees, a young brownrider, his mother, and younger sister. The rider's mother gives some assistance to R'mar in caring for Tala, though the riders are careful their dragons never get anywhere near each other.
718 AL & 2 Turns: Tala is a thankfully quiet baby, and is perfectly content to stay where she is placed and watch the world around her. She is easily entertained, and R'mar can simply give her something to play with and know she'll be occupied for a good long time. R'mar picks up parenting skills and survival skills like a boss.
719 AL & 3 Turns: R'mar looses contact with the other group. She never learns what happened to them. However, the brownrider's mother got her through Tala's first few years and taught her enough to keep raising Tala alone.
720 AL & 4 Turns: Nirinath's Call goes out, and R'mar immediately joins the other riders. She is ecstatic at the idea of help raising Tala, as well as more interaction in general. Tala, for her part, is excited by all the action and has playmates for the first time in her short life. She quickly makes friends, as Tala has no fear of introducing herself to new people and declaring them friends.
721 AL & 5 Turns: Tala and R'mar avoid falling ill during the firehead outbreak, with R'mar being overly protective of her only remaining family and connection to her sister.
722 - 724 AL & 6-8 Turns: The discontent and desire to return North does not touch Tala, as she has no idea what North is like at all and R'mar feels no need to return; there's nothing for the greenrider there but memories. The young girl continues to play and make friends in the creche.
725 AL & 9 Turns: The storm destroys the house R'mar and Tala shared with another greenrider, and they spend the next few months helping rebuild.
727 AL & 11 Turns: Nirinath Rises, and Tala is extremely excited at the idea of baby dragons. This is when her desire to have a dragon of her own truly develops.
729 AL & 13 Turns: Tala almost drowns while swimming, causing a great deal of distress for her aunt and friends who were swimming with her and creating her fear of deep water.
731 AL & 15 Turns: D'ren's new rule about women who wish to Stand for fighting dragons need to have at least one child is established. Tala is somewhat concerned about this, as at 15 the idea of having a child doesn't particularly appeal to her.
733 AL & 17 Turns: Women's honorifics are revoked. R'mar is livid, and pronounces that she'll only go back to Aramara if or when Delorianth is gone. Tala has no desire to anger her aunt, and continues to use her honorific name in private. In public, she tends to use 'Ramara' which sounds a bit like a nickname.
734 AL & 18 Turns: The Landslide happens. Delorianth is gravely injured protecting R'mar/Aramara and Tala in their hut. She survives, but her left hind leg is mangled and while she keeps the leg it is nearly useless. Tala spends the time after the Landslide helping Aramara/R'mar care for Delorianth as she recovers, as well as volunteering her time with others who were injured.
735 AL & 19 Turns: The move North begins. R'mar/Aramara, due to Delorianth's now permanently crippled leg, decides to remain in Katila and officially 'retire' as an active dragonrider. Tala chooses to go North with the others. Though she misses R'mar/Aramara horribly, Tala has no desire to miss out on the adventure of moving North or the chance to Impress a dragon of her own.
736 AL & 20 Turns: Ista and Fort Weyrs are reopened, and Tala moves to Ista, the warmest of the Weyrs, as she misses the warmth of the Southern Continent.
737 AL & 21 Turns Tala starts 'experimenting' with sex once life started settling into more regular patterns after all the moving about and opening new Weyrs. She has good fun for a few months, before realizing she's pregnant. This leads to a bit of a panic for Tala, as she has to step down from being a Candidate for a while, but she ultimately keeps the pregnancy.
738 AL & 22 Turns: Early in the Turn her child, a girl she names Ryvala following the usual Pernese tradition of combining the parents' names. She feels compelled to do so, as she still has no idea who her father is and likely never will, and she wants her daughter to know who her family is. By the end of the Turn, Ryvala is considered old enough for Tala to resume Standing.

Education
Education Details: Basic weyrbrat education. Tala has a great memory for random facts, so learning was easy for her. She spent a lot of time reading whatever she could get her hands on, which honestly wasn't much in Katila.
RP Sample
That afternoon had been cleared of any chores or obligations, so Tala had wrapped Ryvala up in a shawl, tied it around her chest to carry her easier, and set out from the creche into the Weyr bowl. She intended to take a leisurely walk down to the lake and back, give Ryvala some sun and air. The weather had been warm and clear of rain for the past week, and the day looked to be no different, so Tala had no worries about getting herself and her baby rained on.
Within twenty minutes Ryvala had fallen asleep, rocked by the movement of Tala walking and the warmth of the sun. Tala smiled fondly at her and continued walking. She hadn't been planning on Ryvala, and had been a bit disappointed at having to step down as a Candidate for a while, but ultimately she was worth it. And, with any luck, Tala wouldn't be in the Candidate barracks for much longer and her daughter could move in with her instead of living in the creche full time. Well, after she graduated from being a weyrling, but still. The sooner she Impressed, the sooner she could keep Ryvala with her.
After a while she reached the lakeside. Sitting down on the sand a few feet from the water Tala carefully unwrapped the shawl holding Ryvala against her and sat the girl down on her lap. Thankfully, she'd managed to keep from waking her. Tala gazed out over the water, twirling a lock of hair around a finger in thought. It would be much easier to reach the lake on dragonback, but Tala in many ways preferred walking; She was pretty sure she'd always have to fly there once she had a dragon, but maybe whoever she Impressed would be amenable to her walking. Or not. Tala smiled, thinking of all the dragons she knew. Delorianth would have put up with it but snarked and complained constantly. Most of the others would have outright refused. Maybe she'd get lucky, and whatever hatchling that was destined for her would understand why she liked walking so much. Or maybe she'd fall in love with flying. Who knew?
Lost in thought about her future dragon, Tala sat by the lake idly stroking her daughter's hair for a good hour before she was finally interrupted.
