Kestra
Wingrider
Laneya Grace
Important Details
Original Name: Kestra
Pronounced: Kes-trah
Nicknames: Kes, Kessa, Kessie
Dragon Name: Tizalth
Dragon Pronounced: Tiz-alth
Dragon Colour: Green
Wing Assigned: N/A (Staff Choice? Mid-Altitude?)
Wing Rank: Wingrider
Primary Rank: Greenrider
Secondary Ranks: N/A
Place of Birth: Katila Weyr
Date of Birth: Mid-month 724.01 AL
Searched: N/A
Searched: (Weyrbrat, automatic Standing at 12/; Searched by blue Sondrith who convinced her into it)
Impression Age: 14, 739.05.28 AL
Physical Age: 15
Partner: N/A
Appearance
Eyes: Her eyes are startlingly pale hazel-green, sometimes more gold depending on the light. If you look closely, Kestra's eyes have gold and orange-gold towards and around the iris. Her eyes are slightly almond-shaped with a noticeable sharp dip toward the tear duct. They align neatly under thick, dark eyebrows.
Hair: Before Impression, she'd grown her caramel coloured hair out to mid-back. After she Impressed Tizalth, she had it cut a bit shorter so that a quick braid would keep it down under her flight cap. It's soft, naturally wavy to curly if she doesn't take any time with it and sometimes unruly. It's already growing out, though. She's been using elaborate braids to secure her hair up for jamming her flight cap on.
Height: 5'4" - when she stops growing with her last growth spurt, she'll be 5'5".
General Appearance:
On first impression, newly minted Wingrider Kestra is a delicate looking, almost fragile. Her eyes are wide and bright and her face fresh and eager, full of post-graduation wonder. She's mostly leg, lean, with narrower hips than she'd like but she'll carry most of her weight in her buttocks and thighs. With her duties as a dragonrider, she'll remain slim and muscular throughout her dragonrider days and in excellent shape.
Her fingers are notably calloused from playing gitar even if she tries very hard to keep her hands moisturised, they're still a bit rough to the touch. She practices hand exercises each morning and whenever she can fit them in to keep herself limber and agile. She says it also helps her with quick tack exchange and keeps her fingers agile.
In all honesty, she wanted to go to Harper Hall when she turned sixteen (if they'd let her in, if not, she'd have to find something else) after they returned from Katila. She made liberal use of practising in her free time. When she'd approached one of the Harpers at a very young age, he'd been looking for a challenge. She responded with more than a little glee and a whole lot of natural talent. Before Tizalth had come into her life, that had been her aim and she'd been fiercely determined to be more than excellent.
From Weyrlinghood mishaps, she's got a few scars. One is on her lower back, another at her shoulder blade. Neither of them was very long and both have healed nicely. One day, they'll turn white, so she's not too worried about them. There are other nicks and scratches, some from learning how to knife fight - it seemed like something she ought to know, right along with self-defence.
Dressing Style
Off-duty, Kestra is usually dressed in greens, browns, with occasional oranges and reds, complemented by other harmonious shades. Her style of dress tends toward flowing but not flamboyant, quiet, earthy tones. She's been known to brighten things up when it comes to a Gather, usually choosing brighter blues, greens, accented with fabric belts in oranges or golds. She enjoys dresses as much as breeches and prefers clothing that allows for lots of movement. Her breeches are usually deep black greens to browns or charcoal and for footwear, she favours soft boots to anything else. Paler colours are worn in the hottest months.
She has a Gather outfit that consists of a flowing green shirt trimmed in gold and blue, a pair of green-black breeches and a pair of suede boots that match the green-black of the shirt.
When no one who cares is watching, she'll ride out the light flannel long-sleeve and a tank-top.
Comfort is almost as important as klah.
She has a distinctive set of freckles/moles that are scattered up her face. But her most startling features are her vivid and captivating eyes. They much they have sparkling good humour to them and perhaps a secret or two lurking within them.
Personality
ANALYTICAL, EXPRESSIVE, PERCEPTIVE, DEDICATED, PERFECTIONIST
Kestra is exceptionally driven as a student of gitar and voice, well, as driven as one could be. Her memory is near eidetic, which helps her in her studies as well as in her performance as a dragonrider. She pours everything she has into her music when she gets to play. It took her a turn and a half to get her gitar built under the watchful eye of Ista Weyr’s Harper. She finally got the gitar sounding the way that she wanted it, though many prototypes went through her hands before she was satisfied with her instrument's sound and look.
Her ability to one-track what she's doing can border on obsessive and someone usually has to break her concentration to get her to move onto something else. This was something Tizalth took to doing more often than not as Kestra needed.
Her passion for music translates well to she has warms everything she does and her perfectionist streak means she'll not deviate from her assigned task until it's as perfect as she can make it. She really needs to learn to let go and not be so singularly focused when it comes to what she's doing. Being a perfectionist and her own worst critic means she's seldom satisfied with what she's doing. She is the kind of person who has a great need to give 900% all the time - an intensity that is rather exhausting to watch. Her energy reserves run deep, though, and she tends to make the most of them.
Despite her driven nature, she is kind, warm, and loving - if very intense. And when her walls are breached and she doesn't have to be on, these qualities unfold. She doesn't have many friends and notes that dealing with more than a few close friends is an ordeal by itself. There is a part of her that yearns for that easy camaraderie she sees others have with each other. It's not that she's shy, she just needs a good friend to pull her from her own little world. Once that's done, her laughter is pure joy.
General Character Traits
Significant Changes Post-Impression
Impressing Tizalth helped immensely in seeking out her clutch’s dragons and riders alike and the pair are usually among the first to jump into trying something new. Her lifemate has brought her to a new juncture in her life - something incredibly exciting, something other than music, much to her astonishment. Tizalth is a rock and a riot all in one for beneath her royal exterior lies a sharp-tongued, quick-witted creature and has shown that she has fantastic comedic timing. This has only grown as she has filled out into her final growth spurt.
Her dragon has had a brilliant effect on the young Kestra, giving her the confidence to use greater verbal expression and an almost shy playfulness that has taken the whole of Weyrlinghood to coax out. She’s much more likely, now, to pull people into her circle with her eyes shining bright to share something as simple as a cup of klah or a juicy bit of gossip.
Habits/Mannerisms
-- Klah in the morning, first thing. Or else.
-- Quiet morning meal with A'tay seems to be on the road to a habit.
-- Far more likely to be found near the water if she's having a Think.
Opinions
Threadfall Theory
Thread Fell during the following Turns;
First Fall: 8 to 58 AL
Second Fall: 258 to 308 AL
Third Fall: 508 to 558 AL
Fourth Fall is due to begin in 758 AL
Thread will come and soon. fuck those who don't believe their dragons. She's never been so certain of it and the way talking of it made her blood sizzle-- Well. Talking with her lifemate sealed her faith in that and talking to others, she was doubly sure. As the turns propel them forward, the Red Star absolutely will cast its red eye upon Pern once more.
Once it has and Thread begins to fall, the Weyrs better not be caught with their pants down. This is one reason Kestra drives herself so hard in training and drills.
Stealing/Kidnapping: It's horrid but she can see the logic behind it. Sucks for the North because no one likes being pressed into service and taken from their loved ones. If they'd been asked and had a choice in the matter...maybe. Shitty logic any way you look at it, though.
Weryrleader S'kef: Eh. She was super young and didn't understand much other than he was supposedly a dick.
Women's loss of honorifics: If women want to elide, they should have the choice - especially if they're on a fighting dragon. Taking that choice away was stupid when women have so very little in the way of choice anyway.
Return North: It's a logical choice what with the landslide.
Firelizards: She's in love with the little critters, though she's never had the good fortune to Impress one. Tizalth often rumbles about how she enjoys calling to the little ones and she loves to listen to their stories, even if they're silly.
Likes
Gitar: The gitar she made a few turns ago is ageing nicely and starting to become more mellow as it does. Now settled in their new weyr, her case and gitar stand have a prominent place in her little home.
Singing: It's nearly as complex as anything she's had to learn during her Weyrlinghood and a good cup of klah seems to ease her throat and help her warm-up. Even if she'll never get to the Hall and become a Harper, she's allowed to sing (and play gitar). She does love to sing ballads, hum arias, or belt them out as she oils Tizalth.
Klah: She enjoys her klah sweet, with a bit of cream to make it and hot.
Dislikes
Sleeping alone: As long as she can remember, she's wanted to cuddle up with someone at night. Now, she has Tizalth, even though she's far from the wee dragonet she once was.
People singing off-key: It almost physically hurts her when someone sings off-key near her. Just. Gross.
Pickled anything: She hates the texture, she hates the scent, and the crunchy ones just ...ew. Please, no.
Strengths:
Love of learning: Kestra loves learning new things, no matter what it is or how minor it might be.
Open-mindedness: She's always open to new ideas or new solutions and actively seeks out answers from many different sources.
Passionate/Dedicated: When she commits to something, she does so with everything in her. Beneath her calm and easy demeanour, there's a brightness waiting to be released.
Flaws
Judgemental: She's overly critical when it comes to things involving dragons, riders, and people who seem to have everything laid out for them in life. If she has to struggle, how come they don't? No amount of study can compare to field training.
Stubborn/Prideful: Deep down, her need to make sure she succeeds in life is rooted in stubborn pride and overachievement as a means of controlling her own life and making her own destiny.
Superstitious: She's seen dragonets, old Dragonriders and their dragons between, she's seen what happens if the rider doesn't follow as well. They're haunted, broken without their lifemates. She thinks the dragons somehow linger, intangible until that rider dies. Something must survive between and death itself - may be the essence of dragon and rider.
She has her own pre-flight check ritual down to run on automatic. Breaking it is such bad luck.
Nosy: It's a super-secret nosiness that can either save her skin or get her in searing trouble. Honestly, if you know the wrong thing... Let's just say your life might get ruined. She collects secrets anyway just in case they need to be used. Better to have something than nothing,
Obsessive: It's easy for her to get stuck in a loop where she does something over and over until she's satisfied that it's something she can do from muscle memory. It may be something more obsessive-compulsive than not. The more she sinks into her peer group and establishes herself among them, the less she hits this particular flaw.
Perfectionist: Faranth save her, this young lady is such a perfectionist that she puts numbers on how many times she is allowed to fail before she lets it go. But she'll be back at the next time. Setting challenges is her new way of dealing with it - personal or professional.
...Tizalth takes all bets.
History
Father: K'sen, b.685-d.734 (landslide)
Rank: Brownrider
Mother: Strellia, b.686-d.734 (landslide)
Rank: Greenrider
Siblings: Probably more than a few, though she doesn't know them.
Past Lovers/Partners:None really, though she fooled around a bit and isn't a virgin. It was casual and pleasant, also p. mandatory.
Current Lovers/Partners: Um...might be a cute thing with bronzerider A'tay going on. Super lowkey and sweet, which is everything she needs right now. Tizalth heartily approves.
Children: Not yet
Background Story:
725 & 0-6: Born
Born healthy to Greenrider Strellia, passed her to a creche wet nurse as she had any of her other progeny. The unnamed half-siblings just sorta spread anywhere and everywhere they could if they survived the landslide in 734 and migrated North.
Kestra was a feisty baby, happy child who was eager to learn and everything.
734 & 4: Landslide! She almost got caught in it and it was thanks to a creche-worker than she got out of there without dying. At four, all she remembers is rumbling, terror, and running. She's too young to help but tried to anyway.
735 & 5: Moving to a new Weyr was exciting! She went with the Ista crowd and was excited for it all. New friends were an option, too, and that was kinda awesome.
At 6 turns, she stole one of the Harper's gitars and was found picking at the strings and listening itently. That began a gleeful six turn mentorship until she was twelve turns.
736 & 6-12: School, school, helping the Weyrfolk do their jobs - broad spectrum fix-it.
At 12: She Stood for a few Hatchings beginning on her twelfth turn and while she didn't Impress, she realised that she wanted to be a rider.
Kestra's Harper fixation wavered and then shattered when a blue dragon named Sondrith convinced her that she would be a wonderful rider. Every Hatching that she didn't Impress, Sondrith encouraged her to keep Standing.
In her talks with Sondrith, she realised that Standing didn't mean that she had to give up her passion for music. She could be a passionate rider who happened to play gitar and sing.
Each Hatching made her more and more sure that blue Sondrith really was correct.
738 & 14-15:
Very early, Nadioth and Rhezalth's clutch began to hatch. There was...more violence this time around and one girl got her face eaten off and another died from her wounds as well. While she was gawking, horrified, at all of that, she Impressed the very regal green Tizalth, who gently bumped into her middle and when they looked into each other's eyes, Impression was made in a wash of rainbowed dragon eyes.
She entered Weyrlinghood with wonder at having Tizalth in her mind, the drive and ambition to excel at her training. That's what the green pair did, they trained hard and became a force to be reckoned with in the sky. Kestra's excellent memory and recall meant she gave fantastic visuals when it comes to relaying information and excellent reference points.
Her first flight on Tizalth was triumphant as she launched them into the sky, they dropped and then flew. It was an incredible experience that became drills and formations, betweening, and more drills. It wasn't easy work but by Faranth it was satisfying, just as satisfying as playing a gitar for the sheer pleasure of it.
She struck up a gentle sort of companionship with @A'tay and his lovely bronze, Xyxyth. Her Tizalth enjoyed lounging with Xyxyth and was quite affectionate. It was a lovely side of rider and dragon that allowed her to let stresses go rather than keep them under pressure. She found she really enjoyed A'tay's presence and so enjoyed it when the bronze was there as well.
There's handholding and bright smiles and it's lovely.
Getting their own permanent weyr was pretty much the highlight of the turn. She put her marks on making it her own and it became a cool paradise. The heavy fabric that separated the dragon ledge from her room had been taken down in favour of a curtain of shining and interesting beads. She absolutely loved it.
Graduation was a heady experience that left her glowing for days and it was as if she were walking on air.
Education
Craft: None; (General Education with a few mentors)
Education Details
She's always been quick when it comes to learning figures or how to read and write. Her writing is neat and very precise almost up to Harper accuracy and clarity. Kestra has a great ability to learn by ear when it comes to songs and her memory is near eidetic. She's rather contrived a sort of filing system in her head for important things, places, or people. This comes in handy for betweening as she's got her mental picture sharp but not too sharp.
She has been playing around with gitar since one of the Harpers used one to enforce knowledge by ballad on them early on in life. He sat her down and helped her make her first gitar, one she was constantly working on until it sounded and looked just the way she wanted.
She wanted to become a Harper but she knew how unlikely that would be, so instead, she just learned out to entertain and make her own songs. Some were gossipy, some hilarious, some sad, but most were pleasant and soothing.
There was nothing like sitting down and having two gitar or violin players get into a musical duel. It rivalled gearing up to fly and then taking that leap.
Dragon
Dragon Name: Tizalth
Name Pronounced: Tiz-alth
Dragon Colour: Green
Wing Assigned: Mid-altitude, hopefully
Wing Rank: Wingrider
Hatching Date: 739.05.28 AL
Birthing Weyr: Ista Weyr
Home Weyr: Ista Weyr
Clutch Name: Break of Dawn
Clutch Mother: Nadioth (gold)
Clutch Father: Rhezalth (bronze)
Appearance
Length: 28ft
Height: 7.5ft
Wingspan47ft
Scars & Markings
Her base hide is a soft moss that transitions into a light emerald at the undersides of her wings and washes across her claws and ridges, flowing down into her tail tip in a colour that's nearly turquoise. She does resemble a shining emerald, that's for sure.
Weyrlinghood
As her baby fat gave way to lean, chiselled muscles, and her growth accelerated horizontally, it became apparent that she was going to be very tall - nearly the height of a small blue. Her tail was far longer than most of her fellow greens and Kestra likened it to a noodle and vain as she is, Tizalth shot that down. Most notably, she has markings around her eyes (a light, soft green) with a base of darker green that deepens near to black as it reaches her feet.
Her claws have some gradient to them, going from darker to lighter green tips. There are some Kelly greens present that fades up into a soft golden green that runs along the undersides of her wings and along her tail. The colours are much brighter than her adult colouration, though the deep green of her wings stayed the same just somehow more muted. She is, blissfully, without blemish.
Adulthood
Her markings essentially stayed the same, though it could be said they muted just a touch, giving her adult hide colouration a softer look. Topping out a 7.5ft in height, she uses that to her advantage, often doing her best to give a royal stink-eye when she feels it appropriate. She has never been and never will be a bulky dragon for all that her 29ft puts her among the largest of greens (to her annoyance, she isn't the largest). Her tail takes up most of her length and her wingspan is an impressive 48ft. They give her the best of stamina and speed for her frame while that long tail helps her pull off amazing turning radius while in the air.
Mindvoice: Effervescent, vivacious, warm, sensuous, velvety, smokey.
General Character Traits
Tizalth is a regal thing in mind and in bearing. One would think she was a gold for all the fuss she can make. For all her pomp and royal attitude, she is a gentle, loving dragon, all heart, who'd do just about anything to make someone's day better.
Habits/Mannerisms
-- Her tail is nigh prehensile and she enjoys using to grab things from towels to buckets and in a splashing war, she tends to reign supreme.
-- She speaks her mind to just about anyone and has no filter when she does so. Oddly, she's incredibly polite about it.
-- She has a special fondness for snuggling up to others in the evening hours or whenever she's finished preening after a good oiling. It doesn't bother her that the oil on her hide is being shared. The little cousins do it all the time.
Likes
Fish: They might be tiny and barely a snack, but she really loves them. It shows in the glossiness of her hide. This doesn't mean that she doesn't eat bovine because she does.
Prancing and Jumping: She has a habit of prancing about when she's in a particularly good mood and that leads to jumping - usually in puddles. She does have a fantastic sense of space, which means nothing gets broken.
Vocalizing: She hums, clicks, rumbles, trills, and is generally a musical sort of dragon. Her croons are quite supportive when her rider is singing and she'll vocalise pretty well for any sort of music.
Being ignored: Tizalth just wants a warm welcome, her people and her compliments, which is rather...feline of her. When she was smaller, she once stole Kestra's class notes and proceeded to sit on them. It took her rider hella sweet talk and a bucket of fish to get her to relinquish them.
When her prey is predictable: She's a predator and gets bored with penned animals easily. Wild herds are perfect.
Strengths: Please include at least one sentence each explaining how they are a strength for your character.
Protective: She's protective of her Wing, her fellow Weyrling class, and her Weyr.
Adaptable: If there's one thing that's going to make a difference it's her ability to seamlessly adapt to unexpected changes around her.
Protective: In the face of danger, she protects those she can and will press forward when the time is right. It takes a certain kind of breed to be able to hold the line and not run.
Flaws
Gossipy: She likes her gossip - but rarely is the gossiper. Tizalth enjoys being the ear, though.
Cheeky: She is irreverent, forward, and sassy af. It's done without malice, though. The green might be sassy but she's isn't mean, she's just super playful.

RP Sample
There was something to be said for hoarding one's marks just to please one's dragon with pretties made to fit both fighting and the custom silvery-green wherhide straps she'd commissioned months ago. They were both well-pleased with the result. Polished green gems gleamed as she hooked them in place. The soft sound of delicate bells was actually quite lovely. She'd been afraid they'd sound would be too harsh.
With the gems secured, she called out to her tall, but very much dainty green
Oh, love, you'll look stunning in this. It was more than true, even if Tizalth looked as if she'd been carved from emerald herself. The pale green against her darker hide had been an excellent choice.
I look stunning every day but I will come and you will put it on me. We can fly and show it off. The pause after the last word and her nails clicking against the stone landing ledge ended with a soft whuff of curiosity. Well. I await. Her head appeared through the curtain of beads, which chimed in their own right.
You were right in picking the colour. It is light enough but still green enough to befit me. Yes, let us put it on. She warbled with excitement and it made Kestra giggle.
"Well, my girl, I can't just throw it on you, back up some and let me out." It had become second nature to be quick to get her lifemate all geared up in the shortest time possible. Once she had it all finished, she stepped back to admire the effect. It even came with a delicate browband and sturdy straps. In all honesty, it could even be prettily done fighting straps with minor adjustments.
"Right, drop me down by the kitchens and I'll get breakfast while you wow the boys." With a spring-step, she launched herself onto her dragon's back, securing the straps neatly. The launch was still thrilling as they soared high before spiralling down, Tizalth inviting everyone to take a look at her new straps.
Easing into the dining room, she scanned the tables and raised a hand in greeting.

[span class="ProfilePrompt2">Threadfall Theory
According to Archive Records:
Thread Fell during the following Turns;
First Fall: 8 to 58 AL
Second Fall: 258 to 308 AL
Third Fall: 508 to 558 AL
Fourth Fall is due to begin in 758 AL
Thread will come and soon. It’s a fact and it’s in the Records, why doubt literal words? Plus, look up in the sky and don’t be a shading idiot.
Stealing/Kidnapping: Too bad no one had an actual choice.
Weryrleader S'kef: The phrase “What a dick” comes to mind.
Women's loss of honorifics: Fighting dragons should have name eliding if they want it.
Return North: Dragons are awesome, so…that’s cool.
Firelizards: Yes please.
Likes
Gitar: She enjoys writing, making, and performing.
Singing: She has a voice that can be heard clear across the Weyrbowl. Her pitch is perfect.
Klah: She enjoys her klah black with a little tiny bit of sweetener.
Dislikes
Sleeping alone: The more the merrier, really. If she could coax a bunch of people into her bed for a snuggle, she totally would. Especially in the winter months.
People singing off-key: It almost physically hurts her when someone sings off-key near her. It jangles the crap out of her nerves and makes super grumpy.
Most Meat: She prefers fish or wherry and has bovine very, very rarely.
Strengths:
Love of Learning: Meryem loves learning new things, no matter what it is or how minor it might be. It’s half the reason she apprenticed Harper, not that it’ll get her anywhere.
Open-mindedness: She's always open to new ideas or new solutions and actively seeks out answers from many different sources. If she didn’t keep her eyes and ear open, who was going to bag talent when they saw it?
Passionate/Dedicated: When she commits to something, she does so with everything in her. Beneath her steely demeanour, there's a brightness waiting to be released.
Flaws
Judgemental: She's overly critical when it comes to things involving dragons, riders, and people who seem to have everything laid out for them in life. If she has to struggle, how come they don't? No amount of study can compare to field training, anyway. And if she has to do training on her own time, well, she’ll do it.
Stubborn/Prideful: Deep down, her need to make sure she succeeds in life is rooted in stubborn pride and overachievement as a means of controlling her own life and making her own destiny.
Nosy: Like a good Harper, she keeps her mind and ears open and totally knows all the good gossip.
Obsessive: It's easy for her to get stuck in a loop where she does something over and over until she's satisfied that it's something she can do from muscle memory. It may be something more obsessive-compulsive than not. The more she sinks into her peer group and establishes herself among them, the less she hits this particular flaw.
Perfectionist: Meryem loathes leaving work not done to its highest quality as if knowing something has a flaw in it ruins the entire piece of music, guitar, or what-have you. It just leaves a sour taste in her mouth.
History
Father: Yesha
Rank: Master (Voice & Cartography)
Mother: Mirala
Rank: Weaver (Fort Hold)
Siblings: A bunch. The youngest is about twelve.
Past Lovers/Partners:None of any consequence, though she fooled around a bit and isn't a virgin. It was casual and pleasant, also p. mandatory.
Current Lovers/Partners: Nope
Children: Nope
Background Story:
724 & 0-6:
Born to Yesha and Mirala at Fort Hold, no complications. Rather a nice day out as far as autumn was concerned. Nice scarlet trees. Her eldest sister, a Healer, assisted the birth. Meryem was one of those wide-eyed newborns who sharing freaked everyone out by not crying at all. She just stared at everyone and decided food was better than yelling about the sudden event of her birth. She stayed that way, quiet, watchful, almost sneaky.
At six, the dark haired, blue-eyed Meryem was so good at going undetected, she would frequently give the instructing Harper minor heart attacks as she showed up for gitar. It was easy to see she was going to be a fine gitarist and for such a small thing she had a massive voice when she sang and exquisite control. Too bad she wasn’t a boy. Those were the words that made her double down in learning and even her father, who barely acknowledged the child, lamented her lack of penis. As if just possessing male genitalia somehow made things better!
She could compose!
She could sight read!
She had perfect pitch!
But time and again the instructing Harper doted on the boys and it infuriated her to no end. At seven, she took her mother’s shears and cut off most of her hair in a fit. Her mother was aghast. Her father was oblivious.
734 & 10:
Meryem wanted the rank she was due, even at ten, but speaking up for it was difficult and there were few people she let in her quiet walls. She clawed and fought for every solo, she used her words and eloquence on paper to appeal to Harper Hall and was not deterred when no word came. The letter writing continued, neatly written, beautiful penmanship, with scores she had composed herself.
Silence from the Hall. Kitchen duties for her gall.
736 & 12-18:
At twelve, against all odds, she was picked by a Harper not as biased as some to apprentice at the Hall. She studies the same, hard and focused, quietly keeping her head down as she makes music instruments that are vastly superior to her classmates if only because she is so focused on perfection and “beating the boys” that she sacrifices sleep for designs and scrapped projects. She wants her Apprentice rank to become Journeywoman in a way so driven she has considered Standing for clutches if she can’t have what she wants. It’s a feeling that persists to the present day.
Her instruments are nearly flawless with the work she has put into them and are really pieces of art. A drum that looks like a firelizard holding a moon, shaped and pigmented so that if you didn’t know, you might thing it was real. A dragon-headed violin, a guitar painted with excruciating detail with a Flight spiraling up its length. Whatever she puts her mind to she does it with all of herself and with a determination that is almost so intense it’s become cutting.

Education
Craft: Harper
Education Details
Harper taught. Excels in instrument crafting, voice (Alto), music composition
Struggles with competitive streak against male apprentices. Has perfect pitch.
Roleplay Sample
Meryem polished the length of wood after it had become the long neck to a violin. A curling firelizard made the piece come alive and yet gave it a comfortable grip. A piece of opal delicately carved and faceted had been set into the eye, finishing off the deep, dark wood she had used.
It was a piece for a Master.
She tightened the strings on the bow she had made to go with it, the caps inlaid with opal, and went through a warm up before launching into a bawdy tune no Master would ever play on this instrument. Christened with a song about a whore.
Excellent.
No one but she would know it and that suited her just fine. She set the instrument in its case, fitting it neatly, then set the bow, rosin, and the hidework needed to call the project complete. Meryem hoped the opal rolled out and choked the greedy bastard.

R'yen
First Name: Royen
Pronounced: Roy-ehn
Honorific: R'yen
Nicknames: None
Dragon Colour: Brown
Wing Rank: Wingrider
Primary Rank: Wingrider
Secondary Rank:
Place of Birth: Benden Hold
Date of Birth: 05.15.720 AL
Impression Age: 17, 11.09.735 AL
Physical Age: 21
Weyrmate/Husband/Wife: None
Face Claim: Danila Polyakov
Looks
Eyes: Bluish green
Hair: Red, long
Height: 6'3"
General Appearance:
R'yen, at 21, looks about five turns older than he is, especially as he's started to grow a beard. He kept his fiery red hair long even through Weyrlinghood and usually braids it back in tiny braids fixed with beads that help it lie flatter and make it easier to get his flight gear on. The rest gets twisted up and under the flight cap somehow. He's rugged, nicely filled out now with training behind him for five turns and hard work in drills.
The man is tall at 6'3", surpassing his father's 5'9" by leaps but most of his kin are rather giant themselves. On his own he's a mountain of a man. His dragon seemed to get the gift of growth as well, nearly the size of a small bronze minus five feet or so. Together, they're a potential intimidating sight.
Dressing Style: Fairly casual, tunics, breeches, usually tall boots to his knee.
Personality
General Character Traits:
For such a large man, he's really quite sweet and kind, often thoughtful, and very conscious of his size. He is exactingly careful with the space around him with the kind of detail that makes it clear that he's strong enough to do some inadvertent damage if he's not careful. He rarely displays a temper but if something has angered him enough to the point where it shows, it's explosive.
Likes:
Like 1: Firelizards; He has a very tiny green named Chirp and he loves and coddles her like she's a little jewel.
Like 2: Klah. At Telgar, Klah was a necessity and so he'll drink it any way it comes, usually at ridiculous hours.
Like 3: Maps. He would have been an excellent Harper if he'd chosen that path. With Kisenth's staying power, they enjoy taking in the face of Pern and his memory is so good, he can accurately map out sections of the terrain they've covered. It's only a hobby though but his maps are really lovely.
Dislikes:
Dislike 1: Bullies; He hates, not dislikes, but hates people who take advantage of others in lower stations or who are easily overpowered. It's the one thing that brings out a more violent side of him.
Dislike 2: Canines; He's actually frightened of dogs. One bit him in the ass when he was like six turns old and he's never really gotten over that fear.
Dislike 3: Heat; Telgar might have been the perfect Weyr for him with it's cold climate. he thrived there and would have withered if he'd gone to Ista.

Strengths:

Neat, more so than when he was living at Benden Hold. He favors greens and blues with browns, when possible. His shock of orange-red hair is enough of a wild colour for him.
