Appearance
Eye Colour:
Hazel
Height:
5'6
Hair Colour:
Dirty blonde, curly
Build:
Slim
General Description:
Other than her eyes being hazel, there’s nothing overly remarkable about them as they’re not large or even tilted one way or the other. Typical of hazel eyes, however, they do appear more green or brown depending on what colour of clothing she’s wearing.

Rhaedalyn’s hair is sometimes seen as a curly mess when the wind gets to it or it falls free of any clips. The curly locks fall just beyond her shoulders though when wet her hair reaches mid-back. Originally her hair was a medium brown and it still is near the roots and the underside but the strands that see sunlight daily have naturally lightened.

General Appearance: Rhaedalyn is of a delicate build which her formerly pale – but now evenly tanned – skin only played up. She’s rather slim with only a hint of womanly curves on a petite stature. Any height she does have comes in her slender legs being long. Saying she has any muscular definition would be kind as she is essentially a stick. Some believe the girl doesn’t eat enough, if at all, with how slim she is and how they swear they can count her ribs. But Rhaedalyn is comfortable with her size and knows she eats properly; it’s not her fault she can eat whatever she wants and not gain weight for it!

She has an oval-shaped face that barely supports her large mouth that seems to take up her face when she smiles brightly though her lips aren’t plump and luscious like some of the other women running around the weyr. Her chin is somewhat narrow but it complements her thin nose, keeping a nice line of symmetry and proportion which makes Rhaedalyn appear to be something more than just another face in the crowd. She likes to think she’s pretty and most of the time, that’s all that matters to her!

The one thing that oddly gives her a bit of a complex is her teeth. She finds them to be freakishly straight and even, as if they’re just one piece of enamel with some lines drawn on. This odd quirk of hers makes it hard to come to terms with her smile and she will sometimes try to hide behind her hand when laughing.
General Dressing Style:
Rhaedalyn enjoys being a girl and dressing like one. Skirts and dresses dominate her wardrobe. The dresses have a form-fitting bodice though her normal day wear doesn’t show cleavage – not that she has much to show – and the skirts are long and flowing. She will typically stay in that style of dressing even when assigned to the crèche or out picking numbweed or berries since they provide more freedom to move around in and she doesn’t like being overly restricted like she believes pants do to her.

Colour-wise, Rhaedalyn will wear anything from earth tones to more vibrant colours. However, she tends to stick with the colours of Autumn though she couldn’t say why except they’re pretty and she’s drawn to them.
Keri Russell
Personality
Likes:
Baking: She may not be the best baker around but Rhaedalyn does enjoy tinkering about in the kitchen. She’s extremely good at cookies and that’s about it. Don’t ask her to cook a full meal! It might work out but you might regret it later as well.

Romance: It’s great being in love! Or so Rhaedalyn believes. She has yet to find the man that captures her heart but she knows exactly how it will happen. Well, she has enough fantasies of her prince swooping her off her feet to cover all bases anyway. Flowers, dinner, dancing, staring into each other’s eyes… why do so many people hate romance?

Animals: The cute and cuddly or dragon variety, anyway! Wherries and vicious felines need not apply for her love. Rhaedalyn likes the idea of having domesticated felines curled up with her when she sews or sleeps, finding their purring to be soothing and their quiet companionship to be comforting. The idea of a dragon bonded to her makes her smile since it would be a constant she could lay her trust in and know it would be returned.

Clothes: At a young age, Rhaedalyn loved dressing up and wanted to change clothes several times a day because she wanted to show off her wardrobe. This turned into a desire to make clothes which led her into tailoring. Now, she loves showing off her own work which she wears proudly and will be glad to make items for friends as well.
Strengths:
Clever: Rhaedalyn, while not the smartest kid in any class she’s ever been in, is clever and prides herself in seeing the larger picture and figuring out all options.

Creative: Being creative helps her in areas where cleverness is needed as much as an unique viewpoint. Thinking outside the box never hurts!

Adaptable: She will also find a way to adapt to all situations. Being kidnapped for Katila’s future wasn’t something she wanted nor did she overly like the actual lifestyle but she’s learned to accept it for what it is and find aspects she enjoys. Being allowed and encouraged to make clothes and mend others has helped with this.
Dislikes:
Running: Ew, getting sweaty! Rhaedalyn is not one to enjoy physical labour and there’s nothing at all attractive about running. You sweat, you smell, you pant, and you make funny faces. The pain in her side after running anywhere is not worth saving a few seconds or pleasing teachers enforcing healthy routines on them.

Direct Sunlight: Being in the sun for extended periods of time is something she tries her best to avoid. Given her pale skin when she first arrived to the hot South, she burned easily and that was most uncomfortable! When the burn faded into a tan, she felt dirty, not at all used to seeing herself so dark. Not to mention that the hotter days made for sweaty days, something she doesn’t enjoy at all. Hats have become common attire.

Crying Kids: She has nothing against children of any age, honest! She can even appreciate their innocence as well as their direct way of seeing things or telling it as it is but the crying needs to stop. It makes her cringe and if the crying goes on for too long, a headache forms.
Flaws:
Trust Issues: Rhaedalyn is a bit shy when she first meets someone. This is due to her trust issues. Even she can’t quite explain what brought that on but she’s very cautious around new people and won’t put her trust in anyone until they’ve proved they deserve it. Once she gets to know someone and likes them, she’s very bubbly and open.

Cunning: Saying she’s manipulative might be a bit of a stretch but when she feels like she’s not getting her way or a man might not be paying her enough attention, she’s more than willing to play up her delicate appearance and have it seem like she can’t do anything lest she break.
Habits & Mannerisms:
Rhaedalyn often tries to hide behind her hand when laughing since she doesn’t like her teeth, which is interesting since she giggles a lot. She’ll also twirl locks of hair around her fingers when she’s lost in thought or bored which many assume is a constant thing with how regularly she’ll do it during meals or lessons. When she’s nervous or anxious, cleaning is the distraction of choice even though she’s normally not a neat freak – though she’s hardly a natural disaster blowing through a room either.
General Personality:
Rhaedalyn is rather sweet; once you get her to open up. She wants to make friends with everyone but it’s a bit difficult when she won’t blindly trust people immediately after meeting them. People can be deceptive and she wants to know their true face before falling for the false one. Once she’s comfortable with someone, she’ll open up more about herself and relax.

While she may try to avoid those with more boisterous and outspoken opinions of the negative variety, Katila is a small community and she can’t really escape anyone so she often ends up bullied into going along with what her fellow Candidates are up to. Despite that, however, she can and often will argue her standpoint as she usually believes herself to be right. In the end, it’s still likely she’ll be overpowered – not necessarily in a physical manner – and give up. Sometimes it’s just easier to go with the popular opinion!

Rhaedalyn is, in truth, kind of ditzy. She thinks she’s intelligent but it doesn’t go very deep and in the end she’ll end up basing decisions on appearance or what she thinks will earn her points with people. It isn’t that she doesn’t pay attention, she does! It’s just that some information refuses to stick or a topic is too deep and complicated for her simple views on things for her mind to handle.

Important History:
709 & Born: Rhaedalyn is born to Rhaede and Marnie, their first child.

710-714 & 1-5: Rhaedalyn is the typical spoiled baby girl even with two of her siblings being born. Her father is a busy Healer but her mother spends all of her time with the children.

715-719 & 6-10: The births of her next two siblings don’t change the amount of attention her parents give to them all. Rhaedalyn is often read fairy tales with happily ever after endings and all adults around her encourage her to find her own, except for the Harper charged with teaching the young girl who wishes she was more grounded.

720-722 & 11-13: Rhaedalyn starts dabbling with creating her own fashion style and teaching herself how to sew enough to improve existing articles with her own little touch. The Harper tells her about Southern Boll but her parents don’t want her travelling that far away and keep her at home.
723 & 14: While the typical age for joining a Hall is twelve, Rhaedalyn doesn’t receive permission to start a tailoring apprenticeship until just before her fourteenth birthday. Her parents considered marrying her off to a lord and wanted to keep their options open early on. When she showed a true passion for clothing and a friend within Telgar Hold said he could get her an apprenticeship with their tailor, thus keeping Rhaedalyn closer to home, her parents agreed.

724-728 & 15-19: Rhaedalyn lives within the Hold in a small room she shares with another apprentice and studies regularly with the Harper to help educate her (no one would say Telgar denied luxuries to their wards!) as well as learning daily the basics of sewing and moving into more complicated patterns. She also catches glimpses of the Telgar heir early on and as she grows older, a crush develops on the man she’s never had a chance to speak to. He’s so handsome and surly a kind soul!

729 & 20: A few months after her twentieth birthday, walking back to the main Hold after a fun evening of dancing at their sponsored Gather, Rhaedalyn is approached by a handsome man that knew all the right things to say. She doesn’t trust easily but still she’s flattered by the attention and had a glass of wine making her relax a bit more and falls into a conversation with the man. While dancing in the moonlight to a song the man sang for them, she was suddenly grabbed and carted to a dragon. Upon seeing the beast, Rhaedalyn quickly fainted and woke again on Candidate Isle to her new life.

730 & 21: She’s still not overly thrilled with Katila or how she was taken there but Rhaedalyn tries to find the best in the situation. Slowly she starts to understand her skills in tailoring is needed as well as her high chance of Impressing one of the dragons Pern will be in need of again.

731 & 22: Her first Hatching! Rhaedalyn doesn’t know what to expect, despite the classes she attended. When the mauling began, she did her best to stifle the screams they were warned not to make and barely kept from fainting. So much blood! At the end of it all, she hadn’t Impressed and while disappointed, felt it was for the best as she wasn’t ready yet. But Rhaedalyn knew that she did want the honour after seeing her classmates with their bonded.

732 & 23: Another Hatching! Another disappointment for Rhaedalyn. Both clutches had seen a gold break shell and she was convinced she was destined for that colour, though she supposed a green could be rather lovely as well since they were so graceful and elegant in the air. She struggles briefly with the guilt of disappointing the weyr by still not Impressing and continues to ignore D’ren’s announcement that women need to have at least one child before Standing. After all, not only did she want to stay pure for the love of her life but she had been filed away with other Candidates that seemed right for gold and had still be shoved onto the Sands when the little cutie popped out. Some rules didn’t apply to everyone!

733 & 24: It finally happens! Rhaedalyn Impresses to Gold Aradissicath and she’s thrown into the life of a Weyrling while continuing her budding relationship with bluerider Z’ia.

734 & 25: Everything seems to happen this turn. She has her maiden flight where her dear friend and protector, bronzerider R’nya, wins. The landslide steals away two of her closest friends; V’zire and Mevrit. Aradissicath clutches and has a successful Hatching of 42 eggs.

735 & 26: A second flight with R'nya resulted in pregnancy which broke up her relationship with Z'ia. The clutch hatched without issue and Rhaedalyn gave birth to a baby girl, Alyren. Near the end of the turn Aradissicath flies again and Xyreith once more wins.

736 & 27: With R'nya being chosen to become Weyrleader for Fort, Rhaedalyn is shocked and honoured that she's chosen to go with him at his side. It's a lot of responsibility on her shoulders but she does her best to help get everything organized and in the end also adopts Varlea.

737- 740 & 28-32: Continues to focus on being the best Weyrwoman she can be while being approachable by everyone in the Weyr and a good mate and mother. Being so busy somehow works well for her and helps her find her groove and settle into the roles more.

742 & 33: She is among the first targets with the Murder Muffins. She thankfully survives but is left sick and weak for months. R'nya becomes overly protective and sometimes smothering. However, some good news in their personal life has Rhaedalyn become pregnant again several months later.

743 & 34: Gives birth in month 4 to another girl. They're both thrilled, though Rhaedalyn hoped this would be the son she knows R'nya would love to have.

Education
Details:
She never went to Southern Boll to learn all of their secrets or use the finest materials around but learned from a master tailor in the employ of Telgar Hold. She’s a quick learner but likes to take her time to make sure it’s always perfect.

Whipping together shirts and simple dresses is about the height of her skill. Anything too elaborate still trips her up but she has improved. She’s also skilled in mending clothes.

Clutch Details:
Gold Krypth x Brown Saquith at Katila Weyr on the 18.06.733 [Clutch Page]
Weyrlinghood
Aradissicath hatches an almost shockingly pale golden colour, her hide a milky cream that is rather splendid and rivalled in its pale nature only by the white-blue hide claimed by Pistoth. Despite the rather shocking first impression of her hide, Aradissicath is rather unremarkable as far as youngsters go. While well structured, she does not contain that needed air of a splendidly crafted creature; rather, her natural awkwardness and clumsy nature cause her to look as if she is in a perpetually confused state.

During Weyrlinghood, she will often struggle with ground work, her limbs seemingly too awkward for the young gold to control; as a result, it will not be an uncommon sight to see Aradissicath with her nose planted firmly in the ground, rump in the air as she struggles to regain what little dignity she may have left. Her ability in the sky will prove somewhat more naturally inclined, though she will struggle terribly with special awareness, often barely managing to skim rooves and trees.
Aradissicath
Adulthood
As she grows, Aradissicath will retain her slightly rumpled air; her nose often flared from recent planting in the dirt, will give her a startled impression despite her regularly calm and peacefully swirling eyes. However, adulthood will reveal a spending colouration for Aradissicath; splendid shades of molten gold weave and swirl across her body, mingling and fading into one another in a manner that both draws the eye in, and tricks it as her hide creates an alive, almost moving appearance as one’s gaze moves across it. Her wing membranes continue the effect; though mostly lighter in shade, they appear luminescent and almost see-through under the direct glare of the sun.

Her body at full growth is large, bigger than a great deal of the other dragons, but she is slim and delicate. Each line of Aradissicath’s body is fine and precise. While she will never be an example of proportional perfection, her odd lengths and elongated limbs work well for her – when she can control them, at any rate. She is exceedingly feminine, with a streamlined build and large wings made for long glides and smooth flights. She will never be a bony or underfed appearing creature, but she will never be rounded or carry an ounce of extra weight, either. Every ounce of her is built into wiry muscles wrapped around slender bones and covered in a gorgeous golden hide.

Pregnancy will look truly awful on her. Her small, narrow body will balloon out at the guts as her eggs develop, making her look extremely potbellied and wormy. Despite the attack at any vanity, pregnancy will agree with Aradissicath, who will carry herself through the process with a dignified air, and a literal glow that will – in the beginning – confuse a lot of people who will think the dragon must be getting Proddy once more.

As she grows, Aradissicath will retain her slightly rumpled air, her nose often flared from recent planting in the dirt, will give her a startled impression despite her regularly calm and peacefully swirling eyes. Her limbs and wings are long, and grow more swiftly than she appears capable of keeping up with; gravity will be a debilitating factor in her youth, though as she grows, Aradissicath will master both gravity and her limbs. She will always retain an air of awkward gangly-ness, but she will conduct herself with pride and dignity – even if she never does manage to keep her nose permanently out of the soil.
Mindvoice
Aradissicath has a low toned, melodic voice that is both pleasant and soothing. In times of distress, it becomes sharp and clipped, but such occurrences are few and far between - excluding her times upon the Sands. Despite her pretence for winding up in embarrassing circumstances, Aradissicath's voice rarely belies any such emotion; rather, her warmth and general acceptance for life and the things it dishes out can be heard washing through the lyrical manner in which she speaks when amused.
Personality
Aradissicath is a genuine, sweet dragon that was immediately attracted to the bright, imaginative nature of her rider-to-be. She enjoys slow, lazy flights where the wind is breezy and the clouds are gentle and the two girls can daydream peacefully, even if Aradissicath’s attempts at landing are often a jarring and vicious reminder of the fact that life is very real, and imagination, is exactly that. Her spatial awareness skills lacking dramatically, she will often have difficulty with the simple things like avoiding tree tops, and other dragons – something that will cause some drama in her Flights as she misjudges distances, and spaces, and won’t be uncommon for her to crash into a male she was attempting to tease, usually resulting in him being so shocked he will drop out of the sky.

Pregnancy will agree with Aradissicath’s nature, even if it leaves her physical appearance more than a little wanting. The combination of the ungainly and the ungraceful will have Aradissicath quickly coming to enjoy and dote upon the silence and daydreaming possibilities being an egg factory will bring to her, at regular intervals. This, however, will naturally result in a snarky, unhappy dragon when her quiet daydreaming time is interrupted for such annoyances as seeing how many eggs she laid, or Touching those eggs – or, for Faranth’s sake! – the drama and mayhem of Hatching day, which will also take away her wonderful quiet time; at least until her next flight!

Aradissicath is not a particularly withdrawn creature; while she would much rather watch the world go by and quietly babble her stories to Rhaedalyn and a few selected members of her scarce audience, Aradissicath is not afraid to voice her displeasure when things do not go her way. Unfortunately, this dragon’s idea of letting other’s k now how unhappy she is, is to throw a spectacularly childish tantrum, something that is usually enhanced with unintended ‘gold force’, which can result in some dragons taking some obscure actions in response!

At the end of the day, however, Aradissicath is a sweet natured and gentle dragon that likes nothing more than to laze around in the sunshine with her rider, or sprawl on the sands while the eggs heat and harden, or even curl up in the shade and try to stay somewhat out of the fierce weather that her home is bound to bring bearing down on her – and day dream about all the amazing things the imaginative dragon, and her romantic rider, are capable of coming up with.
Quirks
Aradissicath has a fascination with stories, something that is first sparked by the daydreaming quality in Rhaedalyn, and it is something she encourages strongly in her bonded. She enjoys nothing so much as sitting in the far corner of the woman’s mind, and watching the scenes that play out across the vivid screen of Rhaedalyn’s mind.

As she matures, Aradissicath will take to first adding to Rhaedalyn’s fantasies, before eventually evolving to the point where she will create fantastical stories of her own, with heroes and damsels and romance and all the amazing ups and downs that she picks up from around her as she grows. At first, her audiences will be small, namely Rhaedalyn herself, before slowly expanding over the years, though she will never be particularly keen to broadcast to large audiences; instead, she prefers small groups that usually consist of adolescent women who are capable of fully embracing the wonders she puts together for them.

Because being pregnant often renders her incapable of true flight, or even getting around very far, never mind how ungainly it makes her in general, Aradissicath will come to truly love the time she is bound to the ground by her bulging belly; after all, what better time is there for her to listen to the stories she so loves, to daydream with Rhaedalyn, or to eventually tell her own to an eagerly awaiting audience?

Aradissicath also enjoys watching bronzes hunting; the way the creatures control the air, and move the herds, before finally swooping down to take out their chosen prey! She seems to envision it as a great hero, dropping down from the skies above to slay the fearsome beasts and save the fair maiden from a terrible fate! In contrast, Aradissicath is almost shockingly delicate when it comes to hunting herself; she is fussy, particular and often prefers to eat smaller creatures that require less umph in order to kill. Despite that, flight lust makes her vicious, and messy.

Dislikes: Being an imaginative and intelligent creature herself, Aradissicath will naturally grow to find the dull-witted and the unimaginative to be particularly distasteful to be around. She cannot understand those with linear thought processes, and will often become frustrated by the frank A to B process many people, and dragons, function by.

Aradissicath is also a broody dragon, and her time on the sands will often be difficult and irritating for those that have to function around her. She hates candidates, not because they want to touch her eggs, so much as because they are obnoxious creatures that interrupt her peace and quiet of well-deserved day dreaming opportunities! Aradissicath enjoys being sand-bound, as she finds it a wonderfully quiet and peaceful time to develop stories, listen to those of others, day dream with Rhaedalyn, and generally be doted upon. Unfortunately, as soon as that doting includes unwanted talk, noises, or interrupting her at a critical point in her own mind – Aradissicath is prone to become unreasonable.

The result of that is that Aradissicath resents those that peer onto the sands to get a good look at her eggs, she resents the candidates that want to touch her unhatched babies, and she hates Hatching day – especially because Hatching day takes away her right to lounge on the Sands and imagine all the wonderful things to her heart’s content. This makes Aradissicath broody, and she will develop habits of protecting her eggs from sight, or the usually entirely placid dragon snarling and snapping to chase creatures from the Sands she doesn’t want there. Aradissicath absolutely loathes sharing the Hatching Sands with another dragon and her clutch.

Habits/Mannerisms: Aradissicath’s possessive nature when it comes to the Sands will become apparent from the first time she realises how wonderful being sand bound is. Be it her first clutch, or her fifth, when she realises it Aradissicath will transform from the genuinely cheerful and pleasant dragon that the Weyr will come to treasure, to a snapping, irritable grumpy bum that will deeply resent those that interrupt her wonderful daydreaming time.

Aradissicath has a natural clumsiness that she finds both amusing and embarrassing. Her youth will often be spent with her nose buried firmly in the ground, and grains of sand up her nose will not be uncommon. Despite her lack of grace, Aradissicath will always carry herself with dignified pride, and often give the air of ‘I meant to do that’ when she does manage to trip.

No matter how well Aradissicath will come to control her body in later life, this imaginative gold dragon will always have a lot of trouble with spatial awareness. Hunting will be difficult for her to learn, and landing will be dangerous and often result in stomach-jarring drops or heavy landings when the ground isn’t where she thought it was. She will often bump things with nose, tail or wings as she misjudges the distance and how much room she has to work with. It isn’t even that Aradissicath believes she is smaller than she is; she is simply incapable of judging the amount of space surrounding her.

Strengths: Despite her vivid imagination – or perhaps because of it – Aradissicath is a remarkably unflappable dragon (hatching sands aside) who finds the ups and downs of life to be of no major consequence and certainly not worth getting upset over. They are, however, amazing fodder for her imagination and Aradissicath will take every experience – the good, the bad, and the meh – and somehow weave it into the fantasies she will come to develop to entertain her sweet bonded.

Despite her enjoyment of talking, Aradissicath is an avid listener, and while some dragons are anxious to make sure their every word is heard, Aradissicath can go days without so much as uttering a word – sometimes not even to Rhaedalyn! – as she simply listens, watches, takes in the swirling progress of life with softly coloured eyes. Then, when she is ready, Aradissicath will share with the chosen recipients the story she has developed in her silence.

Where Rhaedalyn is shy, and cautious, Aradissicath occassionally embraces a more forthright personality; she isn’t afraid to step up and she will encourage her bonded to do the same if she feels it is needed. She will never require to be in the spotlight, and besides her story telling moments, Aradissicath will be quite happy to just sprawl off to the side and watch placidly. There is no get up and go-go-go in her, but Aradissicath sees no need to be cowed into silence, either. She’s happy to speak out – when she has something to say. It just doesn’t happen very often.

Weaknesses: Like Rhaedalyn, Aradissicath is a dreamer; with an adventurous soul but a lazy body, she sees no reason to act upon the fascinating things she is capable of imagining – imagining them is quite enough! – but her dreamy and quiet nature can make her seem unintelligent, or standoffish, depending on the circle in which she is currently not engrossed. Perhaps what truly makes this aspect a weakness, is the fact that Aradissicath simply doesn’t care. She doesn’t care to impress the Weyr, she doesn’t care to babble mindlessly, and she certainly doesn’t care that that results in some thinking she is far less intelligent than she actually is. Unless someone directly insults her imagination, Aradissicath couldn’t care if she tried.

However, should someone insult her imagination, or her most precious bonded, than Aradissicath can be vicious, and petty. Very petty. If someone expresses distaste toward the things she makes up, the stories she creates, or insults her works as a whole or in part, Aradissicath will immediately shun them. They are unworthy of her time, her attention, the very air they breathe. Well, except to make their lives a living misery for as long as she can remember she hates them for.

Until – unless – Rhaedalyn learns to control her, Aradissicath will punish those she considers impolite or rude by the most childish, petty tantrums she is capable of having, occasionally throwing her weight and natural rank of being a gold around - stupid, childish things like to go 'jump off a cliff' and not realising she's enforced it with her rank.

For as long as she can remember it, Aradissicath is incapable of forgiveness. Once burned, she refuses to let go of her negative reaction. The act of upsetting the dragon will usually come in two forms – an attack upon her imagination, or even more unforgivable, an attack upon her rider. Rhaedalyn is her life, her heart and soul, and anyone that dares to harm her rider – whether that harm be brought about to Rhaedalyn’s mind or body – is totally and completely unforgivable.

Pet Details

Has 3 firelizards, all Impressed while in Katila.

Muffin: a troublemaking blue. He's lighter in colour and despite the food he constantly steals, he's average in size, likely thanks to how often he's on the move. While not the most reliable, Muffin will deliver letters but only to certain people. He can't seem to bother with going to more than his chosen few.

Rumour: another blue but much calmer and more reliable than his adoptive brother. A bit darker in colour, he's still of average size but much more useful. Rumour likes delivering letters and helping where he can.

Whisper: A regal gold in a marbling of yellows. She adores R'nya and will often be found near him when she isn't needed for something else.
