Name: Kalina
age:30
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Rank: Dragon Rider
Born: Blossom Hold
Physical Appearance:
Kalina is a woman of slightly more than average height at 5'8 with tanned skin the color of dark honey and light amber eyes. Her black hair is usually in a braid these days, trailing down her backside to brush her buttocks. Its almost like she's made a point not to be like most riders, who keep their hair on the shorter side. Her body is toned though she has a slight belly she has been working off since the birth of her son
Kalina smiles often with the expression lighting up her eyes. She has a cheery and mischievous nature that reveals itself in different ways...like when she wears her hair "askew" or finds some odd object to incorporate into her out fit.Her fingers are long and calloused, with a delicate strength. She likes to wear dark brown breeches with light colored shirts. The color blue has made its way in to her wardrobe over the years as well. She has taken a liking to low cut boots and necklaces short enough to be considered collars.. Her body has a smooth consistent skin tone except for her left arm and back.
Years ago her left arm suffered a knife wound, leaving a trail of dark pink down her forearm that's blended with age. Scars also start with wide claw marks from her shoulders and reach down and around her obliques (sides) getting thinner and less noticeable as they go down. Those familiar with battle wounds would know these to be claws marks from a dragon, likely green.
Personality: Kalina is an energetic and curious woman. She'll go from one thing to the next, always looking for the why's and how's to the world around her. She is outgoing and will not hesitate to seek some one out for fun times or conversation. During her years with Max and the birth of her son has given her a sense of confidence and self assurance that she had lacked in her younger years, slowly transforming her from a nervous young woman to some one who is self assured and much more relaxed. She still loves crazy adventures, but is not as reckless as she used to be.
Several friends have passed on over the turns at the Weyr. The end result leaving Kalina a bit more sober at times and reflective. She still gets sad when she thinks of them but is no longer suffering with bouts of depression. While there are few people she outright dislikes, she still holds a bit of resentment towards the original wasteland riders and believes them to be the catalyst of the original Selenitas.
History:
Kalina was born into her family as the only child. Her mother Zurune and her father Raziel never had a son. So he indulged her and let her learn his craft, with is mainly silver smithing. He also worked some general black smithing to provide items for the hold. By age 7 Kalina could make simple silver bracelets with her father watching over her. Even now she is hardly skilled enough to make a living of it, but she can make pretty things and likes to spend her allowance on extra silver and ore for her hobby.
She did well with the teaching songs. Curious by nature she convinced the bard to teach her music. While she could learn some stuff, she never excelled with any instruments. When she tried singing instead she learned her voice didn't match her enthusiasm. So she learned to weave.
She's not even an excellent student for weaving though. The patience required for large projects eludes her and her mind wanders. She's good at small 16 stranded braids though and makes them for her hair and other things. No matter where she turns, she can't seem to excel in anything that requires her to sit still.
She was always in and out of the fields with beast but the owners knew better and wouldn't teach her much about handling livestock. She could only pick up tidbits from stable hands.
She tried getting to know the dolphins but after several precarious situations where she went off on her own she was told dolphineering wasn't for her.
Occasionally she would ask her father about dragons. As always though, he told her not to think of them and to find something else to entertain her mind. As such she was more curious than ever, but no one would talk to her of them. She has heard of the wars but only mere tidbits and doesn't even know if the other weyrs exist. When searches came to Blossom hold her parents found her something to do or sent her into the forest when they knew riders would be near. It didn't always stop her from seeing the dragons though. She would find ways to watch them as they met with the youngsters and talked to people. She wonders if they even know that the silversmith had a daughter.
Since she seemed only good for chores she began seeking adventure further and further from the hold. She has an eye for adventure and challenge and isn't very interested in the hold. Occasionally she sees dragons and wonders what they are like but she only knows the stuff every hold daughter knows. Few facts and a lot of tales.
Her exploring didn't stop once thread fall came. In fact she studied when it dropped and eventually could guess when it was safe to explore. She wasn't always perfect...but she has been very lucky.
Her Mother became expectant with child. They where worried since its a bit of a miracle that she was pregnant at all. After Kalina was searched she gave birth a boy they named Razune.
While returning from one of her outings she was searched by F'con. Her mother was not pleased at all but allowed her wild daughter to go. Perhaps she would calm down amongst the Weyr people. Instead, Kalina arrived at the Weyr and realized she had a lot less freedom than before. Even though she preferred being able to come and go, she decided that she would see this through and now makes all efforts to do what she must to be presented before a clutch.
Before long Kalina was standing on the sands and met Uminth. The little hatchling had literally rolled into her life. I am sorry, KalinaMine! I am sorry, I am sorry! Please forgive your Uminth! I hunger so, and my legs are small, and I can not move well! I am sorry! Please do not be mad at me... Uminth had cried in distress, trying to wrap her wings around the girl. I love you! I love you so, so, so, so, /so/ much!
Kalina raised Uminth and was very pleased with her little dragon. The month's quickly flew by in a flurry of chores, lessons, oilings and outings. Schmee was poisoned while she was a Weyrling and Kalina was among the many who were upset and confused at the time. She had also down what she could to help the Weyr by fishing and foraging for food.
It wasn't long before yet another great upheaval occurred at the Weyr. Benden's attack had not been expected by Kalina, who was still a bit naive on Weyr politics. Some of her friends had been lost or injured in the fighting and she had gotten a shallow cut from a man's dagger. After the fighting was over she could see how lucky she was to have survived with Uminth even as she mourned for those lost to the Weyr in death.
Now she and Uminth are close to graduation and Kalina marvels at how such a small creature has grown so big! She has also noticed a change in Uminth...counting the months Kalina has realized its time for Uminth to rise. Where did the time go? It was too soon for Kalina, she remembered what the candidates and weyrlings had been told....but she just hadn't been interested in finding some one! Now she looked on with trepidation...wondering how Uminth's first flight would be.
It turned out Uminth was caught by Dsoleth and Kalina experienced a man for the first time in T'san. It took her a little while before she was comfortable around men. Now more aware of them.
Wastelands invasion left her with few friends in the Weyr. She began volunteering for the solo patrols and would continue them. She began growing her hair out till it became necessary to keep it braided while riding. Amazingly Uminth did not rise during this time period. Whether its because Uminth didn't feel the need to or was just simply refusing the chance to be caught by people Kalina despised can be left to speculation.
3016-3018
The next year was pretty uneventful as Kalina joined more patrols and did more solo sweeps. She kept pretty much to herself the whole year and still Uminth didn't rise. Kalina was becoming very concerned for her but Uminth told her she was fine and not to worry. The gathering at Hyphen had been interesting until Burimyu was discovered. Kalina did her best to stay out of it and not actually find anyone. The year of 3016 had been quiet otherwise but things just couldn't stay quiet forever
The next year came and Kalina was assigned to a Patrol for one of the tithes. Burimyu attecked the tithe train for the medical supplies and She with Uminth where unwillingly drawn into the struggle. When Uminth tried to scare off a green the elusive Onyth between above them and layed claw upon Kalina and Uminth both. They where both badly injured and Kalina almost died that day. The slices from her shoulders down her back and sides turned into scars, even though a very skilled healer had done the stitches.
Uminth had been injured beyond flight as well and it took her time to heal. Even so the easily bored dragon managed a grounded flight, playing hide and seek with the male dragons and Pidesk until Dsoleth found and caught her yet again.
When Ja'kin stepped down as weyrleader she felt a sense of relief. She had never liked the Wastelader and hoped H'nes would be better. All too soon though things went from bad to worse as an epic eathquake shattered Selenitas. Kalina had drank too much fellis juice and had been unable to wake up. Uminth however had a mental collapse and was extreamely terrified, her Bonded's unusual sleep making it worse. They where excavated out though and Kalina woke up about twelve hours later and very confused, but she and Uminth where alive.
They moved with the rest of the Weyr to Burimyu and Uminth had a hard time adjusting. She went back to sneaking outside at night to sleep under the stars. Kalina healed and started the long road of building her strength back. During this time a plague swept through the firelizards and Kalina insisted Arcturius and Raziel stay isolated from the others.
As the turn passed Kalina was pretty adjusted to Burimyu and Uminth was slowly starting to use her Weyr. Even so the stone dome and the tunnels bothered her, always giving her a feeling of being pressed in. Kalina met a Wherhandler early in the year and the two started dating, going on reckless adventures together and exploring the tunnels still unused. Kalina wasn't entirely happy about the Weyr being on good terms with Benden but she accepted it and did her duty.
3019-3022
In the next year tension rose until the war escalated and Fort was taken over. Kalina was out for most of the activity though because of a very unexpected bundle of joy. The baby boy she had was adorable but one thing remained unclear to her, was the baby Ce'thian's or Max's? Uminth had flown finally and was caught by Ce'thian's Bronze. Around the same time she and Max had been very active, so it was most likely Max's in her mind. She kept the baby, having him in the creche during her working hours and keeping him with her when ever she got the chance. She named the boy Makelius. It wasn't long before she and Max became Weyrmated and soon they discovered it was a good decision for more than one reason. The Dragon riders where being split up. When the year came that Inverness Weyr was created and the dragon riders were relocated, Kalina got to stay at the new Selenitas with Max. THe next couple years would be spent doing her job, raising her baby, and spending time with max.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name: Uminth
Color: Green
Looks To: Kalina
Physical Description: From nose to tail, this green is rather small, though her wings are wide and impressive for her size, and she will probably grow into a size more normal for a green once she reaches adulthood. Her bone structure is unique from most dragons, however, in that she is a lot more bulky than many other greens, and this will make twists and turns extraordinarily difficult. The agility her color is known for will be startlingly absent in most of her flight patterns and it will take a ridiculous amount of dedication on the part of Hers for her to learn to fly properly at all. Constant training of her wings will be necessary for while they are large, they simply aren't built to maintain the bulk of her body. In short, the term 'chubby' will probably be slapped onto this green, and it would not be inaccurate - though it has little to do with her eating. Her entire body looks as though someone crunched her together; scrunched and awkward. Her tail, neck and legs follow the trend of being slightly too small for her bulk, giving her the strangest appearance of being egg-shaped when she's young, and for a green, she'll always be ... slow in movements. Simply strange. Whether this is a physical mutation or simply a quirk for Uminth is dependent on the eye of the beholder, though.
As a direct contrast to her so painstakingly strange build, Uminth's coloring is dazzling. Her hide is a backdrop of the darkest forest green imaginable, merely one or two shades off from black. Down the line of her backridges is a slightly lighter shade, like dense undergrowth in the jungles surrounding Selenitas. However, the most magnificent of her features are the almost leaf-like patterns that show over her wing sails when her wings are fully stretched. Elegantly patterned from the tip of her wings to where they connect to her body, the colors are a vivid lime green, as though someone took the time to carefully stitch the patterns and add prominence to her appearance. Similarly, leaf-like outlines in the same shade are visible around both of her eyes, from the ridges down over her face. The intricacy of her hide does not end in the constant blend of colors, however; when light dances off the darker skin, there is a distinctly lighter green sheen, leaving no doubt to what color she actually is.
Personality: Uminth is, simply put, an exceptionally bubbly dragon. Though her physical appearance will doubtlessly lead to teasing on the part of the more malicious of her kind, she has an indomitable spirit that will prevent her from getting down about the insults; shamelessly, she will approach any and every dragon she meets and chat them up as though she's known them all her life. Whether they are male or female is irrelevant, and she treats both the same - with the same insufferable cheer and what could easily be qualified as flirtatious behavior. Compliments like love, darling and gorgeous are not uncommon and will be frequently applied to rider and dragon alike; she has no problem lavishing affection on anyone around her, even those who are mean to her. While she's intelligent enough to recognize insults when they are thrown in her direction, she's simply impossible to offend. Why should she let it bother her that others are not as happy with the world as she is? It's ridiculously hard to make this green mad; some part of her even seems to lack in a temper at all and she possesses an unnaturally large tolerance for others. She likes other people and dragons, and she likes spreading her infectious cheer around and around. Let the whole world be as happy as she is!
However, despite her inherent cheer, one thing of note is that this green does have a few strange quirks - the most dominant of which will be her absolute terror of small places. Whether this terror manifests as anger, agitation, fear, or discomfort depends on the situation and the mood of her rider, but any time she's in cramped up quarters, she will panic. The proper term for this sensation will be claustrophobia and it will be up to Hers to keep her calm rather than have her panicking every time she so much as enters the Weyrling Barracks - or her weyr in adulthood. She requires an escape path at all times. As a hatchling it will not be strange for her to sneak out and sleep outside the barracks at night, which can lead to her getting into trouble from time to time. Being in trouble is one of the things that bothers her the most, too; any time she and hers are scolded, Uminth will most likely become exceptionally melancholy (for a short period of time; she can never stay upset long) and refuse to move, eat or sleep. Hers will have to teach her that this lethargic behavior is not appropriate, especially in minor situations.
Aside from that, she'll always be happy - happy around others, happy to be with hers, and happy to flirt. Unfortunately, the flirting applies to male and female dragons alike, although she'd never do anything so strange as chase another green. It's just her nature and she thinks she's being polite. There'll be no convincing her otherwise, either.

Name: Arcturius
Looks To: Kalina
Species: Fire Lizard
Color: Brown (#341500)
Age: Adult
Physical Appearance: This flitter makes up in sheer glamor what he lacks in originality. A rich shade of chocolate brown envelops his rather lithe frame from nose to tail. While this alone would be enough to make him undeniably handsome, his patterning is what truly catches the eye. Swirling against the dark surface of his hide are a multitude of tiny, creamy-white spots, arranged with the precision of a jewler to form an intricate, windblown pattern that is almost hypnotic in it's complexity. His eyes are rimmed with the same pale colour, adding an extra dose of intensity to whatever emotion he is feeling. His wingspan is rather average, save for the fact that the membrane is a dazzling shade of translucent gold. However, the transparent quality may be more to his disadvantage than his benefit, as careless flying runs the risk of him suffering terrible injuries to his wings.
Personality: Generally cool and analytical, this flitter looks down on everyone to some degree. The fact that he is extraordinarily attractive falls to the wayside of what he considers to be a boundless intellect. Indeed, this brown will pride himself on outwitting others, and His would be wise to ensure that he always has messenger and memorization work to keep him occupied. When he has nothing better to do, this brown will spend his time seeking out and insulting the intelligence of 'lesser creatures' such as greens, blues and salamandyrs. While not particularly cowardly, fighting is not something that he enjoys nor is very good at. A mind -most specifically a mind as beautiful as his- is a terrible thing to have bashed in. It goes without saying that this high and mighty brown will only chase queen flitters, but he is just inconsiderate enough to string along a pretty green when he needs his ego stroked.

Name: Raziel
Looks to: Kalina
Age: Adult
Gender: Male ( Brown #6E4538|# 855C59)
Species: Fire Lizard
Appearance: For the most part, this flitter’s hide is a smooth rosy brown. His coloring fades to a slightly paler shade of red brown as it moves toward his belly, giving him a handsome but not particularly uncommon two-tone effect. Contrasting his rather plain base colors are tiny speckles of crimson scattered randomly across his back, neck and tail. It would almost look as if he had been pricked many times with a needle were it not so obvious that he were a green-blooded fire lizard.
His wings are large and powerful in relation to his body, which on its own is nothing special. His size and build are rather typical of a brown fire lizard, and while his wings on their own would be fairly impressive, the fact that he knows exactly how to wield them makes him an even more outstanding flier. This flit does not simply rely on his natural instincts to carry him through the air. He works almost obscenely hard to maintain his strong flying muscles, tighten his turns and perfect his dives.
Personality: This flitter is the epitome of hard work and self-discipline. His days are as carefully planned and executed as wing maneuvers, and much of the time he is almost unnervingly calm and emotionless. There will be no provoking, manipulating or baiting this flitter into action. He prides himself on always being in complete control of his actions, and while he is more than willing to run errands and do favors for those he is close to, he absolutely refuses to be bullied by anyone.
It should be noted that this flit has a severe allergy to dust, and unkempt environments are sure to make him miserable. Using firestone will be awkward for him, as there is a chance that in chewing the stuff he will accidentally get a whiff of dust and either gag or unwittingly spit fire as he sneezes. This can be awkward, as one of the more peculiar quirks that this flit carries is that he is always in possession of a small amount of firestone, which he will either keep hidden in his bonded’s quarters, or swallowed and ready for use. It will not be uncommon to see this flit sneezing tiny bursts of flame at random when navigating a dusty environment.

Similarly, leaf-like outlines in the same shade are visible around both of her eyes, from the ridges down over her face. The intricacy of her hide does not end in the constant blend of colors, however; when light dances off the darker skin, there is a distinctly lighter green sheen, leaving no doubt to what color she actually is.
Personality: Uminth is, simply put, an exceptionally bubbly dragon. Though her physical appearance will doubtlessly lead to teasing on the part of the more malicious of her kind, she has an indomitable spirit that will prevent her from getting down about the insults; shamelessly, she will approach any and every dragon she meets and chat them up as though she's known them all her life. Whether they are male or female is irrelevant, and she treats both the same - with the same insufferable cheer and what could easily be qualified as flirtatious behavior. Compliments like love, darling and gorgeous are not uncommon and will be frequently applied to rider and dragon alike; she has no problem lavishing affection on anyone around her, even those who are mean to her. While she's intelligent enough to recognize insults when they are thrown in her direction, she's simply impossible to offend. Why should she let it bother her that others are not as happy with the world as she is? It's ridiculously hard to make this green mad; some part of her even seems to lack in a temper at all and she possesses an unnaturally large tolerance for others. She likes other people and dragons, and she likes spreading her infectious cheer around and around. Let the whole world be as happy as she is!
However, despite her inherent cheer, one thing of note is that this green does have a few strange quirks - the most dominant of which will be her absolute terror of small places. Whether this terror manifests as anger, agitation, fear, or discomfort depends on the situation and the mood of her rider, but any time she's in cramped up quarters, she will panic. The proper term for this sensation will be claustrophobia and it will be up to Hers to keep her calm rather than have her panicking every time she so much as enters the Weyrling Barracks - or her weyr in adulthood. She requires an escape path at all times. As a hatchling it will not be strange for her to sneak out and sleep outside the barracks at night, which can lead to her getting into trouble from time to time. Being in trouble is one of the things that bothers her the most, too; any time she and hers are scolded, Uminth will most likely become exceptionally melancholy (for a short period of time; she can never stay upset long) and refuse to move, eat or sleep. Hers will have to teach her that this lethargic behavior is not appropriate, especially in minor situations.
Aside from that, she'll always be happy - happy around others, happy to be with hers, and happy to flirt. Unfortunately, the flirting applies to male and female dragons alike, although she'd never do anything so strange as chase another green. It's just her nature and she thinks she's being polite. There'll be no convincing her otherwise, either.

Name: Arcturius
Looks To: Kalina
Species: Fire Lizard
Color: Brown (#341500)
Age: Adult
Physical Appearance: This flitter makes up in sheer glamor what he lacks in originality. A rich shade of chocolate brown envelops his rather lithe frame from nose to tail. While this alone would be enough to make him undeniably handsome, his patterning is what truly catches the eye. Swirling against the dark surface of his hide are a multitude of tiny, creamy-white spots, arranged with the precision of a jewler to form an intricate, windblown pattern that is almost hypnotic in it's complexity. His eyes are rimmed with the same pale colour, adding an extra dose of intensity to whatever emotion he is feeling. His wingspan is rather average, save for the fact that the membrane is a dazzling shade of translucent gold. However, the transparent quality may be more to his disadvantage than his benefit, as careless flying runs the risk of him suffering terrible injuries to his wings.
Personality: Generally cool and analytical, this flitter looks down on everyone to some degree. The fact that he is extraordinarily attractive falls to the wayside of what he considers to be a boundless intellect. Indeed, this brown will pride himself on outwitting others, and His would be wise to ensure that he always has messenger and memorization work to keep him occupied. When he has nothing better to do, this brown will spend his time seeking out and insulting the intelligence of 'lesser creatures' such as greens, blues and salamandyrs. While not particularly cowardly, fighting is not something that he enjoys nor is very good at. A mind -most specifically a mind as beautiful as his- is a terrible thing to have bashed in. It goes without saying that this high and mighty brown will only chase queen flitters, but he is just inconsiderate enough to string along a pretty green when he needs his ego stroked.

Name: Raziel
Looks to: Kalina
Age: Adult
Gender: Male ( Brown #6E4538|# 855C59)
Species: Fire Lizard
Appearance: For the most part, this flitter’s hide is a smooth rosy brown. His coloring fades to a slightly paler shade of red brown as it moves toward his belly, giving him a handsome but not particularly uncommon two-tone effect. Contrasting his rather plain base colors are tiny speckles of crimson scattered randomly across his back, neck and tail. It would almost look as if he had been pricked many times with a needle were it not so obvious that he were a green-blooded fire lizard.
His wings are large and powerful in relation to his body, which on its own is nothing special. His size and build are rather typical of a brown fire lizard, and while his wings on their own would be fairly impressive, the fact that he knows exactly how to wield them makes him an even more outstanding flier. This flit does not simply rely on his natural instincts to carry him through the air. He works almost obscenely hard to maintain his strong flying muscles, tighten his turns and perfect his dives.
Personality: This flitter is the epitome of hard work and self-discipline. His days are as carefully planned and executed as wing maneuvers, and much of the time he is almost unnervingly calm and emotionless. There will be no provoking, manipulating or baiting this flitter into action. He prides himself on always being in complete control of his actions, and while he is more than willing to run errands and do favors for those he is close to, he absolutely refuses to be bullied by anyone.
It should be noted that this flit has a severe allergy to dust, and unkempt environments are sure to make him miserable. Using firestone will be awkward for him, as there is a chance that in chewing the stuff he will accidentally get a whiff of dust and either gag or unwittingly spit fire as he sneezes. This can be awkward, as one of the more peculiar quirks that this flit carries is that he is always in possession of a small amount of firestone, which he will either keep hidden in his bonded’s quarters, or swallowed and ready for use. It will not be uncommon to see this flit sneezing tiny bursts of flame at random when navigating a dusty environment.
