DIED OF SOUTHERN FEVER EPIDEMIC
Humans:
Name: Sikowy
Age: 18
Gender: female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Rank: Weyrling/Journeywoman Healer
Physical Appearance: Sikowy is a petite young woman. She stands at only five feet tall, and she has a very slender build. She has few curves to speak of, with a flat chest and a bum that is only moderately round. However, there is still no way she could pass as a boy, with her delicate, feminine face. Sikowy is often called "cute," or "pixie-like," terms she hates because she translates them into immaturity, but she definitely has a youthful appearance.
Sikowy has black hair that she keeps short, in the style of the dragonriders. She usually doesn't like it to get much longer than her shoulders, for convenience's sake. Her eyes are a rather unremarkable dark brown. Like many Pernese, she has a darker skin tone.
She loves to wear skirts and dresses if the occasion arises, but if she is working, then she feels that she has to wear pants. Sikowy also has a weakness for jewelery. Her favorite piece is a pewter heart on a leather thong that her mother gave her before she left for the Healer Hall.
Personality: Sikowy is an unflinching optimist. Even when times are hard and it seems like everything is set against her, she believes that things will get better. In her mind, a bit of hard work and determination will fix even the most complicated problem. Along those same lines, she is very stubborn, and once she decides that she is going to do something, it is very difficult to discourage her.
While Sikowy can be very serious about her work, she has a great sense of humor about most things. Besides hard work, the other thing that can improve a tough situation is a joke. She is not above a harmless prank every now and then, as long as no one is hurt, and she likes to banter back and forth with her friends.
When a friend is feeling down, Sikowy is always there trying to cheer them up with whatever it takes: funny faces, advice, or just a shoulder to cry on. She is a Healer at heart, and she loves to help people. She doesn't like to see someone hurt, whether physically or mentally, and she believes that it is her sacred duty as a Healer to help make them feel better. She is especially interested in the way emotions are tied to illness and pain, and how just talking to someone can be almost as good as medicine sometimes.
History: Sikowy was born in a small cothold near Lemos. Her father died when she was young, and she and her brother Wissen were raised mostly by their mother. Despite the difficulties of having a single mother, the family was still fairly well off because her father's family helped support her mother.
As she neared apprenticeship age, Sikowy knew that she wanted to choose a Craft. She already knew that she wanted to help people, so she decided to become a Healer apprentice, and was sent to the Hall with the help of her father's family. At the age of thirteen, she left for the Healer Hall. Meanwhile, Wissen had been Searched, and he Impressed a green dragon.
Sikowy loved being an apprentice, and she was happier at the Hall than she had ever been before. She thought she wanted to stay there for her whole life. That was, until W'sen invited her to Benden Weyr for a visit. She fell in love with the Weyr right away, and started thinking about becoming a Weyrhealer.
To her delight, she was assigned to the Weyr when she received her journeyman knots. After a few sevendays at the Weyr, she began to narrow her interests. She was intrigued by mindhealing and how it applied to dragonriders. She started thinking about becoming a Mindhealer specifically for dragonriders, to help them deal with the horrors of Thread and other such difficulties.
However, the longer she stayed at the Weyr, the more she saw problems. She was treated badly because of her gender on a daily basis, and when she requested candidacy, she was denied because there was no Gold egg on the sands. She was appalled by the way her brother and his weyrmate, T'nol, were treated. Every day, she got more and more fed up with Benden's politics, and she began to rethink her decision.
Then, tragedy struck. T'nol's Brown was killed during a routine Wing training. Sikowy was sure that it was no accident. She was enraged, and knew for sure that she could no longer stand Benden. W'sen thought that it would be best to have Tenol move somewhere else, and when he suggested that he and Sikowy move South, she agreed readily. She found Tenol a home at Blossom Hold and then moved on to Selenitas Weyr herself, ready for a new life.
Dragon Name: Linoth
Dragon Color: Green
Dragon Age: Hatchling
Appearance: Appearance: Linoth looks like she is a piece of Seaweed that was pulled from the depths of the ocean on accident. Light metallic green lines are thrown haphazardly all over her petite body, as if they were hundreds of old scars, and start from the tip of her nose to the tip of her tail. There is one spot that none of these paper thin lines dare not to trespass, the area around where a dragon's ears should be, if they had them. The hide in these particular spots are softer and more sensitive that any other area of her body, showing Linoth can not hear anything that isn't said to her mentally. Completely deaf to anything outside of mind to mind chatter, the small green will only ever be able to hear when sight and sense sharing with her mine. Although as with her clutchbrother Benath, she never lets this disability get her down.
Personality: Linoth is really sensitive and emotional, like a sponge she absorbs the emotions of others. This green is easily upset and very vulnerable emotionally, she tends to become sad often, especially when her feelings are hurt. Linoth loves to be surrounded by upbeat dragons and people, in that environment she is at her absolute best. She is very helpful and understanding of the needs of others, but sometimes this can be a disadvantage, since she is a sucker for anyone who needs help. Shy, dreamy, and romantic are a few words that describe Linoth's nature, and she love's retreating into her own little private fantasy world. Its a place that she goes when she is sad or when she is in need of some sort of comfort, the female only ever share's any knowledge of this small escape to her closest friends. Her make believe world is sometimes so appealing that it's hard for her to return to the cruel real world, only her Mine is able to draw her back without fail.
Submissive and loving, she absolutely adores her mine and loves everything about them. Linoth is also often restless, and is easily bored because of her short attention span. Her emotions change rapidly and she enjoys talking about her feelings, and of course, everyone else's too. Linoth has attached herself to Zorith, and she believes without a doubt he is her protector.
