Humans:
[/center]Name: Ilena
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Rank: Greenrider/Searchrider
Physical Appearance:
Ilena, in looks, is pretty much the exact opposite of her sister. Having thick, dark brown locks that never frizz, and turns out to be the easiest thing to work with, she is not really the prettiest one in the world, but their mother’s good looks rubbed off on her, as well. She has blue eyes, although they aren’t simple. Ilena has strange eyes, with large pupils and almost no white space, although it doesn’t look strange on her. In fact, she looks natural with her eyes, until you look even closer to see a hint of red at the very middle of the pupil.
Ilena has such smooth, milky skin that you would have to figure that she goes into the sun only enough to keep an even tan over it, and only that much. However, her sunburned ears prove otherwise. Her ears and nose have always been quite sensitive to the sun, Rukbat, and she doesn’t care. Really doesn’t.
Small hands and feet apparently run in her mother’s side of the family, for Ilena as well as Iydan have them, and they certainly don’t have the same father. If anything, Ilena is slimmer than her sister, although the muscles on her arms are a bit larger, though on her legs they are smaller.
Ilena is a bit womanly, preferring to wear breeches that are so wide it looks as though she is wearing skirts. She tends to go towards the more mellow colors, not really an attention seeker, more of the natural tones such a light brown or a green. However, it is still a rare occasion, in deed, to see her in actual skirts. It isn’t as though she dislikes skirts or other womanly garments, she just doesn’t like the confinement they offer.
Personality:
Ilena isn’t very trusting, having to have met a person many times before and had a couple in-depth conversations with them before she actually considers anyone a friend or an enemy. This even applied to her little half-sister, Iydan, once. Although, how she had in-depth conversations when you’re five, with an infant is way beyond anything that any Pernese has probably ever seen.
Not liking to get in fights, it isn’t that Ilena is afraid of getting hurt; she just doesn’t see the need to intervene. However, is perfectly capable and happy to get into debates, not being the most soft-spoken person around. Very verbal, when she does intervene, if she does so in the beginning of a fight it is stopped in its tracks, as her voice is smooth and full of honey, good for minor manipulation such as that and flirtation.
She is very flirtatious, one reason she is a greenrider, and she blames it on spending time with their mother. She has never found a weyrmate, as her dragon is as flirtatious as she, but she isn’t a fan of waking next to a new man every flight. Still, Ilena isn’t particularly worried about it, unless she doesn’t know the man. Then, well, her dragon, his dragon, and he himself had better watch out. She doesn’t take kindly to lying with a man who she doesn’t trust.
Ilena isn’t the most optimistic person around, although she isn’t exactly pessimistic, either. She just doesn’t always look at the brighter side of life. It isn’t one of her better qualities, to be sure, but it makes Ilena Ilena.
History:
Ilian was such a flirtatious girl, flitting from man to man, and once she got what she wanted moving on. She had gotten pregnant once, and each time she brought the children with her, giving her off to a family for a night. However, she was quite attached to her child – a baby girl, named Ilena – and always picked her up to move again after she finished with yet another man.
Ilena grew, until she was about 5 Turns old, her bond with her flirtatious mother growing greatly until they were the main people in one another’s lives. Still, Ilian could not live without those men in her life, although it slowly plagued Ilena’s. One night, while they were on the road, going to a new hold, she observed that her mother was having problems with her stomach, until Ilian finally convulsed, discarding the small breakfast from her already frail body. However, neither even guessed that it was morning sickness. Arriving at the healer days later, it came as a surprise to only each other that Ilian was once again pregnant.
Only a few short months later, Ilian gave birth to another baby girl, whom she named Iydan. It took a few months until Ilena began to love her little half-sister, however as she was just an infant, and she was just 5 turns in age, their bond was not strong at all. However, as Iydan slowly reached reached 5, and Ilena 10, their mother grew sick. She no longer took as much interest in males, although she was still considered young, and was quite beautiful. It was a sickness she could not shake, and within yet another turn, Ilena and Iydan were left without a mother or a father.
Despite their different fathers, their different ages, the two sisters grew very close. Thankfully, they were stationed in a hold at the time, and they continued to live there until, one day, Iydan was Searched. She left her sister and was taken to some weyr by a blue searchdragon, who was absolutely positive that she would impress queen. Although there was currently no queen egg on the sands, Ilena heard that her sister did indeed Stand
That was the last she ever heard of her sister, much to her distress. But survival at the hold continually got harder without someone to support or to lean on, like she had been able to do with her sister. Thankfully, turn or two later, another Searchdragon came through, claiming her for Selenitas. Ilena went, hoping to find her sister, but when she got there; she was no where to be found.
So the young girl chose to Stand, a little unsure of what all would come from it. She didn’t even know if she wanted to be a dragonrider. But then a larger green stumbled across her path and all her uncertainties disappeared. Ilena. Come feed your Opeith, now, please! She hungers, greatly. the jovial, if a bit demanding voice rang in her ears.
As she led her wonderful green off of the sands, leaving her slightly crestfallen sister behind, the happiness of her own impression was slightly erased. She still didn’t know where her sister was, but she had a new family.
Her family continued to grow when she found an already hatching clutch on the sands of the river. Half of the flitts had already turned on one another, but Ilena managed to save the last to hatch; the gold. Sunlit added into their family nicely, even if her and Opeith had their little philosophical differences in the beginning. They both learned that “sharing was caring.”
Dragons/Whers/Fire Lizards:
Name: Opeith
Color: Green
Age: 5 Turns
Physical Appearance:
Having a light green bottom coat, Opeith is a variety of greens, although her main color is the lighter green. Still, her neck has a large splotch of forest green, and her tail is a pale green. Her hide is such a variety of hues, it is really amusing. As one of the larger greens of Pern, she is only a bit smaller than one of the smallest blues.
Personality:
About as flirtatious as her rider, Opeith flits from blue to brown, and occasionally to a bronze, but mainly sticking to the agile blues. She is pretty demanding, although she acknowledges rank greatly, the only exception being ‘those pesky golds’. She, like most greens, dislikes the company of golds, but will put up with it if it is necessary. She is a also a very good Search dragon.
Dragons/Whers/Fire Lizards:
Name: Sunlit
Color: Gold
Age: 3 Turns
Physical Appearance:
A bright gold, she almost looks like she's on the edge of Flying all the time. Her hide is bright and healthy, though she's a little small for her color. Her eyes are constantly spinning quickly, usually a curious violet
Personality:
Sunlit can be very overbearing, but she’s calmed down a lot from how she was for her first turn. She has very interesting habits when it comes to Flying. She’s usually Caught by browns and has very small clutches. Even when the occasional bronze Flies her, she still has never had a clutch larger than twelve eggs. When it comes to Hers, she’s very protective of her and has a hard time making friends with anyone else. She very rarely puts up with any other humans, though she has been known to make friends with their flitts.
