KILLED IN THE SUBVERSION PLOT
Humans:
Name: Lura
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Hetero
Rank: Greenrider
Physical Appearance: Lura is willowy and tall, but is not muscular, fat, nor thin. She has very few curves, and her stomach is small enough so that she can wear shirts that reveal it without being overly uncomfortable. Her face is very sinister, with ruby red lips and thin, dark eyebrows curved into formidable arches. Her almond-shaped eyes are brown, and never have any warmth to them. One of her eyebrows once was pierced, as her ears currently are, but now there is just a long, white scar where that piercing once was. Her straight black hair is shorn to her ears, finding it easier for riding. ((To be edited someday. x.o))
Personality: Lura is as harsh as she is cunning- she is almost to the point of being cruel. She rarely shows compassion to anyone, not even her own twin. However, she isn’t selfish, but she doesn’t enjoy working for other people. So naturally, it astounded people that she wanted to become a dragonrider. She’s sarcastic and bitter, and rarely gives compliments. She is also quite intelligent, thinking up clever ideas where others would be stumped. The only bad part about that is that she is unwilling to share these ideas. She also appears to fear nothing, known for giving herself piercings and mingling with those of higher class. But she does actually have a fear of some things- bugs, for example, is something that has always terrified her. The rest just need to be discovered for themselves.
She has found out that she is capable of liking another person, and she is no stranger to what she calls “stupid womanly emotions.” However, she avoids them whenever she can, so whenever she is not yelling at them, she avoids the male sex completely. She did not want to seem “soft” by allowing herself to feel those emotions. However, now that she is with I'ir once more, she lets herself feel them- only when they are alone, though.
Is Lura capable of having a soft spot? Indeed she does! Her bright spot in her life is Liralla, who is her pride and joy. She protects her daughter with a passion, not wanting even the risk of harm coming to her. However, Lura is probably going to have to let her integrate into society more. She'll reluctantly supervise Liralla in the Creche so she can get to know other children, but Lura will make sure nobody tries doing anything stupid. If they do, they just might end up with a black eye.
Lura's maternal feelings are somewhat shocking. She acts as a mother figure to Beka, and let the girl live with her before she Impressed. Naturally, Lura will deny these sort of feelings, but they will shine through in the end. Her usually hard behavior leaves most people questioning, and the fact that she does have a grudging lump of kindness within her is mostly unknown by all.
History: Lura was born only minutes before her twin sister Lanine early on a winter morning. Her mane of dark hair in contrast to Lanine’s beautiful golden locks was a foreshadowing of the future as Lanine, the loved, and Lura, the shunned. Even in childhood, Lura sensed some sort of favoritism towards the blonde twin, so she drew attention to herself by always stirring up trouble. Through many tugs on her sister’s gorgeous hair, or biting people, or throwing food at the walls, Lura soon became the evil twin of the family.
Though Lanine did try to become close to her distant sister at many points in their childhoods, Lura always pushed her away. She wanted nothing to do with the apple of her parents’ eye. Eventually, Lanine gave up, though she still defended her sister whenever anyone talked down of her. But Lanine’s efforts were futile. Lura just never cared about what anyone else thought of her.
In her preteen Turns, she found Lanine’s dye that was used for her weavings. Putting it to her hair, she was amazed to see it totally bleached her hair. Becoming blonde in her own twisted way, she continued doing this until she became a candidate, where it was just too much of a hassle to do so. But it was during these years she began to drastically change her appearance. At 15 Turns, she drove a needle through her eyebrow, to the horror of her parents. For years, she wore it with a crude-looking barbell, along with other piercings that she has done. Remarkably, she has never had a single infection.
It was also around this age when she became obsessed with fire lizards. After months of dreaming, she somehow came to get two eggs by unknown means (many just assume that she stole them). These eggs hatched into the regal bronze Zamora and the idiotic brown Zanna.
Until she was Searched, she spent her time wandering the streets, often cooking up some trouble and stealing things. Even when her parents threatened to disown her, it didn’t bother her. In her eyes, she felt disowned already. So she continued her antics, until one day when Lanine tentatively announced her pregnancy.
All of a sudden, she didn’t feel alone in the outcasted world any more. Lanine, too, was shunned for becoming pregnant before marriage. Now no one would want to marry her- who would want to provide for a child that wasn’t theirs? However, Lura remained cold. This pregnancy just wanted Lura to be out of their cot a lot more often. She would often disappear for days at a time, only to reappear.
One day, when Lura was 18 turns, a few months after Lanine gave birth to Lil, dragons came to town. Amazingly, she was Searched. With no one to hold her back, she boldly went forth and accepted. As she packed for the Weyr, Lanine approached her, begging to be taken to the Weyr to hopefully give her daughter a new shot at life. Feeling pity for her twin, Lura relented, and convinced the dragonriders to bring her beautiful sister along as a weaver.
However, at Fort Weyr, Lura left her sister alone so she could make a name for herself among the candidates. Unfortunately, that name wasn’t a good one. She almost got herself kicked out of candidacy, but she managed to keep herself in her position long enough to Stand.
That Hatching sealed her fate. It was on her first try that a green dragon approached her, saying, You're Mine. and I'm Anemith. You'd better have something to eat. From that moment on, Lura finally felt like she belonged, and had a place at this Weyr that no one could take from her. True emotion also slowly began creeping into her system after that moment on the sands.
After Impression to Anemith, she soon Impressed a green flitter who she named Zirian. When the green flew for her first Flight, Lura, caught up in the emotions, slept with a man- I’ir- for the first time. Realizing to her horror that she actually liked him, she and I’ir kept this relationship a secret from the Weyrlingmaster, for what they were doing was strictly forbidden. Not that Lura cared; no one could kick her out from Weyrlinghood. However, it left an impression on Anemith anyway- Anemith flies more often than normal greens, which is now troublesome for Lura.
Though she hated to admit it, Lura was falling in love with I'ir. There was simply no other excuse Lura could use to explain herself about this, so she secretly admitted in her mind that she was falling in love with him. However, how was she to be able to share this information with him without sounding stupid? This left Lura's mind in turmoil, desperate to want him to know how she felt, yet unable to admit it out loud.
After his graduation, Lura was just summoning up the courage to ask if they should be weyrmates when I'ir abruptly announced that he needed to help his ailing sister- at Benden. Absolutely heartbroken now, Lura found herself tossed into a chaotic sea from which she could not escape. Anemith's frequent Flights and Flights her flitters were involved in ended horrificly- within a week, she found herself in furs twice- one alone, and the other with three other men.
As if the fates had chosen to curse her alone, Lura found herself pregnant. Unsure if the father of this child was her beloved I'ir or any of the four strange men, she soon spiraled into a deep depression that lasted most of her pregnancy. Since contact with Benden was strictly forbidden, she didn't dare send a message by flitter. However, she had no desire to anyway- if I'ir had found out she had slept with four men so soon after their relationship was over, he would hate her.
Lanine, who had Impressed at the hatching after Lura's, tried her best to comfort her sister, and conviced her that being at Fort was not doing anything for her, and that perhaps she should transfer to Selenitas. Having no will to argue, the twins and Lanine's own daughter packed their bags and headed to Selenitas by Flying straight- seeing as Lura was already at her eighth month.
However, it was here that I'ir and Lura were reunited. It took a while, but they finally managed to figure out that they were still in love with each other. I'ir agreed to raise the child as his own, whatever the outcome, and they Joined, even though it was unorthodox of dragonriders to do so.
A mere couple sevendays after arrival, Lura gave birth to the babe she was carrying. It was a girl, and the two mixed their names to name her Liralla, claiming her as belonging to both of them even if her father wasn't truly I'ir. Each day, Liralla seems to be taking the appearance as Lura's child, but not exactly of I'ir. Lura desperately still tries viewing I'ir as the biological father, but it is hard to do so with Liralla's peculiar silvery blue eyes.
Lanine and Lil soon returned to Fort, with Lanine having fallen in love with a man there that she could simply not stay away from. Last Lura has heard, Lanine was pregnant again, but with tension increasing between all the Weyrs, their contact has been minimal.
After a few months, Lura's motherly instincts prevailed again in the forming of helping out a troubled girl named Beka. The girl lived with her and I'ir until the girl's Impression, but Lura is making sure to keep a careful eye on her.
And now, Anemith is preparing to Fly again, only she is still angry at Corth for Chasing someone else's green, and an angry Anemith is one that is to be treated with all caution... Will she let the brown she is furious at Catch her, or will Lura be thrown into another pit of despair?
Dragons:
Name: Anemith
Color: Green
Age: 4
Physical Appearance: Anemith is a bright green, and fairly small in size compared to most greens. She is a sturdily built creature, who thinks trying to look nice and thin is a waste of time. She prefers muscles over “dumb looking wraith-like greens.” Her wings are strong, capable of beating large rushes of wind and giving her more endurance in the air. She is well-proportioned, with her muscles all relatively similar looking, and not too large for her small body. However, her tail is long and skinny, the only part of her that looks misshaped.
Personality: This green is quite brave and daring, although she has a sharp tongue and often is mistaken for being catty. She also can be very amused at her rider’s expense, encouraging her rider to let herself enjoy any emotions she has. She is also very strong, able to keep in the sky longer than most greens. This is a helpful asset, seeing as she flies very often, and needs as much endurance as she can to keep up with it.
Fire Lizard:
Name: Zamora
Color: Bronze
Age: 6
Physical Appearance: Zamora is pretty large, but still within reason for bronzes. He also has a greenish tinge to his dark-colored hide, but not enough to make him mistaken for a lowly green. His hide is metallic, shining when exposed to a proper amount of sun. He preens a lot, showing off how bronze he is, trying to attract females with it.
Personality: Zamora is more composed than Zanna, usually spending his time sitting majestically on Lura’s shoulder. However, he does participate in his share of mischief- it isn’t uncommon to find he has stolen things from other people. He is also very full of himself, enjoying to preen himself and bossing the other "dumber" flitters around. He is a bronze, and he knows it- if anyone was to question his authority, they'd be knocked into their place. No one questions him.
Fire Lizards:
Name: Zanna
Color: Brown
Age: 6
Physical Appearance: Zanna is a light, chocolate brown. His color is perfect, a soft shade of this brown that he pulls off very well. It always feels warm, even if he hasn't seen the sun in days, making him perfect for cuddling with whenever it is cold. If anything, his tail is longer than most, and it is mostly used for wrapping around necks whenever he sits on shoulders.
Personality: Zanna is so flamboyant and happy and outgoing that it drives Lura absolutely insane. It is often because of Zanna that Lura ends up still socializing with other people- he has a terrible habit of being way too friendly with people. Sometimes he will go so far as to try snuggle with others, but Lura will kill him whenever he tries to do so. Not that this will stop him, however- if anyone shows him kindness, they are instantly a new friend and will be showered with attention from this brown flitter. Unfortunately, he is also quite stupid- if one were to ever guess that a flitter had flown into a wall, you can count on Zanna to get the job done.
Fire Lizards:
Name: Zirian
Color: Green
Age: 3 and a half
Physical Appearance: Zirian is a dark moss green, her shading varying into slightly darker splotches here and their. Her maw is mildly lighter than the rest of her, but she takes no notice of it, but it does give her the appearance that she is always looking up in distaste. She is small and compact, but her tail firm in steering- particularly in Flights.
Personality: This green is very pushy, never taking "no" for an answer. She is highly intelligent and bullies other flitters into doing things for her, no matter the color. She is very fiery and loses her temper easily. Of all the flitters, Zirian matches Lura's personality better than both Zanna and Zamora. Her spot of choice is Lura's left shoulder, surveying everything with a wary, irritated eye.
