Weyrlingmaster
NAME: Alysha
RANK: Wingrider, Queens' Wing
AGE IN TURNS: 48 (Birth Turn: 2942)
FAMILY: Father, Teylan
Mother, Lesha (Deceased)
Brother, Aetyn
Weyrmate, T'iron

Son, T'lyron (Talyron)
Daughter, Alein

DRAGON: Gold Talenth (Colour=f4e290)
DRAGON'S AGE: 31 Turns
*DRAGON APPEARANCE: Though a queen, Talenth is built more like an overly-large green, barely reaching the size of a medium-sized bronze (about 37' in length). Everything about this girl is slim and lithe, from her narrow wedge-shaped head to her arched neck, slender limbs to her narrow waist. Wings and tail are the only things on her that aren't delicate. Her wings are nearly twice her body length, roughly 70', and quite narrow, built more for speed and agility than endurance. Her tail is long and muscled, the tip appearing more like a whip.

Besides her build, there are a few other distinguishing features about Talenth that not many have. Scars, for one, and these aren't thread scores, these scars are the result of talons meeting flesh. They appear as ghostly-gray marks against her gold hide.
Her left eye has been rendered completely useless from scarring, that starts about mid-muzzle and extends to just below her jawline. There are also large ragged gashes spanning from her shoulders to about mid ribcage, on both sides. These are paired with almost identical scars, only starting at her hip joints and going about a quarter length down her tail. She also has a few freckled down the length of her back, but these are hard to see unless you know where to look. Her right wing-sail has also been torn, but you wouldn't know this unless you looked closely.

Another odd feature is her colouring. Her hide is a soft sandy-gold, which fades to an almost brownish-gold as it reaches the points of her tail and wings, and the tips of her limbs and muzzle. Her headknobs are also touched with this darker gold, though it's not as obvious.

*DRAGON'S PERSONALITY: A soft hide with a soft personality to match. Talenth is a total sweetheart, but is easily stressed. She would prefer to avoid any and all conflicts if at all possible and simply curl on her couch until it has all blown over. However, like anyone else, if pushed too far she will snap. Hard. When angered, anyone who attempts to calm her can and usually will become the new focus of her rage, and it never ends well. This is about the only time she will enforce her authority as a dragon queen, and anyone who even thinks of disobeying her will wish they'd never been hatched.
Like your typical queen, Talenth detests having other females around when she is about to rise. She also has no problem attacking and/or killing said female, whether they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time or not. Greens are not exempt from this rule, either. It doesn't matter what colour she is, if Talenth sees another female as she's about to rise, she has no issues with beating her until she takes the hint and leaves. Or dies. Whichever happens first.

FLITT: Blue Daze Posted Image
*FLITT'S AGE: 21 Turns
*FLITT DESCRIPTION: Daze is inch for inch exactly what a blue flitt should look like; long, stream-lined body; slender neck; wedge-shaped head; thin but defined legs with small paws; a long whip-like tail and large, broad wings, perfect for soaring. His eyes are large and expressive, and his headknobs are short and thin. His neck ridges are also a little longer than a typical lizard's. And despite his love of food, he is rather trim.

About the only odd thing about Daze is his colouration. His body is a solid, dusky blue, while his snout, eye ridges, spine, paws and tail tip are of a much paler hue.

*FLITT'S PERSONALITY: As his name suggests, Daze is more than a little ditzy, and incredibly forgetful. He spends his days seemingly lost in space, and it takes a lot to capture his attention. And even when it is caught, it's hard to keep it. About the only thing that can capture Daze's complete and total attention is food, at which time he will attach himself to you like glue and never leave you alone until his belly is about twice the size it should normally be.

APPEARANCE: Aly is fairly tall for a girl, topping the charts at around 5'11. At one point, before the plague, her body was almost hour-glass shape. Now she's skinny, bordering on anorexic. Her face, though slimmer, is still soft in appearance, just a touch pointier. Her arms and legs are slender and refined, though too thin, but her hands are still how they once were; bony, yet delicate, and calloused from hard work at the Weyr. Her ribs and hips, however, are somewhat visible through her skin if her shirt were to be lifted. But you wouldn't know any of this, as the girl tends to dress in three to four layers to keep herself warm in the frigid climate. Her raven black hair is shorter than it used to be. Where it once flowed to her hips, it now brushes the bottom of her shoulder blades, and is a touch wavier due to the shortness. Her fringe is also short and side-swept to the right. Her eyes, however, are for the most part the same as they have been since she was born - a deep shade of emerald green. However, they now have a haunted look to them.

Despite what people may think, this is the healthiest she's been in Turns.

EDUCATION/SKILLS: Aly can both read and write, thanks to the teachings of the Weyr's former harper, and she is quite happy to say that her handwriting is rather elegant. However her math skills are a little lacking.

PERSONALITY: At one point, Alysha was a fairly cheerful girl, if a little shy. When around those that had befriended her, she was always smiling, always laughing, and nothing could get her down. But over the Turns, the plague, and not to mention a savage attack by another queen, caused Aly's personality to take a downward spiral. Now, if she doesn't know you, her mouth will remain sealed shut. Not a word will be spoken until she feels comfortable around you, and that is a very slow process, taking at least a sevenday to achieve. And even after she feels comfortable, she will speak very little and smile even less. Unless, of course, you're T'iron. Or she's near T'iron. Or she just happens to be in a random good mood.
*FAULTS: Doesn't open up easily; Cannot accept help gracefully; First impressions are everything.
*STRENGTHS: An exceptional listener; Loyal to her Weyr.
*FEARS: Losing Talenth or T'iron.
*ASPIRATIONS: To break down the barriers that have been put up since she fell sick and her dragon was attacked.

*HISTORY: Alysha's life growing up was fairly typical. Eat, work, learn, sleep, rinse and repeat. This is how her life had been for fourteen Turns, and would have continued on this way, with the added "bonus" of a husband somewhere along the way, had a green rider not come to her tiny Hold on Search. At first the green's rider had rebuked what his dragon said; that the girl was rider material and had to come with them back to Equinox. But soon he gave in to the green's incessant badgering. So, her parent's dreams now crushed but her own flying sky high, the girl mounted behind the rider and headed for her new life.

Upon arrival, Aly quickly found out that Weyr life wasn't all fun and games. But then, she was accustomed to work, so she took it in stride and adapted as fast as any Holdbrat would. And there was an added bonus which made it even easier to adjust. She finally had a friend. His name was Teiron, and as luck would have it, the two of them Impressed at the same hatching. Aly to her golden Talenth, and Teiron, now T'iron, to his brown Chairoth. As their training started, their friendship continued to grow into what the girl almost considered love, but it was not to be. Three Turns after Impression, a plague ravaged the Weyr, killing a queen rider pair and infecting Aly in the process. The moment the girl was able to walk, Aly and T'iron were transferred out, to spare them from any relapses that could possibly happen. Their destination was Muzui Weyr.

As the pair of riders popped out of between and started their new life at the Weyr, Alysha settled in to continue her healing. Though, like everything else in her life, this was not to last. A Turn and a half after their arrival at Muzui, Alysha about as healthy as she would ever get, Talenth rose to mate. At that time, the resident Weyrqueen, Okaneth was also ready to fly. The fight that ensued was catastrophic, for both Akalla, Okaneth's rider, and her Weyr, and Alysha herself. Okaneth was ultimately killed by Talenth, though her dragon didn't come out of the fight unscathed. As Talenth returned to the earth, all thoughts of flight forgotten, it was obvious just how bad the fight had been. The queen had terrible gashes along her sides and tail, even her wing sail had been torn. But the worst injury was to her face. Vicious lacerations covered her left eye, rendering it completely useless.

Not long after Okaneth's death, Akalla committed suicide, and then it began. The Weyr rose up against the forced leadership of this cowardly, to them, queen rider pair. They felt that the flight had been rigged, that Alysha had forced her dragon to rise up with the other queen and fight her, when it had really just been an unfortunate accident that could not have been avoided. But no, they wouldn't see it this way. By now, T'iron had returned to Equinox, and Alysha had no one but herself and her badly injured dragon. So they fled to the outskirts of the Weyr, giving up all of the imposed authority that she hadn't even wanted. It took well over a Turn for the rider pair to completely heal, Talenth of her physical injuries, Alysha of her mental wounds. But once healing was complete, they fled the Weyr, which fell apart not long after their departure.

Now, they make their way back to their home Weyr of Equinox, the battle a lingering reminder of what can happen when two queens rise at the same time. The scars marking the hide of her beloved dragon a constant reminder that it truly did happen, that it hadn't been a bad dream. As they approached the Weyr for what Alysha hoped to be the last time, the girl couldn't help but worry that her welcome here would be the same as her departure from Muzui - shadowed with fear and hate. But it would seem that her worst fears were not to be. Upon the gold pair's arrival home, the feelings the young woman once felt for T'iron reemerged and began to bloom, until a night a heated passion forced them into the open. Now, months later, the rewards of that night are most evident in the form of a rather swollen belly, and a new fear has entered the young rider's mind; with how weak and sickly she's been, will her child survive to term and be born happy and healthy, or will it die in the womb, taking her with them?


Timeskip Info:
Alysha has been of ill health, seldomly seen beyond her weyr.
