Name: Leibhra
Gender: Female
Age: 36
Birthdate (Season): Fall
Location: Southern Hold, then Honshu Weyrhold, now Quindell Weyr
Rank: Weyrlingmaster
Wing (if applicable): Sky Dreamers Wing
Family: Father-Brenner, Journeyman Farmer, deceased
Mother-Leidria, Greenrider, 58
Brother-Br'dan, Redrider/Journeyman Miner, 31
Physical Appearance: Leibhra is not very tall, but she is quite thin, and though perfectly healthy, still tends to have people telling her to eat more. She is not a complete twig, though; she's an active person and fit, so she has some muscles on her. Her features are considered rather plain and she never attracted a whole lot of attention from guys; her face is round, with wide amber-brown eyes and a small mouth.
Her skin's well-tanned and somewhat dark, if not as dark as some people--a sort of light, caramel brown. She has acquired several scars over the years from dragonriding-related accidents. Her hair is a rich, glossy black, but it's cut very short, more in a man's haircut than any feminine style. It's easier to care for and doesn't get in her way.
Personality: Leibhra has always been a very independent person, not the type to respond well to authority. She is more of a free spirit, preferring to be on her own. She dislikes being in large groups, but she can deal with it if she has to. At those times, she would much rather be the one in charge, though, rather than follow the orders of someone else. Lei is relatively introverted, but still doesn't like to be entirely alone. She doesn't always feel the need to talk to people, but she does get lonely sometimes, and she is never rude.
Lei may not be all that outgoing, but she is friendly once she gets used to someone. She is an exceedingly cheerful and optimistic person who doesn't get upset or annoyed easily--a useful trait when working with weyrlings. She does enjoy being around children, both of the human and dragon persuasion, though she has resigned herself to the fact that, if she hasn't had any by now, she's not likely to have any kids of her own.
Leibhra doesn't care much for appearances, preferring to judge people based on their merits, and she doesn't much care about how people judge her, either. She is a bit of a tomboy, very active and athletic; she is quite competitive as well and enjoys making contests and games out of chores. She is not only brave, but daring to the point of recklessness. While she has a good deal of self-confidence, it rarely turns into arrogance.
History: When Leidria married her childhood sweetheart, she didn't ask or expect anything more than being a wife and mother while helping to tend their small plot of land. That ideal fell apart shortly after the honeymoon, however, when the twenty-turn-old attended a hatching at a nearby Weyrhold and inadvertently Impressed a green dragon. The next two turns were hard as they adjusted, but Leidria saw no reason that having a dragon should keep her from her husband and farm. A makeshift weyr was set up at their home, and the dragon and rider supplemented the household income with dragon-back travel fare in between working the farm.
Leibhra was their first child, and she was born about six months after her mother had finished her weyrling training. Her brother Brenndan was born when Leibhra was five. Having grown up around their mother's dragon, both children were dragon-obsessed from a young age, dreaming of being searched themselves for a Weyr or Weyrhold's clutch. For Leibhra's fifteenth birthday, she received a fire lizard egg which hatched into a green, named Zula. It wasn't exactly a dragon, but it was close, and just a turn later she was searched by riders from the nearest Weyrhold.
It had only been a few turns since the mutations had started to appear, and though the gold's clutch had hatched just under a turn ago, the clutch currently on the sands was one of the first from a red with fertile eggs. She didn't expect much from that hatching, with only two eggs cracking come Hatching day, but a green and black both hatched successfully and searched for their riders. Leibhra favored the green at first, remembering her own mother's dragon, but it was the black that picked her out of the group of candidates, insisting not only that his name was Sevarth, but she was his now, and more importantly, he was a tirchid, not a black! The latter became a bit of a sticking point throughout their weyrling training, but Leibhra took it in good stride.
Once they graduated, they immediately left the Weyrhold where Sevarth was hatched and struck out on their own, selling their skills and services for marks to earn their wage. They did well on their own, and Sevarth would probably have continued to thrive alone, but Lei eventually found herself getting restless from the loneliness. Leibhra purchased another fire lizard egg, a rather larger one that hatched bronze Muire, but the flitter only eased the loneliness for a little while. Lei and Sevarth ended up moving to Quindell Weyr eight turns ago, and in order to avoid ending up in the wings, she took a job that was more to her liking, as the weyrlingmaster's assistant. The Weyrlingmaster retired three turns later, and since then, Lei and Sevarth have been the Weyrlingmasters for Quindell Weyr.
Pets
Name: Muire
Species: Fire lizard
Gender: Male
Age: 10
Color: Bronze
Physical Appearance: Muire is a big and bulky bronze, somewhat slow in the air but powerful and enduring. He has a short, stumpy-shaped body and large, wide wings. His hide is a bright, orange-bronze shade which pales to a lighter golden-bronze along the edges of his wingsails. His hide darkens to a deep bronze color on his hind legs, and slightly on his front claws, as well as the majority of his tail.
Personality: Keen and intelligent, Muire is a fast learner and picks up on new things quickly. He likes to work and is quite a helpful flitter, just restless and energetic enough to be put to good use. He is somewhat solitary, but not as much as Zula, and he is actually quite friendly towards humans and other flits.
Name: Zula
Species: Fire lizard
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Color: Green
Physical Appearance: Zula is a rather small fire lizard, even for a green, but she is fast and tricky, with a long, low-slung body. Her hide is a deep, forest green, except for irregular blotches of pale grey-green all along her back and sides, and smaller speckles on her wingsails of the same color.
Personality: A clever and mischievous little green, Zula loves to have a good time and has long harbored a love for shiny, interestingly-shaped objects. She doesn't care much for other fire lizards, though, and she avoids them with the exception of mating flights. She has even less in the way of maternal instincts than most greens; it is not unusual for her to forget about a clutch as soon as she's laid it.
Dragon
Name: Sevarth
Color: Tirchid (or black)
Size: 22 feet
Age: 20
Physical Appearance: Sevarth is a long and slender dragon, slim and light in build, with strong, slender limbs. His wings are slightly stunted, but not so much that they affect his flight much; he's a bit of a clumsy flier, but not dangerously so. His hide is largely a medium black, though a paler, bronze-tinged grey covers his underside, extending all the way down to the tip of his tail and covering his claws as well.
Personality: Sevarth is an arrogant dragon, just a bit full of himself, and a bit spoiled as well. He always wants to get his own way and doesn't respond well to authority; he was a troublemaker during his own weyrling days and has little patience for similar troublemakers now. He is exceedingly proud of what he is, and he insists on being referred to as a tirchid instead of a black. He gets quite snippy about it when he's in a bad mood.
Sevarth is introverted and very much a loner. He has never worked well with other adult dragons and never joined a wing. Though he's not thrilled to be working with weyrlings, he handles it better than he would flying in a wing. Since he doesn't get along with many other dragons, he was happy to be a loner, and he enjoys the traveling as well, though he'll admit it's nice being able to stay in one place for a while too. Sevarth is also highly intelligent and a quick thinker, but he's rather lacking in patience when others aren't as quick to pick up on things as he is.
