WEYRWOMAN AMALLIA

Persona : Amallia
Writing Status : PC/Active
Age : 32
Gender : Female
Rank/Craft : Weyrwoman
Residence : Thread's End Weyr

Physical Description : Amallia is tall for a woman, six feet and mostly arms and legs, something she laments to great length when trying to obtain clothing that fits. Growing up she was gangly, with knobby knees and a lack of grace to go with them, but almost twenty Turns of dragonriding have toned and shaped her muscles so that now she is athletically slender. However, only slightly more graceful. Hair the color of sunshine is cut just below the shoulder in layers to keep it reasonably short for helmet wear but still able to be arranged when the occasion calls for it. Her eyes are a gray-blue, comparable to the sea on a stormy day, set in an oval face above a nose that is just a smidgeon too large for it. Not considered a great beauty she is attractive enough but when she smiles her whole face lights up, transforming simple to spectacular.

Personality : Reserved and polite, she isn't one to actively search out others to become acquainted with, instead waiting for others to make any overtures of friendship. Once a relationship is formed she is a steadfast friend, ready to help when needed, with a shoulder to cry on or a sarcastic comment to garner a smile. Obsessed with her duty, she is a meticulous record keeper and list maker, which helps her juggle the many tasks that she takes on, certain that any help she might receive is a sign that she has failed in her work ethic. Neat and organized almost to a fault, she often begins to stress when things aren't exactly as she thinks they should be.

Life Story : Born in a small hold in the forests of Southern Boll, Amallia spent her youth tending to the needs of the runners who came through her father's Runner Station, always assuming that she would one day marry and take over the Station, which had been in the family for generations. Her two older brothers became runners, the messengers especially useful in the wilds of Boll where the steep terrain and almost unnavigable jungle make it hard for runnerbeast and wagons to travel, leaving her as the only child able to take over the management of the waystation.

These plans were interrupted when she was Searched in her seventeenth Turn and taken to Fort Weyr where she impressed a gold, leaving her family proud but conflicted over the loss of their heir. The Turns passed and she grew into her duties as a weyrwoman, falling into the jobs of management and organization easily. She remained Junior throughout her entire sojourn at Fort and she was comfortable in that position, tending to riders much the same way as she had done for the runners.

In the 39th Turn of the current Pass she heard of an opening in the Gold ranks of Thread's End Weyr and, as she had just recently parted from her weyrmate of over seven Turns, she decided that a change of scenery would be good for her and answered the call.

Dragon's Name : Indorath
Dragon's Colour : Gold
Dragon's Age : 15
Sire/Dam : Transfer
Rider's Age at Impression : 17

Physical Dragon : Neither large nor small, Indorath is an average-sized gold, her gleaming skin unmarred by Thread scars. Her coloring ranges from a burnished gold on her head down to her back that darkens to an almost bronze shade on her legs and belly. Her wings are slightly out of proportion, longer than usual for a dragon her size and therefore giving her the ability to fly at a speed that outstrips others of her bulk.

Dragon's Personality:Indorath is a typical queen - certain of her beauty and charm, rightfully deserving of admiration from humans and dragons alike. She spends half her time flirting ostentatiously with all the bronzes in the Weyr and the other half gossiping with the smaller colors of her brethren.
