GREEN RIDER SARJHANKA

Persona : Sarjhanka
Writing Status : NPC/Owned
Gender : Female
Age : 28
Rank/Craft : Green Rider
Residence : Ierne Island Weyr

Physical Description : A beautiful girl about 5' 5" and 120 lbs., Sarjhanka is well proportioned for her height, with the right amount of curve in her hips and breasts to give her a nice figure. She moves with a natural grace and sensuality that she inherited from her mother. Sarjhanka has dark green eyes framed with thick, long lashes, a straight nose and pouty mouth. Her straight black hair she keeps cut short, just below her jaw line, because it fits under her helmet better. Her voice has a deep, sultry edge to it, partly due to a severe throat infection that left her voice rough as a child. She learned from a Harper to cultivate her voice carefully and make it sound pleasant to the ear rather than scratchy and hoarse.

Personality : Overall, Sarjhanka is a very happy person who tries to enjoy everything life has to offer. She has a very optimistic outlook on life even when bad things happen. When pleased, she is quick to flash a beautiful smile and a soft laugh. Having an unstoppable sense of humor, she finds amusement in almost any situation no matter how absurd or bizarre. She is quick to joke and play pranks on her friends without warning. Sarjhanka was always a wild child and as a young woman remained exactly that by gambling, dancing and drinking whenever she can; holding her own with most anyone. Most men that set their eyes on her want her, and women either like her for her infectious nature or dislike her out of jealousy. Spontaneous, outgoing and lively in nature - nothing stops her from enjoying life. She can make friends easily and seldom worries about anything. Sarjhanka figures that if something is going to happen then it will and not all the worry in the world will change it.

Life Story : Born just another weyr brat and raised amongst her siblings, Sarjhanka grew up well aware of the ways of weyr life. She knew her parents; though saw little of them as both were riders and often busy or preoccupied in their own lives. Therefore, growing up with the masses of weyr brats, Sarjhanka did things her own way regardless of how much trouble she would get into - just to be different from everyone around her. She would take her punishment and then later jokingly brag about it to her friends. No matter what the punishment she always made light of it and smiled along through it. To Sarjhanka, being different kept her from fading into the sea of other weyr brats.

Her first trip out on the sands saw her Impress immediately. Veveeth, one of the first greens to hatch, went unerringly to her. After Impression, Sarjhanka settled down for a time, becoming very serious and dedicated to her dragon while learning everything her duties entailed.

Later, Veveeth's maturity brought out a whole new aspect to things in her life. It turned out, to her misfortune, that male riders were quick to pursue the pair for flights or any opportunity for a romp. At first, this was a rather exciting experience and enjoyable, but in time she found the prospect of changing male companions often to be displeasing. Nevertheless, many riders found the beautiful greenrider too hard to pass up. They would try to change tactics to win her favor for a short time

After four turns of hard weyrling training and another two in a wing, she proved herself a good fighter and made her Wingleader proud. She adored her Wingleader. He was like a father to Sarjhanka and she felt loved by him as a daughter, which was something she never had growing up. He worked hard to ensure the safety of his wing members, drilling them long and hard and always seeing to it that they were prepared for anything, but as fate would have it, eventually things went awry. An unusually heavy Fall hampered by sudden wind gusts put the wing in danger, and within the first candlemark, three pairs were lost. The Wingleader kept the rest under control, continuing even as more suffered severe scorings. At the very end of Fall, her Wingleader dove for one of the remaining clumps, and another wind shift drove it directly into the side of his dragon's neck. Both were lost.

Returning to the Weyr with minor, but painful, injuries, she went into a depression for several sevendays over the loss of her friends and Wingleader. Someone gave her a small bundle of fur as a present to cheer her up, but at first, she barely acknowledged the feline. One not to be ignored, he squirmed his way into her heart and life. After some serious thinking and a realization, Sarjhanka snapped herself out of her depression and life took on a whole new meaning. From then on, Sarjhanka lived every day as if it were her last and relished every waking moment, becoming once again, the girl that she was before Impression and then some. Eventually, Sarjhanka transferred to Ierne Island Weyr in search of more excitement and new friends.

Dragon's Name : Veveeth
Dragon's Colour : Green
Dragon's Age : 11
Sire and Dam : Transfer
Age of Rider at Impression : 17

Dragon's Description : Veveeth is a good-sized green but quite fast for her size. She is evenly colored all over and almost the perfect shade of green, not too light or dark but more like the primary shade of green. However, when nearing time to rise, she becomes very bright in color. Veveeth is well proportioned and as beautiful in dragon looks as her rider is in human looks.

Dragon's Personality : She is a friendly, flirty green, who likes typical dragon things: sunning, swimming, being scratched, bathed and just lying around when she can. A big show off, she will try most anything in order to get a male's attention in order to flirt outrageously. Veveeth is very protective and loving towards the furry thing her rider brought home one day.

Veveeth delights in playing with Sarjhanka's feline and has terrified more than one canine and weyr brat who has chased Stickup with a tremendous roar or two. Like her rider, Veveeth is very happy and enjoys every moment of her life, but she is dead serious when it comes to flying Fall - she is a completely different dragon then. Just as fierce and driven as any male, Veveeth sometimes has to be ordered back to the Weyr because she will push herself too near exhaustion during a fall.

Pet's Name : Stickup
Pet's Type : Feline
Pet's Colour : White, with large grey spots and a white splash between his eyes that circles his mouth as well. His tail is solid grey and one side of his body has more grey than white. His eyes are a beautiful shade of gold and his nose is pink.

Pet's Description : Stickup adores his mistress beyond anything else and spends his nights with her when he his not out searching for females. He is seldom far from her and will come if she whistles or snaps her fingers. He has a small special made harness, which he wears when riding with his mistress. It enables him to be fastened to Veveeth's harness and to sit upon her back without risk falling off during flight.

Completely unafraid of flying or dragons, he does tend to fear and shy away from most people. Stickup seems to have an odd dislike for men in particular. He will taste and eat almost anything that his mistress puts in her mouth. He has an odd habit of eating with her at a table sitting in her lap. He is well behaved except for his stealing habit. He is trained to do a few tricks as well as come to Veveeth's warble.
