Physical Description : Xyhalien stands at 5'6" even and weighs 142 with medium frame. She has short copper hair and dark blue eyes. She keeps her hair cut to the bottom of her earlobes. She has muscle from her chores as a Candidate and now as a Weyrling. She is a bit on the slender side from moving around a lot and having a fast metabolism. She has an olive complexion that makes her tan really nicely. Though her skin is already nicely tanned, with a soft coppery glow to her skin. She is mostly seen in a tunic and pants. Xyhalien doesn't usually dress up unless it is for a Gather or Hatching or some other occasion.

She has a nice red dress that she keeps at the bottom of her travel trunk and wears that dress for those special occasions. She has a small box at the very bottom of her travel trunk. It s a nice dark rosewood color with her and her dragon's names engraved on the top. She keeps all of her jewelry in it. She always wears a simple silver necklace that has her and her dragon's names engraved on it. She had received it as a gift from her parents shortly after she had impressed. It also has a ring to match. She saves the rest of her jewelry to wear for special occasions. She has a leather hide belt she wears all the time. It was a gift from her brother before she left when she had been Searched.

When she is riding or attending other duties she wears a simple dark copper tunic with black or reddish brown trousers. She likes to wear dark colors and will sometimes be seen in lighter colors during the summer months, when it s really warm. She has a leather jerkin vest that was dyed to a dark green coloring that she wears every now and then. The coloring is very close to her dragon's green color. It s her favorite vest.

Personality : Xyhalien is a strange young woman. She is quiet and keeps to herself most of the time. She is not one to start fights, but she will finish if necessary. She is not very tolerant towards children. She thinks they are noisy and smelly. She was very excited when she was searched. So she s put herself fully into her chores and Lessons. She could hardly contain her excitement when her little green life mate walked up to her. She has a fiery spirit underneath her self control. She is a little bit of a neat freak when dealing with her sleeping quarters and doesn t care if anyone says she s weird about it or not. She is polite and courteous when dealing with people of rank. She feels a bit awkward sometimes when any male Weyrling speaks to her.

Xyhalien has a habit of doing more than her share of chores. She doesn't mind the work and actually uses it as an excuse to be alone sometimes. She likes to work alone, unless when the situation calls for more than one body and she s not afraid to ask for help. She isn't afraid to speak her mind and will often listen to a conversation for a bit before saying anything. When she is in a bad mood she glares at people, whether they are the person she is mad at or not. Xesn does have a temper, but she s so good-natured that it takes a long while before she does get angry. She has an abundance of energy she uses when she s concocting recipes and it is expressed in her voice. She has a habit of speaking a little faster than normal when she s really excited about something.

Life Story : Xyhalien was born as the third child of six. She was born at Thread's End Hold to a Journeyman Healer, Xyhal, and a Journeyman Smith, Forezien. She was always on the move almost right after birth. She could not keep still for a full ten minutes. She was running with the group of children pulling pranks or finding some kind of mischief. Though she wasn t the prank kind of child. She had never pulled a prank on anyone. She was just with them for the laughs. Or the punishment when caught, since she was with them. She loved to go for rides on runners at the age of six turns. Her oldest brother, Foxyhal, taught her to ride in his spare time. And she loved it every moment of it.

By the time she was twelve turns, she could ride a runner bareback and only the bridle. She would often go off on her own on a runner on rest days. She would head to the nearest beach she knew of and just lay on the beach and watch the waves of the ocean. One rest day after she d just turned 12 turns, she had just arrived on the beach and was getting ready to lay down and she noticed an odd lump on the sand. She walked over to it and brushed at the sand, trying to level it. She d just found a fire lizard clutch! She had a sack with her that she had with her in case she found seashells. She quickly filled the sack with the warm beach sand half way and then placed the eggs ever so gently in her sack. Once she had all thirteen eggs in the sack she fill the sack the rest of the way with more beach sand.

She hurried back home to inform her family of her find. Her mother and father picked one out of the clutch and gave it to her for finding the clutch and they handed the small clutch over to the Lord Holder. Xyhalien took her fire lizard egg everywhere she could with her. She didn t want to leave it alone when it hatched. And when the egg hatched, it hatched with a *pop*. And out fell a darling little green fire lizard. It took her two days to decide on a name. She finally settled on Sola, after her late grandmother. She spent her spare time training the little green to be helpful and behaved. She made rapid progress with the little fire lizard.

For a few months after she'd turned 12, Xyhalien gave some thought to what craft she wanted to apprentice too. She didn't want to stay at home all her life and not do anything useful. Though helping to clean and cook was useful. She settled on the Baker craft and apprenticed to the Senior Journeyman Cook. She studied hard and worked just as hard. Her green fire lizard Sola was a bit help in sending messages around the Hold and also alerting when a dragon arrived.

She had just barely turned 15 turns when a blue Searchrider arrived on Search for a clutch. Xyhalien ran out with the other Holder children and waited. She was bubbling over with the giggles and happiness when she was Searched. She readily agreed and left with the Searchrider that same day with two other new Candidates. She was completely overwhelmed when she arrived at Thread's End Weyr. She quickly learned what she needed to know to survive in the Weyr and soon apprenticed to one of the Senior Journeyman cooks at the Weyr. She worked hard and made a few friends.

She wanted to help feed the people of the Weyr. So, she settled right down and helped a few other cooks with meal preparations. And then the day dawned bright and clear when the Eggs hatched. Xyhalien stood with the other Candidates and waited. A bright smile lit her face as the eggs rocked and cracked. One or Two of the eggshells flung broken shell pieces everywhere. The green egg hatched and impressed, almost right away. And then Xyhalien witnessed the hatching of what she thought to be the most beautiful green dragonet she d ever seen. And impression was made.

Rukbat rose the next day.

And Xyhalien s aches and pains started. Weyrling Training! And she thought, 'Oh, joy'.

Dragon's Name : Sysath
Dragon's Colour : Green
Dragon's Age : Less than 1 Turn
Sire/Dam : Bronze Ramalth/Gold Tarmath
Rider's Age at Impression : 17

Physical Dragon : Sysath is petite in build, definitely on the smaller end of things, with long sculpted limbs. Her neck has a graceful arch to it. Her facial features are very delicate and there's no arguing that she has a sort of snooty look to her. Long, narrow wings added to her lean frame make sure that this green is incredibly quick and agile in the air. As a hatchling her hide was a beautiful even shade of emerald green, but now as she s mature it s a dark emerald green. Her belly is a lighter shade of emerald green.

Dragon's Personality:Sysath is nothing like her physique would hint. A delicate looking creature she loves to play pranks, especially on her rider. It is the highlight of her day when she can catch her rider off guard and it just gets better the dirtier she gets doing it. She loves to drive everyone crazy by always mucking around in mud or dirt and never seems to be truly clean. Truly a child She will throw a fit if told to behave or take a bath. She also likes to think of herself as a comedian and will do anything for a good laugh and if she can't get them through her jokes she'll get laughter from her antics. This is probably how she became so fond of being dirty because there is nothing funnier then a small delicate dragon covered in mud.

Pet Name : Sola
Pet Species : Firelizard
Pet Color : Green

Pet Description : Sola is a mild green all over her body, belly and all. Her wings though are a tad shade lighter. She is average in size for a green fire lizard and quite agile for it. Her wings are the right fit for her and her tail as well. Her body is a bit long, but nothing that would hinder her in any way. Though it does make her able to twist in the air, making her a little more agile. Sola is sweet and cuddly. She is not as flighty as other green fire lizards. She is somewhat curious about things but she loves to be with Xyhalien. Her favorite spot is sitting on his left shoulder, and her tail wrapped around his next loosely. She is friendly and ever bit as loving to younglings. If anyone should harm Xyhalien, her sweet and cuddly and loving nature is gone. And in it s place is a green terror.
