HEIGHT AND BUILD: 6'1"
PLAYED-BY: Sarah Marie Karda
FULL APPEARANCE:
A slender unusually tall woman who is well poised, she possesses an incredibly commanding presence. A guess at her height might place her at around six feet, her shoulders are back and her chest expressed paired with the impression that she is comfortable in her skin. Her natural extremely light ash blonde hair appears more ashen white than blonde and her eyebrows barely stand out against her very fair complexion which seems to neither burn nor tan. Something that does stand out rather pronounced against her fair skin is a deep jagged scar down one cheek from what looks to be a mauling wound which came close to taking out one of her green eyes. It is a pity for the slash scar across her cheek mars an otherwise beautiful face.
She is dressed in a double-breasted jerkin dyed a dark marbled blue color with black horn buttons for closures on the front. At the sides, laces matching the color of the leather have been laced through anodized aluminum grommets and tied so that the jerkin fits her properly. Shoulder caps conceal where removable sleeves lace to the jerkin and halfway down the sleeves there are another set of laces allowing her the option of wearing a shorter sleeve. At her shoulder, brown, red, bronze and harper blue cords have all been woven into a knot which is worn as one loop under the arm, with a knot in the top, and two small strings with quatrefoil knots at the ends, marking her as a Junior Weyrsinger of Fort Weyr. On the right breast is the heraldic emblem for her Weyr. Her jerkin is lined with white fur. Upon her head, she wears a leather hat made with the same dark marbled blue colored leather and lined with similar white fur. She wears dark marbled blue leather pants which have a lace-up closure in front. Her boots are made of black leather, lined with white fur and lace-up the sides with black laces.

Some might consider her a little too indulgent in drinking even though she does not drink to the point of becoming drunk.

HISTORY
FAMILY:
Father Meidor
Mother Addath
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: None at this time
BIRTHPLACE: Ruatha Hold
HISTORY:
Meiddath was born to Meidor and Addath in the Ruatha Hold near Fort Weyr. At an early age, her mother realized that her daughter was gifted. Among these gifts seemed to be an amazing musical talent. Meiddath could play anything she heard by ear after hearing it once or twice. When her mother showed her a piece of sheet music Meiddath's first comment upon seeing the notation was 'so many colors!' Her mother did not understand. Meiddath seemed to struggle with reading the sheet music, which both confused and grieved her mother. How could someone who seemed on one hand to be such a musical genius be on the other hand such a musical idiot. Meiddath's mother told her not to talk about colors or music with anyone and just put the sheet music away. Later she found something written out on paper in her daughter's room she could not understand and Meiddath told her that it was just music she had played before written down in a different way that was easier for her to read. Her mother hid it away in a box in their guest room and forgot about it.
The differentiated notation was found by a Harper guest one evening but Meiddath's mother did not want to say to whom the notation belonged. Instead, she lied at dinner and said it must have been something left behind by another guest and that she had no idea what it was. Meiddath was still rather young and looked at her with a betrayed expression before asking to be excused from the table. Meiddath was not allowed to leave and the Harper had not missed the unspoken interaction between mother and daughter. When the Harper asked Meiddath if she knew the Duty song and if she would sing it for him, Meiddath's mother interrupted, saying, "I hardly think that it is appropriate to sing at the dinner table, eat your dinner and then go up to bed, Meiddath." Once Meiddath left the room, she could overhear her parents telling the Harper that they had no interest in sending Meiddath to the Harper Hall and telling him not to bring it up again to them or to her in a rather curt tone of voice. She was never quite sure why.
One day, Meiddath noticed a Dragonrider speaking to her parents outside their house on her walk home from work. By the time she had reached her parents the Dragonrider had departed. Meiddath asked why a Dragonrider had been there and both her parents had dismissed the visit as nothing important. Meiddath remembered going to bed that night thinking that her parents' response was very odd. The following day, the Dragonrider was back and landed in a field next to the path she took to work every day. He rode a really huge bronze and he was from Benden Weyr. He seemed really nice, trying to strike up a conversation with Meiddath. When the Dragonrider offered her a ride, her mother's admonition not to 'talk to strangers' rang in her head but then she told herself that 'this was a Dragonrider'. Meiddath did tell him, "only if you promise to take me back home if I do..." The rider laughed and answered that 'of course he would'. At first, she enjoyed the flight, until she began to realize how far away they were getting from 'her home'. When she told the rider that she wanted him 'to take her home now', he simply told her that was 'what he was doing'. Later, Meidor and Addath saw a neighbor rushing up to their place, who told them a story about their daughter getting on the back of a dragon with a Dragonrider and just flying off. Both Meidor and Addath were outraged and upset.
At Benden Weyr, Meiddath was given the traditional garments worn by those who wished to impress a Dragon. Once she was dressed, she was escorted to the hatching grounds. Meiddath was placed with a bunch of other young candidates near the eggs. As the egg hatching began, there was panic on the hatching grounds and several young people were mauled. A newborn green slashed Meiddath in the face, nearly taking out her eye and would have hurt her worse if Ciazirth, a newly hatched bronze, had not bitten down on Meiddath's shoulder to pull her away from the young green. Ciazirth bonded with Meiddath and tried to protect her from further injury. Anyone who was injured was given medical care and the healers did their best to stitch up Meiddath's face. Neither the Harper at Benden nor the Weyrleader was happy to discover how Meiddath came to be among the other candidates. The present Weyrleader believed trying to return a bonded Meiddath back to Fort Weyr would cause more harm than good, so he would not allow Meiddath to leave.
Ciazirth grew to be absolutely huge and he was fast. He also had trouble understanding why he had to wait for other dragons in the mid and high altitude flights to miss thread during both drills and actual threadfall before he could use his speed to burn any thread out of the sky. The relationship Meiddath shared with her fellow Dragonriders did at times feel like she was trying to work with a bunch of overgrown mischievous boys and more often than not she had found the need to employ her cleverness within towards her own weyrmates versus without. Once leadership changed at Benden Weyr, Meiddath requested to be transferred to Fort Weyr where she could be closer to her family.
