"Lavenders blue, dilly, dilly
Lavender's green
When you are king, dilly, dilly
I shall be queen
Who told you so, dilly, dilly
Who told you so?
'Twas mine own heart, dilly, dilly
That told me so."

FULL APPEARANCE:
A'tomi is a slight young woman with brown hair and grey-blue eyes. She looks a bit frail and has a youthful face free of scars; she's been lucky when fighting Thread not to suffer any marking injuries. Quite thin and looks to have little muscle mass to her, she's stronger than she appears but still quite lightweight and easily picked up and carried around if the need arises (though not recommended). Her hair is kept short, chin-length in the back and just near her eyes at the fringe.
Clothing-wise, she wears typical rider leathers, though cooler weather will see heavier sweaters and bulky clothing which only accentuates the fact that she looks rather small. She wears a small necklace around her neck with a tiny pendant which once belonged to her mother, the only physical reminder she has from home.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
A gentle and kindly soul, A'tomi leads with her heart rather than her head. Luckily, she's not been put in any positions of power, as while she would make decisions based on what she thought to be good for everyone, she's a bit of a pushover and could be led astray by the words of those she trusts. She's humble for her own skills and helpful for others, putting their needs above her own to even the detriment of her own wellbeing on more than one occasion. If a task requires something to be done, she will work on it until it is finished. However, she can be quite forgetful and would probably lose her head if not secured tightly to her neck and frequently has to write things down to avoid forgetting them... but then still sometimes forgets the context of things she wrote down or where she put her reminders.
She can also be stubborn and rather childish, not above tantrums or silent treatments if she believes she has been wronged in some way.
A'tomi likes to sing but has no formal training--she has a natural talent, but being a Rider takes up all of her time.
HISTORY
FAMILY: Numerous direct and extended family members.
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: Cothold in High Reaches territory
HISTORY:
Born Asatomi in the spring of turn 2746, she grew up in a loving cothold full of her extended family. She was a middle child but no less loved than those before or after her and grew up well adjusted. As the cothold consisted mostly of her direct and extended family members, some moving off and returning with spouses as she grew, they were largely self-sufficient save for what couldn't be grown or raised on their land. They traded with nearby cotholds and kept to themselves, not particularly bothered by the Weyr for more than its protection.
As such she was raised conservatively but with a wonder for dragonriders, occasionally seen flying in the sky high above them, and when riders came to one of the neighboring Holds as they were trading, she was overjoyed to be Searched on the spot.
It took two long Turns for her to Impress to Hyliath. Garnets were still rather new at the time, with only two having hatched at High Reaches. While initially horrified by having impressed a non-traditional colour, the newly-named A'tomi quickly discovered she could not hate her dragon. Hyliath was sweet and gentle, and now a part of her as much as her own two hands. Their relationship was a little rocky for the first sevenday or so as they tested their new bond, but thereafter the pair became quite a team.
Despite the rockiness of the Weyr as a whole, with stolen eggs and ripplings of renewed conflict with Fort, A'tomi and Hyliath remain loyal to their patron Weyr. A'tomi does not believe that High Reaches stole the eggs, though how they appeared in the sands she does not have an answer for. Hyliath, despite her differences with Terminath, was saddened for the loss of her sister.
