LOCATION: Fort Weyr
OCCUPATION: Apprentice Healer
WING: Healer's Wing Grounded

APPEARANCE
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Brown
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5'5"; Slender
PLAY-BY: Chen Yuqi (Yukee Chen)
FULL APPEARANCE:

Maiya is kind of a pale woman, not pale enough to be considered albino, but still pale enough that prolonged time in the sun might start to make her gain a sun burn. She has long reddish-brown hair that falls to the middle of her back when she doesn't have it pulled back in a ponytail. Most of the time that someone sees her, her hair is let down and flowing freely as she walks or where ever the wind will blow it. But when she is working, then she likes to pull her hair back so that it's not in her face.

She has dark brown eyes, that almost look like a black abyss when someone looks right into them. Because of this, her eyes don't really give away any emotions that she might be feeling. But, she has a hard time making sure that her face doesn't give her emotions away, knowing that there will always be subtle signals that give away an emotion that she might be feeling. She isn't one to dress fancy unless there is an event that calls for it. Instead, she likes to dress more comfortable like, and is always in flat shoes, pants, and a loose fitting shirt. During the colder seasons, she does have a jacket that she will wear, but otherwise, she doesn't wear anything over the shirt.

Her fancy clothing though, is a light purple dress, something that accents the color of Arisuwath's hide. She does have a singular woven necklace that she wears, and it holds the different colors that is in Arisuwath's coloration. This was a gift from her parents after she impressed. She does have a scar on her left leg that came from an encounter with a wher when she was younger.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:

Positive: Adaptable, Self-Reliant, & Genuine
Neutral: Calm, Determined, & Maternal
Negative: Overly Organized, Calculating, & Passive


Maiya has always been the sort of person who relies more on herself than others. She doesn't like to feel like a burden, and by asking help, that's exactly how she feels. So, by being her adaptable and self-reliant self, she has learned to do things on her own, or adapt to a situation that might have otherwise been difficult for her to deal with. Her adaptability had come from her time as an Apprentice Healer. Without that training, she probably would be more timid and fragile, rather than the calm and calculating person that she truly is.

She is a genuine person though, her words holding the meaning that she truly means. She doesn't seem to really have a mean bone in her body, though she can and does get mad when things impede on her ability to help. But, being the passive woman that she is, she doesn't actually do anything about it. Instead, she stews and broods, giving herself a headache some days, other days giving Arisuwath a headache instead. But, her determination makes it so that she can still find a way to make sure that she is able to help, because she can't stand to see others harmed or hurt. She would much rather throw herself in the line of fire, if it is to protect someone else who might need that protection.

Some say that this comes from her maternal nature, for she doesn't have children of her own, but she likes to think of those whom she gets close to as her children, or siblings. Either way, once she gets close to someone and trusts them with her life, she likes to call them family. It more just depends on how protective she feels that she needs to be about the person on if they are a child or a sibling in her mind. No matter how mad someone might make her, she does manage to stay calm and collected, only allowing Arisuwath to know her true anger. She knows that the garnet can handle it after all.

But, if someone is to look at her workspace, they will see her organizational skills, and they are immaculate. Everything has a place, and it must stay in that spot or be put back in its proper spot. If she can't find something because it's been moved, then she tends to have a minor panic attack until she reorganizes or finds the missing item. When someone does make her mad, she doesn't get vindictive, instead, she calculates the perfect mode of revenge or deception. She doesn't want to harm someone, but she isn't scared to defy them and do what it is that she is supposed to be doing.

Above everything though, she isn't a fighter. She would much rather try to passively and calmly find a solution to a problem, no matter how mad she might be. It's her passive nature that tends to make it so that she doesn't get into trouble.

HISTORY
FAMILY: Mother - Miracine; Father - Yarnik
BIRTHPLACE: Benden Weyr
HISTORY:

Life had been calm for Miracine and Yarnik, a pair of Journeyman Healers for Benden Weyr, at the time. At least, until they had their only child, Maiya. From then on, her parents managed to make it so that at least one of them were home with her daily. In fact, her mother became a daytime Healer, while her father opted to be a nighttime Healer. Because of this, her mother was with her at night, and her father with her during the day. Maiya can't be called a sheltered child either, for her father would take her out during the days, just to let her see the different people and dragonkin.

But, when she was six, she gained a fear of whers when one of them collided with her just because of how big the bronze wher had been. Maiya was knocked to her rump, and as the bronze tried to untangle himself from her, he accidentally scratched her left leg pretty deep. Her father got it patched up and, as it healed, a scar was left in its place. So, when she turned eight, it came as no surprise to her parents that she wanted to join the Healer craft with them. She had always been a helpful child, so why not let her help others feel better?

She was accepted as a Healer, but she wasn't able to do anything with the injured people or dragonkin at first. Instead, she was the person who would run errands to get the needed items, or clean up after a patient was taken care of. This went on for at least four turns, until she proved to the Healers that blood and guts didn't bother her. This came at the same time that one of their gold's and her rider, Dance of Gold Macath, transferred to Fort Weyr. Maiya was curious on it, mainly on why she was transferring and what might come from it.

But, those curiosities didn't stay in her head long, for just a turn later, Threadfall was falling, and she was helping take care of those who had been injured. She had heard through the grapevine though that Dance and Gold Macath had been killed in the Threadfall over at Fort Weyr. She felt bad for the goldpair, their adventures and life not being able to last long at their new home, but she couldn't focus on that too much. Not with Thread still falling and dragonriders and wherhandlers being harmed. She focused on them instead, listening to the rumors that she would hear.

Of course, Benden Weyr riders attacking Fort Weyr during a Touching wasn't a rumor. It was something that she had lived, and something that she didn't like at all. Even though she didn't like it, she still took care of the injured that came back from the attack. It was something that just stuck in the back of her mind that bothered her, but she wasn't going to say or do anything, it wasn't her place. Besides, they didn't need any more issues. At least, she thought that until Fort Weyr retaliated a turn later.

She managed to stay safe during the attack on her home while making sure that those who were injured were going to make it and survive to see another day. Of course, there were those whom she and the other Healers couldn't save, and it broke her heart to see that. It apparently had been the thing that got her Searched when she turned fifteen. Her compassion for others and the genuine nature that she held naturally. She started to stand for the hatchings at Benden Weyr, wondering what kind of dragon would want to impress to her.

She wasn't entirely one who was born to a family of dragonriders, she was crafter, and that was what made her wonder why she had been Searched. Even when Benden Weyr's Weyrleadership stepped down after sanctions came from the Conclave, she still wondered. She didn't stop wondering until she turned seventeen. That was when her questions had been answered by Garnet Arisuwath. You are the type of person who is willing to lay yourself on the line for others, just like your Arisuwath.

Two turns went by, and as Arisuwath and Maiya learned the ways of being a Threadfall fighting dragonrider pair, there was still too much drama at Benden Weyr for the pair to feel comfortable. So when they graduated Weyrlinghood, they asked for a transfer to Fort Weyr. After much deliberation, their request was answered, only for Threadfall to strike right as they got there. But, because of Maiya's Healing ability, she was placed in the Healer's Wing, where she was able to help those who were injured, and hopefully keep from getting injured herself.

But, now, things are tense and dramatic again. She thought that the beginning of the turn would bring good tidings, but it hadn't. Instead, Fort Weyr's Weyrleader, Z'osh of Bronze Diyarth, had tried to convince the Senior Weyrwoman, Tuckal of Gold Serapheth, to banish all the garnet riders and other none traditional colored dragons and their riders. But when the Senior Weyrwoman refused, the Weyrleader and a group of traditionalists instead took control of the Weyr, grounding Maiya and Arisuwath, as well as all other garnet riders and none traditional color riders. Even the Senior Weyrwoman was grounded.

Maiya and Arisuwath had left Benden Weyr to get away from the drama, and here they are now, in a new set of drama. This is something that agitates Maiya, even if she doesn't show it, because this limits her ability to be able to help those who are injured, or just need help. She doesn't like this, and she wants things to go back to how they were, and fast.

ARISUWATH
Image


BASICS

NAME: Arisuwath
BIRTHDATE Early Spring of 2768
AGE: 3 as of 2771

CLUTCHING

CLUTCHING: Yes
RUNS/FLIGHTS: 2

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 35 feet
HEIGHT: 8.75 feet
WINGSPAN: 52.5 feet
COLOR: Garnet
HEX CODE: #DBD7EC
FULL APPEARANCE:

Arisuwath is a small garnet, possibly one of the smallest that has been seen around. But don't let her small body deceive you, she is an agile and speedy little garnet because of her size. She does have the muscle toned body of a garnet that can carry a clutch, when she produces a clutch that is. But it's the coloration that she has that has gained the love and admiration of some. She has a light lavender base color across her body, until her wingsails are seen. Her wingsails, both top and bottom are a dark purple color that fades to a medium shade purple. The underside of her wingsails hold a lined design that is in the same lavender purple as her body. On her legs and neck are some designs in the same dark purple as her wingsails.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:

Positive: Warm, Confident, & Selfless
Neutral: Maternal, Sarcastic, & Stubborn
Negative: Fiery, Over Protective, & Assertive


Arisuwath is naturally a warm and selfless garnet. She will listen to someone's woes, and offer advice, through Maiya most of the time, but only when times are dire will she talk directly to someone to give advice. Her selfless nature is the same exact nature that tells someone that she isn't scared to catch Threadfall for someone whom she deems worthy to live longer than herself, including her own Maiya. The confidence that she has, seems to ooze off of her and into others when she does talk to others, and that's because she wants to be seen as the type of dragon that can get things done, no matter what might be going on.

If she lays a clutch, or sees hatchlings and children, she tends to be an overprotective mother. She will coddle and coo, making the smaller being feel calm and comfortable, because no one needs to be overly stressed or worried when they are that young. But, when she is being motherly, she can be stubborn when told to do something else, mainly just because she wants to be sure that the smaller being is safe and not going to get harmed in some kind of way. When she states the obvious, or someone annoys her, sarcasm can seep into her words, almost like a mental eye roll that comes from the garnet.

She does have a temper, and it will flare when either she is angered or someone angers Maiya. While Maiya is passive, Arisuwath is assertive and willing to jump into a fight to get what she wants.
