FULL APPEARANCE: Shaniya is a tall, slim blond, with stunning blue-green eyes don't let her build fool you she can pull her own weight right along side the guys when there is work to be done. She typically wears her hair in a long braid down the middle of her back, or up in a bun at the nape of her neck, when she has her helmet on. She likes to wear practical clothing for work, and her more nicer gowns she made are reserved for Gatherings and Hatchings. She looks good in a wide range of colors, and she doesn't really have a favorite color.
She doesn't see any reason in wasting time doing girl things like fixing her hair up every day when just a braid will do. To her its a waste of time when she could be out doing jobs that need done, now as for hatchings and gatherings she will take more care in her looks as she feels she is representing the Weyr at such events.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Shaniya sees herself more of a tomboy than anything else, being raised with many male relatives, she has learned how to work just as hard as they can she also learned how to fight dirty by using her slim body and their mass against them to the point she can hold her own against their shenanigans, that is unless they ganged up on her, she could mostly take them down one on one at least enough to give her a chance to get away. Shaniya is a very kind person and hard working. She won't slack in any job she is given, she will follow instructions from her Wingleader and the Weyrleaders. Shaynia is very stubborn and bull headed she does not like to be told she is wrong about stuff she knows or how to do something she already has done before. That is unless they can prove where she is wrong and then she will begrudgingly accept where she is wrong and apologies to them.
Though unlike her dragon - white Raidoth- she values the days she can have off to enjoy her little hobbies, such as making her own clothes and simple rugs for her quarters even enjoying listening to the bards play and even sing along or dance when the mood hits her. Shaniya like to spend time with her friends most of them being of the male gender just be sociable in general not that she has many friends to begin with, she just doesn't really know how to female friends for most of the time she is to bold in her actions and words for most of the female taste. In other words she sees herself as just one of the guys.
HISTORY
FAMILY:
Father Tyrell - Journeyman Tanner
Mother Celina - Journeyman Weaver
Bothers 3 older and 3 younger
Many relatives to help out in the family cothold.
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: None at this time
BIRTHPLACE: Small cothold 10 miles outside Peyton hold
HISTORY:Before Shaynia was born her parents set out after a few turns as Journeyman and choosing not be masters in their crafts, set out to form a small cothold of their own with their other family members, where they provided well enough for their families.
Shaniya grew up in a small family cothold, she is the only daughter born of seven children to parents Tyrell and Celina.
As she was growing up her older brothers took it upon themselves to teach her the basics of fighting for her own protection and that being how to fight dirty with no holds bar, in this she didn't have to fight fair only enough so she could get away to safety if need be.
Shaniya's life was a happy one. She grew to love helping her mother whenever her mother needed her help, she would make their clothes, rugs and blankets from furs, and even assisting in some light leather work that her father had tanned himself.
Shaniya was twenty-four Turns when she was out after Threadfall looking for missed thread before it could burrow for they did not have a wherhandler or a whatch wher to help protect the farm land. That was when she was found on Search, much to the surprise and joy of her family. It was a real honor that a dragon, let alone a blue Searchdragon, would land at their little cothold. I wasn't long after that she impressed white Raidoth.
The day Shaniya impressed Raidoth was the first time she saw a chimera hatch as a Bronze-White dragon emerged from its shell. Their bonding was an easy and joyous event.
Before Raidoth's first turn the two of them heard about the rise of Fort Hold's rebellion over Lord Vellaren and banishing all of their wherhandlers from others talking about it. That fall they were caught in the middle of the rift between traditionalists and progressives as it grew ever wider not that she really felt one way or the other with her being new to the Weyr life she just did what she was told and helped her dragon grow up nice and strong.
