FULL APPEARANCE:
Meira is a simple young woman, built leaner rather than sturdy, and rather flat-chested (which suits her just fine). Her skin is dark, as is her hair which falls just past her shoulders in length. Her eyes are deep brown and very expressive, set a little larger on her face and giving her a more youthful appearance than average. She has no extremely visible scars, though does bear some casually on her arms and legs from childhood. Clothing-wise, she prefers to wear brighter colours.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
A highly empathetic and caring young woman, she hates loneliness and other people's loneliness. This can lead to her being a bit obtrusive in an attempt to help someone when they don't want to be helped. Before becoming a Candidate and subsequently a rider she was very passive and calm, hating any sort of violence or conflict. Since joining the ranks of the Weyr however, and learning she had friends and companions to protect, she will not hesitate to fight if it means protecting them. She is no longer frightened by the concept of Thread.
She has become a little more introverted than she was as a youth, but still supports her friends and companions wholeheartedly. Her eyes are very expressive and it's easy to see her emotions on her face, making her a terrible liar. She also has a bit of a childish side which comes out especially prominently when discovering new things.
HISTORY
FAMILY: 3 Siblings (2 older, 1 younger)
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: Telgar Cothold
HISTORY:
Miera was born the third of four children to a pair of Wherhandlers in a small cothold. Growing up around whers, she has no fear of them despite their reputation as being aggressive and violent, having really only known them as protective. But, she had also been raised with a healthy respect for them by her parents. Beyond that, her family was tight-knit and loving, encouraging each of their children to pursue their desires even if it took them far from home.
As a result, she grew up well-rounded and understanding of the various important parts of life.
At fifteen a pair of Searchriders landed in their small cothold, taking Miera and one of her siblings with them back to Telgar Weyr, where they began their career as Candidates amidst the end of the interval war. Although Miera was not successful in Impressing, she remained hopeful, picking up Healercraft to learn alongside her Candidate lessons--thus should she just so happen to age out she would still be helpful in the long run.
For many Turns she largely flies under the radar, maintaining her place as a Candidate, following the stories as much as possible of the renegades who fled following bronze Vaugnairth's banishment. Then, hearing of a recent Gold clutch at the Weyr, she arranged for a formal transfer. Not so much for dislike of Telgar but for a strong desire to help. The settlement would still need whatever hands it could get and even if she were only an Apprentice, healers were always needed. Plus, she wasn't having any luck Impressing at Telgar!
It wasn't until nearly her twenty-forth Turnday that she would finally Impress to her green. Only sevendays later, on the fateful day of the spotty attack during Weyrling training, she suffered some minor wounds defending her dragonet from the big cats--not attempting to be heroic, simply getting them both away from the ambush. Nightmares of the incident have become commonplace as a result, though she has more respect than fear of spotties.
