FULL APPEARANCE: Seiraya is tall and lean, reaching 6'2", and having an athletic build, with relatively toned arms. Her eyes are dark blue, and her features are harsh and pointed, often coupled with a sour expression. She has a few scars, a particularly big one on the side of her jaw. Her skin is on the lighter side, and her hair is light brown, straight, and long; she often keeps it in a ponytail, out of the way of her face. Her choice in clothing is often casual, loose-fitting, and without too much care for style.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Seiraya is bitter, callous, and sour; she is very quick to react, and quick to judge. Most of this, however, is because she is also very quick to assume most people are against her. It takes a long time for her to warm to anyone, and in the mean time, she has a tendency to be very closed off and defensive. She is very driven, however, but she tends to be motivated by her own needs and goals rather than anyone else's, and she will step over anyone in order to get what she needs. She is spontaneous and reckless, and she has very little concern for her own safety and wellbeing, in fact, oftentimes she has to rely on her dragon's protective and cautious nature to keep her out of harm. Though she is careless, she is brave, and will take on any task or challenge - even if she doesn't necessarily think about the consequences beforehand.
Seiraya doesn't let things that don't necessarily affect her bother her, at all. She isn't interested in the majority of things relating to weyr politics - unless garnets are involved, to which she will defend their right to exist to the death. Deep down, she knows things would be different without Primaveth around. Her dragon is the only one she trusts enough to open up to, to show her more sensitive side. Though she is harsh and defensive, she is very in touch with her feelings, and can actually be somewhat fragile, deep down, and she has a tendency to take things to heart. The kind of people she trusts most tend to be very calm, wise types - she can't bring herself to dislike people who just want to be kind and respectful to others. Though she would never admit it due to her stubbornness, she loves affection, but doesn't realise that she has to actually be nice to people in order to get it.
HISTORY
FAMILY:
Mother: Viseira
Father: R'on (Rayaon) of Blue Suunath
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: (optional)
BIRTHPLACE: Telgar Weyr
HISTORY:
TW: Parental neglect?
Born in a cothold beholden to Telgar Weyr, Seiraya's parents were not exactly the most nurturing or hands-on. Her parents were only 22 at the time of her birth, and not long after, her father was Searched, and moved to the Weyr to eventually become a candidate, and later a rider; thus, she doesn't remember him at all. Her mother, on the other hand, did the absolute bare minimum. She was washed, she was dressed, she was fed. That was all her mother thought she had to do as a parent, and all she could be bothered to do. Seiraya, as a child, started to act up; she didn't care whether she got good or bad attention, as long as she got attention.
As she grew up, Seiraya started to grow bitter towards her mother. Whatever, she thought, she wasn't worth worrying about - at 15, she was Searched, and moved to the Weyr proper to become a candidate. A few hatchings passed by at Telgar Weyr - in the meantime, she impressed a brown firelizard, whom she named Soup, a very lazy, cocky little flit. She had garnered an idea in her head of her dream dragon; she didn't really care about the colour, but, she wanted a beast, something that could be her partner in crime. A strong, hardy dragon who could take on the world, something that could compliment her harsh, sour nature. However, in the Winter of 2765, the dragon that ended up making her way towards her was a sweet, pleasant Garnet. Primaveth had a gentle, caring demeanour - almost motherly, in a way. Though they initially clashed - Primaveth was, at first, a very protective dragon, and Seiraya was a rude, rebellious teen - the two eventually mellowed out and started to compliment each other. Seiraya didn't realise it at the time, but this dragon was what she needed. Something to keep her safe, and someone she could confide in.
Seiraya had wanted to move away from Telgar as soon as she graduated, for little reason beyond it being way too cold, yet, not long after her graduation, Primaveth rose, and clutched. They stayed the extra few months for the hatching, and then eventually left for Fort once she no longer needed to tend to her eggs. She settled in quickly at Fort, mostly keeping between herself and her dragon. Threadfalls came and went, and she enjoyed life at Fort - however, recent events heavily troubled Seiraya when the Weyrleader at the time, Z'osh of Bronze Diyarth, had grounded anyone he didn't approve of, including garnetriders as well as female bronzeriders, mutations, and the Weyrwoman herself. Though she normally kept her head out of politics, she hated this, and thus, she worked with the rebels. She would make sure she and her dragon would fly again, she was determined.
