[img]url_here[/img]
"lyrics or quotes here"

BASICS

NAME: Mayra
GENDER: Female
PRONOUNS: she/her/hers
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
BIRTHDATE: Early spring 2739
AGE: 36 as of winter 2775
LOCATION: Semaca Weyr
OCCUPATION: Garnet Rider
WING: Nocturne Wing

APPEARANCE
EYES: Brown
HAIR: brown
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5'2'' and heavyset
PLAY-BY: --
EXPY SOURCE: --
FULL APPEARANCE: She is somewhat bent over from the weight of life being carried on her shoulders. Her body starting to feel the very first strain of age. Swayback having taken a seat in her life giving her a bit of an odd gait in her walk.

Her eyes are still bright and clear. Her brown hair, she keeps long and tied back into a very tight bun. Which she will let loose during special occasions. She has put on some weight since her youthful days working on her parents farm. Years of depression, drinking and eating to cope with her feelings, caused the rider to gain some weight.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Mayla is about as stubborn as they come. Once her mind is set, no matter how wrong she is, she will see her tasks through. It doesn't matter if those tasks are set by herself or by the wing leader. Nothing will stand in her way. She learns through trial and error. When she gets it wrong, she will try try again, often the same way to the same outcome. Eventually trying a new approach until she finds success. If she wants to go visit a hold for some respite, unless you have clear reasons why she can't, you can expect Mayla will go. Once her mind is set. It's set.

She is inflexible in her thinking. It wont matter if you tell her the sky is blue. If she believes it's red. The sky is red. It's often through her Stubborn persist nature that Mayla is able to learn thing's such as reading and writing at a much older age. Refusing to give up on any form of learning presented to her. She is filled with a wonder and curiosity to learn as much as she can about pern. Often diving into singular subjects for weeks at a time until she feels she has learned all she can. This has its drawbacks, especially through her interactions among her peers. Causing frustrations when she insists that she's right even when she couldn't be more wrong.

Her thirst for knowledge doesn't just apply to subjects she finds interesting either. Anything that one would not find in every day life in a hold is information waiting to be consumed by Mayla.

Her obsessions don't end with knowledge of her surroundings. She has been known to allow people to consume her mind for lengths at a time.

HISTORY
FAMILY: Mother and Father both from a farming cothold nothing substantial about them. Three younger sisters.
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: Its Complicated
BIRTHPLACE: Cothold near Benden ?
HISTORY:
Mayla was born in a tiny cothold just outside of Benden. Too far away from the various hustle and bustle of the life that went on in the Weyr. Too busy keeping the farm moving with her father and her mother and her younger sisters. Mayla found she had little time to learn about life outside of her birthplace. Leaving her illiterate.

As she had reached her teenage years, Mayla met Beatty at the very first gather she was allowed to attend. The man easily swept her off her feet with his charms, being unaccustomed to the flirtatious nature of boys she fell hard and fast. It had been a night of memorable bliss she just could not forget.

Over the next year, she maintained secret visits from Beatty to her home. Where courtship had begun, Beatty had used much of this time to teach her how to read and write. Something that would have been abandoned by her parents due to their own illiteracy. Eventually the need to write became a necessity as Beatty entered Candidacy with his friends from the Weyr.

Not long after turning 16, Mayla herself had been searched by a bluerider. Bringing her to Brenden for a short duration. During her candidacy, which allowed her to be closer to Beatty, she was able to share the many studies and chores alongside him. Allowing the pair to grow closer together.

It was at the same clutching, were Beatty and Mayla stood side by side eager to impress a substantial dragon. Her head having been filled with the idea of impressing a gold. A pair of eggs had unexpectedly hatched simultaneous to one another. Two nearly identical garnets had stumbled side by side in tandem towards the lovers. Mayla was shocked when the more vibrant red of the two settled impression on her. She could feel her love for the hatchling explode in her unlike anything she had ever felt. Color aside Mayla had forgotten the more traditional views set around her. Her love for Reapirith forcing her to re-evaluate where she stood in her views. Realizing she no longer stood in harmony with Beatty and his views.

Her Weyrling days were not full of the joy of impression as they should have been. Impressing a garnet named Reapirith, was something her lover had viewed as stigma. Her relationship with the man had come to an end. Unable to move past the fate of the color she had impressed.

Thankfully, pity had been taken on her. As soon as she was able, Mayla found herself being transferred to Semaca Weyr. Where a rider of her color was far more accepted. Her heart still ached over the loss of such a deep relationship with her lover Beatty.

Years past, with seemingly no variation from day to day. Spending most of her time fighting thread and as a sort of transport for delivering important people from one place to another.

Mayra slowly found she was starting to forget Beatty and move on with her life. Content with just the company of her Garnet dragon. It wasn't until her late twenties that life had thrown another curve ball her way. Beatty had been transferred to Semaca, and not just anywhere in the Weyr, they shared the same wing. Being unsure of how to cope with the appearance of her past lover, whom she had never gotten over, Mayla found herself struggling to cope with her daily chores. Unable to cope with seeing the man who easily awakened those same feelings inside her. She still loves him deeply.

Reapirith

Image


BASICS

NAME: Reapirith
BIRTHDATE Season 2761
AGE: 14 as of 2775

APPEARANCE
LENGTH:
HEIGHT: 8.75
WINGSPAN: 52.5
COLOR: Garnet
HEX CODE: #250606
FULL APPEARANCE: For a garnet Reapirith is on the smaller end. She is a deep crimson color, with white bone like marking across her legs, rib cage and skull. Giving off an almost haunting otherworldly look about her. Her shade being so dark she could almost pass for a black. Almost.

PERSONALITY
Despite her appearance, Reapirith is a gentle and curious soul. Preferring the company of her rider as much as she possibly can. As like her rider, she wants to know as much about the world as she possibly can. Although not to the Obsessive compulsion her rider often entertains. Reapirith is extremely friendly. Not being one to know a stranger or enemy. She is eager to be the type of dragon candidates can learn from as it helps with her almost childlike curiosity.

As for her rider, Reapirith will stop at nothing to keep her safe. Even if she has to stand up against bullies, facing down any dangers that would cause her rider great harm.

She enjoys flying instead of lounging about in the sun. Often seen performing various acrobatics in the air, seeing it as a form of training to help against the threat of thread. She might not be quick, but boy is she nimble

Here we go.

- 36 is still fairly young. Please tone down the symptoms of old age in her appearance.

- Stubbornness isn't a flaw if it leads to positive outcomes. Either add an additional flaw or make it clear she is sometimes wrong.

- As of now, Beatty was 17 and she was 13 when she met. Please adjust these ages as that is too wide an age gap for a romance.

- Why did her years-old traditionalist beliefs evaporate overnight? Was it instead the rush of impression hit her, and she then had to take time to re-evaluate those beliefs and break herself of old habits and opinions?

- Reapirith is missing her name and an age. Is her name Rapirith or Reapirith? You use both at various point of the app.

- Hex code needed, it can be chosen from the image using an online picker tool or finding something close from https://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker/

- Her markings are not white, they are a very pale pink (highlights on the template washed them out. Source: me who did this design)

- You mention her transfer to Semaca twice in her history. When she did transfer? Semaca did not exist to take transfers until 2765. Why did she feel the strain of being a garnetrider if she went to a more accepting weyr so soon after Impression? Garnetriders were not mistreated outside of Benden.

- Search riders aren't required to search for individuals lost during threadfall. There are enough riders present to know where people are and if they need help. Healer's Wing handles any rescues needed.

Round 2

- There is no mention in her history about Benden's rejection and dislike of garnets, only her boyfriend. There should be something there, as Benden is very traditional and still does not respond well to garnets.

- Reapirith does not have a birth season, and her age must be changed. We do not allow PC garnets to have hatched in 2761 as it is too close to the originals hatching. Please change her date to 2762 and her age to 13. Zinrelorth will be changed as well.

- Reapirith's appearance still has not been edited. Her markings are not white, they are pink. She is also not dark enough to "Almost pass for black."

- Semaca did not exist to accept transfers until 2765. When did she transfer? The way her history is written, she apparently transferred right after graduation, which would be an entire turn before the Weyr was established. How long has she lived there?

- Her transfer to Semaca is mentioned twice at different times.

- Semaca is a weyr that revolves around a life of survival and hardship. There is no "ferrying important people from one place to another." Every rider is expected to help with hunting, farming, surveying and exploring, etc.
