BASICS

RETIRE INFO: Retire both, feel free to make new versions of these characters though
NAME: Tikra
GENDER: Cis female
PRONOUNS: she/her/hers
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual

BIRTHDATE: Late summer 2732
AGE: 38 as of fall 2770
LOCATION: Fort Weyr
OCCUPATION: Wingrider
WING: Daylight

APPEARANCE
EYES: Blue
HAIR: Blonde, wavy, long
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5' 2", slender
PLAY-BY: Clare Bowen
FULL APPEARANCE: Tikra is classically pretty, with long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Her jaw is strong like her sister's, but she has fuller lips. She's petite, standing at 5' 2", and has a naturally slender build. Riding has given her strength, but she'll never be even remotely brawny. She takes care of her appearance, styling her hair and wearing light cosmetics on off days. She's extremely pale and has an embarrassing tendency to sunburn, and thus tries to avoid the sun as much as she can. Clothing-wise, she prefers dresses, especially lacy ones.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Were Tikra raised in a Hold, she might be lauded as a good example of a Lady. She's courteous, seemingly quiet, and tries to do everything to the best of her ability without overstepping her bounds. In a Weyr, her traditionalist attitudes seem out of place, and her childhood friends often joked that she should have been raised in a Hold. She's unfailingly polite about her opinions, but also unfailingly stubborn. She has a very concrete view of what the world should be like, and deviations from this ideal are met with anything from puzzlement to scorn, depending on the person.

Tikra believes very firmly in traditional gender Impressions and the color hierarchy. Women should mostly ride gold and green, and men the male colors. Gold and bronze pairs should be Weyrleaders. Even after garnets and female bronzeriders have sprung up across Pern, she still views them with discomfort. The Council system at High Reaches and Semaca is equally unsettling. If those people were meant to be leaders, she thinks, then they would have Impressed bronze or gold in the first place. In her eyes, green-pairs can lead wings, but not Weyrs. Nonbinary and transgender people are still a foreign concept to her, and she is still struggling with her sister being Weyrwoman.

She has a good heart, underneath all the stubbornness and traditionalism. She loves her sisters dearly, even if she still doesn't understand Tuckal and thinks of her as a man who somehow Impressed gold. At heart, she's a bit of a romantic, and dreams of a handsome bronzerider or brownrider who will sweep her off her feet some day. She keeps these dreams very well-hidden, though.

HISTORY
FAMILY: Tuckal of Gold Serapheth (younger sister), Gellera of Blue Virtrath (younger sister)
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: S'bor...somehow
BIRTHPLACE: Fort Weyr
HISTORY: Tikra had a typical upbringing for a weyrbrat. She knew who her parents and siblings were, but wasn't raised by her parents and didn't spend too much time with her siblings due to the age gap. She did make an effort to play with them sometimes - they were her siblings - but disapproved strongly of Tuckal's feminine side. Most, if not all, of her friends growing up were girls about her age. She watched some of her friends go off to apprentice once they were of age, but had no desire or affinity for any particular craft.

She decided to Stand once she came of age for that, more out of a sense of duty as a weyrbrat than a real desire to become a rider. Much to the envy of some of her childhood friends, and later Tuckal, she Impressed at her very first Hatching. Green Everieth was a kindred spirit, content to be a traditional green, even if she did like to argue with her rider just to annoy her sometimes. The pair graduated without incident, taking their place in the wings.

Soon after their graduation, Tuckal turned ten. Tikra decided to get her a special present, and scouted around for firelizard nests. That was one of the high points in their relationship. The sisters didn't interact much after that, Tikra busy with being a rider and disapproving more of Tuckal as she saw that her femininity wasn't just a phase. She supported her sister as she went through candidacy, though, hoping that Tuckal would Impress a proper bronze or brown.

Female bronzeriders made their appearance at Fort, and Tikra was horrified. Her horror only grew as garnet dragons appeared, and then...Tuckal Impressed. A gold. Tikra couldn't believe her eyes. She accepted her sister's ascension to Senior Weyrwoman, mostly because there were no other gold pairs until Nornth's birth. Speaking of which, she's not a huge fan of Blaze either. She was extremely concerned about the assassination attempt on Tuckal, and the Trailblazer poisoning incident, but felt powerless to help. She was just a wingrider, not a healer or leadership, it wasn't her place and she wouldn't know what to do anyway. Besides...did Tuckal even want her help, after their conflicted past together?

She's glad to see Tuckal mostly recovered and does her best to support her from the sidelines.

UPDATES
  • Summer 2767 - Tikra and S'bor officially become weyrmates, to the rightful disgust of many.

Everieth
Image

BASICS

NAME: Everieth
BIRTHDATE Early winter 2747
AGE: 22 as of fall 2770

CLUTCHING

CLUTCHING: NO
RUNS/FLIGHTS: 3

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 31 ft
HEIGHT: 8 ft
WINGSPAN: 48 ft
COLOR: Green
HEX CODE: #74A580
FULL APPEARANCE: Everieth is large for her color, though not exceedingly so. She's a bit stockier than the average green, with a strong chest and stout limbs. She will never be the fastest green, but she is able to keep up. Her hide is a study in greens; her body is a minty green, the undersides of her wings are a pale yet truer green, and the backs of her wings are dark, almost forest-green. She takes pride in these different shades, holding her wings so that the different shades can be clearly seen.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Everieth is just as stubborn and traditionalist as her rider, which leads to the pair of them being a force to reckon with when they're in agreement. Everieth enjoys arguing with her rider just to annoy her, though, playing devil's advocate to poke fun at Tikra's reactions. Though the green herself has few ambitions, she teases her rider about transferring to High Reaches or Semaca for a shot at being a Weyrleader. She has a well-developed sense of humor, finding joy in almost everything that fits into her worldview. She enjoys relaxing in the lakes, being oiled, and even watching the sun set with her rider.

She views dragons that don't obey the traditional hierarchy with dismay. What are they doing? Why are her fellow greens leading Weyrs? Why isn't a gold ruling, like at Fort? She keeps her opinions to herself and her rider unless pressed, but she's firm in her convictions. She is a green, meant to fill a wing and fight Thread. She will fulfill her role. She has no maternal instinct and thinks the worst sort of greens are clutching greens. Leave clutching to the golds, she says. Greens don't lay eggs often, clearly they aren't meant to and shouldn't.
