If I could see you.
Once more to see you."

FULL APPEARANCE:
Zhenya is a pretty woman. Her skin is pale and has the faintest smattering of freckles across her cheeks. She gets dimples in her cheeks when she smiles. Her face is a little long and her jaw a little angular, but her features fit into the created space well. She isn't very muscular, in fact, she's rather dainty. Her brown hair ends around the upper middle part of her back. Her eyes are a striking color of blue.
She is a fan of dresses and will try to stick to wearing them if at all possible. If she can wear a dress while riding her dragon? She's in one. If she can wear a nice skirt and a blouse? That'll work too. Pants are only worn in the most dire of circumstances just because she doesn't like them too much.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
You have a friend in Zhenya. Or, at least, a potential one. She believes in being a kind and hospitable person. She aims to be someone others can rely on, and maybe even consider a friend in their lives. She is generous, she is loyal, and by Faranth, she is friendly. She's always been more practical rather than creative and has the skills to reflect it. Growing up in a hold in a far more traditional time taught her her fair share of homemaking skills like cooking, cleaning, and sewing.
She feels a sense of duty to help those around her, be that with favors or by helping protect the weyr during Threadfall. She is selfless but all too self-sacrificing and will repress her own emotions to better help others. She is reluctant to change or improvise, to step outside of her comfort zone. But, if given an order by a superior she will always follow it as it is her duty.
Zhenya is always worried about how she is perceived by others. She is cautious and critical of being perceived as something strange or other, and she takes any kind of criticism to heart. She is needy in the way that she needs to know what others think of her as she wants them to see her in the way she tries to present herself. She has no greater fear than being unwanted by those she loves.
Adjusting to 10th Pass life is hard for her just because she misses her family so bad.

BIRTHPLACE: Fort Hold
HISTORY:
Zhenya had a rather blissful childhood. Her mother was a healer, her father a farmer. The two had met and fell in love, not long after came Zhenyana. They taught her how to look after herself, how to look after others, and how to look after their home. She picked up smaller jobs here and there as she got older, mostly watching after other people's children and other things like that.
It came as a surprise to her when she was searched at 15. She didn't think herself the type to be a dragonrider. But, the dragon said so, and she wasn't one to shirk any sort of work given to her. She left her home for Fort Weyr and begun to stand as a candidate. Her candidacy went by quite quickly given that she Impressed at 16 to a blue named Kraskath.
It so happened that she would end up two people who would become very important to her life after that. One was Neme, a
greenrider in her weyrling class. The second was Kol'ya, a brownrider in the weyrling class ahead of her. She fell in love with Kol'ya the second she saw him, love at first sight seemed to ring true for him as well. Once their weyrlinghoods were over, the two began to date. Not long after, they became weyrmates.
Zhenya continued to have a rather blissful life. She had six children with Kol'ya and made a point to be as present in their lives as her job as a rider would allow. The only real thorn in her side was that greenrider from her former class, Neme. They were in the same wing. Zhenya didn't hate her, per say, Zhenya didn't really hate anyone. But there was something between them that Zhenya never knew how to fix. It started after Zhen got some small recognition from their wingleader after a good job during Threadfall. Was Neme jealous? Did she hate her? Zhenya didn't think she had done anything to hurt her directly. It upset her to no end.
As the turns passed, that recognition fell away from Zhenya's mind... but not Neme's. As an act of spite, or hatred, or whatever it was, Neme gave Zhenya the wrong coordinates for betweening. Said something about the wingleader changing them up. Zhenya was suspicious... but it was an order. An order was an order, so she would keep the coordinates in her mind.
She shouldn't have. During Threadfall in 1339, Zhenya went between and never came back. Well, she never came back to 1339. Now, in 2774, she has finally reappeared... alongside a slightly older Neme. What in Faranth's name was going on here?
