Snuggle up and paw at my hairline
This is called love
This is all I need"

BASICS

NAME: Latyana ("Chana")
GENDER: Female
PRONOUNS: She/Her/Hers
ORIENTATION: Lesbian

BIRTHDATE: Early Winter 2728
AGE: 44 as of Early Spring 2773
LOCATION: Fort Weyr
OCCUPATION: Rider
WING: Aurora

APPEARANCE
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Brown
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5'5", average
PLAY-BY: Tina Fey
FULL APPEARANCE:
Latyana is an often frumpy-looking woman of around average height. Her eyes are dark brown, and her skin is fair though she gets a slight tan with sun exposure. Her hair is a medium-dark brown, somewhat curly, and a bit longer than her shoulders. She takes few pains with it, and it's often frizzy or thrown into a messy bun or runner-tail. She takes few pains with her appearance in general; she doesn't go through the effort to have clothes tailored to fit her, so her clothing is often ill-fitting, usually on the loose side. Wrinkles are a constant on her blouses and dresses, and only her trousers are really free of them just due to the nature of the garment. She sticks to cool colors and earth tones, because she's pretty sure they clash less and that means she doesn't have to pay attention to the color of anything—she has as a result been known to think plum and olive green is a perfectly reasonable color combination. All of her clothing is usually covered in orange cat hair. She has a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles for reading that she's only recently started to need.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Latyana is a bit of an oddball, aware of this fact, and completely unbothered by it. She knows who she is, and she's content with herself. She prefers the company of her pet cat to that of other people, and she absolutely dotes on the feline. Honestly, she loves all felines to a rather unusual level; were it not for her responsibilities as a rider, she'd probably keep several around, and every now and then she entertains the notion of trying to visit Semaca to see their spotties (which surely can't be as bad as the stories have made them out to be). It's her pet that keeps her from trying to transfer permanently to a place so full of the certainly-delightful creatures, because with Rumplekin's long hair she knows he'd be uncomfortable in such a climate, and his needs come before all of her wants. She instead spends some of her free time knitting sweaters with cats on them instead, and giving them to anyone who seems like they might need or want one.

She's a rather generous person, both with her time and what she owns, even if she isn't the sort of person that makes a lot of friends. People don't need to be her friends to need help, after all. She doesn't even need to like them, though she does like most people on at least some level. She's just a bit of a loner.

She can be quite pushy when she thinks she's in the right. Her reputation is of little consequence to her, so she doesn't hesitate to tell people off when they've done something to annoy her. This can be anything from being louder than she'd like in the evenings (she does enjoy her peace and quiet) to someone simply stating that they're a dog person rather than a cat person--she's happy to argue on behalf of felines for any imagined slight, no matter the time or if there's more important things to do.

HISTORY
FAMILY: None she's close to
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: None
BIRTHPLACE: Fort Weyr
HISTORY:
Born at Fort Weyr and raised in the creche, Latyana has really only ever had one home, and she's fine with that. She's not the adventurous sort, wanting to go out and explore new lands; even as a child, she was always quite a bit of a homebody. She never had a great number of friends when she was young, but there were always a few here and there. Mostly she kept to herself, paying as little attention in lessons as she could get away with in favor of daydreaming. Even those dreams were simple though: thinking of sweets that she might have after dinner, or imagining being a grownup with her own pet feline. She also spent a fair bit of time trying to feed other people's pets, and a few that weren't particularly well-supervised by their owners got to be quite overweight as a result--bafflingly so, to their owners.

Becoming a Candidate wasn't an easy decision for her. She knew her parents were riders, and had even had occasional meetings with them, but they'd never been close. Unlike them though, she had no real desire for adventure and wonder. In the end, it was a desire simply to help the Weyr in more ways that led her to begin standing around the time she turned eighteen. If she failed to Impress, well, she was also a fairly proficient cook, and improving all the time; when others had become Candidates younger, she had instead chosen to spend her days in the kitchens. Becoming a Crafter had never appealed to her, but everyone needed food.

It was a few Turns before her efforts were rewarded. Amawith was not what she expected a dragon to be; the green was sweet, and kind, and almost unbelievably cheerful, and maybe a little overprotective which she did suppose made sense. Still, the pair got along fantastically from the get-go, even if they weren't the most skilled of their class. Graduating into the tail end of a war wasn't ideal for them though. Amawith may have been willing to do what she had to in order to protect those around her, and Latyana had known exactly what she had gotten herself into, but when the time came the young woman found that she had no taste at all for violence and bloodshed.

After an incident in which Latyana just completely froze, unable to order her dragon Between after defending a Hold, the pair were transferred to Healers Wing. The war ended entirely shortly after, and they returned to the fighting wings to prepare for the coming of Thread. After all: Thread didn't bleed.

She spend most of the next Turns doing her duty and remaining shockingly oblivious to the politics of the Weyr around her. Oh, she was aware of the existence of power struggles, of changes in leadership, but she didn't pay much heed to the reasons behind them. All she cared about was her work as a rider, her pet feline Guinevere, and the occasional brief relationships she had with other women.

While all the Weyr likely faced losses over time, the one that hit Latyana hardest was the loss of Guinevere, her companion since her earliest days after graduating. It was soon after that she took in a fluffy ginger kitten, one she named Rumplekins because she was sure she'd heard the name in a story as a child and it was an adorable name for an adorable creature.

Still, she continued ignoring politics until she simply couldn't any more; the impact became personal when Aurora Wing's leadership was forcibly changed, and the wing suffered disastrous consequences during Threadfall as a result. Even Latyana found herself with political opinions after that, though once Tuckal was reinstated as Weyrwoman, she returned to her usual blissful ignorance. Politics could do real harm, but she still didn't want to be involved.

AMAWITH
Image
For we are all just fragile things
Soft and small and haven't been here before
Where the outside can harm you, reject you
But just stay close and I will protect you

-Wammawink (Centaurworld)

BASICS

NAME: Amawith
BIRTHDATE Early Summer 2751
AGE: 21 Turns as of Early Spring 2773

CLUTCHING
CLUTCHING: No
RUNS/FLIGHTS: 1

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 26 feet
HEIGHT: 6.5 feet
WINGSPAN: 38 feet
COLOR: Green
HEX CODE: #094d32
FULL APPEARANCE: Amawith is a relatively small green, just barely above the minimum sizes for her color. She tends to gain weight easily, and will always be on the chubbier side, with broad wings that look more built for endurance than maneuverability. That said, she is surprisingly agile, especially in the skies. She walks with a bounce in her step, her eyes whirling with cheerful hues of blue and green. Amawith’s main colors are a dark, foresty green and a muted gray-green. The forest green is draped over her like a blanket, which traces the backs of her wings, her forelegs, and up to her neck. The border between the two greens is marked with a design reminiscent of knitting, in a vibrant mint-green. Her inner wingsails are the same lovely color, and her face, hind feet, and tailtips are all dipped in the same hue.


PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: On one hand, Amawith is nurturing and motherly, a caretaker at heart who wants the best for her loved ones. On the other hand, she is overbearing and overprotective, trying to keep others safe. She tends towards enmeshed and codependent relationships, very much in others’ business, just to make absolutely certain that they are happy and comfortable. If she could, she would do everything for her loved ones, but alas, a dragon is not physically able to brush her rider’s hair. Generally, Amawith thinks she knows what is best for others, and her supportive nature tends to go a bit too far. If given the chance, she will be controlling and bossy, albeit in a well-meaning and loving way. Despite her focus on others and desire to do anything for her loved ones, she also tends to focus on her own emotions. She’ll take care of others, sure, but sometimes she forgets that their emotions and motivations might not line up with hers. She has a plan for them, and it’s obviously the best for all of them!

She loves children, both human and draconic. Her “family” includes both rider and feline, as well as anyone her rider cares for. She will take care of and protect her family, at all costs. Safety is a priority for her, and she is very happy at her home weyr. Semaca? Dangerous, think of the spotties and untamed nature! High Reaches? Too cold, her rider might get frostbite. So many dangerous things at Fort, and that’s the safest place for them!

Although Amawith is generally cheerful and happy, she can also be a bit much. Eager, energetic, and overly nurturing, Amawith likes to be in everyone’s business.

VOICE: Amawith has a nurturing, motherly voice.

RUMPLEKINS
Image


BASICS

NAME: Rumplekins
BIRTHDATE Late Winter 2769
AGE: 3 as of Early Spring 2773

APPEARANCE
FULL APPEARANCE:
Rumplekins is a large, long-haired ginger tabby cat. His fur is lighter on his legs and the end of his tail, closer to cream than orange, and his muzzle is white. His eyes are yellowy-green. His nose and paw pads are pink.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Rumplekins is a lazy lump of a cat. He's perfectly happy to doze all day and most of the night, preferably with either his human or his dragon (and it's clear he thinks Amawith is his) for a personal heater/bed. When roused from his slumber, he has all the energy of a young cat, but only in very brief spurts, and his preferred method of showing it is running around and using his human and dragon as springboards. He's not particularly interested in chasing toys, just sprinting about aimlessly.

Toward women other than Latyana, he's wary but warms up and demands pets and a free lap fairly quickly. He doesn't seem to like men, or people wearing hats--he'll hide even from his owner if she's wearing one.
