Usually she carries herself with an air of confidence, with good posture.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Lanec's most standout traits are that she is level-headed and sensible; she has a very strong moral code which she strictly follows, which, on one hand, makes her very organised and loyal - yet on the other hand, it can cause her to be a bit of a killjoy, always questioning whether or not something is reasonable. This leads her to be very serious, guarded and rigid around most people, only often loosening up around people who know her well. She firmly follows rules, and tends to plan ahead wherever she can - yet, this can cause her to be something of a control freak, at times. Though she values rules and structure, and thinks Golds should rule, she isn't very fond of violent or aggressive Golds, like Serapheth or Nornth. She is a perfectionist, and values order, wanting everything to be right where it belongs. She is wise, and will often try to offer her advice to others, even if they don't ask for it.
She is protective of just about everyone, often telling people to be careful, or make sure they know what they're doing - she enjoys teaching and helping people, however, this can often lead to trying to 'fix' people's flaws. She is strong-willed, and will not back down from an argument, always defending herself or others - yet, she can be a little too righteous from time to time, even becoming stubborn, believing herself to be in the right even when she's not. As well as this, she has a bit of a hero complex; she always wants to be the one to solve the problem, the one to help people, the one to make things better. Though her morals are often in the right place, there is a slight air of arrogance to her; she believes herself to be the most 'right for the job' no matter what the job is - yet, this makes her a hard worker, with a strong sense of duty, and a drive to get things done.

SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: Fort Weyr
HISTORY:
Lanec was born right in the heat of the Interval War, to two weyrfolk - though she spent most of her childhood being raised in the creche, her parents were proud of her and encouraged her dream of becoming a dragonrider one day. She was well aware of the risks and the dangers, but that did not dissuade her; after all, she wanted to be a hero, whether it was against Threadfall or a tyrannical leader. She wanted to do her Weyr proud; thus, at 15, she became a candidate, a turn before the War eventually ended and Thread returned, marking the start of the new Pass.
Many turns went by, along with many more candidacy lessons, and Lanec had still not impressed; however, as Golre was adamant to continue warring with Fort, she grew annoyed with High Reaches. Eventually, in 2761, she was killed, but Lanec still wasn't sure she trusted them. A few months after Golre was killed, she stood at a hatching wherein a gold dragonet murdered a candidate; a horrible thing to witness - what if Fort ended up with a Vizeth of their own? She didn't want to think too hard on that; besides, she was pretty sure the gold's chosen was a reasonable person. More hatchings went by, and still, not a single dragon had chosen her.
She eventually aged out in 2765; her only options, at this point, were to impress a wher, or travel somewhere else. Two Weyrs were offering candidacy up to 30; High Reaches, with whom she couldn't forgive for what they did to Fort during the Interval War, or a Weyr newly established on the Southern Continent. Though Semaca posed something of a risk, in her mind, it was still more noble than to go to a Weyr that terrorised her home. Thus, she eventually set out for Semaca. She was destined to get her dragon. She stood for a clutch in 2766 at which she eventually impressed to Brown Tobith; however, this clutch was far from un-controversial, as Nuuth rejected two of her dragons, a mutation and a chimera, chaos ensuing on the sands. Tobith was a lovely dragon, a quick learner throughout his lessons, but he absolutely hated Semaca's heat.
Upon graduating, the pair eventually moved back to Fort, away from the heat, only to learn that in the time she was gone, an entire group of weyrlings - including a new gold - had been poisoned and one had died. Though Lanec already wasn't fond of Serapheth, she was even less fond of Nornth, who seemed to be even more violent than her mother. However, she thought, she had her dragon now, and it would soon be time to fight Thread again. Tobith was never the best or most graceful flier, but, he got the job done. Lanec was proud of her dragon, either way; fighting Thread meant lives were being saved and that was what mattered. She could finally be the hero she'd always dreamed of being!
As tensions rose at Fort Weyr, with the new election of Z'osh, a staunch traditionalist, as Weyrleader, Lanec wasn't sure where her loyalties lay. She disagreed with many things the Weyrleader believed, however, she still didn't think Serapheth was a good fit to be in charge either. Though structure was important for the Weyr's stability, in her mind, Z'osh's mindset was very outdated, believing women shouldn't ride Bronze and mutations just shouldn't exist, the Weyrwoman's dragon was way too violent. Her disdain for High Reaches Weyr also continued when two eggs were stolen, and still continues to date.
