PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: At first, Weiss is very cold and strict to other people. This usually causes friction between her and other people due to her appearance of dislike. Along with this, she can be seen as arrogant due to her intellect and the confidence she has in her skills. This causes her to be distant from most people as a result. However, once people get to know her and spend time, they find out she holds a great deal of trust and, while she sounds mean when she criticizes someone, she meant it in a way to encourage them to improve. She is also dedicated to improving herself, as she knows she isn't perfect and while she can't be perfect, she can still always improve and help people.

BIRTHPLACE: Smith Hall
HISTORY: TW: Violence
Weiss was born the middle child of a smith and his wife. Her father had wanted to create a legacy of smithers in the family and was ruthless in his training to become a master. He expected his children to be perfect and to follow his standards. For a good portion of Weiss's life, that was how it was and how she felt it would be.
At least.. until Wint had been searched. She had grown tired of her father's attitude and how he treated the members of her family. When she left to join the Telgar Weyr, her parents had a huge fight and it was revealed to Weiss and Whitley that Jacques had only married Cotteti to start a family legacy of smithing, not because he loved her. This caused a rift between her parents.. and with Weiss and Whitley.
Meanwhile, Wint sent her family letters about her training in the Weyr. While her father ignored the letters, Weiss grew fascinated about the Weyr her sister told her about and wanted to join her sister. When she turned fifteen, Winter had sent her a personal letter saying that she would be a perfect fit to become a candidate and that she would love if she moved to the Weyr. As a searcher had noticed Weiss and wanted her to become a candidate too (much to her father's displeasure), she decided to leave to the Weyr.
Her and her father had a nasty fight that night that ultimately led to Weiss leaving to join the Telgar Weyr.
She had a new motivation, after all. She worked hard to become a candidate and with each hatching, she waited to see if she had impressed a dragon. However.. there was no such luck.
For two years, she had come to the hatchings and left without a dragon.. It made her feel like she'd never be able to impress. That was until Glyphith's hatching took place.
Everyone had seemed surprise to see the garnet hatch and came to approach Weiss. As Glyphith spoke, it reminded Weiss a lot of her older sister and she broke down crying.
Not from sadness, but happiness.
Since then, the two have never once separated and Weiss feels pride as she works alongside her dragon and her older sister.
After they graduated, Weiss had told her sister she planned on going to High Reaches. While Wint was surprised, she encouraged her sister to go there. Weiss knew how dragonriders were viewed in the past for High Reaches Weyr, but she did not let it bother her.
After all, that was the past, and the past wasn't going to hold her back.
