HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5'8" || Tall and lean
PLAY-BY: Taylor Momsen
FULL APPEARANCE:
Nolia stands before you at five feet and eight inches in height. You can tell that she seems to be on the skinny side, but that is not the truth. She is just keeping any weight off by constantly moving around and keeping herself busy and fit. There are undefined muscles all over her body, but the muscles seem to be a bit more defined on her legs. This comes from the running that she likes to do to stay in shape and not be standing around idle. Her skin tone seems to be that of of a slight tan, but still kind of pale. Her skin is smooth and tight, which just is a symbol of her young age.

Her hair is long and naturally wavy with a blonde hue for the coloring. She normally likes to wear her hair up and out of her face, especially while she is working or running around. It makes her feel better not having that distraction in her face. But when her hair is not out of her way, it will fall in whichever way it wants, but those natural waves will be seen more easily and more defined than they would be pulled back.

PERSONALITY
STRENGTHS: Strong, Patient, Knowledgeable, Kind/Caring
WEAKNESSES: Stubborn, Headstrong, Workaholic, Insecure

LIKES: Working, Learning New Things
DISLIKES: Bullying, Losing Someone

PERSONALITY:
Right from the start, she as shown that she was a strong person. Living on the Weyr with her parents seemed to have made her that way. Her strength just seems to keep her on the path of what she has decided to do. When she wants to do something, but it involves something that could make a person squeamish, she will try her best to stay strong. Sadly, this doesn't always work, but at least her running away is less and less now a days. But even if she feels like she needs to run away or that something she is doing is difficult, she is still patient. This patience goes toward everyone and everything. She doesn't like to feel rushed, so she knows that others won't like to feel that way either, or at least, that is what she likes to think.

But her favorite things to always do are to help others, work, and learn. She feels that as a Healer, she needs to work a lot to be able to learn everything that she can learn. She knows that she won't be able to go and become a Master Healer, but that doesn't matter to her, she just wants to be able to help others heal and not let anyone leave earlier than they need to. Which brings up her greatest dislike and fear, losing someone who she could have saved. She doesn't like to lose patients and she hates the sound of a dragon losing their bonded. She can't imagine how much it hurts, but knowing that the pain drives the dragon to going Between, she knows that it must be horrible.

This fear leads to her stubbornness, if she feels that she can save someone, she will, no matter what others may say. Her stubbornness seems to drive her headstrong attitude at that moment as well. For she will just bark commands if she needs something and no one is doing anything. She works herself to the bone at times, and has to be reminded by Mikanoth to go and eat and care for herself. She will always put Mikanoth and others before herself, which tends to make her big sister of a dragon even more of a big sister to her. Nolia loves this though and she wouldn't change that for the world. But when she is talking to someone she likes or anything, her insecurity about herself kicks in. Nothing ever happened to her in her past, but she just doesn't feel secure about being in her own body in a way. It is something that she does want to out grow.

HISTORY
FAMILY:
Narla: Mother, Green Rider, 51
Orlin: Father, Blue Rider, 52
Arlina: Sister, Wher Candidate, 21

SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: High Reaches Weyr
HISTORY:
During the summer of turn 2742, Narla and Orlin had a little girl which they named Nolia. This little girl was to be coddled by her mother and her mothers green. She enjoyed every day that she got to spend with them, and once her mother had to go back to her duties as a Dragonrider, she missed her family completely until they got to come home. But because of her parents being low on the totem pole for Dragonriders, she was automatically placed into a group of Weyrbrats. This wasn't by anyone in particular, at least, so she thought, but she was with other children who were born to low ranking riders. Everyday she would be called names by the high ranking children, and it made her mad. She wanted to be strong though, so that is what she did. She was going to be strong, for herself and for her family.

When she turned five turns though, her mother had another daughter, and was then told that she could no longer have anymore kids. This was because her health during the two pregnancies was not what the Healers wanted it to be. But now, Nolia had her little sister, Arlina, to protect from the bully Weyrbrats, and that is just what she did. She made sure that her sister was safe and had fun, instead of getting picked on. Nolia decided that she was going to be a dragonrider just like her parents, but her sister, well, she wanted to be a wherhandler.

It took a few turns for her to decide what she wanted to do. She was starting to get tired of just hanging around the other Weyrbrats, no offense to her growing sister, but she wanted to do something else with her life. So when she turned nine, she went to one of the Healers on the Weyr, and she asked if they could teach her the Healercraft. She had fun learning all of the new things, but with her becoming a bit of a workaholic at such a young age, she stopped watching over her sister like she had done before. Instead, now she was able to be constantly found with the Healers, learning and practicing. She wanted to be able to help everyone that she could, and she was hoping that by constantly practicing, that would prove to the Craft Masters that she was going to be the best Healer that she could be.

When she was eleven turns, there was a dragon candidate who had come in from being mauled at a hatching. She was told that she had to help by getting the supplies that were needed, and to mainly stay out of the other Healer's way. She did as she was told, but just the site of the candidate made her stomach queasy, but she was determined to stay in this craft, so she fought down that fear with the strength that she learned to hold near and dear to her heart many turns before hand. That turned seemed to be very eventful though, because Golre had declared the High Reaches to be the Peacekeepers.

But not long after, Golre declared war on Fort Weyr and the High reaches attacked them. Nolia stayed at the Weyr with the Healers, and she worked tirelessly as more and more wounded seemed to come home. But the High Reaches Weyr lost the battle and in the process had lost two full wings. Nolia didn't know what to think of this news, but in the summer of her twenty-first turn, she became a Journeyman Healer, but her heart was pulling her to something else, so she went to the Candidate Masters on the Weyr, and she joined them. She knew it had to look bad, to become a Candidate right after getting her Journeyman status, but she just felt a strange pull.

It didn't even take a turn, for the fall right after she became a candidate, a hatching happened. That was when she met her bond, her friend, her big sister. Nolia, you will be mine, but you must remember to take care of yourself. That voice was soft but stern when spoken to her, and she looked to see the dark green dragon staring directly at her. That was the day that her life changed forever, and for the best in her opinion. They started their weyrling lessons right afterwards, and the two of them seemed to be quite the pair on the intelligence levels.

It was the next turn that worried them both. They knew others could get harmed, and since Nolia had opted out of giving Mikanoth firestone, the green dragon was unable to fight thread like the others. But they were also still just weyrlings, which put them at a different disadvantage altogether. But this did not stop the two of them from helping where they could with what they could. They continued their lessons and helped when they had the time. But when they heard that Danse of Gold Macath had been killed by the thread, it pained them both. But the only thing they could really do was to continue their lessons, and one day they would be able to help more, and possibly even help fight the thread.

Then summer came, and along with it, a plague. This plague did not help things at all with the fighting of the thread. In fact, it seemed to make the Healers jobs even harder, because now people were getting sick and dying of both the plague and thread. There seemed to be no upside to this turn to Nolia. But she had Mikanoth to remind her of the good things. Like the hatchings that had happened and the new mutations that seemed to show up in dragons, whers, and firelizards. Nolia spent the rest of the turn looking to her "big sister" Mikanoth. Once Mikanoth was able to start to fly, the pair figured out that Mikanoth would only fly twice a turn.

Nolia knew that since she had opted out of giving Mikanoth firestone, that the green would be able to have clutches of her own. Nolia knew right away on thinking that, that Mikanoth would make a great clutch mother, just because of how she is normally. But the winter seemed to hold another severe threadfall for Pern, and more people and dragons were taken from them. Nolia was starting to silently hope that the next turn would hold better fortune that the turn that just passed. She was hoping that things would get easier and better, even just for a single season.

Everything seemed to go perfectly, until the winter of turn 2765. Nolia and Mikanoth had just been assigned apart of the Healer Wing for High Reaches, which made Nolia happy because that meant that she could go back to working on her Healing craft again, even if just a little bit. But that winter held a horrible day for a couple of flights. Garnet Ariath and Gold Midath had rose on the same day at the same time, but something had gone wrong during it, because Gold Midath was found dead. This lead for the Garnet's permanent grounding. Nolia had told Mikanoth to try to avoid flying at the same time as other dragons, just because she didn't want to lose the green. Nolia couldn't fathom the Gold's rider's reaction or pain, nor did Nolia want to.

But that didn't seem to end things, because Zeresh, who was the Junior Weyrleader, was assassinated. A former holder, Xander, was found responsible but when he got imprisoned, he was attacked as well. Nolia was starting to fear life on High Reaches, but Mikanoth kept telling her that things would HAVE to get better. Nothing can stay bad forever. As if true to Mikanoth's words, things started to calm down, which helped calm Nolia down. Eggs were being donated to the new weyr, new mutations were being hatched with each hatching it seemed. But when High Reaches elected their new council, they put Xander in charge. She knew that the charges that had been placed upon him were cleared, so this seemed like it was a good idea.

No matter how much Nolia wishes for things to get better, the current Threadfall is fighting that fact. Almost an entire wing has ended up in the Infirmary, and this has made it to where Nolia is busier than ever. Mikanoth has had to remind her time and time again to take care of herself, but Nolia feels like there is no time for her while others are suffering.

COLOR: Green
HEX CODE: #007300

FULL APPEARANCE:
Mikanoth is a vibrant forest green in color. Her body is long and tall, with full wingsails. Her limbs are long and gangly, but she'll grow into them by the time she's fully grown. Her wings are covered is long streaks of extremely pale green, shapes very similarly to lightning bolts.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Mikanoth is somewhat of a tomboy when it comes to her social interactions. She is not overly feminine or girly; she instead prefers to be physically fit and show off around those she is friendly with. To those she does not know well, or someone she has just met, she often seems distant or disinterested, but this is rarely the case; more often, she is simply observing and learning about another, before reaching out to make a new friend. This falls in line with her habit of tending to stick to familiar comforts instead of being the first to volunteer for something or try something new.

She is an extremely intelligent dragon, and can often be stubborn due to the fact that she knows she is smart. She will choose to get into debates with people on things, preferring people who think about things instead of having pig-headed, poorly thought out opinions. She can seem mean because of this, but this is far from the truth - she is in fact, an extremely loyal and sincere dragon, who will always giving honesty and kindness to those around her.

Voice: Mikanoth is well spoken, but often exciteable. Her tone varies from soft to loud depending on what she's feeling.
