L'ra of green Tamith

L ' R A

All you need is faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie dust.
And that's how you change the world.


BASICS

RETIRE INFO: retire L'ra, adopt Tamith
NAME: L'ra (Leora)
GENDER: female
PRONOUNS: she/her/hers
ORIENTATION: um, yes? Maybe.

BIRTHDATE: Late Summer 2753
AGE: twenty-one as of Late Summer 2774
LOCATION: High Reaches Weyr
OCCUPATION: greenrider, eternal optimist
WING: Starfall

APPEARANCE
EYES: Hazel
HAIR: Brown
HEIGHT AND BUILD: five feet and eleven inches, tall and strong
PLAY-BY: Noemie Lenoir
FULL APPEARANCE:
L'ra is every bit the embodiment of a sunny day. From her wavy brown hair caught up in a carefree and messy tail to the graceful flare of her favorite blue dress, L'ra is free and warm. Her most frequently used accessory is a smile, but she's particularly fond of bracelets. And while she's still a little too thin to have yet grown into her own height, weyrling training has done much to dispel that. She has a particular love of bright colors and will wear just about any apprentice tailors' experiment in color. Fortunately, she looks good in most things. Her complexion is suited for bright, saturated tones, but she picks her wardrobe by how the colors make her feel.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:

Perhaps unsurprisingly for someone who likes colors as much as L'ra does, she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. Her philosophy is that although she can not control her circumstances, she can always control how she reacts to them. She chooses to react with good humor, with light, and with hope. Her positive attitude has stood her in good stead so far in life.

The thing is that the world can't be fixed by being determined that things were fine. The longer L'ra stays at High Reaches, the more she sees the terribly fragile state of the world. Her inclination is to try to fix things by pushing that which is light, and good, and sweet. Even when confronted with the truth that the world is messy, she sticks to her guns. How can the world continue like that when L'ra is there to hold the line? Her confidence that a good attitude is all the world needs to change makes her somewhat sanctimonious. If things are going wrong for you, you must not have the right attitude. And if you don't have the right attitude, then that's your problem.

In a way, that's her greatest strength tied into her one of her biggest weaknesses. She holds the belief that if she can be the light and change, the world will simply accommodate her. Being able to hold a belief like this takes strength, and a solid core of iron. The problem is that she doesn't believe that she has to go any further to fix things. Nonviolence? More like nonaction! And honestly, she's a little lazy about it. That's another big weakness. She doesn't think she has to put any work into changing anything. But that's one thing that makes her the moral compass that points to light and hope, keeping Tamith's war on Pern from becoming nothing more than a revenge fest. And in time, who knows? Maybe Tamith will spur her to action in turn.

HISTORY
FAMILY: a family of minor holders at Ista
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: none, for now
BIRTHPLACE: Ista Hold
HISTORY:

Leora was a younger sister to a family at Ista Hold. There hadn't been a rider from her immediate family in several generations, but there was a branch of the family at the weyr that had Impressed a wher. Leora loved to see the dragons flying overhead, and her parents promised her that if she were ever lucky enough to be chosen on a Search, she would be allowed to go to the weyr to try her chances.

As fate would have it, Leora was Searched the next time the riders came through, not long after her fifteenth birthday. Leora made friends with her fellow candidates, and privately decided that she couldn't possibly choose a favored color. They were all wonderful in their own way, from the majestic golds all the way to the often delicate whites. Leora had no particular lofty goals for a dragon other than to get one.

Clutches weren't particularly hard to come by, but Leora was left standing for two Turns. When it was announced that Maktooth's next clutch would be donated to High Reaches Weyr, Leora asked if she could transfer to try her luck there. She was warned that High Reaches desperately needed the numbers and that transferring back might not be easy. By then, she'd shed her holdborn identity in favor of the weyrfolk. Transferring didn't scare her any more than any other big change.

Impressing, now, that was a grand, scary adventure. Leora thought she knew how hatchings were supposed to go. Stand in your clean white robes, wait for a hatchling to choose you, maybe jump out of the way if you happened to be between them and their chosen. When her Tamith hatched, she had to act quickly to prevent blood from staining the sand.

My Leora, help me!

Leora was not noted for being particularly speedy, but she'd never run so fast in her life to pull her green away from the garnet she fought. Leora thought she had signed up for a life defending her home from Thread. But with Tamith by her side, newly minted L'ra had just embarked on a one dragon crusade against the whole world. No one with traitorous intent was safe, particularly not garnet Pamith.

UPDATES
  • Spring 2772 - L'ra and Tamith graduate weyrling training and join Starfall Wing. Very exciting.
  • Summer 2772 - Tamith's convictions that her garnet sister cannot be trusted are proven correct when Pamith turns her rider in for conspiracy. She is sanctimonious about it.
  • Spring 2774 - L'ra attends a fire lizard hatching where she meets a time traveling candidate, has many questions about that, and Impresses an anxious blue fire lizard.

She won't get away with this. I won't let her.

BASICS

NAME: Tamith
BIRTHDATE Early Fall 2770 (Nightwing)
AGE: Three as of Spring 2774

CLUTCHING

CLUTCHING: YES
RUNS/FLIGHTS: two

APPEARANCE
Image
LENGTH: thirty feet (30 ft)
HEIGHT: seven feet and six inches (7.5 ft)
WINGSPAN: forty-five feet (45 ft)
COLOR: Green
HEX CODE: #0c7150
FULL APPEARANCE:
On the larger end of greens, Tamith is lean and built for speed and agility over stamina. Like her sister, Pamith, Tamith has feather-like markings on her narrow wings and a distinctively bird-like cast to her narrow face. Her coloring is a rich, true green, marked with swirls on her shoulder in a brighter, mint-green shade. A line from this marking runs across her body and down the opposite foreleg. Tamith also has linear markings running beneath her eyes and on her two hind paws.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
If Pamith's sin is treachery, then Tamith's is wrath. Tamith greets the world as a war, with her goal being to make the rest of Pern pay for their transgressions against her home. She will be steadfast against any transfers. She is a brilliant green, with a five-day memory. She is not indiscriminately angry, and her wrath is only turned on those who deserve it - and always betrayers. She would make a poor teacher. She has great pride in herself and in her wingmates. She is strong willed, with a sharp wit and sharper tongue.

To her bonded, Tamith still may be a struggle. She is ambitious, and maybe overly so. She has her dreams set higher than the Red Star, and she may drag them along with her. That is not to say she does not care about them, for she does deep in her heart. She sees so much about the world that needs changing, and she believes she needs to lead the charge to do so. What is she to do, if not lead the revolt?

HATCHING

Clutch: The Herald of the Rites Clutch
Dam: Gold Maktooth
Sire: Bronze Akaranath
Hatching Number: nine of seventeen
Details: Tamith hatched at the same time as her sister Pamith, from Softwing Harp. The two simultaneously Impressed and began fighting, pulled apart only by their riders.
Why: Leora's idealism is the perfect temper for Tamith's vendetta, while Tamith's crusade will force Leora out of her perpetual inaction.

Edgewing Lute
A medium-sized magenta egg with the visage of huntbird wings on the sides. This egg is spiteful, and bitter.

BASICS

NAME: Skyler
BIRTHDATE Spring 2774
AGE: Newborn as of 2774

APPEARANCE
SIZE: tiny
COLOR: Blue
HEXCODE: #353b5d
FULL APPEARANCE: Although tiny, this little blue is absolutely stunning. His hide is a deep midnight blueish sort of color, and he will expect his owner to take care of it meticulously. Beautiful wispy markings outline the edge of his wings in turquoise and sky blue, creating a lovely and otherworldly pattern.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: This little guy is a sweet one, who loves to hang out with his owner. He’s perfectly content to just sit on her shoulder, though he’ll go on plenty of adventures with his siblings as well. He’s capable of chirping beautifully, his chirps high-pitched and almost like he’s singing. However, those high-pitched chirps can rapidly become annoying when he panics, which he does quite easily. He calms down just fine with a few soft words or touches from his human, though.

Why Me?: he’s super sweet but he needs someone capable of handing a more anxious baby, since he panics easily. I thought L’ra would fit that role just fine!
