FULL APPEARANCE:
Though they're small in stature, at 5' 4" tall, sturdy from Turns of hard work, Al'yra is a force of nature. Seeming to want to be noticed everywhere she goes, her bright blonde is kept in a bob and shaved along her temples, both to reduce drag in her Threadfighting helmet and by her own taste. Bright and commanding, her eyes are a dark blue color, but can occasionally appear steel grey under different light or from different angles. One could draw close to confirm or deny such a notion, but it isn't recommended for safety. Regarding her wardrobe, Al'yra likes her clothes functional and flashy As a result, while not wearing her Threadfighting gear, she often decides on a sleeveless top and some dark breeches, always accompanied by her beloved leather jacket and boots.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Headstrong and fierce are two good words to put her nature into words. Al'yra rarely accepts "no" as an answer and sees no such thing as defeat, always challenging limits and everything that's deemed to be impossible. Using her own two feet and her wits, she'll go where she pleases and Faranth protect those who try to stop her. Recklessness runs strong in Al'yra, sometimes to her benefit, but often to her and others' detriment. Should she find something that needs done, she'll get it done, no matter what stands in her path. More often than not, her reckless behavior can endanger her and sometimes others, as she hardly thinks things though before she's charging ahead.
One shouldn't underestimate her for her size. Al'yra has no issue bluntly stating what's on her mind or throwing hands. Being an adept fighter, they'll gladly beat someone's ass, given appropriate reason or not. Sometimes known to start fights, she's easily roused to anger and quick to call someone's bluff or bullshit, though she usually seems to engage someone who's provoked her directly or needs to be knocked down a peg. Though his intentions are usually good, he's been known to be resistant to being told he's wrong, often denying it and insisting he's right. Most attempts to correct her result in her walking away and blatantly decline to listen to someone telling her something she doesn't want to hear.
Should someone need saving, Al'yra is first to answer. Diving headfirst into danger for others is like second nature to them. Known for being brave and empathetic, though it's hard to see it under her attitude, full of sass and sarcasm. Sensitive to others' needs, Aliera is always ready to give someone hurting comfort and reassurance or a "get ahold of yourself" kick; it depends on what she sees someone needing most. Though her loyalty is hard to earn, her respect harder still, it would require Thread to fall in reverse to dissuade her once you've won both. Additionally, Al'yra is difficult to throw off. Hardheaded and tough, she can push through most things thrown at her. Though it doesn't seem like it, she's very serious about her duty to her Weyr, doing everything necessary to protect it.
HISTORY
FAMILY:
Mother - dragonrider - living
Brother (older) - dragonrider - living
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: Ista Weyr
HISTORY:
Alayra emerged a squalling and fighting thing, born while terrible storms raged across Ista's territory. As a weyrbrat, her childhood was unremarkable, spending her days doing chores and learning her lessons, being teased by her older brother and dogging dragonriders' heels. To be born into a Weyr granted her an amazing opportunity: to Stand by right of birth as a dragonriders' child. From a young age, Alayra started preparing herself to one day Stand on Ista's sands as a Candidate, to later Impress and fight under her home Weyr's banner.
Alayra signed herself up as soon as she was able, expecting to Impress in short order, but countless dragonets chose her classmates and childhood friends at every clutch she attended. Rather, it was as she neared aging from eligibility that her time had come. A fine bronze hatched and marched straight to Alayra. Hjalmarth had made his choice: she was his bonded and he was her long-awaited match, two halves to a whole. Al'yra was enraptured, entering weyrling training alongside her bronze proud as could be.
Hjalmarth had matured into a magnificent bronze dragon as Al'yra graduated from training, flying against Thread successfully and sustaining no serious injury. Not much later, Hjalmarth won a beautiful garnet in mating flight, whereupon Al'yra and his garnet's bonded grew close, accepting each other as weyrmates in short order. But as time went on, a resentment bloomed between them, on matters Al'yra would rather forget. In truth, they weren't meant for each other, but neither cared to admit it. Rather than stay in Ista, where she'd see her ex-weyrmate every day, Al'yra and Hjalmarth transferred to Semaca Weyr, who called for willing hands to help them build something great. What awaited them?
UPDATES
- Late Fall 2773: In Threadfall, Hjalmarth doesn't notice some Thread falling from above, which lands on Al'yra, badly scoring her chest, left arm, and left thigh. (Major) Hjalmarth panics, colliding with Espinneth in his hurry to get to Healers below; he's miraculously unharmed in the crash.
- Early Spring 2775: Spotties attack Semaca's most vulnerable while most of its fighters are away in Threadfall, but Al'yra and Hjalmarth leave Nocturne to help fight the spotties. One tackles Al'yra from behind, and her left arm is dislocated when she falls (Moderate). Thankfully, the spotty runs off to attack someone else.
- Early Summer 2775: Hjalmarth chases Xialath on her maiden flight and earns her favor, where she later lays a clutch of twenty eggs! [Clutch]
