FULL APPEARANCE:
Lyari stands at about 5-foot 11-inches with a slim, lean build probably fitting more for someone who does a lot of running rather than a dragonrider. Their skin is naturally tanned with no freckles or blemishes other than an occasional scar from their youth or an unfortunate accident during the trials of life. Nothing of incredible note or particularly marring. Their black hair is kept short, though other than that they don't typically brush it with more than their fingers. After all, who has time for that when they've got a dragon to look after and a Weyr to help keep running? Their brown eyes are quite expressive, and they have trouble hiding their emotions.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Charismatic and friendly, Lyari is easy to get along with and easier to befriend, generally willing to talk to anyone who is interested or even just sit quietly as a presence in a room if someone doesn't want to talk. They'll lend an ear when needed for someone to rant, and offer advice where they can, but they're not a mindhealer so don't expect them to work miracles. They can sometimes feel obligated to help someone even if they don't ask for help, which can be problematic for all parties involved.
Toward those they view as genuine friends they can be quite protective, to the point of overprotective, and try to look out for their well-being wherever possible. From bringing them food from the kitchens to reminding them of their tasks, they can get occasionally overbearing, not terribly unlike a mother hen. That said, they don't want kids and hope they never have any; they don't do well around children despite being a middle child and never really know how to interact with anyone under Candidate age. They can freeze up when dealing with authority, especially if they believe they are in trouble for something, and tend to dwell on their mistakes longer than they should.

BIRTHPLACE: Minor Telgar Cothold
HISTORY:
Born the middle of three children, Lyari was neither doted on nor forgotten amongst the family. While never feeling as if they fit into the role of "female" they had been assigned, nor the fate of being found a husband and married with children, they didn't know that things could be different... at least, until they were Searched at age fifteen. Once arriving at the Weyr, they were given the freedom to reinvent themselves, from how they were perceived to match how they felt inside. It was like a whole new door to their life was opened. Immediately, they were much happier with the new, much more free and way of life, adopting neutral pronouns and changing their name to Lyari to suit the "new them." Despite their conservative upbringing, they adapted easily.
Standing for several clutches unsuccessfully, they finally transferred to Fort in the winter of 2761 for a particularly large clutch between gold Imorith and bronze Eberhardth. The first to hatch was a beautiful garnet dragonet, and as fate would have it this garnet was meant for them. Although the hatching itself wouldn't go off without a hitch--a candidate killed by the gold was nothing to scoff at--they were happy with their Phaedrath.
In late fall of 2763, Phaedrath would clutch for the first, and thus far only, time, a healthy set of eggs co-mothered by Green Adeshath. Lyari was proud of their dragon and the dragonets, but things would not remain good forever. In Fall of 2764, bronze Vaugnairth would be banished after fighting on the hatching sands and injuring one of the eggs. Although they considered joining the riders who departed from Fort, they decided to stay.
It actually wasn't until the regime of Z'osh and grounding of any non-traditional dragon-rider pair that the two had had enough. As soon as the coup was complete and all pairs had been put out of commission, Phaedrath and Lyari departed for Semaca. Whether they return or not is up in the air, but seeing the amount of work and help Semaca needs, they currently have no plans to do so, even if Z'osh is deposed.
