PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Ercilia is a bit more friendly than her brother. She is not very patient, however, with most people and thus, resorts to being sarcastic. She has an intolerance to people who tend to act immature or try to rush things, as she believes that their time will always come. She tends to feel more at home around dragons and wher. She is also a bit of a maternal figure, often helping out those younger than her if she can. However, much like her brother, she can be rather harsh and uncaring if she does not care about someone.

HISTORY: Ercilia was born the youngest of a set of twins. Their parents had always wanted a large family and were ecstatic to have a pair of twins. Their oldest daughter, Anamarie, had already been searched at this time, going to Igen Weyr and Bernado was almost old enough to be searched as well.
The twins were excited about this. They always wanted to be like their older siblings, as they had looked up to them. As their older sister and brother were both searched, they became anxious. Would they be searched? Would only one of them be searched? Luckily, both were searched at the same time and became candidates in Igen Weyr.
The two had decided that they wanted to be dual candidates, mostly as they wanted to be by each other's side. After all, this was something that neither of them wanted to experience, being away from their twin. It was also during this time that Semaca Weyr was recognized. Almost immediately, the two decided to go there at eighteen.
Then, it happened. One day, Ercilia was chosen by the wher mother while they were in the wher barracks. This was surprising, as neither of them had expected not to be called together.
As an egg was slid to her, she stood there in shock. She was worried, moving to touch the egg. As it hatched, a bright bubblegum pink wher jumped out and almost tackled her to the ground. The dragon was dancing around, being quite happy that Ercilia was there waiting for her. Due to her happiness and her excitement, she did not sense her brother's jealousy, nor did she expect that he felt horrible that she impressed first.
He also felt that this meant that he'd have to go to Semaca Weyr alone, telling his sister later that week. However, neither of them planned on leaving the other, so they waited for two years before transferring to Semaca together.
Ercilia was quick to join the weyr squad and worked hard to help those she could. However, she did not notice her own twin stewing in his jealousy.
