Historical Facts:
For Dragonriders:
Name: Senara
Age: 39
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Rank: Rider
About the Person:
Physical Appearance:
On the tall side of average, Senara is blessed with sandy brown hair that falls absolutely straight and is yet to be lightened with any trace of gray. This is part of what makes her look maybe five turns younger than she actually is. Her eyes are blue and her features somewhat sharp, more 'handsome' than 'pretty'. Well muscled and lean from turns of riding, she moves with economy, at times almost seeming to be lazy.
Her voice is mezzo soprano and pleasant, she does not possess a harper's talent or training but can sing quite nicely, and it's certainly her best feature. She prefers to wear blues and whites.
Personality:
Senara is a rider of many turns of experience and it shows. She was brash in her youth, and freely admits to considering herself and her dragon immortal. Now, she has mellowed, becoming a woman of quiet competence. Having no aspirations towards leadership, she is more one who stays in the background, occasionally providing advice.
She is a loyal friend and tends towards steady romantic relationships, punctuated only by flights. Maternal, however, she is not, and rather than being a parent, she left her daughter to the creche. Now, she is trying to become the teenager's friend. She ignores children in general, in fact, but treats teenagers as if they were adults.
She enjoys singing and when it comes to Gathers and the like, she often gravitates to the Harpers. She does not dress in a feminine manner and, indeed, might be classed as somewhat 'butch', and seems to date men and women about equally, with a slight preference for women in her serious relationships.
Historical Facts:
Family: S'kar, father, brownrider, deceased. Lissara, mother, crecheworker. Liston, half brother, journeyman weaver. Krisara, daughter.
Pets: None
History:
Senara is weyrborn and weyrbred. She was born at New Southern, in fact, the daughter of a brownrider and one of the crecheworkers. Her earliest memories are mostly of her mother, who raised her herself, but amongst the rest of the Weyr's children. Her father was somebody who dropped by relatively rarely, but she came to look forward to his visits. He often brought treats, and as she got a little older, gave her rides on his dragon. He was old to be her father, and perhaps his role was more like a grandfather.
She became a teenager and, in time, a candidate. Her second time Standing, Frikath found her...not at all to her surprise, as she was, by now, well aware of her attraction to women. A slender, greyish blue, he was everything she wanted in a dragon. Just perfect...but of course, aren't they all? Weyrling training, though, was marred by the loss of one of her closest friends from the creche, a boy named J'kor, who was lost Between. And graduation was marred by the death of her elderly father...a heart condition.
Not aspiring to leadership, she settled into a wingrider's role, and a series of relationships, most of them with women, but not all. It was a greenflight, though, that resulted in Krisara's conception...and a difficult birth after which the Healers suggested to Senara that she should not try to carry any further children to term, her extremely narrow hips and other factors meaning labor would always be hard for her.
Feeling little maternal interest, she handed Krisara over to the creche and got on with her life...although she did visit and, yes, took Krisara for rides dragonback just as her father had. For most of those years, she was weyrmated to a greenrider, Alora, in the longest term relationship of her life.
Senara is now thirty nine...and single again, after an amicable breakup. She is a Weyr fixture of value...an older, competent bluerider who is often a steadying influence on the younger riders around her.
For Dragonriders:
Name of Dragon: Frikath
Age of Dragon: 24
Color of Dragon: Sea
Appearance of Dragon: Of average size, Frikath is only about 27 meters long...but makes up for it in attitude. His hide is a greyish blue, almost steel-like in shade, but glints bright enough to ensure he could never be mistaken for the lightest storm cloud. He is lithe and whiplike, rather than stocky, with an unusually long tail that helps him be agile, but his stamina is a touch lower than most seas, perhaps in compensation.
Personality of Dragon: Age has only partially mellowed Frikath's attitude. A bit of a ladies man, he chases in every flight he has a chance of catching in (naturally, he has more sense at his age than to go after a sunshine or waterfall). He holds himself with pride, and clearly believes seas are the best dragons and he the best of those, with an almost feline desire to soak in the limelight. No, he's not a leader, that would be far too much work. He just likes to be, well. Admired. Preferably by females.
