Aela, Weyrling of Obsidian Talath

Name Aela
Pronunciation Ay-LUH

Age 16 Turns
Season Born in Fall

Gender Female
Sexuality Heterosexual

Appearance Aela stands at 5'1 and weighs 130 lbs. Her hair is a deep auburn, almost brown, color with tight curls in it. On hot days her hair is pulled back so she can try to keep cool, but the rest of the time its down and carefree. Her skin is sunkissed from a lot of time in the sun. Every muscle in her body is hardened from a lot of use growing up.

Aela's clothes are always comfortable. She wears whites and light browns and leather shoes. When its cold she wears the proper clothing and furs. The only time she wears dresses or other party clothes is when there are some kind of festivities like Graduations for Weyrlings and Wherlings. Her dresses consist of colors such as dark blues, dark greens, and even some light colors such as pinks and purples.

On really hot days she wears light clothes that help her keep cool. The material is very light (like cotten). She makes sure its soft, but comfortable. When the event arises she wears the proper swimwear into the water and tries to swim (she fails miserably). On occassion she likes to change her hair color from auburn to either black, brown, or red. The yellow colored hair never really suited her.

Personality Aela is a smart and caring girl. She has always been interested in helping others and was never afraid to speak her mind when she wanted to point out a mistake. Aela thought it was better to be hit for speaking one's mind then not speaking it at all. Aela learned from a young age that if one didn't speak their mind about anything then they wouldn't have the courage to stand up for themselves.

Death is not something that Aela takes well. However, she will do what she can to make sure that families get to say good-bye to their loved ones if they don't make it. Aela doesn't like to see families not being together in the final moments of the dying family member. Though she knows if the moment is sudden then there is nothing to be done about it.

Aela doesn't like bullies or anyone who harms those weaker than themselves don't deserve anything. Aela tries to protect those who hadn't been taught to stand up for themselves. If anything she will do what she can to get them to come out of their shells so to speak. Another thing that she doesn't like besides bullies is disorganization. Aela tries her best to keep herself organized most of the time, but sometimes she fails and can't find anything. Being disorganized causes her to be frustrated and she doesn't like being frustrated.

One thing that Aela is very frightened of is drowning. Since she was little she has just been naturally afraid of water... well not when it comes to bathing or drinking, but the kind where you have to actually swim. Aela has tried hard to get over her fear, but she has yet to be successful. She hopes that she will have the help she needs and finally enjoy swimming like normal people.

Family (if any) T'lessen (father, Brownrider, deceased), Ataliah (mother, drudge, 40), and Lesstaliah (sister, 17, Apprentice Harper)

Location Point Hold, Trelis Weyr
Rank Weyrling (Formerly Apprentice Healer, formerly Dragon Candidate)

History Aela was born to Brownrider T'lessen and drudge Ataliah at Point Hold. Her sister was born in the spring 2 Turns before she was. When Aela came along the family was happy. They had two healthy daughters and cared deeply for them. T'lessen wanted one of his daughters to follow in his footsteps, but he didn't want to push them. Aela and Lesstaliah always fought as to who would follow their father. Both girls had been sent to the Halls when they were 13 Turns old for training.

Right away Lesstaliah was into Harpering and when it was Aela's turn, Healing. The girls learned everything they could and more. Aela studied hard and healed when healing needed to be done. Aela and her sister watched as other apprentices were Searched. The girls made a pact that they would not stay jealous (if they were) at the other if they were Searched.

Less than a Turn after Aela arrived at the Halls did she acquire a Firelizard. The girl went to a Firelizard Hatching with a bowl of meatrolls and tempted each baby that was born. It wasn't until the end that she bonded with a Blue Firelizard. She then named him Crest.

2 Turns after Aela was at the Halls another band of Searchriders came. The Searchriders listened to their Dragons and then listed the likely Candidates for any upcoming Hatchings whether they were Whers or Dragons. Aela had been busy putting a salve together when her master came to get her. On the way she saw her sister too had been summoned. When the pair reached the Dragonriders they saw a lot of the other apprentices there. The Dragonriders went through and pointed to the Searched ones. Then a Greenrider came to Aela and Lesstaliah. Aela waited with baited breath and then the rider pointed to... her! Aela had been Searched! With excitement she climbed onto the back of the Greenrider's Dragon.

The band of Searchriders disappeared Between and reappeared at Trelis Weyr. Aela was excited to have been Searched and she couldn't wait to start her new life. Aela wanted to help Heal others until she was chosen by a Dragon.... if at all. Aela vowed that she would be a Dragonhealer if she did not Impress. She wanted to help heal the people at Trelis Weyr no matter what happened.

Name Crest
Pronunciation N/A
Age 2 1/2 Turns
Type Firelizard
Rank Blue
Size 19 In
Color Codes Blue, 3941DB

Appearance Crest is a small Blue compared to his brothers. He was the smallest of his Clutch (besides his Green Clutchsisters). Thanks to his small size he is extremely agile and quick. His muscles are supple and help him manouver better in the air and into tight spots. Crest got his name for his Blue hide and how it has a slight whiteish hue to it as if he was part of a wave crest.

His wings are slightly bigger than his body. They help keep him in the air and are very strong. Crest's wings are very strong because of all the flying and racing he has done. On his left wing he has a small scar from where he accidentally got caught on his claw in his excitement to get to Aela. The tear healed, but left a scar in its place.

Personality Crest is smart and protective. He cares deeply for his bonded and he will do anything to please her. Crest doesn't do anything without thinking it through first. If he knows that the end result is bad then he doesn't do the action. The only exception to the "not thinking it through first" rule is if his is in harm's way. Crest will defend her with his life. This smart Blue also considers himself handsome despite what his bonded thinks.

Crest is adorable and loveable. He will like anyone who offers him food, but he doesn't give his trust blindly. He takes after Aela in the aspect. He takes time to completely trust someone and liking them for the food they give him doesn't count as trusting. Crest actually sometimes thinks its suspicious and sometimes he hisses without meaning to. This little Blue is full of different emotions, but the strong ones lie around his bonded and how he will care for her.



Name: Spots
Type: Canine
Size: Medium-small
Appearance: This little guy is just that: little. The runt of the litter, this guy is significantly smaller than any of his siblings. But that doesn't matter, because he'll be big and strong one day, won't he? Not really, he will remain on the small side all of his life, and no amount of food will get rid of the thin, lanky look he has. To make him look even more malnourished, he has incredibly long legs for his size.
Personality: Angsty, broody, feels under appreciated, hateful, nervous, unsure of himself, impulsive, selfish
Age: 1

Dragon/Wher Preference Any should do. Except Bronze of course!
