Name Abetzi
Pronunciation Ab-bet-Z
Age 19 turns
Season Born in Winter
Gender Female
Sexuality Heterosexual *could be bi-romantic*
Appearance
Abetzi could be called pretty by some. With white blonde hair that darkens more in some places, the wavy, long mane often gets in Abby’s way. The older sister has tanned skin, that unfortunately she knows will pale if she impresses, and a more angular face than Sariya’s. Gray eyes, inherited from her grandmother, are set in her skill as a more natural oval shape. Add a spray of freckles from all her time in the sun, a proud nose, and lips that are just full enough to make Abby happy and you have her completed face.
Her body however doesn’t hold so much feminine appeal. Being on the shorter side, Abby is 5ft 4 in and built like a runner. She’s stick thin and has a complete absence of curves. However, her limbs are strong from working with runnerbeasts. Those same limbs are long, especially her legs, so from afar someone may think she’s taller than she is.
As for clothes, if anyone tries to put Abby in a dress or skirt, they’re as good as dead. This candidate wants pants; worn out and littered with grass stains and patch up jobs. Anything else besides this is absolutely unacceptable. Abby also prefers soft shirts and even vests to peasant tops or blouses. Her favorite color to wear is blue, but she’ll take anything else really. Abetzi isn’t one to be too picky about what she wears, if it’s not girly, she’s fine.
Personality
Abetzi is a tomboy and just as much of a Pernese cowgirl as her grandmother was. Preferring actions over fancy words, it takes time to impress this girl. Whenever someone manages to break through though, they generally are stuck with her. Abby isn’t one to ever give up or ever back down. It’s not that she doesn’t like the word “no”; she just hates to lose or be proven wrong.
This travels over as well to the fact that she’s quite impulsive. Often talking before considering her words, Abby’s mouth has gotten her in trouble again and again. Amazingly though she simply doesn’t learn and keeps at it. Abby’s an independent girl and only stays with people because she is either made to, or feels protective of them. A great example of this is with her younger sister. Abby wouldn’t allow Sariya to leave Igen Weyr without her. Of course that was also partially due to Abby’s own desires; however the older girl wouldn’t dare say that out loud.
On top of being impulsive, reckless, protective, and loyal, Abby also is quite rowdy and competitive. Challenge is this girl’s favorite word. Anything to make like interesting is worth her while, and whether it be racing on runnerbeasts, gambling a bit, or seeing how many chores she can accomplish in a day, Abby can’t resist finding out. Telling her that she is incapable of something makes her try harder, and if someone keeps it up, she may just get into a fight…or two, and words are not her weapon of choice.
When it comes to flirting though, Abby isn’t the brightest wherry in the flock. She could go through a room of people that are interested, without noticing a single glance at her. If someone is subtle, it is even worse. Subtlety is Sariya’s strong suit not Abby’s, and the girl knows. When she does crank up the charm though, it’s usually like being hit by a tree branch. Fast, very obvious, and you’re proabably left thinking what just happened? Or at least this has been Abby’s past experiences with boys, her preferred target. Unlike Sariya, Abby doesn’t believe herself to be bisexual, however the older girl does wonder at times.

History
To start with Abetzi and Sariya’s history, one has to back track all the way to their grandmother. Born to a family of traders specializing in breeding and raising runnerbeasts, Carol was a Pernese equivalent of a cowgirl. The girl grew up knowing that life was thrown at you fast and hard, and the only people worth living for, were the ones who had your back. This same philosophy was in turn handed down through her sons to her granddaughters. However, always the rebellious child, Carol decided to leave for Igen Weyr. There she stood and impressed green Carosk.
By the age of 20, Carol earned her place in Igen, and had given birth to twins. Naming them Kiram and Laram, later known as L’ram, the handler only wished that they would be raised in her trader family. If they still wanted to come to the weyr life, they could, but at least they’d grow up knowing the outside world as well. Abetzi and Sariya’s father decided to stay with the traders and merged the family with that of Dyani's. The girls’ mother came from a group of traders that specialized in weaving and creating jewelry. Together they continued both crafts in their combined family. Laram on the other hand, went to live with his mother in Igen Weyr. It wasn’t long though before he impressed black Rinath, and earned his own place among the Weyr’s riders.
Now finally we come to the two girls. First with Abetzi, and then four years later, Sariya. The two were peas in a pod. Abetzi, the fierce protector and Sariya, the gentle heart, they were a perfect balance to one another. Thick as thieves, no one would ever see one sister without her best friend, and though they fell in love with different trades their parents offered, they always supported each other.
For Abetzi, it was the love of runner beasts. The older of the two sisters had learned to ride almost before she could walk. Also one to be a bit haughty, she’d often challenge other riders to races. With Sariya however, the quieter and gentler girl took up her mother’s crafts. She easily learned how to do simple weaves and maker her own jewelry. Since the age of 8, she and her sister have only worn clothes made from either their mother or herself. As well as those trades, both girls learned very simple healing skills.
At the age of 8 and 12, Grandmother Carol and Uncle L’ram came to visit the family. As a parting gift, they gave the two girls firelizard eggs from a clutch laid at Igen Weyr. They hatched soon after into black Dusk who impressed to Abetzi, and green Wyred who impressed to Sariya. With the flits, the girls were able to keep in touch with their grandmother and uncle.
When they reached 13 and 17, the two girls asked to spend a year or two in Weyr life. Agreeing, their parents sent Abetzi and Sariya to live with Carol and L’ram. It was the first time the girls found themselves truly drifting apart. On the one hand, Abetzi fell in love with Carosk and the other whers in the Weyr. Staying closer to her grandmother, she helped all she could with the handlers. Sariya however, fell for the dragons. The younger sister became her uncle’s shadow. Though both loved the creatures, neither actually ever considered standing for them. Sariya and Abetzi simply didn’t think they’d ever be lucky enough. However at 14, their uncle convinced Sariya to try for one of the clutches at Igen. His dragon, along with a few others at the Weyr, being the one who deemed her worthy of standing, dropped her off at the hatching, but she didn't impress.
At 15 and 19 Sariya still hadn't impressed and Abby was just starting to consider standing herself. It was now that word circulated around about Trelis Weyr’s gold flying soon, and that a wher hatching had just passed. Firmly stating that one sister would never leave the other, the family consented to sending both Abetzi and Sariya to the island. Of course the two brought Dusk and Wyred along as well, and the little group now looks forward to their new home. Even if it means being separated, the chance to work with their own bonded is simply to enticing to the two sisters. Now, Sariya waits for Maelath to fly, and Abetzi relaxes while Trelis' Gold wher decides to run again.

Age 4 turns
Type Firelizard
Rank Blue
Size 12 inches
Color Codes
Body- 003500
Markings- 00001E
Personality/Appearance
Dusk is a very shy and innocent blue. He hates to get into any trouble and often tries to be “the voice of reason” when Sariya isn’t around. In reality, the two girls have no idea why Dusk, who is like Sariya, impressed to the older sister. However, the gentle and composed blue loves His. The one bad thing about him is that because he is shy, he often has trouble trusting people. Instead he generally hides away, in Abby’s shirt no less.
Dusk is a smaller blue than more, and has more of a dusky bluish gray. His hide is entirely uniform except for a darker head and tail that are a midnight blue. This often reminds Abby of a mask, especially since the darker head covers everything but a dusky bluish gray around Dusk's eyes. Being very thin and whip-like, the blue is quick and slippery. His wings are built for speed and acrobatics more than stamina as well.

Wher Preference
Something that is either Vain, Head-strong, or silly. She could do well with anything really though. I'd say a female though like a Green...or some other female color that appears. Male would be okay, but less prefered.. As for mauling, have fun just no loss of limbs/eyes etc.
