Appearance:
As far as women go, Yuli is short. Shorter than short in fact, as she sits at roughly four and a half feet. Despite being in her thirties, her height often causes others to mistake her for a teenage girl, something she abhors. Her hair is a sandy brown colour, and she generally keeps it on the shorter side. It is, however, long enough to be pulled back in a stumpy pony tail when she works. Her eyes are the opposite of her hair, portraying a dark, tree bark brown colour. Or at least one does, the other is a milky grey-brown, which signifies her partial blindness. Injured during wherling training, Yuli has been left with ugly, rigid scars that cover the left side of her face and reach over her shoulder. Though the wounds were not too severe, the marks will last forever. The scars also cross her semi-blind eye.
Yuli often carries a walking stick of sorts, though not because she is weak. The stick, for her, serves multiple functions. The first is compensation for her weak eye, making her more able to function in the darkness of night. The other function it serves is as a training tool for her wher. It is very rare to see her without the stick, even in the brightness of the day. She isn't extraordinarily fond of work clothes and only wears them when she's on duty. The rest of the time she tends to wear looser, more colourful clothing.
Personality:
Once a happy go lucky young girl, her experiences through life have made her... not bitter, but strict and sometimes cold, especially when it comes to relationships. Having had multiple relationships in the past, both serious and relaxed, that failed miserably, she s not the most trusting of others and usually tends to try to escape situation when someone flirts with her. While she is fond of young children, she has a deep set dislike of teenagers, especially ones just entering the age range for candidacy. She hates the way they view hatchings, expecting to impress and even being picky about the colour they want. She also hates their wants and dreams of glory, considering such thoughts to stem from their inexperienced and foolish minds, and she revels the opportunity to reprimand such thought processes. Often times, do to her history of being strict and her rather unapproachable look (caused by the way her scarring pulls her lips into a deep frown most of the time) but beneath that intimidating exterior is a warm young woman simply looking for someone that she can truly place faith in. It may just take a while to see that part of her past the dignified and reserved exterior.
Yuli is, in a way, an intellectual. She believes that being prepared with the knowledge needed is a necessary part of life, and hates seeing anyone around her shirking their duties for fun and games. Along with her intelligence, Yuli has a fairly good memory and is able to usually remember names and information about others, though sometimes she has a hard time with faces. She loves teaching, and often likes to watch candidate and wherling lessons from a distance when she has free time. A little creepy perhaps, but it s her hobby and she loves it. She also loves her family, even if it isn t the strongest family ever. Her only child will always be held close to her heart. She does everything in her power to spend time with him when possible, though it s getting harder now he is drawing close to candidacy. She can also be a worry wart about her loved ones.
Yuli is, sadly, a heavy traditionalist when it comes to sexuality. That s not to say she s a horrible person when it comes to such topics. As she sees it, you can have any relationship you want as long as it doesn t involve her in any way. She does not take well to women making advances on her, and avoids finding a female wher s handler unless she is positive the handler is a man.
History:
Yayulia was born to two journeymen glasssmiths at Apollo hold. Her parents were often busy, but she had a very normal childhood with all the love and affection she could need. From an early age, she showed an interest in dragons, but her parents tried to teach her how important it was to have a craft to go into, since not everyone impressed. So, even as a young child, she threw her all into the local Harper s lessons and discovered quickly that she liked the idea of teaching. Eventually, she began assisting the Harper by tutoring some of her classmates. The Harper commented on her skill and suggested the harpercraft to her. When she finally hit twelve, she was sent off the HarperCrafthall, in the Northern Continent, since she wanted to learn from the best of the best. However, she only remained an apprentice for a Turn, learning quickly that, while she was a skilled teacher, she lacked skill in every other aspect of Harpering. So instead, she began transferring around to various Crafthalls and Holds, trying to find a place for herself. Eventually, near her eighteenth Turnday, she ended up in Nerat, biding her time as a cook in the caverns.
A little over a Turn later, she heard rumors of a new Minor Hold being set up on the Southern Continent and, along with many others, volunteered to go help with the process. During the building process, a relationship sprouted between Yuli and Ranelv, an older man who had also volunteered. They quickly became an item and she felt she loved him and foolishly believed they would be together forever. However, as the Hold neared completion, she found herself being ignored more and more by the man, he was always saying he was busy working on things for the Hold. Worried, but completely trusting, she believed him and made sure to give him his space. Shortly thereafter she was searched for a clutch at Southern Weyr. She accepted it, since she only had a turn left before she was too old to stand anymore. During that turn, she failed three separate hatchings and, sad, she returned to the minor Hold to pick up her life again. When she got there, however, nothing was the same. The Hold had been properly finished, her friends had gone back to their respective home Holds, and the man she loved had found himself another woman while she was gone. Heartbroken, she drowned her sorrows in her cooking for turn after turn.
It was during her twenty-sixth year that her life finally made a small change. Meeting a friendly greenrider named W frin at Southern s annual gather, the two became rather close over the course of the event, though Yuli was afraid to truly open up to another man. However, when she learned he was a Trelis rider, she begged and pleaded him to take her back to Trelis with him. Though he was a bit nervous about it, her story touched him and he agreed. However, she remained at Trelis instead of going to Apollo, too afraid to see her parents, but a turn at the Weyr was too much for her. Finally, she confided her worries and doubts in W frin, admitting the dragons reminded her of her failures in life. W frin was a clever man though, and suggested she try standing for a wher clutch. Liking the idea, she did as he suggested, throwing her all into candidacy in the hopes of getting lucky. But she failed again, and again.
Broken and feeling worthless, she holed herself up in her room for weeks. One day, Wfrin, in Flight stupor, accidentally took advantage of her and made her pregnant, which only added more sorrow to her mind. The child was born, and brought her some joy, but she was still upset. In the hopes of helping her escape her depression, and to make things right between them, W frin purchased a fire lizard egg when the opportunity arose and gave it to her in the hopes it would bond to her and show her that she was able to bond. It was a successful idea! When blue Trif, named after W frin s green dragon Entrifith, hatched and impressed too her, she was ecstatic and was able to pull out of her dark mood.
She stood again for the next clutch, proud and determined not to let herself, or W frin down, and was shocked to see a brown wher actually look in her direction, and the feeling of a mind pressing against hers, of the strange voice, confused her at first. Yayusk s? Food for Yayusk? From that point on she was never alone again. Wherling training was, for the most part, a breeze. Yayusk s intelligence coupled with Yuli s love of teaching made for a pair that learned rather quickly, though it did take repetition on the brown s side to have lessons stick. However, not all was sun and games for the pair. An argument between Yayusk and another wher broke into an all-out fight, and Yuli, worried about anything happening to her brown, made the foolish mistake of getting in the middle of it. The wounds she received were shallow, but severe, leaving her with scars all down the side of her face and neck. Yayusk was worried, but His made a slow, but healthy recovery and the two managed to graduate (though it was months after the rest of their classmates.
The pair spent the following years as a working member of the Earthquake pack. Yuli is, for the first time in a long time, truly happy with her life though deep down, the dream of teaching still calls to her and she can find herself looking longingly at the candidate and wherling classes from time to time, dreaming of one day teaching the future generation of handlers.

IC History:
- I1 T197 (Fall/Winter) - Yuli becomes a Wherlingmaster and meets her first class
Yayusk
Pronunciation: Yah-you-sk
Rank: Brown
Age: 5
Size: 5.9 Feet
Color Codes:
Body: 8F7958
Markings: 8F6550
Clutch
Name/Egg: N/A
Dam: N/A
Sire: N/A
Date: Autumn, I1 T193
Appearance:
Yayusk is on the larger side for browns, though he is by no means the largest in existence. He has a strange look to him, with his proportions looking just off enough to be strange. His face is abnormally boxy and squished looking, as if he ran into a wall as a hatchling. His wings too are oddly shaped; being both incredibly small and thin compared to the rest of his body. His tiny wings help make his body look bulkier than it actually is, since Yayusk is a slimmer wher. His build has an almost sleek look to it, making him look weaker than he actually is. His build allows him to have quick bursts of incredible speeds that can, at times, rival blues, however, he can only ever do these bursts once or twice in a night, as they are incredibly draining on his stamina. When he runs at a slower pace, however, his stamina is rather average for a brown.
Yayusk might remind one of tree bark, his hide is soft brown, with the tiniest hints of lighter and darker tints throughout. His wing membranes are a reddish brown, as are the rest of his markings. He has a loop of red-brown on his head, crossing over both eyes and under his chin, as well as a loop around his middle and two more on the fattest part of his tail.
Personality:
All in all, Yayusk is a pretty well behaved wher, sharing his colours stereotypical calmness and intelligence. He learns things quickly, though that s partially because of Yuli s teaching ability. When not working or learning, Yayusk can be awfully chatty, tending to inform His of everything and anything he finds interesting. He also loves socializing, and would gladly do that over working, but a few quick reprimands from Yuli will almost always put him back on track. Oddly enough, he is almost like a wild wher when it comes to actually speaking , tending to add chirps, whistles, and a variety of grunts and sounds to explain himself. Yuli has used this to the fullest advantage and has taught him to use certain words for certain situations. He does have his lazy streaks sometimes, namely just after waking, when he tends to complain about having to leave his oh-so-comfy couch.
Mind-voice
Yayusk's! Look there. Yayusk see moving.
Yayusk s voice is very pitchy, sounding low for one note and high for the next, making one feel almost like his voice is a rollercoaster. The changes aren t so severe that its annoying to listen to, in fact, it s almost interesting to listen to, the different pitches in his voice offering hints of intelligence and enthusiasm. He often adds punctuation and inflictions to his speech with the use of cheeps, chirps, clicks and noises that he has been trained to use.

Markings: 7BAD9F
Clutch
Name/Egg: N/A
Dam: N/A
Sire: N/A
Date: Summer, I1 T193
Personality/Appearance:
Trif is a lazy little lizard, not at all like his namesake. For him, the best way to spend a day is sleeping on someone, or something s head and can often be found among the more flit-friendly dragons or, even more often, on the backs of the local herdbeasts. Though it s a dangerous place, he s so far managed to avoid getting eaten by dragons. When awake, he is incredibly cuddly, usually finding His, or someone else, to hold and pet him.
Due to his lazy nature, he is a bit chubby, some might even call him fat, and with his naturally stubby little legs it s no surprise that he looks so roly poly! His hide is a pale, chalky-blue colour, with teal-grey spots on his hindquarters and solid-coloured inner wingfingers. He also has three tiny dots under each eye.
