Natayura, Wher Candidate

[Lark]

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep
Dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Every time she closed her eyes

Name Natayura *Yura*
Pronunciation Nata*like Nada but with a t*-you-ruh

Age 16 turns
Season Born in Winter

Gender Female
Sexuality Bisexual *in denial though*

Appearance
At about 5 foot 8 inches, Natayura is slightly taller than the average woman, but not by all that much. She enjoys the way she looks though, often remarking that she’s not too short, but still small enough to never worry about her guy being shorter than she is. Her body is curvy, and a classic hourglass shape as well. As far as skin goes, she has very few marks, and a naturally golden brown tan. Her hair, dark and almost black in certain lighting, falls down to the middle of her back in easy waves, and the thick mass often gets in her way. Thus, Natayura will many times have it pulled back in some sort of bun or braid.

In terms of her face, Natayura has an ovular shaped structure, with high cheekbones and an angled jaw. Her eyes, which are a klah brown color, are hidden behind thick lashes and arching eyebrows. Her nose similarly, is proud and straight, without loosing too much of a feminine touch. Or, at least that’s how Natayura sees herself. She often wears tunics with thinner pants beneath them, or actual riding pants with peasant tops. To her, color doesn’t matter, but she does prefer red to anything else. It seems to pop on her skin tone, and add that saucy flavor she so loves.


Personality
If there ever was a Queen seeker in Natayura’s family, it would be her. She was so certain that she was going to get a Queen, that a Queen would magically hatch just for her. Of course, she ended up not being chosen by a dragon to stand at all, but that’s just a small flaw in her plans. Natayura wants to think big you see. She wants to think big, because she thinks that’s what she deserves. In Natayura’s mind, she deserves the best, the most beautiful, the most wanted of anything. If anyone gets in her way in the mean time, they’ll get pushed over. Natayura is by no means a delicate flower, and she hates even to be seen as such.

The only two times Natayura will actually not think of herself before someone else, is with her siblings and her firelizard. They mean the world to her, and she’d do anything to make them happy. If that means pay attention to them for five seconds, then so be it. Natayura always expects to be paid back though, and will hound anyone that owes her a favor. She never forgets, or at least that’s what she says, and to this day still goes by this rule. In teams, Natayura can be a handful. She’s flirty, often whiny, and hates it when someone tries to act pitiful. It’s a strange mix, but it basically comes down to no one can take the spotlight off of her. Even if it’s through complaining about how bad their arm injury hurts, she’ll still snap at them and think of some way to be the center of attention again.

By now, you’re probably thinking, wow this girl is a jerk. To be honest, Natayura is. However, she does have one feature that helps to make up for her bad behavior and flaws. Whenever she owes a dept, she fulfills it to its fullest. She’s dedicated to whatever task she’s put to, and she has a devious mind for strategy and planning. This makes her great in group that needs her input, not that that happens all too much though. So, Natayura often has to take a cue from others to keep her mouth shut…if she even happens to feel like listening to them in that instance.

Location From Sollace Hold, to Trelis Weyr, to Trelis' Wher hold
Rank Wher Candidate, Apprentice Fisher

History
Yura grew up in Sollace hold the only daughter, and the second oldest, of two fishermen. In fact, her whole family for generations had been fishermen. The girl had other plans for herself though. From a young age she wanted something more, something different. Whenever the dragons would come flying passed their ship, she would pray that she would be one of them one day. However, every time one came to search, she was always turned down no matter how many times she tried.

When Sahelli died, she begged her parents to move to the Weyr to help. "It would be good to have people there, so many are leaving." However, the fishermen could see no profit to moving to the Weyr, so they stayed. Again when the new colors appeared, the girl begged her parents to go to the Weyr. Surely this would help her get a dragon of her own! Again they said no. When the Istans came, they definitely would not listen to Yura's pleas either.

Finally, at age 17, she decided to go to Trelis herself to confront the Weyrwoman. It took a while to get to Inali, seeing as the storm had ruined her home only a few days after she had arrived. Her parents were safe at least, but she refused to go back with them when the refugees finally started to retreat back to the hold. Instead, she stood confidently in front of Inali and told the goldrider she would stand for Loraketh's next clutch. Amused, the Queen told her to try something else. She was not meant for a dragon.

Angered, Natayura went out and did what any teenage girl would do. She partied, she got drunk, she slept with someone...a handler. In the morning, she had a new plan *and a very bad hangover*. She would volunteer for the whers. Surely one would give her an egg!

Name Kip
Pronunciation as it looks
Age 0 turns, Born in Winter
Type Flit
Rank Brown
Size 30 inches
Color Codes DEB887, CD6600, and B13E0F


Personality/Appearance
Curious is the best way to describe Kip. Like most Brown’s he is sweet, and even polite. However, he has to know everything and anything. It doesn't help matters either that he has synesthesia. The disorder makes it so that he mixes sights with tastes, or sounds with sensations. It often has him unsettled and somewhat hyper because of it. After all, for instance if he were to see something red, he might taste blood or spices.

A light, silky brown color; Kip has flecks of darker golden brown and copper all along his body. These mainly concentrate at his extremities being his tail, paws, head, and wing-tips. In these areas, he is basically one dark coppery brown color. His body is in normal proportions for a larger Brown though, and he has broad wings like a hawk. They give him great stamina in flight, however he is just as capable at being acrobatic as well.


Wher Preference I'd prefer a male wher, or a female that acts nothing like a Queen *or maybe thinks she's a Queen as a flip of that* since she's so set on impressing one xD Have fun mauling too.

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on
It gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear, a waterfall
In the night, the stormy night
She closed her eyes
In the night, the stormy night
Away she'd fly.
