21 Turns

Heterosexual
Rank:
Junior Weyrwoman
Wing:
Dark-Sun Wing
Family:
All Deceased
Personality:
Akira is really persistent, and has a hard time not fighting for what she believes. She can be affectionate, but tries not to show it publicly. She tries not to take too many risks, but if she believes they are necessary ones, she will do whatever it is she can. She is a very stubborn person, and doesn't like other's trying to change who she is. She is intelligent, but doesn't like to brag about what she knows. She's always been that way, at least, for as long as she can remember. Akira is a very loyal friend, and would never leave her friends behind. She's a great listener, and is actually really patient.
Akira is really a sweet, and loving individual. She is a natural born leader, and is really calm and level-headed no matter what the situation she's put in. Akira is pretty strange. She doesn't like to talk much, and has a tendency to ignore people she doesn't respect. Yet once you get to know her, the hard, outer shell falls away, and she will be one of the best friends you've ever had. She has a hard time opening up to people, but she could often be found alone somewhere talking to any non-human creature. Akira has never found it easy to make friends, because she's never really known what to say.
When it comes to other humans, she doesn't really talk, but get her alone with a dragon or a firelizard for instance, and she'll tell a story an hour long. She's always been that way, at least, for as long as she can remember. Though, once a person does get to know her, she'll be very loyal, and be a great companion. Akira is a great listener, and loves to hear elders tell stories of years past. Though, that's something she wouldn't admit even to a firelizard. Even though she has problems socializing, Akira is really a sweet, and loving individual. She just needs someone she can trust to bring the fun-loving, energetic side of her out to the open.
She has one secret that she would die trying to keep, and would deny vehemently if anyone found out. Akira loves to sing, but refuses to let anyone but her closest friends hear her. Singing makes her feel happy whenever she is sad, and it helps her feel a little less like an outcast. Ever since she was a child Akira has loved to sing, and has spent many hours alone, hidden somewhere just singing to herself about anything and everything. She will sometimes sing herself to sleep on nights that she has trouble falling asleep.
Appearance:
Akira has short, dark brown hair that she usually keeps held back with berets. She is 5'7" and has light tan skin. She might not look it, but Akira has muscles, and can hold her own. She has a tattoo of a flower with a dragon twined around it on her right shoulder. The flower is a tulip, the dragon has it's mouth open, as if it's breathing fire. She got the tattoo in memory of her mother and father. Akira has strong, long legs that can propel her pretty far, pretty fast if she ever tried. She has light brown eyes that almost always have a far off look to them. Yet, even when she has that far off look in her eyes, they seem to have a twinkle to them.
Like they're trying to open up, and show what she's really like inside. She is usually found wearing a black, long sleeve shirt, but she will occasionally wear a black sleeveless shirt. No matter what the occasion, she always wears riding pants. To most they wouldn't be the most comfortable to wear all the time, but Akira likes them. From what she can remember, she has never, and will never, wear a dress for any reason unless she is forced. Akira has a diagonal scar over her right eye that looks pretty nasty, but in all actually it is just superficial.
History:
Akira's parents were Harper's, and they lived happily together. She remembered that her parents would often leave to entertain the riders at Rebirth Weyr. Her mother had quit when Akira was born so that she could stay home, and take care of her. Yet, even way back then, she hated social events, which meant she stayed home most of the time, but the times she did go, she went to see the dragons. She had often dreamed of impressing a hatchling dragon. She remembered hearing her parents talk about the stories they knew. She loved the ones they would tell her about the dragon riders of turns past. She remembered lying in bed, dreaming about being a dragon rider, and fighting thread whenever it fell.
As Akira grew older, her love of dragons grew stronger. She would sit outside, and watched as the queen dragon would fly, and the other's would follow her lead, and they would play around in the sky. She always thought it was a beautiful site to witness, but when the dragons flew too high for her to see she would start imagining what it would be like to be a dragon flying so high up in the sky. She remembered how her parents would always wish she would become a Harper, but they knew that no matter what they did, she would find a way to become a rider because she couldn't stand singing in front of others because of her stage fright.
So they started taking her to the Weyr to see how they did things. Those were some of the best years of her life. One day her parents had brought home a few firelizard eggs that they had bought from someone in Rebirth. Apparently the eggs had been close to hatching because the day after her parents had brought them home, they hatched. The first one that hatched was a little blue flit, and since Akira and her mother had already been in the kitchen making supper Akira got to feed the little flit, and impress it. Her mother had impressed the little green that hatched next, and her dad got the little brown.
Things started going wrong after Akira turned fifteen. Her father, and mother for the first time in a long time, was on their way to another party when things went horribly wrong. Her parents had arrived at the party when a runnerbeast had gotten spooked, and broke free from it's owner. Akira's parents were actually right in the way of the scared beast, and was run over, and killed. Akira didn't find out about it till a messenger came to her home, and told her what had happened a week earlier, no one she asked could tell her what had happened to her father's firelizard.
The person that had come to tell Akira about what had happened to her parents was actually a dragon rider from Tukra. He was the one to bring her to the Weyr. That was where she spent the next turn as a candidate. She had stood for a clutch that turn, but every hatchling ignored her, leaving her as a candidate until the next clutch came around. Akira had to wait a full turn until she had another chance to stand for a clutch. This clutch held a queen egg, but Akira was almost certain that the hatchling from that egg wouldn't be hers. Instead she had her sites on one of the smaller eggs, one that might hold an green in fact.
That wasn't to be her dragon though. The first egg that hatched, held a bronze, a good sign. She smiled and watched as the hatchling king found his rider, and left the sands. Her attention was torn from the new weyrling pair when she heard gasps coming from the other candidates around her. When she looked back, she saw the most beautiful dragon she had ever seen, it was a gold, the queen egg had hatched, and was now gazing over at the candidates. It didn't look like the dark queen had picked a candidate yet, so Akira turned her attention back to the rest of the eggs. She waited to see if the egg that had been her second favorite, right after the queen egg, would be hers.
Akira Mine, come, you must feed your Narolieth. The clear, silver-bell of a voice rang through Akria's mind, and drew here eyes to gaze at the gold hatchling. The dragonet's eyes were a rainbow of colors, and she was staring straight at Akira. Akira's eyes widened, and she looked around her, and wondered if the gold dragoness was actually looking at someone else, but when she turned her attention back to the hatchling, it was sitting in front of her, patiently waiting for her to lead her from the sands, and fill her hungry stomach.
Akira was in shock, and numbly led the large hatchling off the hot sands, and fed her without really knowing what she was doing. It wasn't until the weyrling master congratulated her, and took her over to the weyrwoman that she finally came out of her numbing shock. She was so excited that she had impressed the dragon that had come from her favorite egg. Akira felt like her weyrling years practically flew by, and she was soon graduating, and joining a wing of their own.
The previous Weyrwoman had retired right after Akira and Narolieth graduated from their training. That's when Akira and her golden dragon Narolieth became Weyrwoman and Weyrqueen. since there were no other golds at the time, the position naturally fell to them. It's been a very hard experiance, but the two of them have done everything they can, and have followed their training as best as they could, but they are still young, and are still learning.
Pet
Name:
Blue
Gender:
Male
Age:
8 Turns
Type:
Firelizard
Size:
20 Inches Long
Color Codes:
Body: 0000FF
Underside: 00008B
Markings: 00FFFF
Personality:
Blue loves to have a good time, but that often gets him in trouble. He usually has a pretty good attitude, but he can be extremely evil when he's upset, or feels like he has been wronged. It isn't hard to make this little flit happy, and it's just as easy to upset him as well. He loves to just hold on to Akira's neck, and sleep on her shoulder as she does her chores, or whatever it is that she is doing at that moment. I wouldn't describe him as completely lazy, but he has a hard time waking up in the morning.
Blue has a mischievous streak. There are times when he will fly off, leaving Akira on her own, and return hours later with something that he has stolen from someone, and it is usually something shiny. That's why Akira tries to keep the little blue flit on a leash, but after a couple of tries he usually figures out how to wiggle himself free, and is off on another one of his raids, which causes no end of trouble for Akira. Blue is just trying to show Akira how much he loves her with these stolen gifts, and no matter how much he is scolded for being a thief, he still continues to do it.
Appearance:
Blue's hide is a pretty typical blue in color that slowly fades to a dark blue the closer to his underside you get. He has very bright blue rings around his eyes, and the base of his wings. His tail has little polka-dots of the same bright blue that ring Blue's eyes. All four of Blue's paws are the same dark blue as his underside. All and all Blue looks like a pretty typical blue firelizard. He has a whip-like tail that is usually wrapped around Akira's neck. His little blue wings are always kept close to his body, but can be opened at a moments notice.
Dragon
Name:
Narolieth {Lieth}
Gender:
Female
Age:
4 Turns
Type:
Dragon
Size:
55ft.
Color:
Gold
Color Codes:
Body: FFD700
Wings: EEDD82
Underside: B8860B
Personality:
Narolieth is a typical Gold in the fact that she has a pretty bad temper at times. Yet she seems to have calmed down a lot since the day she had hatched. She has problems with people disrespecting her, which usually sets off her temper. She demands respect from everyone, but is very lenient with Akira. Narolieth is extremely protective, especially of her Weyr, and will not tolerate anyone threatening it, or the people, and creatures inside. Narolieth has a very big soft spot for dragonets, and young children. When a young child asks her to do something, or asks her for something, she normally gives in. She craves attention, and tries to get it anyway possible, which often gets her in trouble with Akira. Even though she can have a bad temper, she is actually very level-headed in stressful situations.
Appearance:
Narolieth is a very, VERY, large dragon. Yet her size doesn't hinder her in the least. Her wing muscles are extremely strong, and while it does take a bit of energy to get this large dragon off the ground once she's in the sky you wouldn't think she's as large as she is. With all that muscle Naorlieth actually looks really delicate, and feminine. Her leathery wings are kept close to her body when she is on the ground, and her whip-like tail is always slowly moving back and forth behind the large queen. Her large claws are kept sharp and shining, yet they are trimmed enough so that they do not mess with the way that she walks. Narolieth is a typical gold in color that actually fades to dark goldenrod as you get closer to her underside. Her large wings are a light goldenrod in color, and they contrast nicely with her golden body. She takes great pride in the way her hide looks, which means that she keeps it clean, and shining.
Mind Voice:
I am Narolieth, this is Akira Mine.
The sweet clarity of nectar, and the brilliant ding of a silver bell, Narolieth's mindvoice is an awakening sensation. Before you hear it, you are in the dark and the fog, but once it enters your mind, all of that falls away in the breath of the sun and glory of the day. Narolieth has the ability to chase away all woes and evils in the heart and mind, and delights in doing so. She is a funny one, to be sure, with her own brand of dry humor, but her words are often, if not always, truthful, and she is a kind soul. There's something sweet about Narolieth's mindvoice, but not sickeningly sweet. It's a clear sweet, one like fresh water after all you've had is salt, and it's refreshing like the sun and a light breeze after the cold of winter. It's a good voice, and one that can cut through all other dragons because of its clarity.

So they started taking her to the Weyr to see how they did things. Those were some of the best years of her life. One day her parents had brought home a few firelizard eggs that they had bought from someone in Rebirth. Apparently the eggs had been close to hatching because the day after her parents had brought them home, they hatched. The first one that hatched was a little blue flit, and since Akira and her mother had already been in the kitchen making supper Akira got to feed the little flit, and impress it. Her mother had impressed the little green that hatched next, and her dad got the little brown.
Things started going wrong after Akira turned fifteen. Her father, and mother for the first time in a long time, was on their way to another party when things went horribly wrong. Her parents had arrived at the party when a runnerbeast had gotten spooked, and broke free from it's owner. Akira's parents were actually right in the way of the scared beast, and was run over, and killed. Akira didn't find out about it till a messenger came to her home, and told her what had happened a week earlier, no one she asked could tell her what had happened to her father's firelizard.

That wasn't to be her dragon though. The first egg that hatched, held a bronze, a good sign. She smiled and watched as the hatchling king found his rider, and left the sands. Her attention was torn from the new weyrling pair when she heard gasps coming from the other candidates around her. When she looked back, she saw the most beautiful dragon she had ever seen, it was a gold, the queen egg had hatched, and was now gazing over at the candidates. It didn't look like the dark queen had picked a candidate yet, so Akira turned her attention back to the rest of the eggs. She waited to see if the egg that had been her second favorite, right after the queen egg, would be hers.
Akira Mine, come, you must feed your Narolieth. The clear, silver-bell of a voice rang through Akria's mind, and drew here eyes to gaze at the gold hatchling. The dragonet's eyes were a rainbow of colors, and she was staring straight at Akira. Akira's eyes widened, and she looked around her, and wondered if the gold dragoness was actually looking at someone else, but when she turned her attention back to the hatchling, it was sitting in front of her, patiently waiting for her to lead her from the sands, and fill her hungry stomach.
Akira was in shock, and numbly led the large hatchling off the hot sands, and fed her without really knowing what she was doing. It wasn't until the weyrling master congratulated her, and took her over to the weyrwoman that she finally came out of her numbing shock. She was so excited that she had impressed the dragon that had come from her favorite egg. Akira felt like her weyrling years practically flew by, and she was soon graduating, and joining a wing of their own.
The previous Weyrwoman had retired right after Akira and Narolieth graduated from their training. That's when Akira and her golden dragon Narolieth became Weyrwoman and Weyrqueen. since there were no other golds at the time, the position naturally fell to them. It's been a very hard experiance, but the two of them have done everything they can, and have followed their training as best as they could, but they are still young, and are still learning.

It's a good voice, and one that can cut through all other dragons because of its clarity.
Why do you think this character would be a good leader:
She is patient, and will follow orders diligently. Yet she is pretty diligent when it comes to her work, and if the Weyrwoman asks for her to do something, she puts all of her attention into what she's doing.
Why do you think you would be a good leader:
I have had a little experiance in leading, though, I'm still learning. I also think that you never really learn everything there is to lead a Weyr, especially since things are constantly changing.
How often do you think you'll be available:
Just about every day, but weekends are a little touchy. I will post letting everyone know if I will be absent for more than a day.
Please include a hatching post:
I hope it's ok, but I put it in her history.
