That leads beyond this hold...

Appearance:

Standing at five feet four inches, it isn't height that makes Ariya memorable. What makes her memorable is the way she carries herself and her personality. The fifteen year old carries herself with a sense of pride that is striking. Shoulder length black hair frames a slender, heart shaped face with soft lips and a stubborn chin. Her eyes are a deep chocolate brown that are often happy and warm. She has naturally tan skin that darkens to a nice bronze in the summer. She normally wears her hair in a runners tail. Being only five feet four she is short and slender of build. Her limbs are in proportion to her body and all slim. She prefers to wear comfortable clothing over stylish. One will never see her in a skirt or dress unless forced to wear it. She hates them with a passion. She has no scars or tattoos to speak of.

That wends its way around the hill...

Personality:

Ariya is a tomboy. Make no mistake, this weyrbrat doesn't mind getting her hands dirty. She can keep up with the best of the boys in their rough and tumble games, be it chase or wrestling. At the same time, though, she knows when it is time to play and when it is time to work. She is a hardworking individual who gets things done. She can be a spitfire when she's angry, but it takes a lot to get her riled up. That being said, she tends to bottle her emotions until she can't hold them in. Her temper, when it flares, is explosive. She has a good rein on it, though. Ariya is also very motherly, despite her tomboy attitude. She can't stand to see someone hurting and will try her best to help them be it by getting them patched up or getting an adult to mediate the situation if it is clearly a matter for an adult to settle. She also can't stand bullies and will always jump to the defense of someone being shoved around and telling the bully (or bullies) off. She is also loyal, not liking to leave friends out in the cold, and a bit naïve since she almost always believes the best of everyone. She can take control of a situation if she has to and there is no other alternative but prefers to let others have control for fear of being ridiculed.

Does it go farther on until...

History:

An only child who was born to a traveling trader and his harper wife, Ariya was far from spoiled. She learned the importance and value of hard work and determination at an early age. She also grew up a rather independent and rowdy child, not liking to listen to authority, and was almost always involved in some prank or form of trouble with the small group of friends she had. She has, however, calmed down over the last few turns as she has matured and learned the ways of a traveling trader. She had a fairly normal childhood for a child in a traveling trader caravan.

She got Circa the day after her eighth birthday after finding the green's egg in a destroyed firelizard nest that she found when exploring the beach when her family's caravan happened to stop nearby. Circa's egg was the only survivor. The egg hatched later that evening, and Ariya dubbed the green Circa after impressing her. The green has been Ariya's best friend and constant companion, being there whenever she needed a friend and her other friends weren't around.

Following in her mother's footsteps and because her family was low on money, she apprenticed to be a Harper at the age of twelve when her family stopped at Delant Hold for supplies, and quickly discovered not only a love for the craft but a real talent for it. She poured herself into her lessons, studying constantly and practicing every chance she got. She made friends though some didn't understand her love for her craft. Her teachers appreciated her dedication. She had her stumbling blocks of course but has progressed very well, becoming strongest with the harp and pipes.

She walked the tables and reached senior apprenticeship a few days after her fifteenth birthday and shortly after that she was singled out by a green dragon as being likely to impress. The green's rider asked if she would come and stand at the clutch on Bivium's sands. She agreed so she was moved to Bivium to be a candidate. Her parents followed in the hopes of seeing her impress. She has continued practicing the arts of a Harper and started her stint as a candidate. She hopes to impress but isn't worried about having to wait. Got purple Firelizard from Syreaka's green lizard's clutch and named him Lilac Storm. Impressed Blue Inysalth at the First hatching. Her family left the weyr shortly after and basically disowned her. They had expected her to either not impress or to get a green not a blue. They thought it meant she was gay but she is not. Is currently in weyrling lessons.

It ends in sunset gold?

Pets:
Pet Name: Circa
Pet Age 7 turns
Pet Appearance: A dark green firelizard, Circa is average for her rank, if longer than most greens. As far as color is concerned, Circa is a pretty forest green that fades to mint green on her extremities, creating light green socks and mittens on her paws. She is average of build and weight but her wings, like her tail, are large for a green.
Pet Personality:
Sweet, chatty, scatterbrained and a cuddler, Circa likes nothing better then to spend every waking moment with her bonded. She is a very social flitter and likes being around people and other flitters, but not so much canines or felines. She is very easily distracted by shiny things and likes to steal said shiny things for a while (a day or two) before Ariya finds her stash and makes her give the stolen treasures back after making the green give up who she stole the shiny things from.

Pet Age >1

Inysalth

Color: Blue (002441-0085ac)
Impressed to: Ariya
Appearance: Gawky and awkward, as most infants are, Inysalth is liable to trip over his own oversized paws or get his long, slender tail tangled in his legs when he tries to walk. If those paws are any indication, however, the hatchling will be a remarkably large blue when he reaches full growth, and that, coupled with his barrel-chested build, will lend him considerable stamina for a dragon of his rank. He is long-necked, with remarkably large, expressive eyes, and his wings are broad and full. A vibrant aqua blue colours his hide, darker at his extremities and paler near his greatest bulk, giving him a faintly luminous appearance. Along the backs of his wings, flecks of the paler, richer blue dot the darker, the colours brushing closely together and creating a distinctive dappled pattern, like the white-caps on a choppy lake at night.

Personality: diligent, active, doting, reliable
Sometimes, there are things that someone simply cannot do. It hurts, but that is, unfortunately, just how it is. Someone seems to have neglected to bring that particular fact to Inysalth's attention, however. Hatchling or not, this little dragon is ready and willing, but not quite able, to take on the whole world. It isn't that he wants to fight anyone, mind. He simply doesn't understand that sometimes, it really is necessary just to give up, and is liable to push himself a lot harder than he ought to to see things done as he desires.

Part of this likely stems from the fact that Inysalth doesn't seem to know how to be lazy. Point in fact, he is prone to restlessness if made to stay idle for too long. When there is nothing that needs to be done, he finds things he wishes to do, and when those fail him, he makes things up. He simply seems incapable of doing nothing.

Among his favourite activities is doting over those he cares for, those young enough for him to boss around, or any other hapless victim who indulges his careful nature. Inysalth seems to possess a sensitivity remarkable even for a blue, giving him the makings of an exceptional search-dragon, and, further, is very genuinely concerned about the overall welfare of others, giving him a very paternal nature, despite the general unlikelihood that he will ever actually be a parent.

A trait more commonly found in browns, Inysalth has the makings of one of the most stoic, reliable, and trustworthy dragons in the Weyr. For all that blues are often distractable, most especially in their youth, it can only be said of Inysalth that he can be counted upon, absolutely, under any circumstances. It would likely do him some good to temper that with good sense and caution, but for the moment, his stoicism and reliability are without peer - or concern for his own welfare.
