Silvara

Silvara
Moderator / Master Healer
Name: Silvara
Rank: Dragon Rider/Temp Weyrwoman, Master Healer, Journey-Woman Blacksmith, Master Gifted/Psionist, Eldest Queen Dragon
Craft and Rank: Healer, Master; Smith, Journeywoman; Gifts Teacher, Master
Location: Benden Weyr (Future Weyr)
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Homosexual / Asexual
Mate: None

Physical Description:
A tall lean figure she seems more whipcord muscle and bone than anything else though she does still have the telltale curves of a woman. She stands at a somewhat imposing 6 feet 6 inches. Her hair is a midnight black with an almost blue sheen to it at times. When she was younger she kept her hair short but has found that she finds it easier to manage when it’s long. Recently she has let it grow long so it reaches to about the small of her back though she keeps it tightly braided and up so it won’t get in the way or burned while working in the forge. Her eyes are a blood red tone that some find unnerving to look into for too long.

She has a long set of scares that start at the top of her right shoulder and go diagonally across her back towards her left hip from a newly hatched dragon when she impressed her own dragon (see Benden Hatching thread). She has other minor scares on her arms mostly around the fore arms from sword work and her blacksmithing. Her ears are priced though she tends to just wear little studs in them as well as a cuff like earring on her upper right ear (something of her own making).

She also has a very rich voice though she is loathed to speak much. She can sing but never will in front of others as she does not want to end up an apprentice in yet another craft hall. She does tend to speak softly with a lyrical cadence which becomes more pronounced when she is working with someone or teaching gifts as it helps to sooth those she is working with.

Personality:
Silvara on first meeting seems cool, calm, collected, and sage like. In many ways she seems far older then her physical age which is a side effect of her gifts awakening when she was 5 and all of the training she underwent to control them. She also tends to hold herself apart from other while making herself available to those who need her unique abilities. Do to this and her appearance many find her both distant and a little haunting.

Silvara is a contradiction, both anti-social while also very social in her chosen fields. She is rather silent most of the time unless she feels words are needed but as a healer she will always say what needs to be said to help those she tends. Truth be told her problem stems from being a very strong Empath. She finds most holder and even a lot of crafter folk to be to undisciplined for her to spend too great a time with easily. Whereas around dragon riders and healers she feels more at ease as they have learned some control of their feelings and mindset. She does also have an irrational fear of being the center of attention which makes being a simple blue dragon rider something of a relief. At least after the initial shock of a “Girl” getting a male dragon had passed.

She is shy about making new friends unless they are dragon riders or candidates though once she has made friends she is loyal till the end of time and will always be willing to help at least within reason. She is also somewhat stubborn about certain things like her hampering ability which she hides from everyone except her dragon, which she will sing and play for when she knows they are alone.

History:
Born to Weyrwoman Sikra and Weyrleader L’ver she was well loved alongside her cousin/brother H’lee. For the first 3 years of her life things were good. Then L’ver was killed and not long after Sikra’s Queen was flown by Sh’zon’s Bronze ending the happy little family's peace. It was not long before he had both H’lee and Silvara sent to the crèche so he could have Sikra to himself.

A bully who disliked H’lee decided to go after Silvara to use against H’lee. In fear Silv lashed out with her gifts mentally flattening the bully as well as freaking out Silv who ran off to hide. Later a drudge who was also of the unfriendly variant found her hiding and tried to drag her out but she ended up burning him. Thankfully he was only lightly burned but made a swift retreat. Silvara’s distress also caused the dragons of the weyr to act up and it’s only when Master Tikal found her that she calmed down allowing the weyr to return to a calm if on edge state. Master Tikal wass able to tell that she is very strongly gifted and speaks with the Weyrwoman and Weyrleader about taking her someplace else for training which is quickly agreed to and they headed to Ogrem Ghost-hold shortly thereafter. It’s a full five years later before they return with Silvara’s gifts under control but she is far more subdued and reclusive then before.

With her gifts awakening so early she took to learning as a way to help gain control of her ability’s and a way to focus. She initially started learning Healing as a tool to help gain control of her gifts. By the time she and Master Tikal returned to the weyr she was formally apprenticed with the Healers. By the time she was 12 she took to smithing as a way to do something that did not involve other beings sentient or non. Formally Apprenticing as a Smith at the age of 14. Due to having started so young as an apprentice she was well ahead of many others which would cause her unwanted attentions. At the age of 16 she walked the tables to become a Journeywoman Healer while maintaining her Apprentice rank in smithing. Shortly after walking the tables she impressed her dragon and put her craft training on hold to focus on Weyrling training to become a full rider.

Thankfully by the time she completed her Weyrling training with the rest of her year group her return to her Crafts and subsequent rise in ranks was far less noticeable as she was at the age that most would normally walk the tables to gain such ranks. It was not to long before she walked the tables to become a Master Rank Healer and latter a Journeywoman Rank Smith thankfully with no real complications or naysaying about her advancement.

Some minor incidents happened during Weyrling training but it was only near the very end that one of those who disliked Silvara took things too far. M'kel having become fed up with not being able to strut around like a lord holder attempted to force himself on Silv. This did not end well for him as she lashed out and mentally "Neutered" him and to a lesser extent his dragon. After that he was punished and it was not long after that everyone was able to return to their home weyrs and start their lives as full dragon riders.

After that things were fairly quiet for Silvara as she split her time between Healer, with a focus on Mind Healing, Smithing, and examining and training other Gifted youngsters in the weyr. It was during this time that she ended up with a crush on a Green Rider named Valeum, Val for short, Silv knew from the start that there was no hope of anything happening between her and the green rider but it did not seem to stop her heart to act up. Warrelith had also noticed and tried to find a way to get Valeum to see Silv as a potential mate leading some rather funny rumors running around. Eventually Val did catch wind of it from some friends who wanted her to find out if the rumors were true. Sadly, things turned out badly when Silv removed herself from the weyr sensing that one of the dragons was going to rise soon and Val followed her not aware that it was her Green that was going to Rise. Val shortly after transferred to a different weyr and Silv has remained distant to anyone she does not see as family or a close friend since then.

Craft / Skills / Ranks:
She is a Master Rank Healer with a specialty in mind healing. She likes to help those who have experienced strong mental trauma and or phobias. She has also been deemed the premier expert on the various gifts that exist and how to identify and train them. She has at least a low grade version of all of the gifts coupled with her exceptionally powerful Telepathy and Empathy allows her to guide others towards mastery of their own gifts.

With a fondness for fine detail work she is exceptional at making jewelry but also likes making swords and weapons. When stressed she can often be found working wire and small bits of metal and stone into jewelry items. With the freedom of being a Journeywoman ranked smith she has more chance to experiment with metal mixes to make Damascus steel blades.


Pets:
None Currently

Dragon/Dolphin:
Blue Warrelith (Dragon)

Description:
He is a blue dragon of slightly smaller size then his color normally has and in truth is about the same size as a small green, his coloration is a lovely shimmering shade of blue that seems to be a blend of ocean blues and ice blues. He is very powerful for his size which is for the best. Oddly he has shown no interest in trying to fly and catch any of the female dragons and is rather content to take his bonded off somewhere secluded so she will not be overwhelmed by the strong emotions that come during mating flights. His chest has some minor scaring from his hatching but they are very faint and are more felt then seen. His mind voice is actually very androgynous but does seem to favor the male side.

Personality:
Warrelith has a rather aloof personality. He has a dry and subtle wit. Whenever anyone is telling a story or a Harper is singing he will most likely be near listening in. He loves his bonded deeply and is always wishing she would make more friends though he understands her hesitance on getting to close to too many people at once. Oddly he has a phobia of Crawlers (Tiny creatures like six-legged geckos with suction cup feet) which Silvara finds charming and she will quickly save him if one ends up near him. He loves listening to Silvara sing and has been working on trying to sing himself as some fire lizards do though he still has not mastered it. He also loves to go fishing and posing for his bonded when she feels like sketching.

Other Info:
Originally it was assumed that he was a neuter but latter it was deemed that he does have all the “equipment” to be male he just does not seem overly interested in trying to catch Rising females. Though this may be due more to his bonded’s aversion to tactile interactions rather than actual disinterest in females.

NPC Characters:
Allies:
Master Tikal: A Master healer who was called to Benden Weyr when Silvara’s gifts awoke and has been her main teacher ever since. He is calm and collected and has a touch of Empathy himself so understands Silvara rather well.
Status: Alive - Came to the Future with the group

Green Rider Sika: A little accident prone and soon came to see Silvara as the person to go to whenever she ended up damaged due to her klutziness. They are good friends but nothing more as Sika is very straight and Silvara would never try anything on her. They are very close friends though and Sika thinks it's kind of sad that Silvara seems so very much alone so much of the time and tries to help Warrelith in his schemes to get Silvara a lover if not a full-fledged life mate. Died during an Anti-Weyr attack near the beginning of the AW's rise.
Status: Dead - Early casualty in the Anti-Weyr formation

Learyam, (the original) Sandy Haired Male: Was one in a set of 5 younglings who used to torment Silvara till she got Warrelith and he did not impress at that time and found himself on the other side of the bullying. He learns more about her and wants to be her friend as well as hoping to make up for the bullying. His first standing on the sands he is 12. His mother raised him at Benden weyr but as she was of the weaving craft he did not have much if any interactions with those who helped Silvara which is why he did not side with her against the others. He does not know who his father is but it is assumed to be one of the dragon riders.
Status: Dead - Remained behind and tried to preserve as much as he could in journals which were passed down his family line to his many times grandson with his same name.

Learyam, (the many times grandson) L'yam, Sandy Haired Male looks just like his ancestor. No Dragon yet = eventually Rrisith, becomes pests to Silvara and Warrelith always wanting to ask them questions. Especially about the time before when there were many weyrs and few gifts.
Status: Alive – Native to the current time point

Alina: Silvara's best friend and confident. One of the few people Silv is willing to hug beyond her mother and H'lee. Knows about Silv's drawing and knack for making secret holds in coastal cave to hide at during mating flights.
Status: Alive - Came to the Future with the group

Valeum Green Rider, Chiith Green Dragon: Was a fellow Weyrling at the same time as Silvara as she got her green at the same time Silv bonded with Warrelith. After becoming a full rider, she ended up being the biggest flirt in the weyr and getting involved with a new guy every week or so. Some of her friend’s latter figured out from rumors that Silv had a crush on Val and made a bet with her to find out if those rumors were true. As Silv was seen as this aloof distant powerful healer. At first things were not too bad with just meeting and talking. Silv had hoped to maybe become friends and get the crush to go away but sadly things went sideways when she noted one of the greens was going to Rise and she left the weyr to her hiding space only for Val to follow her. Val unaware that it was her green that was going to rise was subsequently flown by Warrelith. After the flight Val lashed out at Silv then left her to return to the weyr and request to move to a different weyr playing it off that she wanted to see what another weyr had to offer her. No further contact was had after she moved to a different weyr.
Status: Dead


Childhood Enemies:
Miskel, M’kel, Blond Male: Bronze Dragon, One of two who lead a group of candidates against Silvara at times with his sister. He is envious of all the time she gets with masters and the fact that she has, what to him looks like, an easy time of things. Unaware of just how long she has been working in her chosen crafts or about her gifts, also unhappy that she prefers other females. He is also unnerved by her calm and sage like countenance. (At impression 15/16)
Status: Dead

Misha, Blond Female: Green Dragon, Two of two who lead a group of candidates against Silvara at times with her brother. She hates the fact that Silvara has already reached journey woman rank in healers and is said to be close to that rank in smith as well thinking that the teachers are being easy on her. She is also disturbed by the fact that Silvara prefers other females over males which also makes her question her own interests which she does not want to admit to. She also thinks that the Masters let Silvara get away with not working as hard unaware that Silvara is taking all the same lessons just at different times. (At impression 15/16)
Status: Dead

M’kel and Misha were born in Bitra Hold and searched around 13-14 to become Candidates and start standing at various Weyrs for hatchings finally coming to Benden Weyr where they finally Impress and become riders. When they first became Candidates they were glad for the change of scenery till they found out how much work is involved in being a Candidate and later a Dragon Rider even if Rider’s are no longer flying thread. It does not take them long to pull a few of the other Candidates into a group to run with while also seeing Silvara as someone to hate as she seems to be favored by the Weyr folk and Masters. So they start to pick on her in retaliation for the favoritism they assume she is getting unaware of how much work she has put in to get to where she is now.

Minions of M’kel and Misha:
B'ron, Benron, Red Head Male: Brown Dragon
Born to Igen Weyr he has been a candidate for almost 2 years now and eager to have a dragon of his own. (At impression 16)
Status: Dead

Y'ken, Yanken, Black Head Male: Blue Dragon
Also born to Igen Weyr he is best friends with B'ron and they grew up together. He will follow his friend anywhere he goes. (At impression 15)
Status: Dead

Current Enemies:
None with names yet

Accepted. ^^

How old is Rrisith and his rider?

Just so anyone reading this knows, Silv and I discussed this character, especially Warrelith, in depth before she applied for this character. For those who are confused about him, you can think of him as sort of a blue version of Ruth.
