Writer: Yvonne
Name: Oselle
Age: 62
Birthday: m6 d1
Rank: Headwoman
Location: Dragonsfall Weyr
Physical Description of Persona:
Severe, straight-backed and always put together, Oselle prefers practical grey dresses with high necks and pulls her long greying hair in a severe bun or braid to keep it out of the way. Her belt jingles with rings of keys as she walks, and her flinty grey eyes miss nothing.
Emotional Description of Persona:
Oselle rules the Lower Caverns with an iron fist. Hard work and following (her) rules impress her, and she is quick to discipline those who dare to cross her. She prides herself in an orderly, well-run Lower Caverns to support the fighting Wings, and she is not hesitant to claim the rewards of her good work.
Oselle’s personal life is as strictly managed as the Lower Caverns. She craves routine and orderliness and looks down on those who don’t at least attempt to live up to her standards. She admires hard work, loyalty, and family. Her friends are (very) few, but those who she deems worthy of friendship can do no wrong in her eyes. Her loyalty is strong enough to blind her to their faults and misdeeds. Although it comes as a surprise to many, she does have three ex-weyrmates and has broken a few hearts in her time.
History of Persona:
Although the rumor is that Oselle is the human child of cranky wherries, she is actually the third of a family of eight children and grew up in Coral Bay Hold. Her father remarried after his first wife died at the end of the Plague, and Oselle’s stepmother was a kindly woman nearly two decades younger than her husband. Once she was grown enough, Oselle was taken under the wing of the Coral Bay Headwoman to train as an assistant.
Oselle moved to Dragonsfall Weyr to work in the Lower Caverns when she was eighteen, although she also secretly hoped she’d Impress. Instead she met and weyrmated a bluerider named O’dit. They remained together for four Turns before amicably ending their formal relationship after the birth of their daughter, Ditelle. They co-parented quite happily throughout Ditelle’s childhood and both Oselle and O’dit re-weyrmated, although Lomara surprised everyone by choosing a Healer named Ellyanâ€" another woman.
Oselle and Ellyan stayed together for a tumultuous seven Turns before Oselle ended the relationship, tired of her wife’s cheating. She moved to Dream’s End Weyr when it opened and took a position as second to the Headwoman, where she thrived. She also weyrmated to a brownrider named V’pas, and they remained comfortably together until V’pas disappeared /between/ in the first Turn of the Pass.
Since then, she has worked at several Craft Halls and Weyrs as assistant to the Headwoman and is very pleased to move into the Headwoman position at Dragonsfall Weyr.
