Rank: Weyrhealer
Location: Dragonsfall Weyr
Craft: Healer
Craft Rank: Master

Physical Description of Persona:
She carries the lean, hardened muscle of someone who has spent decades on dragonback, and now Turns of fighting thread. There are a few strands of silver in her golden hair these days, but it’s easy to miss. She still keeps her hair long, most often braided in a thick plait down her back. There are a few lines around her dark green eyes, but they’re mostly laugh lines, not frown lines. No one would ever mistake her for anything but a dragonrider- she swore when she left the Holds she’d never put on a dress again, and has mostly kept that vow over the Turns

Emotional Description of Persona:
The Turns have mellowed Alyndra’s temper (mostly), but a stubborn streak remains. While she’s fiercely loyal to her friends, her sharp tongue and stubborn streak make her not the easiest to get along with. Used to having to fight for what she wants and deserves, she has a tendency to get defensive when confronted. She is a hard worker, and determined to do well at anything she sets her mind to, however.

History of Persona:
Alyndra grew up at Amber Hills Hold as the oldest of a small herd of siblings. Always independent and stubborn, she fought against the confines of the expectations her family had for her. Her only ally at the hold was her mother’s older sister, who had been a Healer before the plague had led the Halls to stop accepting women. Recognizing something familiar in her favorite niece, she had reached out to an old dragonrider friend and arranged for a visit.

While her family didn’t approve of sending their young daughter to the Weyr, when she disappeared, leaving behind almost all of her worldly possessions and a note, they didn’t make much of an effort to have her brought back, admitting that this solved some uncomfortable problems.

Alyndra had gone to the Weyr seeking a craft, but she didn’t turn down the chance to Stand, and it was a pleasant surprise when a feisty little green picked her out of all the candidates on the Sands that day. Weyrlinghood was rough. The pair felt they had something to prove and raged against every slight, real or perceived. What helped get them through was friends, and what started as a crush on an older classmate (R’vayn) turned into a life-long friendship that has added a thread of stability through the rest of Alyndra’s life.

The Turns that followed were busy, and mostly happy. She pursued her craft, and did what duties an interval dragonrider had. Eventually, a tumultuous relationship with another classmate, R’kesha, resulted in a son, and while she happily left his day to day care in the hands of experienced (and less busy) foster parents, she has done her best to remain somewhat involved in his life, though it tends to swing from benevolent neglect to intense interference as the seasons change. The relationship was on again, off again for many Turns- mostly on when she was at Dragonsfall, off when she was off pursuing her training. A few Turns ago it ended permanently in an explosive and public fight that ended with most of R’kesha’s things being tossed into the Weyrbowl, and Alyndra maintaining possession of a weyr that is technically larger than a solo greenrider would qualify for.

Most of her time has been spent at Dragonsfall Weyr, though she has done a few short term stints at other Weyrs, mostly in her younger years when she was doing her best to rush her way to her master knots. Since obtaining those, she’s settled back permanently at Dragonsfall Weyr

Dragon's Name: Valeriath
Dragon's Age: 24
Dragon's Hatching Date: m13 d1
Dragon's Colour: Green
Next Mating Flight: m1 d26 of turn 13
Description of Dragon:
Description: Valeriath is a rather average sized green, though slightly oversized wings and an overly large tail can give the impression that she’s larger than her total mass warrants. She’s a dark forest green with a dark stripe down her spine and additional dark stripes down her shoulders

Dragon personality: Valeriath has a temper. She can be irritable and testy, though she's the last dragon who would ever hold a grudge, even if she could remember it. A little jealous, she is also the last dragon to share a meal or happily consent to her rider accepting a ride from another dragon. To those that can put up with her moods, she’s a loyal and fierce friend, and to those that can’t… well, who cares about them anyway?

Pets

Copper, Bronze Firelizard: aged 16, hatched m1 d1
Copper is, as the name implies, a pretty, coppery colored bronze. He's quite smart, but not always obedient, and prone to stealing any food or drinks left unattended around him.
