Edited solely to change they/them pronouns for Ahigath to she/her and to remove a random unfinished line from Haseya's personality! Name: Haseya
Age: 28 Turns (3548.04.09)
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Idk… not interested right now.
Weyr: Western Weyr
Rider Rank: Weyrling
Previous Rank/Craft: Journeyman Healer
Physical Description: A very tall woman with broader shoulders and an athletic build. She has dark skin and thick, dark hair that comes to the middle of her back. Her eyes are brown and upturned in shape, and she’s quick to smile.
Personality: At first glance, Haseya seems to be a calm and welcoming individual. She sees no reason not to treat everyone with kindness until they give her a reason not to. With a mothering nature at heart, those who seem lost or in need of assistance might find themselves metaphorically scooped up to be fussed over. Haseya likes to take care of everyone if she can, and is often the peacemaker in groups. Unfortunately, Haseya also tends to be an overprotective over people she cares about. She’d spare them all the suffering in the world, if she was able to, even though that suffering might enable them to learn and grow as a person. She just wants to be able to keep people happy and safe, unrealistic as that sometimes is.
Though a warm and genuine person, Haseya has struggles with finding affection for herself. In the past, she would have happily sacrificed herself if that meant protecting someone else, especially since it would mean she wouldn’t have to live and deal with the agony of the loss. Time and the love of those around her has tempered this, and though Haseya still struggles with bad days, she knows she has things worth living for in her life. Unfortunately, Haseya always prefers to be the comforting shoulder for people and would rather hide her problems behind a smile rather than talk about them. It irrationally feels selfish to her to burden other people with her worries and problems, and she has the tendency to bottle things up until she’s nearly drowning in them.
Never a person to rush into things, Haseya is generally a level-headed and rational person in most situations. She considers her options before leaping into things, and does not allow her heart to rule her unless it involves the people she cares deeply for. She is also not a woman to boast of her accomplishments and will rarely take credit for her actions. Though the first to praise others, she does not do the same for herself, and doesn’t believe she needs recognition if she does something worthwhile. The action itself is reward enough.
Positive Trait List Nurturing, Rational, Humble
Negative Trait List Depressed, Secretive, Overprotective
History: Born in a middling size Hold on the Western continent, Haseya grew up in a loving family with two younger siblings. Ever since she was young, she had a vested interest in helping others, and sought to apprentice as a Healer once she was old enough. She left with her parents’ blessing, and though she wrote to them frequently, she worked hard to apply herself to her lessons. She walked the tables once she was 20 Turns, and was extremely eager to start aiding people however she could.
Haseya was stationed at a larger Hold than the one she’d grown up in, and quickly adapted to her new life. She met a man named Yiska, and he courted her steadily for several Turns. They became romantically involved, and around her 25th Turn, Haseya realized she was pregnant. Yiska was delighted, and the two began to speak of marriage. All seemed perfect and good up until the day that Thread returned.
It was a nightmare.
Thread ravaged the Hold without prejudice, and if there hadn’t been dragonriders living there, Haseya likely would have died that day. The dragonriders gathered up whomever they could and took them Between to some place safer. In this case, it happened to be Western Weyr. Though Haseya and Yiska were safe, the journey Between caused her to lose her child. Haseya was devastated and sank into a deep depression. Though Yiska did his best to try and support her, she pushed him away. They ended on bitter terms, and he decided to leave and try to make something of his life. Her family was spared from Thread’s destruction, and made sure to keep in touch with her either via letter, or coming to visit her when they could manage it.
Haseya remained at the Weyr for nearly two Turns, coming to terms with her grief and doing what she could to lend her aid to the dragonriders risking their lives to protect them. Eventually, once Haseya slowly began to crawl her way out of the worst of her depression, she was informed that a Searchdragon had found her eligible to Stand, and now that her mental health was better, she would be allowed to become a Candidate if she wished.
She thought long and hard about her options before agreeing. She stood on the sands for a Turn before her Ahigath hatched, and then her life changed entirely for the better.
Other: Anything else you want to add?
DRAGON
Name: Ahigath
Personality There seems to be a permanent sort of smugness to Ahigath, a confidence and self-worth that can’t be shaken. Some might say that this dragon is too clever by half, and she does NOT use her powers for good. Mischief, thy name is Ahigath, and no one is safe once this dragon gets going. Life is too short to be stuck-up and fussy, so Ahigath won’t hesitate to verbally n** at others just to see if she can’t rile them up. Nothing delights her more than a good prank, especially if her target reacts spectacularly! Those with more volatile reactions will be personal favorites for Ahigath, but it will be up to their rider to ensure that she doesn’t take things too far. Ahigath has difficulty realizing when enough is enough, and can accidentally hurt feelings without meaning to.
Despite her penchant for seeing just how far they can take things, Ahigath is absolutely a laid back creature. This dragon rarely, if ever, gets riled up, and attempts to belittle her will be met with utter amusement and a returned quip of her own. She'll happily welcome a verbal spar, but if things get physical? No thanks, she's out. Unfortunately, this relaxed attitude also means that warnings and critique rollright off of her hide. One more strike and she's in huge trouble? Meh. That’s future Ahigath’s problem.
Despite her devil-may-care attitude, Ahigath is hardly a bad dragon. She considers herself to be on good terms with everyone, and though she’d never admit it, she likes to keep an idle eye on her clutchsibs in particular to make certain everything is going all right with them. This dragon isn’t one to fuss and coddle over people, but if she can find a way to anonymously fix a problem for someone, she’ll most likely do it. Just don’t tell anyone. She doesn't need people thinking she's some sort of nice guy, all right?
In fact, Ahigath sometimes struggles to really be nice, verbally. It’s much easier for her to tease or give someone the rough side of her tongue rather than pay a genuine compliment. But those who Ahigath is close to will know it… in their own way. Sure, this dragon may not come out and say it, but she’ll be very physically affectionate. Draping wings over others, cuddles during nap time… Yes, this dragon’s friends might still get quipped at, but it’s all in good fun, right?
Threadfall is the one occasion that will really fire this dragon up. She is a brave and eager fighter who will not hesitate to take a risk for someone else, even if that means she might be injured in the process. Just don’t make too much of a big deal about it later!
Clever, Laid Back, Confident
Mischievous, Dismissive, Tongue-in-cheek
Egg Size: Medium
Adult Size: Medium?
Physical Attributes: Built a bit lower to the ground than most, Ahigath is a lean and wiry dragon. Her tail is longer than average, but her shorter limbs have her take after her father… which is to say, she isn't the most graceful on the ground.
Additional Notes: Whether or not she participates in Flights all depends on her mood, or if the dragon in question catches her eye somehow. Sometimes she's all for it, and other times… meh. She’ll just watch from their ledge. Her flame is of medium length and nothing particularly special. Ahigath adores napping in the sun and can be seen frequently snoozing as she grows older.
Why Me: Haseya is a woman who’s gone through a lot in her life, and she needed someone like Ahigath to keep her from getting too stuck in her own head. Ahigath will never be fooled by the smiles Haseya wears to pretend that everything’s alright, and will be her one and true companion that she can share everything with without fear that others might find out. Though not an openly sweet dragon to others, Haseya is this dragon’s one exception, and she will physically dote on her with nuzzles and croons.
Haseya will be the one to keep Ahigath in line whenever their spirited dragon tries to take things too far. She will be able to temper the worst of Ahigath’s teasing so she doesn't go too far, and her rational nature will have her firmly put her foot down whenever her dragon acts like consequences don’t matter to her.
While Ahigath will be able to coax Haseya into letting herself have some fun (because SHE know she deserves it, thank you!), Haseya can undoubtedly help Ahigath express herself a bit more kindly. Though they have very different personalities, there’s no question that this pair was made for one another.
Beautiful Ahigath!
