Family:
Father: Sabrin, was a Master Fisherman. He married Lira, a Beastcraftmen's daughter also native to Ista Island, at 36 turns old. Lira was 31 turns at their wedding. Lira and Sabrin had a little girl they named Monara. Four turns later, Lira gave birth to twin boys, Wotumer and Hosarn. Monara's twin brothers were fostered by Lira’s brother, Hadrian, after their mother's death at their birth. Hadrian and his wife lived at Fort Hold, and raised the twins with their family. Monara staid on The Sedona with her father. Sabrin drowned in the storm with his crew that orphaned and shipwrecked Monara. He had black hair that was tinted with silver and nearly black eyes that made-up his most noticeable features. Along with a broad sturdy body and lean arms and legs. He stood at a solid 5’9” inches high.
Mother: Lira grew up on a small hold in Benden until her family moved to the warmer climate of Ista Island, to help her father recover from a bad accident with a berserk runner beast. Her family never moved back to Benden although they still have family relations living there. The third of seven children and the oldest girl, Lira had worked most of her life and never married as her mother grew sick late in her life and died. After that Lira took over the running the hold and helped her father train runnerbeasts. Lira would look to the bright side of the worst problems thrown at her. She died after giving birth to her twin sons. She was 5’6” tall and had curly dirty blond hair light brown skin, with deep brown eyes and a mouth that was always on the brink of a smile and had bright red, full lips.
Grandmother (Gram): Rylinda was Sabrin’s mother. She lived her whole life on Ista and married young to Sedran. Sedran died in a storm while fishing, and his body was never found. Rylinda had a handful with her two daughters after Sedran’s death but then found out she was pregnant again and gave birth to Sabrin the next spring. She kept her family alive by doing Drudge work for any Cotholds’ or Minor Holds’. She’s still as sharp to everyone one she knows and pampers her daughters grandchildren just as much as she pampered her own children and Monara. She now lives by herself in a small hold near Ista Hold. She has been in denial of her sons and granddaughters disappearance and obvious death. Small at only 5’1½ inches with beady dew colored eyes, black straight hair, suntanned arms that were light skinned originally and freckles that cover her thin nose and high boned cheeks.
Wotumer: Funny and always cheerful Wotumer was a klutz and even though he tried, usually broke a plate or cup if he was cleaning up after a meal. When he was younger he could be conned into doing crazy stunts by his cousins and brother which landed him with extra chores for weeks while the real culprits never were caught. That has changed and now Wotumer is a Apprentice Harper at Harper Hall. Wotumer never saw much of his father as he was usually away on his boat and would only stop and check in on them if there was a special occasion. Because of that he was never closes to his sister and his father so he wasn’t hurt when he heard of his fathers ships disappearance.
The twins are 19 turns old now and have very different lives, and have very different personalities. They still look identical, the only thing telling who is who is their hair lengths. Wotumer has black hair brown eyes, a straight nose with freckles peppering his cheeks, thing lips and high cheek bones he stands at 5’10” inches. That’s all placed on a wiry body with thin but strong arms and legs.
Hosarn: Broody could be his middle name along with selfish. He rarely thinks of other people before his own needs. The leader and first born of the twins, Hosarn was a terror to the old people around the hold always playing tricks on them especially. He didn’t care who got blamed for his own crimes unless its one of his gang. He dreamed of being a full fledged thief lord and running away to Bitra Hold to begin his horribly reign. Robbing was the only profession Hosarn got pleasure out of when he was younger He kept all the little treasures he “found” in a secret hiding place and gave them out to his follower’s when they did a good prank as rewards. Rebellious Hosarn had tried running away many times but always ended up getting caught somewhere along the way much to his own disgust. He has become a drudge at 19 and is very jealous of his brothers Apprenticeship to Harper Hall. He still steals every now and then but harsh punishment for being caught has halted his love for thieving. Hosarn has brown eyes tan skin and lots of freckles he can’t be told apart from Wotumer unless you look at his black hair that’s just a tad bit longer as he has avoided getting it cut for awhile. He stands at 5’10” tall.
Pets: 1 Fire Lizard Brown Kye (deceased). Kye was Impressed by Monara when she was 15 turns old. One of the ships crew found eggs on the beach of Ista Island. He thought they were bird eggs and brought them in to be cooked. After setting them on the table, Monara, who was making bread, watched as the 8 eggs the shipmen had brought hatched and flew away. In a state of amazement Monara barely noticed the little brown fire lizard eating the bread in her hand. Finally noticing him she picked him up and fed him some fish meat. Keeping him hidden from her father and the crew, Kye as she called him, became her best and most secret friend.
He survived through the storm that led to Monara’s arrival at Lateo Weyr and Her Impression of Jith, her green dragon. Kye was very welcome of Jith and the two become close friends over the years. Sadly enough Kye broke his leg, though Monara has no idea how, and died of the infection fever a few days later. He was 6 turns old.
Appearance:
Monara’s hair is black, and it used to be straight but has become slightly wavy since growing longer, making it hard to control as she has grown older. Her skin is light olive in its original color, but has tanned from the hot sun of the southern continent. She has a small birthmark on her right shoulder, it is round and a little darker than her own skin making it hard to spot in the summer. Monara has a small, oval-ish face with bright oval shaped eyes that can be called dark hazel or light brown, she usually says brown. Monara's height is 5 feet, 7 inches, a height that she happily grew into as she grew older. Some say her eyes are her best and main features, though others say her smile. Whatever the case Monara can’t be called bad looking. Having grown out of her tom-boy stick-thin body Monara developed all of the womanly curves that have attracted many a mans eye.
Having worked for most of her life she is very strong, but her slim build doesn’t suggest such a strong body. Monara has a small burn mark on her left wrist from an accident when she was 8 turns old, she was handling a pot to heavy for her full of boiling water and vegetables, when the left handle slipped from her grasp it caused boiling water to burn all over her left wrist. There was no permanent damage besides a red-rash covering her left wrist.
Monara’s taste in clothes isn’t what you would say very developed but it has become her way of showing who she is at Lateo Weyr, as Monara didn’t really grow up with anyone who cared about what she wore or as other girls grow up trying to impress suitors or showing off to her friends which Monara never really become interested in. She has always preferred pants over dresses and skirts, being a Dragonrider has allowed her to dress in her own type of wardrobe. She likes to feel free and unconstrained when she working, which is most of the time. Any clothes she owns have been dyed a certain color that she liked; for instances, Monara cloths are mostly solid in color, deep red, green, or blue being her favorite colors, with the occasional light pink or baby blue shades for festive occasions. Monara has always worn men’s clothing, growing up with her father who didn’t know how to clothe a young woman, so he stuck to what he did know and Monara never had a shortage of hand-me-down boys clothes. She would only wear a dress if she was forced into the dress, or if Monara wanted to look pretty for her grandmother or other family if something important came up.
Personality:
Monara always had a case of shyness when it comes to meeting new people her own age, she was afraid that she was going to somehow embarrass herself, which is the cause her shyness. Monara quickly grew out of her shyness after Impressing Jith who helped build her self-confidence. Monara enjoys talking with adults more so because they talk about stuff she’s interested in. When she was younger Monara had found sanctuary with her father’s crew, avoiding another embarrassing conversation with anyone besides the adults she all ready knew. Sometimes Monara could get away from all the commotion by staying on the Sedona or relaxing in her bunk room.
One of the things that Monara enjoys the most is swimming. She used to regularly take long swims out to her favorite spot when she was docked at her fathers house were her grandmother Rylinda lives. It was a little island about a half a mile out to sea. It’s was her favorite spot because there is no seaweed in the water surrounding the island and there are big rocks that are great for sun tanning and exploring. The fishing was good too, due to a small current that drops off food to the big tasty fish. Monara felt the most comfortable out there because no one told her when to do chores or cook and so on. Monara used to be out there most of the days just fishing with Kye. Monara had an adventurous side (that she still has) that had put her in jeopardy more than once. Always interested in what was overboard, Monara had fallen off The Sedona 3 times by 6 turns old, trying to look at something or catch a pretty fish. Some say that this gave Sabrin his head of gray hairs prematurely.
Monara can read, and she knows most of the Harpers’ learning songs along with the songs poems and so on about the great Dragonriders that once existed. She has a great dislike for runner beasts, since she was nearly ran over by a stallion once. Her father forced her to learn to ride, so she knows how to, but very rarely does. Monara prefers water transport over land. Not having her mothers love for runner beasts. She has a few skills, she learned at a young age how to cook. Monara was the ship's cook at the age of 13 turns and has loved it since. Planting and gardening also interest her. Being at sea she isn’t around a lot of plants, but each time she was visiting her grandmothers house, Monara helped her grandmother with watering the garden that Rylinda keeps.
Food and songs are a big favorites with Monara. Her grandmother used to sing her songs as she went to bed, learning songs of any type is a favorite past time that Monara used to sometimes spend with her grandmother. Food being an profession of her likening, she can be called selfish when and around food of her likening. Monara has been known to cook a cake just for herself and eating it all herself in front of the entire crew. Even though Monara has always lived on the ocean her father never allowed her to learn about boating; instead, she practiced sewing and knitting. He felt this should help find her the husband that she continued to avoid up until the sinking of The Sedona.
History:
Sabrin was born on Ista island on the west coast, growing up with his two older sisters, Rawna and Katrane. Becoming a Fisherman apprentice when he was 14 turns old, and a master at the age of 29 turns. He traveled to various ports on his boat, The Sedona (named after his grandmother). Besides fishing, Sabrin would take people and cargo to certain ports for extra marks. On one such occasion on Ista he met Lira, a Beastcraftmen's daughter, while he was loading on two prize-bred runner beasts. Lira’s home was on the inner part of the island were her family owned 23 acres and their runnerbeast Cothold. She had lived there since she was 12, when her family moved there from Benden. Sabrin married Lira at 36 turns old and Lira was 31 turns at their wedding. Lira had a little girl she called Monara. Four turns later Lira gave birth to 2 twin boys (Wotumer& Hosarn). Being sick and weak from the birth she died at Fort Holds, Healer Hall a month after having them. The boys were fostered by Lira’s brother Hadrian who lived at Fort Hold, raising the twins with his family.
There was never a moment when her mother and father didn’t know were Monara was. Being what Sabrin believed accident prone, Sabrin kept Monara working all of the time so she wouldn’t get into trouble, which Monara managed to do often. Whether she was cooking or cleaning, Sabrin always had someone helping or watching Monara, until she was 12, when Sabrin thought Monara old enough to take care of herself. Getting chores finished was always time consuming which usually left Monara irritable. This caused trouble for the crew if the got on her bad side, but a quick joke or two from Sabrin would sometimes put her into a good or better mood. Swimming at the age of 3 Monara feels most comfortable in the water. Causing a scare or two for her babysitters. Monara is rather shy around people her own, age due to not enough socialization when she was growing up. Once she had a friend Lyrn who lived near her grandmothers house, but being on the boat caused that friendship to fade away. Though Monara still remembers Lyrn as being a great buddy.
Sabrin had been looking for possible husbands to marry Monara to marry since she turned 16 turns. Fights had been braking out between Monara and Sabrin about husbands. Sabrin thought Monara old enough to marry, but Monara would not until she found the right man, this had angered Sabrin because it was HIS choice not hers on who she marries. This made the last few conversations on The Sedona very strained.
Annoying her father and her possible husband to be, Monara had been mean, sarcastic and rude in hopes of buying time to escape at what-ever port or hold they land on next. A husband wouldn’t be so bad if they all weren’t so old and strict. All of the men Sabrin had chosen either widower’s or men who wanted a young bride in the beds. In Monara’s sight, each one of the suitors were ugly in their own way. They didn’t have any personality, and believed that woman shouldn’t be allowed to work in crafts besides that of Harper and Healing. And to add it up all of them were sailors or high ranking Master Fisherman, Captains and Journeymen who heard that Sabrin was trying to find a husband for his daughter.
Monara was on The Sedona with her Father until a tropical storm caused the ship to capsize. Monara managed to survive, washing up on the southern continent with Kye, her fire lizard. Monara’s father may have drowned along with his boat's crewmen, Monara didn't see or find any survivors. She was rescued by a rider searching out a ship wreck that she was looking at the time. Monara was brought back to Lateo Weyr, stunned at the discovery of Dragonriders in the South. Monara suddenly had a new ambition and was allowed by Weyrwoman Kyparla to stand as a Candidate for Gold Savath’s first clutch, where she Impressed green Jith.
Monara and Jith endured Weyrling training though they both would have rather swam than learn about flight positions. Jith, though small at her hatching grew slowly but surely over time to the average size of a green dragon hallways through her second year. The pair loves to fly and secretly used to race other Weyrlings during their training behind the Weyrling Masters back, they were only caught a few times, so Monara and Jith weren’t the best behaved Weyrling pair. Jith rose for her first flight at nearly two turns old. She was caught by an older Dragonrider’s blue. Since then Jith has risen regularly, though Monara has never conceived, if she has then it is usually aborted due to the many trips between with Jith. They both successfully completed Weyrling training and became Wingriders, with few problems, ads the pair dislikes getting into trouble.
Monara doesn’t want to have children until later in her life, when she and Jith have been together longer and she meets the right person. So far she hasn’t found him yet, though she has had a few short relationships over the years. Losing Kye hurt Monara very much since he had been with her since before the shipwreck. She was depressed for nearly a month before Jith was able to snap her out of it. Since then Monara has been able to deal with her emotions better, she still misses her father, and now Kye, but Monara realizes that life moves on. She hope’s to one day Impress another firelizard though the thought of replacing Kye still hurts her enough to make no effort in finding any available eggs.
Dragon Information
Name: Jith
Color: Her color has darkened as she has grown older, she now sports a beautiful jewel tone gree hide, that is almost black on her back and has dark splotches that cover her haunches, her belly and wing membranes are a lighter color. She has almost blackish green around her claws. Near her eyes and on the top part of her snout the color is almost black, but the rest of her face is evergreen.
Age: 2501 - 6 turns
Hatching Order 20th
Description : Jith’s a large-sized green, and has a fine frame. She is more lean with her muscles, instead of bulky like some greens. Her strength is not lacking, though her appearance may seem too feminine, she has a lot of hidden strength under her hide. She can obtain fast speeds but only for a short while, she doesn’t have good endurance, one of the things that Monara and her are working on. Her head is slim, but it fits her shape.
Personality: Jith loves attention, but hates to admit the fact, and can be considered self-center when she is in a bad mood. Jith cares a lot about what people, and dragons, think of her, liking to do her own thing, but quietly enough so she doesn’t get in trouble. something she has had to deal with and will be dealing with her entire life. She loves to flirt, knowing that she is beautiful, she uses her appearance to her advantage with other dragons and has the most fun when trying to get some of the big bronzes to flirt along with her.
History: Jith was the last and smallest egg to hatch. She needed help because she couldn’t get out of the egg herself and feeling the presence of her one true life mate called out for help, Monara… Please help your Jith Monara was stunned to hear a voice in her head, but soon noticed the small egg that contained her dragon and helped Jith escape from her shell. Jith was very small at her hatching and was like that until she was abut 6 months when she started growing very fast and catching up to size with some of her other green clutch mates. Even so she was much older when she finally grew into her average size. The two have been together ever since.
Weyrling training was a big test of patience for Jith., if it hadn’t been for Monara she would have skipped every session, but Monara forced Jith to take the reasonability of being a fighting dragon seriously. The two had many a fun time racing her other clutch mates, whether they won or lost Monara and Jith always had fun. Though the two hated getting in trouble they were caught a few times, after the third time though they stopped racing, feeling that they next time would harbor a more severe punishment than extra chores. In her first flight Jith-Monara outwitted and out flew her suitors for a while but was quickly caught by a seasoned blue dragon. They completed Weyrling training and went on to become Wingriders at Lateo Weyr.
Clutch: 2501, gold Savath, by bronze Phelanth. First clutch.

Swimming at the age of 3 Monara feels most comfortable in the water. Causing a scare or two for her babysitters. Monara is rather shy around people her own, age due to not enough socialization when she was growing up. Once she had a friend Lyrn who lived near her grandmothers house, but being on the boat caused that friendship to fade away. Though Monara still remembers Lyrn as being a great buddy.
Sabrin had been looking for possible husbands to marry Monara to marry since she turned 16 turns. Fights had been braking out between Monara and Sabrin about husbands. Sabrin thought Monara old enough to marry, but Monara would not until she found the right man, this had angered Sabrin because it was HIS choice not hers on who she marries. This made the last few conversations on The Sedona very strained.
Annoying her father and her possible husband to be, Monara had been mean, sarcastic and rude in hopes of buying time to escape at what-ever port or hold they land on next. A husband wouldn’t be so bad if they all weren’t so old and strict. All of the men Sabrin had chosen either widower’s or men who wanted a young bride in the beds. In Monara’s sight, each one of the suitors were ugly in their own way. They didn’t have any personality, and believed that woman shouldn’t be allowed to work in crafts besides that of Harper and Healing. And to add it up all of them were sailors or high ranking Master Fisherman, Captains and Journeymen who heard that Sabrin was trying to find a husband for his daughter.
Monara was on The Sedona with her Father until a tropical storm caused the ship to capsize. Monara managed to survive, washing up on the southern continent with Kye, her fire lizard. Monara’s father may have drowned along with his boat's crewmen, Monara didn't see or find any survivors. She was rescued by a rider searching out a ship wreck that she was looking at the time. Monara was brought back to Lateo Weyr, stunned at the discovery of Dragonriders in the South. Monara suddenly had a new ambition and was allowed by Weyrwoman Kyparla to stand as a Candidate for Gold Savath’s first clutch, where she Impressed green Jith.
Monara and Jith endured Weyrling training though they both would have rather swam than learn about flight positions. Jith, though small at her hatching grew slowly but surely over time to the average size of a green dragon hallways through her second year. The pair loves to fly and secretly used to race other Weyrlings during their training behind the Weyrling Masters back, they were only caught a few times, so Monara and Jith weren’t the best behaved Weyrling pair. Jith rose for her first flight at nearly two turns old. She was caught by an older Dragonrider’s blue. Since then Jith has risen regularly, though Monara has never conceived, if she has then it is usually aborted due to the many trips between with Jith. They both successfully completed Weyrling training and became Wingriders, with few problems, ads the pair dislikes getting into trouble.
Monara doesn’t want to have children until later in her life, when she and Jith have been together longer and she meets the right person. So far she hasn’t found him yet, though she has had a few short relationships over the years. Losing Kye hurt Monara very much since he had been with her since before the shipwreck. She was depressed for nearly a month before Jith was able to snap her out of it. Since then Monara has been able to deal with her emotions better, she still misses her father, and now Kye, but Monara realizes that life moves on. She hope’s to one day Impress another firelizard though the thought of replacing Kye still hurts her enough to make no effort in finding any available eggs.

Hatching Order 20th
Description : Jith’s a large-sized green, and has a fine frame. She is more lean with her muscles, instead of bulky like some greens. Her strength is not lacking, though her appearance may seem too feminine, she has a lot of hidden strength under her hide. She can obtain fast speeds but only for a short while, she doesn’t have good endurance, one of the things that Monara and her are working on. Her head is slim, but it fits her shape.
Personality: Jith loves attention, but hates to admit the fact, and can be considered self-center when she is in a bad mood. Jith cares a lot about what people, and dragons, think of her, liking to do her own thing, but quietly enough so she doesn’t get in trouble. something she has had to deal with and will be dealing with her entire life. She loves to flirt, knowing that she is beautiful, she uses her appearance to her advantage with other dragons and has the most fun when trying to get some of the big bronzes to flirt along with her.
History: Jith was the last and smallest egg to hatch. She needed help because she couldn’t get out of the egg herself and feeling the presence of her one true life mate called out for help, Monara… Please help your Jith Monara was stunned to hear a voice in her head, but soon noticed the small egg that contained her dragon and helped Jith escape from her shell. Jith was very small at her hatching and was like that until she was abut 6 months when she started growing very fast and catching up to size with some of her other green clutch mates. Even so she was much older when she finally grew into her average size. The two have been together ever since.
Weyrling training was a big test of patience for Jith., if it hadn’t been for Monara she would have skipped every session, but Monara forced Jith to take the reasonability of being a fighting dragon seriously. The two had many a fun time racing her other clutch mates, whether they won or lost Monara and Jith always had fun. Though the two hated getting in trouble they were caught a few times, after the third time though they stopped racing, feeling that they next time would harbor a more severe punishment than extra chores. In her first flight Jith-Monara outwitted and out flew her suitors for a while but was quickly caught by a seasoned blue dragon. They completed Weyrling training and went on to become Wingriders at Lateo Weyr.
Clutch: 2501, gold Savath, by bronze Phelanth. First clutch.
