Location: Lateo Weyr

Father-Krothoran: Krothoran is a tall and bulky man with light blond hair and bright green eyes. is the holder of the small beasthold and the husband of Kiarana.

He has raised both runners and herdbeasts, using them as tithes and in Gathers.He is currently 60 turns old
Mother-Kiarana: Kiarana is a smaller woman with dark eyes, darker hair and a quiet demeanor. She is the wife of the holder at the BeastHold where Kiora grew up. She came from a Fisherman's Hold, but realized that, in her opinion, red meat tasted better than Fish. She is currently 57, and is still doing well, health wise
Brother-F'tan of Brown Felsoth: F'tan is 29 turns old and is a Brownrider of Sodalis Weyr. He is Wingrider there, but is also a SearchRider, as it was found that Felsoth had an overly strong Empathy among dragons and people. He is the splitting image of the mother, though the eyes are that of the father.
Sister-Kiaron, Apprentice Glasscrafter: Kiaron is Kiora's younger sister by 3 turns,making her 19, and is currently training at the Glasscraft Hall to become a great glass maker. She has the talent to make glass go into many wonderful forms, and actually made a glass pennywhistle pipe for Kiora. She has the hair and build of the father, but the eyes and face of the mother
Brother-Kroian, Herder for the beast hold: Kroian is the oldest sibling at 32 turns old. He is in line to inherit the Beasthold after Krothoran is retired. He takes on the mirror image of their father.
Pets: a larger green Firelizard named Miaka, who she Impressed at the Harper Hall
Appearance: At 5' 8", 125 lb, Kiora has a pleasant enough body type, moderately endowed.She has dark enchanting eyes that are almond shaped and slightly tilted. They are a striking dark green.Her hair is a deep mahogany brown. When it is let out, it cascades to her waist hair, but she tends to keep it in a ponytail that hangs down her back. She also like to wear a small hair clip with a small heart-shaped stone that matched the color of Aoth's head. Her skin is tanned from her many expeditions in the South, but even so, her skin tends to burn more than tan. Her body type is a slimmer one, though it has gotten more muscular in her three turns as a rider.The most noticeable thing about Kiora is the two scores that are on either sides of her face. She got these at the first Impression she stood at, where a dragonet stumbled and slashed her with it's flailing wings.
She usually wears a long Harper Blue tunic that is slit from the lower edge to the waist on either side if her body. Under the tunic, she wears a light cream pair of breeches, which hang baggily off of her legs, but she keeps the bottoms of the legs cinched in with the brown leather boots she wears. Around her waist is a belt that is dyed black leather with a sliver buckle in the shape of a dragon. She is always seen carrying a belt knife strapped to her side, and always has an instrument of some sort in her hands or strapped onto her back.
Personality: Kiora is normally quiet and reserved, but can be outspoken about the things she believes in. She is a loner, for most people, except for the more outgoing ones, tend to avoid her, thinking her to be aloof of others. She wishes that she had friends, because it does get lonely in the Weyr. Because of her rape, she is reviled of all men. Only after it being proved, did she finally trust the Journeyman Naslen, and learned to at least be able to stand males. She still hates them utterly and completely though. Her days as a Weyrling taught her that it wasn't "right" or "proper" that a female ride a Male dragon. She is strongly against this fact and finds it old fashioned and overused. She, suprisingly, loves Aoth very much and will not stand for him to be put down jsut because she rides him.
She has a nice Soprano voice, and loves to sing,as well as any other method of Harpering, but her favorite thing to do is play the pipes, and she has a particular talent in doing so, but sadly, her scribing of Harper Songs is barely up to par.
History:
Kiora's history: A Narative: "Well I grew up in a small cothold called Grena. I had a relatively normal childhood, but there was this one Herder who always watched me as I played, watched me with a hungry look in his eyes...an-and when I was 9...," she pauses, unable to continue, then sighs" he caught me and he..he forced himself upon me..," she paused again, her throat constricted"..af-after that I staved off all men. I couldn't bear to tell my parents, so I told our Hold's Harper. I trusted her more than anyone. She thought of a way to get me away from that repulsive male. She told my parents that I could be a fair harper with training, so they fostered me out to the Harper Workshop. On my first day there I met Hyrusia, who was training to be an apprentice. She was wonderful..." tears fill Kiora's eyes as she thinks of Hyrusia." I loved her.And I still miss her terribly, even after three turns." Kiora sighs softly and looks at the table, clasping her hands together tightly, as her tears fall silently.
"Anyway," she continued, her manner and tone changing" Since I went to the Harper Workshop, I trained like a normal Harper, being Apprenticed to Journeyman Naslen, who was a MALE of all things. Shells, I hate males. OH..Where was I...Oh yes...When I was 18, I walked the tables to Journeywoman, and was given Miaka's egg as a gift. After I walked, and about a Turn after I was placed as a Journeywoman, a SearchRider came by the workshop to see if there were any likely Candidates to Impress at the Current Clutch at Lateo Weyr. I happened to be delivering a message to the Drum Heights, when the Large Brown dragon snorted and shot his head forward to block my path. Now, I was curious, for there had been other Searches at the Hall, and I was always ignored, so I stared at the Dragon as he seemed to be conversing with his Rider. The rider frowned and slid off the Brown's back to get a closer look at me. The rider told me to announce myself, so I told him who I was and my rank. He glanced at his dragon, which gave a slight nod, then took me into the head Master harper's office. He talked to the Masterharper in hushed tones, while they both kept glancing at me. Finally, the Master harper nodded to the Rider and asked me if I would like to be a Rider. I gave him a confused look, but grinned and nodded eagerly. The harper sighed and made a comment about losing a great harper, but he told me to pack my things and go with the Brown Rider. I quickly packed and met the Rider in the courtyard, where I was then tossed onto the dragon's back and flown away. We went between and appeared here about a sevenday from the Hatching. I stood at that Hatching as a Candidate, but ended up not Impressing. That first Impression was when I got these..." she points to the two scars on her cheeks,"...during the first Hatching when a Green Hatchling tripped over her own legs and I didn't get out of the way fast enough. The flailing wings slashed my cheeks. I chose to stay in the Weyr, instead of going back to the workshop though, and at the next clutch, I stood and Impressed Blue Aoth. I truly thought I wouldn't Impress, but Aoth looked so small and helpless, I couldn't help but love him on the spot." She smiles and her eyes get a faraway look as she thinks of the Impression.
"Well, since then I've trained as a normal Bluerider would, and discovered the abilities that a blue could do. Once during a practice, though, Aoth swerved too close to a flaming Bronze and got burned on his hind leg. I've learned to guide him better and I've been a LOT more careful since then." She grinned widely as she completed her tale.
Dragon Information
Name: Aoth
Color: Blue
Age: 3 turns
Description: His head is a perfect cerulean, leading into a silvery blue on his neck ridges. His body darkens again to a pure toned blue, with his wings being an Aquamarine color at the base, which turns to a dark blue green on the wingtips. His forelegs are sky blue that fades to a wizened grey blue on the toes, while his hind legs are a deep navy that fades to a dark slate grey on the toes. His hindquarters are dark navy that trails down his tail, of which the tail tip is the darkest shade of blue that it appears black. He is a smaller blue, about the size of an average green, and is very fast and manuverable because of that. On his left hind leg, there is a burn that he got when he flew to close to a flaming dragon and it had never faded, leaving a discolored patch on his hide.
Personality: Aoth is a calm dragon that is hard to get upset. He likes to wallow in the Weyr Lake, as well as getting oiled and bathed, though he tends to roll in the mud afterword, giving his hide a dirty brown-blue coloring. He enjoys Kiora's singings, and sometimes joins in himself, though he has a horrible singing voice. He gets along well with other dragons, though he tends to be overly protective of Kiora, not letting anyone he thinks might harm her come anywhere near her. Besides that, he is matched to Kiora perfectly.
History:
~The Impression~
Kiora crept into the Hatching Grounds, watching the eggs with bated breath. She just knew she wouldn't Impress. She turned to go back through the door, but something held her in place. She watched the eggs as a Green egg wobbled and broke apart, but the Green chose another girl. She continuned to watch as the last egg, a small blue, rocked back and forth, as though the Hatchling was having a hard time getting out of the egg. It gave one last hard rock and hit the ground, the shell shattering on contact. The Blue inside was the smallest Blue Kiora had ever seen, but the confounded expression on his face was so funny that Kiora couldn't help but laugh at him. The Blue turned indignantly to her, his yellow-orange eyes meeting hers. She felt a touch like a rainbow as she heard a mysterious voice in her head. Why are you laughing at me? I am Aoth, and you are mine.
Kiora realized the Blue wanted her. Her. Kiora. She rushed over to the Blue and throws her arms around his neck. "I would love to be yours Aoth." She said to him alone, before standing up and annoucing to the assembled, "He says his name is Aoth!" She then leads the small blue to where the Weyrling master was waiting.
~Weyrling Training~
Kiora was an average Fighter when it came to Training Aoth, but they were the best in the clutch at anything that was sight related, mainly Sweep and Watch riding. The Dragon had very sharp eyes, possably top grade. The sight was a good thing, but Aoth was born with out the innate empathy that allows dragons to chose candidates, so the pair didn't know how to Search. Like all Female riders, Kiora had a hard time with the others. Doublely so because she was a female on a Male Dragon.
~The Wingrider~
Kiora was taken into Sidus Wing after graduation, and has flown with them in the practice drills. Her time in the wing was not particularly meritable, but it is to be noticed that about a half turn after she joined the Wing, Kiora got into the accident which gave Aoth the scars he now has. She was forced though, to stand for the teases and taunts of the other Wingriders, and was an outcast by the other female riders, except perhaps the only Female Brownrider in the Weyr.
