APPEARANCE: Image:Younger image/Before Timing Event
Haella was almost too skinny growing up, with very little girlish curve, making it almost funny she was never mistaken for a boy. Now though, time has fleshed out her 5’5” frame to that of a bloomed adult and active Dragonrider. Her face hasn’t changed much, only matured, while keeping its pale, oval perfection. Her eyes as darker, having turned a deeper, richer honey hazel with age; her hair has lost its touches of blonde, leaving the Greenrider with a brilliant, vibrate mane of auburn red locks. She has gained a few little scars on her arms and legs, the perils of being an active rider, but nothing that she cares to mention.

Even in spite of growing up, Haella seems to retain an almost innocent beauty about her in features and movement, something that will probably never fade, no matter how old she gets. She still favors light, airy clothing when not in her Rider’s leather; vibrant and light colors to brighten the world around her. She wears very little facial pigments, instead enjoying the natural appearance of her looks rather than coating her features in charcoals and pastes. She does still love a little bit of glint, an affection she shares with most of her Fair of pets, and has started quite a collection of shiny bangles and bobbles she wears often. Bronzes, Silvers, Gems and Golds, she loves them all and seems to have two or three on her at all times.

PERSONALITY FAULTS:
Haella if frighteningly smart, brave child that really never considered being anything other than a Dragonrider. She feels like she has something to prove, wanting to be more than simply her father's daughter. She loves to learn new things but gets bored quickly if she is pushed into putting more than basic interest in something. She is outgoing, friendly, and generally a good girl to be friends with. She feels almost driving needs to be involved in the Weyr and all it’s going on.

PERSONALITY STRENGTHS:
Haella is a social creature, almost painfully so. She hates to feel left out or 'abandoned' from the crowd or flow of the world around her. She sometimes had issues putting her thoughts into words properly and gets embarrassed easily when she does so in front of others. She can be insanely private with her personal thoughts and wishes but loves to know what others are thinking. She doesn't like to be 'different' and really wants to just blend with those around her.

HISTORY:
Haella was born into the warm, loving embrace of her mother’s family within the walls of Lemos Hold. She spent much of her young life having never met her father, knowing only what her mother would tell her in an effort to abate her constant questions. Her mother would read the letters he sent to her for Haella to hear, speaking of Dragons and Weyrlife. But even at her bare turns old, she couldn’t help but wonder why it was the man never so much as asked how his child fared or spoke of her. It wasn’t until her mother’s death was it that her grandfather had explained the truth; her mother had never actually told her father of her birth. Through the tears, she had asked her grandfather why… but the old healer couldn’t tell her why. He simply said they had respected her mother’s wishes, but it still didn’t make sense!

After Jaelta’s death, Haella wrote her father, the first she would have actually sent to the man. Her Grandfather penned one to accompany it, explaining what the child’s letter could not. Neither knew how the man would react, but the response came surprisingly on quick wings of a little brown firelizard. H’rlen was furious with Jaelta, that much was clear, for hiding his child from him for so long; he quickly returned to Lemos to collect her, taking her with him back to the weyr with her grandparents uncomfortable blessings.

Haella quickly fell into the cycle of Weyr Life with a familiarly she had never felt in the ebb and flow of Hold Life. Dragons had always been in her hopes and dreams, the tales and antics relayed through her father’s letters to her mother making her want nothing more than to be part of this amazing world. She spent much of her time in the Crèche when her Father’s duties needed him, getting into trouble here and there – but nothing more than one would expect for a young girl would threw childhood. She made friends quickly, dove into the lessons she was offered, and could often be found helping her Father with bathing or oiling his Brown, Mystorth.

It was a given than that when she reached proper age, Haella was quickly hustled into Candidacy with most of the children born into the Weyr. Unlike those that had to be Searched, it was pretty much a free pass for the weyrborn to stand on the Sands for the chance to join the Ranks of Dragonriders. It quickly became clear rather quickly that the idea of Haella standing on the Sands with her father as an assistant to the Weyrlingmaster was not going to work though. It wasn't that if bothered Haella, but H'rlen simply had issues handling it and the thought of teaching her after her possible Impression.

So when word began to makes its way through the Weyr that Mavros had come requesting any Candidates that might be willing to Stand their Sands for an unexpectedly large clutch from their Gold Zalmaranth, in which two Gold Eggs now rested on Mavros’ sands. Haella was quick to seek H'rlen’s approval, not willing to let the chance slip through her fingers. Even with Mavros’ sketchy reputations, the older Brownrider quickly gave his blessing for both of their sanities, allowing his young child to join the small group that would make the trip to the distant, rogue Weyr in hopes of limiting the loss young dragons when the clutch hatched. Under the care of Rachel and her Blue, Aslith, Haella was off on a grand new adventure!

When the Clutch’s hatching came, it wasn’t a Gold that found Haella, but an excited, zest for life Green that shook Haella’s world into a flurry. With Tsulocanth as her new partner, Haella blew threw her Weyrling lessons to join the ranks of the Mavros Riders. She built strong friendships, even counting some close enough to be ‘family’ so to speak. By the time she was ready to Graduate from Weyrlinghood, she knew she couldn’t leave to return to her father’s Weyr. She loved him, but this was her home. Thankfully, H’rlen understood.
