Model: Nicole C.M.
ID: 2504027
NAME: Talera
RANK: Gold wingrider
AGE: 28 (Born 23 Turns before the beginning of the Pass)
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
DRAGON: Gold Aerroth (Color Code: ffb402)
APPEARANCE: Talera is of average height and build, with little in the way of curves. Her bust is rather small, and her hips are thin, giving the woman a rather squared frame. Talera's shoulders are wide, with long arms attached, while her long legs are well-toned from Turns of stairwells. Her brown hair falls not much farther than her shoulders, and she tends to keep it in a loose knot, rather than flowing freely.
Talera's features are well-defined, if not terribly feminine. Her brows are dark, eyes round, and nose straght, with a sharp chin and high cheekbones.
Usually, she can be found in working attire; wherhide pants that can take as much damage as one could wish to give, button-up blouses that wash easy, and when the need arises, a loose shawl.
PERSONALITY FAULTS: Talera has a tendency to work herself to the bone; she will often go without sleep or meal if she is focused on getting a job done. The woman has a small obsession in keeping her weyr clean, and will stop what she is doing should something be out of place. She has a habit of closing herself off from large crowds, preferring the company of close friends or family. Talera has a competitive streak in her, and if she thinks she can do better than someone else, she will make damned sure to prove it true.
PERSONALITY STRENGTHS: To her superiors, Talera is a steadfast and loyal wingrider. As well, the woman has a great mind for recalling specific dates, times, events, or systems of categorizing. She is proud to claim her gift with children, and has a high record of rearing Impressed weyrbrats. When dealing with those of a lesser rank than she, the queen rider is pleasant and amicable, preferring to keep the peace rather than bend the caverns to authoritative will. Where Aerroth is concerned, Talera is a manipulative lifemate, using the gold's arrogance against her in most debates.
ADDITIONAL PERSONALITY: Talera was born with a quick mind and deft hands. She is a dedicated worker, and though she enjoys children, she firmly believes in fostering over raising one's own brood.
She is of a serious mind, and finds wild exploits of some riders unsettling – though this is not to say that she herself is prudish; working in the caverns during mating flights will rid anyone of such inhibitions. However, she is the type to stay with a single weyrmate, rather than continually change bed partners.
The young woman abhors anything that dampens one's perceptions and inhibitions. As such, she has a severe disdain for all sorts of liquor and recreational uses of fellis.
Usually of a sound temperament, Talera is hard to anger. However, when frustrated, the queen rider can be testy, with biting remarks.
When in the company of those she enjoys, Talera is joking, and can be a heavy flirt - to the potential discomfort of whoever catches her eye.
FAMILY: Father, T'lan
Mother, Vemorra
HISTORY: Talera was born the only child of the brown rider T'lan and the cavern worker Vemorra, within Ista Weyr. Growing up, she spent much of her youth in the lower caverns, under various foster mothers, and out of both parents' sight. When she reached fourteen, rather than being shipped to the barracks like many of the boys had been, Talera remained in the caverns, fostering youths on her own.
Multiple clutches came and went, and Talera remained a mother to suckling babes and mischievous youths. When her eldest fosterling Impressed at the last clutch, Talera saw it as a wake-up call of sorts, and left the caverns for the barracks.
The way she saw it, what was the worst that could happen?
She Impressed Aerroth.
However, there were more than enough golds within the Weyr, and as the rider with the least experience, she was offered a transferring position at Mavros the moment Aerroth was fully mature.
IN THE EVENT OF YOUR SUDDEN, UNEXPLAINED DISAPPEARANCE FROM THE SITE AT ANY POINT IN TIME, WHAT DO YOU WISH TO BECOME OF THIS CHARACTER AND ANY CREATURES THEY MAY IMPRESS?
