Weyr: Talune Weyr
Name: Varess
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Rank: Wingrider-Celestial Promise/Wingrider-Misted Reason
Age: 21 Turns
Appearance: Varess stands at 5'6" and weighs in at 140 pounds. She has a light complexion that darkens from being under Rukbat, though she doesn‘t burn easily. She has light brown hair that has turned a bit darker brown from the sun. Her hair reaches to her shoulder blades in tight curls. She has pale klah brown eyes in a round face with thin eyebrows and thin, wide lips. She is lean and muscled on her upper body and legs from Candidate chores and Lessons, and then Weyrling Training. And now from Drills. She has light freckles on her back and knees. She has a small birthmark on her lower back to the left side.
Varess always wears a simple silver necklace that has her and her life mate’s names engraved on it. She had received it as a gift from her father shortly after she‘d impressed to Jassth. She is mostly seen in a tunic and pants. Varess doesn't usually dress up unless it is for a Gather or Hatching or some other occasion. She has a nice red dress that she keeps at the bottom of her travel trunk and wears that dress for those special occasions.
When she is riding or attending Wing drills she wears a simple dark copper tunic with black or reddish brown trousers. She likes to wear dark colors and will sometimes be seen in lighter colors during the summer months, when it’s really warm. She has a leather jerkin vest that was dyed to a bright red coloring that she wears every now and then. The coloring is very close to her life mate’s color. The vest is done up in wherry feathers to keep the body warm during the winter. She has a leather hide belt she wears all the time. It was a gift from her brother before she left when she had been Searched.
Personality: Passionate, Outgoing, Hyper, and good-natured. Varess is a very passionate young woman. And it is most evident in her cooking. She loves to cook and it shows. She loves dragons and is very happy to have her scarlet life mate, Jassth, and adores her green fire lizard Zelest. She doesn’t have any children, though she would like to have one or possibly two. But she knows the life of a dragon rider isn’t easy. She works hard in her dragon rider duties and as a Senior Apprentice Baker. She didn’t really have any inclination of impressing at all. It was just a bonus for her that she‘d impressed.
She has an abundance of energy she uses when she’s concocting recipes and it is expressed in her voice. She has a habit of speaking a little faster than normal when she’s really excited about something or something that she loves to talk about. Namely her life mate and food. Varess has another side to her that comes out only rarely. She is a complete romantic. She doesn’t let it show because she perceives that to be a side of her only reserved for when she finds a weyrmate. When she gets nervous she’ll bite her nails. She’s never told anyone, but she hates crawling things, tunnelsnakes, spiders. She even hates trundle bugs!
Varess is outgoing and friendly. She loves to talk to people and help them if she can. She sometimes will go out of her way to help someone, even if it’s an inconvenience to herself. Varess does have a temper, but she’s so good-natured that it takes a long while before she does get angry. Her temper is fierce when she does get angry. She’ll swear and spit at anyone she’s angry with, but she’ll hardly do that if she completely loses her temper. Once she loses her temper, she’ll pick up the nearest object and throw it. But once she’s gained control of her temper again, she’ll be the first one to apologize.
History: Varess was born as the middle child of three. She was born at Talune Hold to a Journeyman Harper, Donasess, and a Journeyman Smith, Varsell. She was always on the move almost right after birth. She could not keep still for a full ten minutes. She was running with the group of children pulling pranks or finding some kind of mischief. Though she wasn’t the prank kind of child. She had never pulled a prank on anyone. She was just with them for the laughs. Or the punishment when caught, since she was with them. She loved to go for rides on runners at the age of six turns. Her oldest brother, Vorness, taught her to ride in his spare time. And she loved it every moment of it.
By the time she was twelve turns, she could ride a runner bareback and only the bridle. She would often go off on her own on a runner on rest days. She would head to the nearest beach she knew of and just lay on the beach and watch the waves of the ocean. One rest day, she had just arrived on the beach and was getting ready to lay down and she noticed an odd lump on the sand. She walked over to it and brushed at the sand, trying to level it. She’d just found a fire lizard clutch! She had a sack with her that she had with her in case she found seashells. She quickly filled the sack with the warm beach sand half way and then placed the eggs ever so gently in her sack. Once she had all thirteen eggs in the sack she fill the sack the rest of the way with more beach sand.
She hurried back home to inform her family of her find. Her mother and father picked one out of the clutch and gave it to her for finding the clutch and they handed the small clutch over to the Lord Holder. Varess took her fire lizard egg everywhere she could with her. She didn’t want to leave it alone when it hatched. And when the egg hatched, it hatched with a *pop*. And out fell a darling little green fire lizard. It took her two days to decide on a name. She finally settled on Zelest. She spent her spare time training the little green to be helpful and behaved. She made rapid progress with the little fire lizard.
For a few months after she’d turned 13, Varess gave some thought to what craft she wanted to apprentice too. She didn’t want to stay at home all her life and not do anything useful. Though helping to clean and cook was useful. She settled on the Baker craft and apprenticed to the Senior Journeyman Cook. She studied hard and worked just as hard. Her green fire lizard Zelest was a bit help in sending messages around the Hold and also alerting when a dragon arrived.
She had just barely turned 19 turns when a bluerider arrived on Search for Linnelyth‘s last clutch. Varess ran out with the other Holder children and waited. She was bubbling over with the giggles and happiness when she was Searched. She readily agreed and left with the Searchrider that same day with two other new Candidates. She was completely overwhelmed when she arrived at Talune Weyr. She quickly learned what she needed to know to survive in the Weyr and soon apprenticed to one of the Senior Journeyman cooks at the Weyr. She worked hard and made a few friends.
She wanted to help feed the people of the Weyr. So, she settled right down and helped a few other cooks with meal preparations. And then the day dawned bright and clear when the Eggs hatched. Varess stood with the other Candidates and waited. A bright smile lit her face as the eggs rocked and cracked. One or two of the eggs flung broken shell pieces everywhere. Eggs started to hatch quickly as the Hatching progressed. And then… Varess witnessed the hatching of what she thought to be the most beautiful scarlet dragonet she’d ever seen. The little Scarlet calling herself Jassth looked right at Varess… And impression was made.
Rukbat rose the next day.
And Varess’s aches and pains started. Weyrling Training! And she thought, ‘Oh, joy’. She had a bit of fun in Weyrling Training. She made a few new friends of the other Weyrlings, including a brown Weyrling. She was excited when they learned how to chew firestone and breath fire. Though she wasn’t as excited after their ‘accident’. On the second day of their training with firestone, Jassth had a little ‘hiccup’ of fire from some firestone vapors in her stomach and nearly singed Varess’s hair! Though Varess had kept her cool about it. The accident made Varess and Jassth work even harder in their Training. And then, about five months ago, they graduated with their clutch mates to join the Wings.
Family
Father: Varsell, Journeyman Smith, Talune Hold
Mother: Donasess, Journeyman Harper, Talune Hold
Siblings: Arssell, 21, Journeyman Harper, Nusa Hold; Vorness, 25, Journeyman Smith, Talune Hold
Pet
Name: Zelest
Age: 9 Turns
Physical: Zelest is a mild green all over her body, belly and all. Her wings though are a tad shade lighter. She is average in size for a green fire lizard and quite agile for it. Her wings are the right fit for her and her tail as well. Her body is a bit long, but nothing that would hinder her in any way. Though it does make her able to twist in the air, making her a little more agile.
Personality: Zelest is sweet and cuddly. She is not as flighty as other green fire lizards. She is somewhat curious about things but she loves to be with her pet. Her favorite spot is sitting on his left shoulder, and her tail wrapped around his next loosely. She is friendly and ever bit as loving to younglings. If anyone should harm her pet, her sweet and cuddly and loving nature is gone. And in it’s place is a green terror.
Dragon
Dragon Name: Jassth
Dragon Color: Scarlet/Female
Age: 2 Turns
Personality: Jassth is a very cheerful scarlet. Nothing will get her down, except for Death. If she experiences death, of another dragon, flit, person, or other animal that hers was fond of, she’ll keen of course, but she’ll be sad for the remaining of the day and even into the next day. She is quite playful and loves to have water fights with her rider. She loves fire lizards and has fun with her riders little green fire lizard, Zelest. She has bouts of the shyness from time to time, and not so much as when she was a dragonet. She has days when she just wants to stay on her stone couch in her weyr, and not go out at all. She just doesn’t want to! During the time she’s withdrawn, she’ll talk to her rider only sparingly. Though she’ll communicate with her rider mostly one word sentences.
Appearance: Jassth is a very small scarlet. She has stopped growing at 16 meters from nose to tail. Her wings are large for her but not overly so, and not to be a hindrance. They actually make her incredibly fast and even a bit more maneuverable but not by much. Jassth is a very rich and vibrantly bright red with swirls of lighter redish pink over her hide. The lighter reddish-pink covers her belly, under her tail, her wings, head knobs, and her lower jaw all the way down the front of her neck and meeting with her belly. She is lean with muscles and her back legs are a bit more muscled than her front legs, but that doesn’t mean that her front legs aren’t without the necessary muscled, either.

It's not something that'll kill me to change.
