Weyr: New Cove Weyr
Name: Zaira
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Rank: Candidate
Age: 20
Appearence: Zaira's height is above average for a woman at 5'7. While her frame is slender, she has the prominent curves of a woman, a fact she is very proud of and uses to her advantage over many a starry-eyed male. Zaira has wide hazel eyes, a golden brown around the pupil which fade into a jade green closer to the iris, with long dark sooty lashes that can give out a smoldering look or a bright, innocent gaze depending on the situation and the man.
Her skin is very pale and burns easily, with a smattering of freckles over nose and cheek. Her hair is straight and a deep auburn hanging halfway down her back, but she almost always wears it in plaits or braids, adorning it with coloured ribbons. Her face is long and oval shaped with a strong jaw and a pointy chin. Zaira's nose is distinctly crooked, recently acquired due to an altercation between herself and another woman, which became a little more than an exchanging of heated words.
Zaira knows what looks good on her and dresses to emphasise the bits she wants to bring attention to and to hide away that which she would rather not have on show. Generally she wears close form dresses and tunics, favouring more earthy tones. She refuses to wear pinks and purples as they clash terribly with her auburn hair.
Personality: Zaira is a very confident young woman, who is not afraid to voice her feelings and offer an opinion, often when neither have been asked for. She may come across as domineering due to her stubbornness, temper and sharp tongue, but it can also be part of her charm. Zaira's confidence extends to her appearance. She knows men find her attractive and revels in the knowledge, but often takes things too far landing herself into trouble.
She can come across as intimidating, particularly to the more retiring girls she encounters at the Harper Hall, but for those not frighetened away by her sometimes overbearingness, they find a staunch ally in her. She will readily stand up and defend those who she believes have been wronged, and is not afraid of confrontation in the least, glad to prove herself and her opinions correct given the chance.
Zaira does not believe in long term relationships, both her parents had many partners and this seemed the norm to her until she was sent to the Harper Hall and came across some Hold bred girls who were shocked at Zaira's promiscuous habits, and avoided her as if she were a tunnel snake. For this reason she has few friends amongst the Harper Hall, although she is very protective of the ones she has.
History: Zaira was the daughter of a union between blue rider Z'rin and a Zyjax Hold seamstress, Ariya. Although the relationship between the two only lasted a few short weeks after the birth of their daughter, the parents both got along quite well. While Zaira was brought up by her mother and lived with Ariya's ever increasing brood of children (almost all had different fathers) Zaira also saw a lot of her father, who doted on his only daughter. It was from her father that Zaira's love for music and the stories of Pern stemmed and at the age of 12 Turns the obvious choice was made and she was apprenticed to the Harper Hall.
While Zaira enjoyed the training at the Hall, once the initial excitement of moving had worn off, life became a monotonous routine of exercises and chores. During this time Zaira changed from gangly child into a woman, and began noticing the attention directed her way. While at first she was awkward around males her confidence grew with her experience and by the time she was 18 Turns Zaira knew how make the most of her appeal.
However her escapades got her into various predicaments despite her discretion, including a fight with another Harper, Doyna. It was just after Zaira walked the tables and became a journeywoman, when she spent a night with brown rider X'tren. Doyna had been pining after the rider and accused Zaira of stealing the man away from her. Zaira retaliated with a sarcastic comment and Donya took offence, breaking the taller girls nose, which sparked Zaira's temper. Both girls ended up in the infirmary covered in bruises and bleeding and when the Hall Master was informed of the incident he was not amused. This was not the first time he had heard complaint of Zaira, and he had already issued her a warning to be careful of her behaviour. As a result he sent her on an assignment to Nusa Hold, no Harper would agree to go there willingly.
Her time under Vesuvian has not been particularly enjoyable. While she goes about the task of giving the children their lessons and teaching those who wish to learn instruments comptenetly enough the Lord Holder pays her little respect or interest, even at her most fliratatious. Her only real friend at the Hold is the drudge Valeena, they befriended after the drudge warned Zaira to stay away from Vesuvian as Valeena had her own designs upon him. Zaira was impressed by the woman's ambition and intelligence, such a nice change from the wherry-headed females that seemed to have flocked to Nusa.
Unfortunately for Zaira the majority of the men at the Hold are either old or in relationships, and while that usually does not bother her she has her crooked nose as a reminder and warning of what happened when she tried such a stunt before.
Father:Z'rin
Mother: Ariya
Siblings: Zaira has many brothers and sisters scattered around Pern, including F'ariyan (18 Turns) rider of bronze Laronith at New Cove Weyr (ONPC)
Pets: None
Color Preference & Why: A violet or green perhaps, or maybe a bone. I could see her being one of the females riding a male dragon, it's just the type of person she is.
What Colors/Color don't you want and why: Not really any I can think of that she would not suit in one way or another. I'll be happy with whatever comes her way ^^
