Weyr: New Cove Weyr
Name: Liza
Age: 51
Gender: female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Rank: Dragonless
Appearance: Liza is a tall woman, standing about 5’10. She’s slim, but not skinny. More fat on her than N’nika, but it’s due to her upper age. Her eyes are cold and emotionless for the most part, but every now and then a bright blue spark of rage flashes through them. Her face isn’t narrow, but it’s not wide either. Not exactly normal, but very attractive for a woman of her age. Her hair reaches just past her shoulders in voluptuous waves of dark, dark brunette. She has a bit of gray showing through her hair, but not as much as she ought.
Her hands are bony at the joints and stricken with arthritis. She wears a marriage band on her left hand, a memory of what to not get herself into again. Well-formed hands, they are, strong ones too. They often grip things tightly despite the disease within them. Many times they have done more than grip- many times they have struck her least-favorite daughter.
Her feet, much like N’nikas, are large, but not so much as. Her feet are nearly dainty compared to the robust girl, a terran size ten compared to a terran size thirteen (womens) They are high-arched and always well-maintained, beautiful to those who love such things. She likes to wear sandals that wrap around her calves to show off her feet.
Her dress is more feminine than N’nika’s. She often wears shorts or skirts or even the occasional dress. Recently all her clothing has been on the darker side, mourning as she is. She likes to wear jewelry and has each of her ears pierced twice.
Personality: Cold and aloof, she used to be Weyrwoman of a now-disbanded Moon Shore Weyr. However, since her dragon died of the same sickness that struck New Cove, she has begun to get more emotional. Often seen staring at nothing in particular, as if in a daze, she thinks sadly on life. While she won’t actually come out and say it, she hates N’nika. She has only admitted to it once, on the night N’nika ran away to NCW. Her exact words were- “You’re a stupid, fat, unImpressable traitor of a girl that will never live up to anything!”- after Jazmyn had Impressed her Green and N’nika was left Standing. The only dragonet to even show a slight interest in her had been a brown, showing Jannika’s true preference as a bed partner even before she knew it, thus why her mother called her a traitor—a daughter of a Queenrider that likes the ladies, so will never Impress a Gold herself!
But now, without her Gold and with Jazmyn dead in childbirth, Liza has come to unload on N’nika and give her to raise her identical twin nephews- Yaozek (YOW-zeck) and Yimnion (yim-KNEE-yon, pronounce the ‘nion’ like you would in onion.. She can no longer handle raising her grandsons, with her own son still needing raising.
History: Liza was born to D’wite and Joane(deceased), her father a Wingrider, his dragon the ever-faithful Blue Koolanchonth, and her mother the Headwoman of MoonShore. She was the youngest of two, her brother being J’miz , rider of a Brown (both deceased). She was raised with the rest of the Weyrbrats, but was soon picked apart by her father’s own Blue to Stand with a few select girls around the Queen Eggs that the past Golden Queen Yarkth (deceased) had laid. She began to Stand at the extremely young age of ten, Koolanchonth very sure that she would Impress, and HAD Impressed at her second Hatching.
It was a proud day, so bright and wonderful. The Wonderous Queen Yarkth had lain a beautiful Clutch of seventy-eight, so large for a Interval! But no wonder- her Flight had been super long and had ended in the water, where the Gold remained intertwined with her chosen mate for many minutes after they had struck the water. Two Queen eggs, as well!
Liza stood with the small gaggle of girls around the two Queen eggs, just as sure of herself as her parents were. She watched with excited eyes as the other seventy-six eggs Hatched with no duds and only one /betweening/ of a deformed Blue, before turning (with the rest of the crowd), to the double Queen Eggs.
One hatched immediately, Impressing to a girl much older than she. The crowd applauded as Ryn led a regal Gold Huuth off the Sands. The smaller of the eggs began to rock then, but weakly. It finally broke, one piece falling away at a time as a dragonet worked her way out. The small, nearly sickly-looking Queen bumbled out and caught her wing on a shard of egg. She creeled, a sound that hurt the then-sweet Liza. She hurried forward, ignoring the grabbing hands that urged her to stay back and the whispering of the crowd. She bent over the small Queen, easing her wing off the shard and laying it back along her spine. The Gold, her eyes whirling rainbows, looked to Liza, and Impression was made. ~Thank you, MineLiza, that hurt so. My Golden Sister had no such trouble, did she?~ the Gold asked, getting an affirmative from Liza. ~That is good, then. Your Yuunth hungers now, and wishes to be tended to,~ the Queen offered afterwards, her mental voice timid… almost as if she expected refusal.
She got none, and the pair grew together. They were thought of as second-best, and no one really expected the sickly, off-color, nearly patchy-gold Queen to live through her first Flight. And they were almost right… but for all the wrong reasons.
As some things go, Yuunth’s maiden Flight went horribly wrong. First off- it nearing her Golden Sister’s time to Rise as well. Jealousy sprung up within Huuth, and the larger, stronger, if not duller Queen challenged the blooding Yuunth. Huuth did not believe it Yuunth’s right to steal the Weyr’s Bronzes away from her, nor to steal the future title of Weyrqueen. She rose into the air, calling to those faithful to her, and rode out an attack on the Rising Queen, instead of a Flight. Yarkth, the only sane dragon-mind in the Weyr at that moment (as all the Bronzes also believed that Huuth was superior and more likely to out-live Yuunth). Huunth, though, made it to Yuunth before the Wonderous Yarkth could, and a fight broke out.
It was quick, very short-lived, but the outcome no one saw coming. Huunth, heavy with meat and a dull-minded Queen, was much slower than her sickly-looking, smaller, and very sharp-witted Golden Sister. Yuunth had also just bled two young bucks, so had vitality and energy with her. Her hide was glowing feircly as Yarkth pulled the small Queen from the shrieking Huuth, but the damage was done.
Huuth’s hide was ripped asunder, wounds that never healed right. One of her wings was a tattered mess, and an eye had been gouged from her skull. The regal Queen Huuth lay there, panting, without the energy to rise up and go /between/, so could not die a normal dragon’s death. The dragonhealers got to her before she could slip away, and through almost a turn of healing, Huuth was made better again.
Of course, Huuth never Rose afterwards, never Clutched, never even flew. She remained in her ground-level weyr until the end of her days.
Yuunth, having destroyed that which tried to destroy her, sounded a warning to the males of the Weyr before leaping into the sky for a very short Flight. (twelve eggs, but three were Bronzes of a stoic nature)
-timewarp-
Yuunth and Liza once tried to visit Rylin and Syamynth, for Syamynth’s dame was from the same stock as Yarkth… not to mention that by now Jannika had Impressed a Blue (a Blue, of all things!). Yuunth had made it all the way to the Watchtower of NCW before the deadly sickness hit her. It hit her silently enough, she didn’t even know she had been infected, and by the oddest of ways. She had stepped in a half-eaten carcass from another Dragon, carelessly left there. The meat was infected, and while she didn’t eat the thing, the blood did catch against her hide… and got into a small cut there between her claws.
Needless to say, Liza and Jannika had gotten into a low-handed, high-browed fight. Liza exclaiming to the whole Weyr that her daughter was a homo, Jannika and Caffreth both yelling back that it was none of her business. Rylin soon chased the Queenrider out of her Weyr and back to MoonShore, where the sickness spread, but no muties appeared.
-timewarp-
Yuunth died, her days having been long and full of leaking sores. Yorkth was long dead of the same disease, but the valiant Yuunth had out-survived most any other Dragon in the Weyr. When she finally died, the Weyr was declared off-limits to any Dragon or Rider, and those few that managed to escape without being infected were allowed to leave after a lengthy quarantine.
Liza is now on her way to New Cove with now-N’nika’s eight-year-old twin nephews Yaozek and Yimnion. She does not hope to repair her relationship with her daughter, but rather to mooch off of the over-stressed, over-worked Amberrider when in reality, N’nika has too much on her mind to really care.

Extra info: Yarkth’s and Syamynth’s dames were Clutch sisters, so they’re cousins. So, technically, Caffreth/Xyurith and Yuunth were second-cousins once-removed…. Or first-cousins once-removed… (my Theory of Relativity shirt is missing… D=… has a family tree on it). Distantly related, in any shape.
Jazmyn and N’nika are identical twins
