Falirai (Fay)

User: Kouga

Name Pronounced: fa lee ray
Character type: Dragonrider
Rank: Assistant Weyrlingmaster
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Sexual Preference: Bisexual

Current Location: Arolos Weyr

Appearance: She isn’t the tallest thing ever standing maybe 5’7 in total, but she has put on some weight since moving from the crèche to the laundry rooms being in the area of 130 pounds now. She isn’t the prettiest girl in the Weyr, but she isn’t without her appeal either.

She isn’t a very muscular girl, but with first heaving around laundry and now her new workload as a Weyrling she does have her share. She has a rather feminine figure over all though despite her growing muscles with a slimmer waist then hips and shoulders. Her chest, however, is one thing that never seemed to ‘properly’ develop though she is finding that more helpful as she works to get into any sort of shape as what she does have doesn’t get in her way.

Her hair once kept longer now looks to have been hacked off to the tops of her ears, but the black mass still seems to hold a natural shine to it. Her eyes are, at first glance, as dark a black as the hair on her head in truth though they are just a dark brown it is just hard to tell even in the best light. Her lips are not as overly thin as some, but they aren’t large either more somewhere in between. She has a rather wide nostriled nose it is actually the one thing about her face she is a bit touchy about, but it does take the comment seeming to be serious for it to truly offend her rather than just a joking thing.

Her skin is on the lighter side, not truly pale but it doesn’t hold much of a natural tan to it. In the summer though when it is a bit warmer it does get a couple shades darker but never very dark.

Personality: Fay has had a lot of growing to do since her impression to her beloved Kazveth and even more since coming to Arolos. While some did not do good with their transfer from Fort to Arolos she was one who it positively affected.

Her crush on her best friend had worried her once, but Arolos has helped her work though her issues with not just liking males. It worried her greatly once and was a source of shame and a reason to agree when she was called a freak for impressing a blue. Mindhealers helped her to be ok with being herself or at least with letting her be ok with liking males and female and with being a bluerider. She will occasionally still have moments of self doubt, in the dark of night after a hard threadfall especially, but they are the kind of doubts that are soothed with Kazveth's version of affection for her.

She is glad that politics are not a thing she even has to pretend to care about any more. The rankers here in her new home are so much better to them than Fort ever was. She doesn’t have to worry that she will be hurt just because she is a girl on a blue or if she happens to find another girl pretty. She doesn’t have to worry that if she says no the other person can just do what they want without consequence. It is a great feeling and has made her in truth less giggly than she used to be.

Her giggly nature was a way to hide before, but she doesn’t need it anymore. She will still easily giggle at silly things, naughty thoughts, or both in the form of her stores, but she doesn’t need to giggle just to make the day better. And write her stores she still does while it may not be as much as she used to with less free time she does still do it when she gets the chance especially since while Kazveth will protest he is secretly amused by them too.

In short she has become a happier person in her new home and has had fun trying to discover herself outside of the constraints of Fort and its politics.

History: She was born on the first day of the sixth month a turn into the new pass, first child to her mother first daughter to her father. She was the result of a lost flight on her father’s behalf and not an all together wanted thing by her mother so she was mainly just kept by her mother for the first couple of months as she couldn’t find a milk mother for her. After she was weaned though she started spending nearly all of her time in the crèche rather then just the better part of it.

It was during this time she met the girl that was to become her best friend a blond hair gray eyed girl by the name of Chasser, who was actually the person she saw the most. Her mother came at night to pick her up if she remembered her which more often then not she didn’t and her father came now and again namely once every month or so for the first bit. By the time she was three though they had both stopped coming by and she was entirely a crèche baby, so she grew up knowing nothing really of her mother and near nothing of her father.

As she grew older and was more able to comprehend things she grew closer to Chasser and as far as she cares the other is actually more of a sister in truth then just her best friend and actually called her as such for several turns in her younger time. While she doesn’t do it as much anymore it is simply for lack of need as she tended to do it when she introduced them because she made it over to a person before Chasser did or something to that effect. As time has gone on though they just spend so much time together it’s hardly ever a matter of beating her ‘sister’ as she is usually right there. If she is caught alone or something though and wants away or needs to meet up with the other it’s not uncommon for her to interchange calling her ‘Sister’ and ‘Best Friend’ as easily as she breathes.

When the time came to leave the Crèche she was glad to be sent after her sister and become a Laundry Worker, until she is old enough to be searched of course. Until that time though she likes her time in the laundry room as it gives her time to work on a…hobby she picked up which still in the crèche, her storing. She doesn’t remember weather she started it or Chasser, but it has become a near constant in her life now writing stories and as they have gotten older they have turned from what they once were to ‘who this rider or that crafter would look cute with’ for the most part. While not entirely odd to it’s self what makes her and Chasser’s odd is that both members of the stories are always male.

With her recent birthing day brining her just one turn away from being a candidate and word of the two gold eggs on the sands at that outcast of a Weyr Arolos she has actually added a new one to her host of stories. The one that includes there being two gold eggs on the sands, one going to her the other to Chasser and after they graduate they both manage to attract their very own bronzeriders with which to make real some of the stories they have been writing these past turns on those hides shoved into everywhere around her clothes press and cot and things.

16.06.01 - She turns 15

17.06.01 - She turns 16

18.06.01 - She turns 17

19.06.01 - She can hardly believe she is actually 18 today.

20.06.01 – She is 19 today

21.06.01 – She turns 20 today

22.05.xx – Managing to actually be off when Alioth’s clutch starts to hatch she decides to take the chance to go to the stands and watch it. Little does she know that it will be what she soon calls her worst decision ever. She is happily enjoying the hatching when there is very suddenly a voice in her head calling to her. It takes several moments and a hatchling trying to climb to her before she someone sends her towards the little blue and her world is suddenly shattered. This isn’t /right/. She was supposed to impress a gold with her best friend Chasser if she ever impressed. She wasn’t a freak, she was a good girl except for her writings who kept her head down and took advantage of having a browner father when she needed to. This was worse than a disaster.

22.06.01 – She turns 21 today and she is really very sure it is her worst birthing day yet

22.09.14 - Things go from bad to worse. Not only is she a bluerider, but now there are people dieing. When she and the others get the chance to flee she is all to willing to take Kazveth and flee she doesn't care where they end up!

23.06.01 - She is 22 today and while she didn't think it could happen she is actually rather excited to be a rider.

24.01.21 - She is found around midday by an ex-fort candidate name Dahrent who proceeds to shove six eggs at her claiming he doesn't want them that she can find something to do with them. Unable to protest he is gone before she can do more than make sure she safely has all the pots leaving her with six eggs that she can only hope to find homes for before they all hatch.

24.01.22 - Three of the eggs shoved at her by candidate Dahrent yesterday hatched and while she still isn't sure how she did it she managed to impress all three greens. Three eggs remained unhatched and she can sadly only conclude that they are duds:

It Is For Your Own Good Egg: There is just something about this egg that seems almost well untrustworthy, but it is an odd feeling considering the way this egg looks. Most of this egg is a bright sky blue there are even a few ‘clouds’ scattered on it making it look like it has been pulled from a bright sunny sky. Maybe it is the dragonrider that gives this egg the feeling, or the ‘thread’? Because it does have both. On one ‘side’ the egg looks to be covered in thread, or at least it looks like the bright sky of the egg has thread falling in it and ‘behind’ the thread is what appears to be, quite literally, the tail end of a bronze dragon you seem to be looking at the dragon’s butt and the rider’s back. On the other ‘side’ of the egg is the rest of the bronze and rider, much closer and more easily seen though the details of the face are obscured by his helmet and goggles enough to where you can’t tell who the rider is his knots do seem to mark him as a WeyrSecond. Behind the bronze you can once more see the thread and while the bronze appears to have sacks of firestone they are not opened and for some odd reason it almost looks like the bronzeirder is actually moving away from the thread, but no rider would ever do that. Right? (Loghain Mac Tir)

Shadowed Hatred Egg: There is a deep sort of hatred that comes from this egg. It is a very unsettling sort of feeling that caused Green to early on try to keep it at the edge of her clutch away from its siblings. Despite the distance it was given to its brothers and sisters this egg still seems to hold that hatred, but maybe that’s because by ‘away from the others’ it usually ends up in the back of the clutch and shadowed? It is one of the larger eggs and the surface seems to be a mixture between a bright blue and shiny silver colour that just twines over the entire surface. Or rather it seems like they would be bright and shiny, but even when held in the light of the sun this egg still seems to look like it is somehow in the shadow of something giving what ever patterns that could have been in the colours no chance of being seen. (Carver)

Sweetly Innocent Egg: There is something about this egg that just seems oddly innocent, maybe sweet even. It isn’t anything on the egg more just a sort of feeling that it seems to give you that it is somehow naive. It is an odd thing to feel from and egg and yet it is there all the same. This egg is mostly a white thing aside from two major things maring it. On the ‘front’ of the egg is what looks to be a steel /something/ with a rather odd shape to it. The center is a circle with short round rods coming from the top and bottom, each rod is connected to what looks to be an ‘X’ that has been shaped so that the top and bottom almost resemble crescent moons. It isn’t the ‘steel’ that makes this egg so odd though, no it is that the bottom of the egg seems to be covered in blood, in truth it nearly looks like the egg is sitting in a pool of blood, which makes it very disquieting. (Bethany)

24.06.01 - She is 23 today and while it's been a hard road she's finding her new life at Arolos a good one even if she does still have her moments of doubt.

25.06.01 - She is 24 today

26.06.01 - She is 25 today

27.06.01 - She is 26 today

28.06.01 - She is 27 today

28.06.18 - She had heard about the AWLM that stepped down and didn't think much about it at first. But the more she watched, the more she thought, and the more Kazveth pushed the more she considered. She could do this, should do this even. She had something that could help, or rather several somethings, and she would help others learn from her pain. She volunteers for the open position.

Pet Name: Zevvey (Zev e)

Pet Type: Green Firelizard

Appearance: Egg - Gilded Cage Egg: This egg is an unsettling thing looking to be completely covered by blood as it is. It truly looks like someone just dunked this egg in blood and now the red stuff is rolling down the sides of this egg. The only thing marring the surface of this egg is a pair of blades daggers to be exact, though they have no real distinguishing markings they do have a slightly worn look to them somehow like maybe they belong to someone who doesn’t know how to care for them. It is the feelings of being trapped and lonely that really make this egg though, as if what ever caused all this blood wasn’t something wanted or planned.

Firelizard - Lithe and lethal are the two words that best describe this girl, and her sister. She is a small girl very much on the low end in everything very slim and trim with enough angles to be visible, but not to make her look anything but oddly beautiful. Her hide is actually a nice jungle green over her entire body, but it is marred by several forest green ‘markings’ that oddly enough look like tattoos. She had three that frame either side of her eyes; two that travel the length of her belly branching off at her for legs to circle them and her hind legs ending when they follow from her ‘wrist/ankle’ to her center most finger/toe; and a final one that follows her spine starting from the center of her wings. would actually remind one of a mint ice cream from terra in its colour. (Zevran) Hatched: 08.24.01.22

Personality: She comes from her shell with far from a zest for life, but soon finds her reason for living in her connection to her pet and the others around her. She needs that connection to those in her life yearns for it even, as if it is all that is keeping her from simply going between some days. It is a bit odd to see such a thing from a firelizard, but if humans can be naturally sad people than why can’t a dragonetic?

When not in ‘on of her moods’ this little girl loves to flirt and have fun. And flirt she will with anything that will sit still long enough up to and including other greens or golds, sure she has no real interest in greens or golds in that way, but why can’t she flirt with them? Its fun and she likes it when others flirt with her even if they are males so why can’t she flirt with her fellow females to make them feel as pretty and loved as she does?

She will soon discover that she has an odd knack for killing too. Nothing large by any means, but she is good at finding the fight angles to catch those bugs, fish, and tunnel snakes at so she gets them on the first try.

Second Pet Name: Fenney (fin knee)

Pet Type: Green Firelizard

Appearance: Egg - Willing Cage Egg: This egg is an unsettling thing looking to be completely covered by blood as it is. It truly looks like someone just dunked this egg in blood and now the red stuff is rolling down the sides of this egg. The only thing marring the surface of this egg is a pair of what appear to be well sticks, or what we on terra would know to be staves, and while there is nothing in specific to mark either one they do look somehow worn as if in need of something to seal them maybe. It is the feelings of longing and power that go with this oddly bloody egg that really make it though, as if what ever has led to all this blood was something wanted.

Firelizard - Lithe and lethal are the two words that best describe this girl, and her sister. She is a small girl very much on the low end in everything very slim and trim with enough angles to be visible, but not to make her look anything but oddly beautiful. Her hide is actually a nice jungle green over her entire body, but it is marred by several mint green ‘markings’ that oddly enough look like tattoos. One could try and put a pattern to the spinner’s web like patterning of her hide, but to try and do so would get you no where. The light markings swirl around her in in various places and various ways, the only real visable pattern of any sort are the markings that follow her fingers/toes, and the one that follows up her neck to her snout branching in a perfectly symmetrical pattern that ends with one ‘branch’ on either side of the tip of her snout. (Fenris) Hatched: 08.24.01.22

Personality: This is a girl who seems to come from the shell feeling a need to fight, and not for anything in specific either. She’ll fight for food, for attention, just for her right to live and she does feel that that is something she has to fight for. She is not sure why, but for some reason she just feels that she needs to fight for her very right to even exist this side of between. She isn’t good at trusting either, in truth aside from her pet she really doesn’t anyone or at least not many others and those she does trust it takes times. It is this distrust that really makes her seem the most … grumpy though. She doesn’t trust anyone so she doesn’t know what to do if maybe it’s ok if they around around, so instead she’s just always grumpy and snippy.

Third Pet Name: Wain

Pet Type: Green Firelizard

Appearance: Egg - Dark Dealings Egg: At first glance this looks to be maybe the less disturbing egg of the clutch, but look at it too long and you’ll realize it is just as creepy if for different reasons. It is a rather plain white egg for the most part, but the figures on it don’t need any more with them to make them disturbing. The first appears to be a candidate, or at least a candidate if their hatching robes were bright fresh blood red, but candidate or not the person is wearing a robe. But in their right hand the person is wielding a knife of some sort and while their left arm is by their side there is a growing puddle that by the once more bright red colour appears to be blood and it looks to be dripping from the left arm. Behind the red figure is someone anyone on Pern would know: The Red Star, but there is a vagueness around the hated star that almost looks like the outline of a person. So maybe it is a more literal RedStar? Well what ever exactly is going on on this egg it can’t be right.

Firelizard - There had to be one ‘average’ hatchling in this clutch and this girl just happens to be the one, she is perfectly average in fact. She sits in the middle for her length, her figure is exactly what she needs, but nothing more, and nothing on her is over or under sized. Her hide is rather bland being nothing more than a simple kelly green over her entire body, or rather at first glance it looks to be all, but a close look will show small and odd looking marks on her left foreleg that are a lighter spring green. Despite her small markings though in truth compared to her sisters this is a rather plain and simple girl. (Jowan) Hatched: 08.24.01.22

Personality: This is one girl who will find those firestone chips quickly and take to flaming without any trouble though not to her advantage. She is going to cause any number of problems for her pet when she ends up with flame in her belly that needs out at the worst times. Sure she hears her pet when told not to play, but then she sees the dragons especially Kazveth flaming thread and she just has too. She doesn’t want to be some pathetic little thing, she wants to be strong, powerful, and helpful to her pet.

Information about Falirai (Fay)'s dragon

Dragon Name: Kazveth

Colour: Blue

Age: 6

Wing (Weyrling Group): WeyrlingMasters

Appearance: Kazveth holds a special place in his hearts for all bronzes, the place that is filled with jealousy. His hide is a darker blue that could easily pass for a navy in colour and he is quite pleased with it and how it hides some of the dirt he picks up. While he likes it though it doesn’t /shine/ and he is quite sure it should so he has it oiled as often as he can to make it have a proper shine. He sits rather in the middle for his overall size, but once he fills out he will be on the more muscled side and while it doesn’t overly detract it is there and he doesn’t like out it makes him look. Hatched: 8.22.05.xx

Personality: He is a true blue with a streak of bronze laced right though him. He is stoic and tends to stay relatively calm unless pushed very hard or under far more stress than any proper fort blue would have. He has absolutely no qualm about ignoring his chosen, he picked her after all so she should be grateful for that and just do what he needs her too. He ignores those who criticize him for his female chosen after all why should he have a male when he could have a female rider to make sure he always looks his best? He is not a big fan of her ‘stories’ or so he says. He would much rather if she did work then wrote them and has told her as much, but he will indulge her at times because no matter what he says it really is amusing to think about those stuffy bronzes or rather their chosens flying each other.
