I hope you guys don't mind if I just reuse names here!
Name: Jeyna
Gender: Female
Age: 29
Orientation: Bisexual, but just barely. Will occasionally (ie RARELY) consider being with a guy for a night or two. Definitely prefers women.
Rank: Searchrider/Wingrider
Family:
Father: J'nson of Brown Lyneth--Benden(60)
Mother: Kayma--A drudge in Benden who later did win the heart of another rider who was transferred to Telgar and took her with him.(50)
Known Siblings:
Jankan (37) Brown Rider at Ista (half by father)
Lynsa (32) Drudge (half by father)
Kaitla (25) (half by mother)
Her father tended to prefer men, so there were not many children by him. Except for her mother, most were the result of green flight. However, her mother might have had several more children of which Jeyna is not aware.
Pets: None, currently
Appearance:
Being exposed to as much sun as Jeyna is as a Rider and an active woman in general, might have aged her prematurely. However, her constant physical activity has kept her extremely fit, and many believe that she is younger than she really is. Because her skin is rather fair naturally, she has prevented sun damage with simple creams and salves, having long ago decided that the pretty tan-skinned she envied others when she was younger was not worth the pain of burning.
Her blonde hair is kept cropped closely. This has less to do with style or any perceived "butchiness" on her part, and much more to do with the fact that long hair could get in her way when either running or flying. The blonde hair is bleached almost platinum from her constant outside activity, though the hair is usually tucked under a helmet when flying.
Her eyes are blue. Her nose slightly is crooked which, with her short hair which is often kept looking as if she just hopped out of bed, gives her a roguish look.
She has attracted more than one woman into her bed through her toned figure and ample breasts. And while she is not classically vain, she is proud of her form which is maintained through running, swimming, and basic lifting.
Personality:
Jeyna is a bit of a free spirit. That's not to say that she can't fall into line when she needs to. She's actually pretty good at that, but she and Ragoth definitely prefer search riding to wing drills. Though both she and Ragoth got a thrill out of fighting Thread that was only tempered by serious injuries or the death of dragon and rider.
She does not feel the need to prove herself the equal of the men, primarily because she believes that if anyone doubts that, then that's their problem not hers. She works out because she enjoys it--and she likes the benefits that being toned and attractive brings her. That's not to say that she's not up to friendly competition, and she and Ragoth enter more than their fair share of Green flights.
However, the term that people probably first associate with Jeyna is "flirt." She was raised in the weyr system. She was not far into puberty when she realized that while a few guys could attract her briefly, it was women who held the power to hold her attention. In the weyr, one did not have to avoid lasting relationships, though they were possible. Rather, she was content to keep her options open--including the option that perhaps she'd settle down, but it would take one special lady for that to happen.
Despite her flirty, open nature, Jeyna is quite a loyal friend. Sometimes too loyal. She'll defend a friend without first discovering the circumstances and can be far too quick to act for her own (and sometimes others'!) good.
History: (4 paragraph minimum)
Jeyna was born to a woman who did not particular want to have a child, but had hoped that a baby would bind her to the Brown Rider who had fathered the child. Unfortunately for Kayma, J'nson was much more interested in the child than the mother. Jeyna was quickly put into the weyr-foster system.
Her childhood was mostly unremarkable. She was raised by a caring foster mother, and her own father was quite doting on her. There were similarities in their personalities that caused her to bond closer to her father than her half-siblings did.
She was a bit of a tomboy from the beginning. She was always climbing things, and never shied away from doing anything that the boys did. Yet on occasion she could be found wearing a dress by choice or playing with jewelry like other girls her age. More than once, she drew confused looks from her male playmates when she'd climb or get into trouble with them wearing a dress. Though they soon that their playmate would sometimes wear a dress while acting just like a boy, especially since she did it so rarely.
She seemed possess of an unfair portion of grace, so that when she fell, she'd manage to catch herself or land in such a way that she would not suffer any real injury. However, during her candidate years, she'd been banned from the kitchens. She could work leather and mend clothes, but give her a knife and set her to cutting vegetables and she became all thumbs. It was amazing that she did not kill herself feeding Ragoth as a weyrling.
She was 16 when her third stand on the Sands presented her with the one thing that Jeyna knew was missing from her life. No one was surprised when a bold made a beeline for the girl who was half watching the eggs half checking out the queen candidates. I may not be a Bronze. But you are mine, Jeyna. And I Ragoth am yours. Feed me now! She had laughed and embraced the little blue creature before leading it to the buckets of food waiting for the newly hatched weyrlings. "Eh, too much responsibility with Bronze. And you match my eyes."
Jeyna and Ragoth made quite a name for themselves through their weyrling years. Their weyrling master was convinced that at least half of his gray hairs had their names written on them. Technically, they never broke any significant rules, but they tested the lines frequently. And often, if they determined a rule was small enough and the benefit great enough, they'd accept their punishment and have their fun. Jeyna was kept in line, primarily, by the realization that they needed to be great to fight thread and that if she pushed things too far, she could risk losing Ragoth.
When the time came to transfer fresh blood into Igen, the pair were tapped almost immediately. Fighting thread, they were beautiful. Holding back to prevent accidents and work as a team with their wing, but their real skill lay in Searching. Ragoth was good with kids, and often put potential candidates to ease, while Jeyna would charm the parents, and more often than not, their finds would either be Searched or much happier in Weyr life than the staid life of the Holds.
However, moving had meant leaving behind the closest thing to a mate she'd had. A Green who did not mind sharing and was not one to limit herself to Jeyna's bed either. The two often found themselves together, and leaving her behind had been more difficult than Jeyna cared to admit. However, adventurecalled, so the choice was made.

Dragon Info:
Name: Ragoth
Age: 13
Color: Blue!
Appearance:
Ragoth is a bit small for a blue, and while that keeps him from competing with his larger brothers in endurance, he makes up for it with grace. He is a beautiful beast, almost perfectly symmetrical. He is lean rather than muscular, and has won more than one flight because he out maneuvered his competition. He has a few scars from Thread that Jeyna insists are distinguishing, though each new one causes him to worry how the Greens see him.
He is a bright blue with a sheen that makes it hard to miss him when he flies, and the words of his Rider at his hatching are one of the things he has never forgotten. Despite the gradations, he is the color of Jeyna's eyes.
Personality:
Ragoth is as big a flirt as Jeyna. He realizes that having picked a woman might limit the Greens who will chose him, but he believes that is the loss of those Greens and their riders. Like Jeyna, he will follow the orders of his wingleader, taking as much wiggle room as he could depending on the situation, but the moment he was released he would be likely to make up for the strict rules in any way possible.
History:
Ragoth does not remember much, as he tends to live in the present. He remembers sensing his as soon as he emerged from the egg, and being momentarily annoyed that she was watching the Queen candidates rather than him! He remembered her laugh as she reassured him that she wanted a Blue and his pride at being told he matched her eyes.
He remembers the first time they betweened and how Jeyna had been so proud of him afterwards.
He remembers fighting thread for the first time, and the first time the thread score was enough to keep him grounded and his rider a wreck for the two-sevendays it took for him to be declared fit to fly and fight again.
He remembers the first time he caught a Green and how they had luxuriated with the dragon and her rider the next day.
He remembers that he ate this morning, that Jeyna gave him a good scrubbing and then went off for a run while he sunned himself. He remembers that he had noticed a lovely Green's whose hide had become brighter recently.
