Pets:
She has a large dog, named Keiko, she got from her Weyrmate 4 years ago. He has a black coat, that's very smooth and has pointy ears and very loyal. He helps keep the kids in line and has learned how to put his food dish in the sink! He stays at their rooms and guards the whole family very well.
Appearance:
Taira has soft, chestnut brown, wavy hair like her mother, Its not very long but not very short, just above chest length which she tends to wear down unless she's in the kitchen working. When working she likes to tie it up with a different colour ribbon depending on what mood she is in. Her eyes are a quiet blue with dark, long lashes. She has slightly red, very feminine cheek bones and a very symmetrical face. Her lips are a medium natural red, with an indent on the top lip. On her neck are three little scars. Three tiny dots in a perfect triangle, a work wound where grease spurted up on her neck leaving then in a perfect triangle. She has light pale skin and is somewhat slender with a few curves around the hips from all the lovely kids (She pretends to laugh about it but secretly hates her hips). She stands around an average 5'7 tall.
Other work wounds she has are little nips around her fingers from the years of trying to perfect chopping with knives and also she has lost the detection of heat in her hands from numerous burns and handling hot food, plates, and bake ware on a daily basis.
She has a lot of calluses on her feet from chasing kids around all day and also some on her hands from working in a kitchen since she was 16 years old.
She's a very simple women in her dressings. She tends to wear a plain coloured dress that has a slight V-necking with some embroidery along the neck line and also some on the ends of her sleeves. She usually wears a white tie around with a couple pockets on the front for kid items or various cooking materials.
She only wears one piece of Jewelery, her wedding band which hangs around her neck on a silver chain. She's very protective of that ring and never takes it off, it's a single silver hoop with a simple blue gem stone, commonly compared to a sapphire. It stays close to her heart but hidden beneath her clothes, much like the pain and cold loneliness she feels associated with the ring and it's memories.
Personality:
She's very down to earth and can be very stressed at times but handles the stress very well. She's very kind and warm and loving and also will help anyone who asks whether it be a neighbour, friend, or one of her children. At home she is very much the caretaker, she cleans and cooks and loves her children unconditionally even though sometimes they are bad, as most children are.
At work, however, she is very hard working and keeps strict to her schedual. Being the head cook of Weyr, she's very good at delegating to others and also doing the work herself and making sure every set of free hands is being used to stick to her schedual. She is somewhat a stickler when it comes to her job and her customers, but only because she has a unique love for cooking. Especially for baking. She tends to take all the baking in to her own hands and is very craftful and artful with her baking. It's almost like she goes into a baking trance. But don't let this fool you, her other culinary skills are very high.
She sees her Weyrmate's death as a tragic loss but maintains herself for her children's sake. She is there for them when they need to remember and also when they need to forget for a little bit. She always puts her children first. She is a very strong woman and is able to handle almost anything that is thrown her way.
She has a very good sense of humour and tends to giggle and smile at almost anything. She tries to see the good in everyone and every situation and keeps her head up. She has a very positive and loving aura around her, and because of her job ... she always smells like cookie dough
History:
She had a rather normal yet unique child hood. She had parents and they lived happily. She was born in Keroon, since father was a Journeyman they moved a lot. She was never in the same place for more than three years. After she was born her mother and father tried countlessly for more children, however they were unsuccessful. After visiting a healer they determined she was infertile. Devastated they went home to their only child.
Growing up as an only child affected Tairalese in the fact that she was lonely. Not having any siblings and almost the constant moving she was never able to hang on to a group of friends for very long, which at first wasn't a big deal but as she got older it got harder and harder to say goodbye.
When she was 16 she went to work in a Kitchen and at first it was just a little job to help out here and there, cook a little, sweep a lot. However one person in particular noticed that little Taira had a big gift. She went back day to day and continued working and the older woman became her mentor for cooking. And eventually Taira had learned almost everything she needed to know about cooking and baking. She loved to bake. She loved the smells, the frosting, decorations, she loved the fact that people would eat the sweet baked goods when they needed to feel better.
One day a year later, with her hair tied up in a red ribbon, indicating that she was stressed and in a hurry, a man with a strong build and sturdy personality about him came into the shop and was wanting something baked. He kept bothering and pushing Taira's time with what he wanted and already being frustrated, she whipped around and was about to yell at him and tell him to shut up and have some patience but when her eyes looked at this kind and gentle face, she lost all words. They fell in love.
After a year of being together they became Weyrmates. And after a tearful goodbye with her parents she moved her and her life over to Weyr. Deldrilar showed her a life of stability, a life she wasn't used to but always longed for. She got a job in the kitchen of Weyr as a cook and over the years she learned more and more and her talent grew and she became the head baker of Weyr. After proving her worth she was considered to be head cook. It wasn't her talent that got her the job, it was her passion and her love for her work.
She has her own Baker's Dozen at home, (which always made her smile on the inside
she has four daughters, and two sons all from the same Weyrmate. Her oldest and her youngest children both had complications with her pregnancy. Taira was always passionate about having a big family. She tried to fill the hole and lonliness of her childhood with her own children and family. She wanted what she never had ... a large and stable family life for her and her children.
The most tragic part of Taira's life was the death of her Weyrmate, Deldrilar. He was lost due to threadfall. It was only 3 months after her youngest daughter's first birthday when he died. She doesn't talk about this event much and tried to say she's fine and keeps her life going as steady as possible for her children. Though the pain and dejection she fears is too much for her to handle, she keeps it close to her so no one else can know. No one has broken that wall down yet and even though she knows she needs it broken down, she feels she's been broken enough and decided to keep building up that wall around her pieced heart.
She now lives with her children and Keiko (who has stepped up around the house keeping the children in line and is just another woman with a spark that has been dampened but hasn't been seen in three months. After his death she decided to stay in Igen with her family working as head cook. She is open to love but afraid of it. Needing time to make her peace with what happened, she still feels that longing for companionship but as for every baker, her half Dozen comes first.
