Physical Info
Phsical Description: Andre is a lovely young lady. A mane of dark red-orange hair frames her delicately oval face. Creamy skin bears few scars on her shoulders, but is mostly unmarred. Her fair complexion makes her very very subject to sunburn. Her eyes are an icy shade of blue and the shape of them is slightly almond.Her medium sized nose actually compliments her face, with her high cheekbones and full pink-red lips. Her narrow red-brown eyebrows and full eyelasheds really accent her eyes. Her frame is slender, with small breasts (only 38a) and hips that will never be helpful in childbirth. Andre is usually dressed in orange, it is her favorite color.

Around her neck she wears a necklace of black pearls, a gift from Gassa. Upon her back she has a tattoo of black dragon wings on her shoulder blades and a dragon handprint on the small of her back. On her flat stomach, a tattoo of a black scorpion around her bellybutton can be found. One her toes she wears small gold rings and some on her fingers, along with fingerless gloves the color of burnt sienna. Her ankle boots are soft wher hide dyed orange. Andre's usually outfit is a strapless orange dress, usually low enough to show off her shoulder tattoos. Her puts up her hair from time to time, accenting it with bronze combs

Personality: Andre is in love with WeyrLife. She works hard and complains little out loud. Not to say Andre is a workaholic, but she gets the job done. She's got a great sense of humor and is a little bit of a free thinker. She likes to party, but doesnt have the sexual experience that most girls have. Andre isnt a shy person, in fact she is very blunt. This tends to get her in trouble, because the young woman has a hard time keeping her mouth shut over certain subjects.

She cannot stand close-minded people, ones who think blue riding females and green riding males are bad. A dragon wouldnt pick someone who wasnt worthy of them. Thats just the way it is. When Andre is angry, she'll lock herself up in her room and have a fit. Breaking things, pulling out her hair, screaming and crying. The woman wears her emotions right out there on her selves. Andre loves to read, especially the old hides about the ancient dragonriders of Pern. As the Candidate Master, she takes her job very seriously.

History: Andre was born from two Healers at Lemos Hold. However she is not decended from great master healer, but two very young journeyman who had little business creating a life if their own when they could be saving other. JourneyMan Jazen and JourneyMan Peresa had not planned upon keeping the child, but old Master Healer Gassa, Jazen's superior and mother, insisted that they keep the child. So Alyxandre was born, on the ten month, on the ninth day. It was Gassa who named the child, giving her the name of her former master, a woman who had been long renouned as a powerful healer and had passed on two turns previously. Jazsen, her father, was disgusted by the child, insisting it couldnt be his because of child's hair and eye color. Peresa begged her former lover not to leave her with this burden, but he payed her no heed and trasnfered out to Lemos Hold in a sevendays time.

In turn Peresa had little love for the daughter she had brought into the world, but was outraged by Master Gassa when the older Healer began to tell her how to raise her own child. Peresa's first attempts were to distance the young Andre from her grandmother, but having to attend Journeyman responsibilities and watch over a young child soon proved to be too much. Peresa left Healer Hall, leaving Andre alone and no one is quite sure were the mother has gone. Some say to Lemos, after her lover, but none can really say.

As for Andre, she was raised by a foster mother appointed by Gassa and even the same training as was given to all young children of healer hall. She was taught to read, write and even Gassa herself would teach the young girl how to reconize different types of flora that grew around the Hall.

When Andre reached twelve turns old, she was hand picked by Gassa to become an apprentice healer. Delighted, the young woman through herself into her work and made a great progress over the other apprentices. Gassa was readily impressed, but she was not the only one to show special interest in her grand daughter. When Andre was only fifteen turns old, she was taken to visit Ista Weyr. Her master had business with the resisdent healer and had allowed her apprentice to come along, providing she was not underfoot.

It was at the Weyr that Andre's life changed forever. Upon seeing the girl, the blue dragon Hytath Searched her.

Andre had never dreamed about being a dragonrider and her heart broke to know she would leave her beloved Gassa, the only woman who cared for her, behind. But Gassa would not let her give up this once in a lifetime chance and as she saw her off, gave her a present. A tiny firelizard egg, that she had bought from one of the holders. Andre accepted the gift with saddness, but promised Gassa to return in the case nothing became of her candidacy by the time she was twenty-one. Nearly a sevenday after she was Searched, the egg that Gassa had bestowed upon her hatched. An olive green firelizard wiggled out and the young apprentice turned candidate called her Eepoe.

A sixteen turn old Andre waited at Ista for two clutches, to recieve no dragonet to call her own. But at the age of eighteen she was finally graced with a dragon. Upon the day of the hatching, the bright blue Barylth chose her as a lifemate.

Barylth and Andre fell in love with each other; very little mattered to the pair outside of their bond. But Andre, like most young woman, soon earned for something more.

She met a young bronzerider during a hatching feast later on after her graduation. After a night of dancing, drinking, and carousing; she woke up the next morning to find herself naked and alone in a strange bed. She never saw the bronzerider again, but Andre was smart enough to put two and two together.
