Name: Chybai
Gender: Female
Rank: Candidate
Location: Lake's Edge Hold, a minor hold in Lemos Hold
territory
Age: 18
Birthplace: StarCraft Hall
Physical Description: Although Chybai is slightly
wider and taller than what most males consider
attractive, being around five-foot ten, she possesses
a fair amount of curves and womanly charm- or would,
if she would dress in a more flattering Weyr style.
Entirely and utterly craftbred in her morals, she
scoffs at any female who dresses to flatter herself,
or wears anything other than skirts and dresses, which
she is constantly clothed in. She tans quite easily,
and any amount of time in the sun is accompanied not
only by darkened skin, but also by a smattering of
freckles across the bridge of her nose.
The most attractive part of Chybai is definitely her
face, which is pleasantly shaped and quite easy to
look at. Her eyes, light blue and large, are framed
by long, rather pale eyelashes. There is no
oustanding feature on her face, perhaps one of the
reasons why it is considered to be pleasant. Chybai's
hair, naturally a light brown color, is beginning to
develop dark gold streaks in it from her constant
exposure to the sun at Shadow Ridge Weyr, and is
typically pulled back in a plait to keep it out of her
way. When braided, it reaches just past the middle of
her back.
Clothing/Weapons: Fiercely defending of her Crafthall
ways, Chybai wears the skirts and dresses of any
"decent" woman, despite the fact that it makes chores
around the Weyr much more difficult than it would be
if she was to wear leggings. Despite the Pernese
prejudice towards the color green, she fancies it and
wears it when she can. Her clothing is typically
plain, as she was not raised as a high-ranked child,
but her gather dress is a simple, yet pretty dress of
dark green with a pattern of lighter green leaves
along the hemming. She carries no weapons, and is
quite sure that she will never need to use one.
Personality: Rather quick to become emotional, Chybai
is not one to take teasing lightly or in a joking
manner. She takes everything seriously and personaly,
often thinking that comments are attacks on her
whenever they are merely light-hearted banter.
Because of that, she becomes easily upset at people,
and although few dislike her because of her
sensitivity, many are more than slightly annoyed by
it.
Possibly because of the fact that she easily becomes
upset over small things, Chybai is quick to befriend
people and also to get over an argument that she had
with a person for whatever reason. Although slow to
approach a person to make the first friendly move, if
someone is polite to her, there is little doubt that
she will be friendly and kind in return. After a bad
experience with trusting another person's judgement
about someone who she didn't know too well, she now
tries to make her decisions based on her own
observations rather than the beliefs of others. A
side effect to this is that she is trying to supress
her gossipy nature, and is succeeding fairly well.
With a quick mind, Chybai is easily frustrated over a
problem that she doesn't understand or a theory that
she can't quite grasp, one of the reasons that she was
apprenticed to the knowledge-based StarCraft.
Whenever not focused on a problem, her thoughts tend
to wander off, and she can be found thinking about
anything from the weather patterns to what the cooks
are making for her next meal. Because of her constant
train of thought, she talks quite a bit, sometimes to
the point of annoyance.
She does not like to show any weakness, feeling that
it is simply another reason for someone to "torment"
her, but will admit that life at Shadow Ridge confuses
and bewilders her. With a strong belief against
homosexuality and females who ride male dragons (and
vice versa), she is finding it difficult to fit in
with the more relaxed Weyrbred Candidates. It doesn't
appear as though she'll loosen up anytime soon, and is
not sure if she wants to continue standing or return
to the StarCraft, despite the suitor that is lined up
for her there.
History: Chybai had a fairly normal life, something
that she is pround of. The daughter of a minor
holder's youngest son and a Journeywoman Healer posted
at Lake's Edge, she was always comfortable, but never
exceedingly rich. She was conceived before her
parent's marriage, but not by much, so she was never
considered to be a disgrace to either of her parents
or the Hold (everyone chose to look the other way when
the baby was born eight months after the wedding).
Her bright mind was discovered as she was growing up,
and her grandfater delighted in her quick thoughts,
something that her father was lacking. She was
tutored from an early age, as were all of her siblings
and cousins, but showed a skill in mathematics that
far surpassed any of her family. Because of it, her
grandfater sponosored her apprenticeship in the
StarCraft at the age of thirteen.
At the StarCraft Hall, Chybai was quick to realize
that she was one of the brighter students in the
group, as the StarCraft was not an apprenticeship
option for children who did not have parents who could
afford it. She excelled in her studies, having a few
close female friends and being involved in a wide
circle of acquaintances. Earning her Sr. Apprentice
knots at the age of fifteen was the high point of her
apprenticeship at the hall. Her family had been
attempting to find her a husband, and shortly before
her eighteenth birthingday, they announced that she
was to be wed to the son of another minor holder in
Lemos territory. Chybai, wishing to continue her
studies, was quite relieved whenever she was searched
for Shadow Ridge Weyr by the greenrider Zazperyn.
Her parents, although slightly reluctant at first,
eventually agreed, and she was sent to Shadow Ridge.
Despite the fact that she went, her parents were quite
sure that she would be returning if she did not
Impress, so they did not end the engagement.
Dragonet's Name: Hynth
Age: Newly Hatched
Physical Description: Hynth's egg was the largest on
the sands, and this dragonet has proven to be no
disgrace to that egg when it comes to size. Easily
towering over all of her clutchmates including her
golden sister, Hynth carries herself with a regal
bearing that she thinks befits her color. Shows the
promise of a long and elegant, if large, neck and
build. Her color is almost as remarkable as her size,
a deep orange-gold hue that matches her egg yet again.
Although not particurally shiny or glittery as
Surra's Wynnorth, her color does command some halting
attention.
Personality Description: Still young, Hynth is
fiercely defendant of Chybai and loves her deeply, and
isn't quite sure why her rider is still so amazed at
their bonding. Firm when it comes to what she wants,
she knows how to get it without making too big of a
scene. As with most any gold, she loves being
complimented and being told that she's pretty, which
may develop into overdependance on her rider. Is
having some problems with the fact that not everyone
finds her as beautiful as her rider does, and also
that some people don't seem to like Chybai at all.
Above-average intelligence for a gold, there are still
plenty things that confuse her, and she's eager to
learn about them.
