 Rieta sketch by SmerdleName: Rieta
Age: 17
Gender:Female
Sexual Orientation: Asexual
Craft: Farmercraft
Rank: Jr. Weyrling to Green Awunrayth
History: Perhaps Rieta's love of dirt and the things that grow from it comes from the fact that she was born in High Reaches Weyr, daughter of a young greenrider and her lover at the time, a baker. As riders have their own concerns, Rieta's father, Joesph, is the parent who did most the caring for her. It would be unkind to him to call him a poor parent, but generous to call him a good one. He saw to Rieta's needs well enough, but was far from demonstrative and Rieta never could quite shake the feeling that she was in the way.
Spending as she did, much of her time in the kitchens, Rieta saw a lot of crops coming in, becoming food, and being served at the tables. And, being young, and curious, the question, 'but where do they come from' was one she asked a lot. Certainly there were no fields of grain around the Weyr. This curiosity combined with a desire to be anywhere but locked away in the kitchens, underfoot, lead her to eventually apprentice to the farmercraft at the age of fourteen. She loved it. She loved the feeling of things growing under foot, she loved the smell of the plants, she loved the hard exhausting labor.
And that's where she might have remained, were it not for a clutch of eggs on the sand and a blue dragon riding Search. Sure, Rieta loved farming, but a dragon was a dragon, and like any weyr born kid there was some small quiet part of her that had always wondered, if someday, maybe...
So she's returned home, though not, this time to the kitchen. She'll give it a chance and if it doesn't work out, well, there's always farming.
(Insert impression here)
Appearance: Rieta isn't unattractive. Indeed, she might even be pleasant to look at if she ever bothered to put some effort into presentation. But she doesn't put in effort, indeed she doesn't seem to think of her body as anything other than a tool.
Her blond hair is kept cut very short, just an inch or so of thin fluff from the top of her head. Her fair skin is tanned from exposure to the sun, and often as not, she's burnt red from the exposure. She's shorter than average, and has what might be described as an hourglass figure, if anyone could see it under the loose, serviceable clothes she wears.
Personality: Rieta is friendly and outgoing to the extent of occasionally being obnoxiously loud. She has no patient for the shy and instead of trying to gently coax such people out of their shell she's likely to attempt to drag them out kicking and screaming. This is a girl who believes she knows what's best for everyone and isn't afraid to tell them, at length.
While working, some of her natural gregariousness is subsumed by the fact that she's actually practical and level headed. Indeed, her bossy friendliness grows out of this practicality, as she simply can't sit by and let people do unproductive things with their lives, even if they're perfectly happy with their 'unproductive' activities. In social situations this makes her loud and invasive, in work situations, she's quieter, her attention fully focused on the task at hand. At least until she sees someone who isn't doing their own work the way that she thinks they should.
Underneath Rieta's 'best-buddy' exterior is a lot of insecurity that she keeps to herself. Being ignored is extremely painful for her, so she does her best to make herself both indispensable and utterly impossible to tune out. On those occasions that she does let dismissal get under her skin she gets aggressive and mean. She's not above a fist fight, either.

Green Awunrayth Rietamine, come get Awunrayth, please. We will go find Kalth and His. I miss him now like I have missed you as I waited. Awunrayth is inspired by the song So Small by Carrie Underwood and was colored by Noyama. Where there is love, Awunrayth will be there. Within this green is a guidebook to human and dragon emotion alike. The practice eludes many, but she is skilled in the art of understanding feelings. Hers, yours and those of anyone around us. Most of the time she's sure she knows how someone really feels, and most of the time she's right. Awunrayth is one of the Weyr's idealists; she believes everyone really can get along, and that friendship and love will prevail in getting someone through the roughest of times.
She holds her beliefs close to her heart where they stay, strong and everlasting. But, unlike her dear friend Kalth, she will not preach to or question someone about their behavior. Awunrayth shows by example, and she'll try her very best to be nice to anyone who isn't in the hopes they'll see the light. One of the times she will speak out is when she thinks someone is being over-dramatic. If a problem isn't worth a lot of fuss, why are you making such a big deal about it? Awunrayth will ask, be answered, then hit the speaker in the face with a reality check. Gently and kindly, that is.
Few can help but be inspired by her dedication and refusal to become jaded. Those that inspire her are types brave enough to try and try again. Awunrayth agrees some things are silly and need to be changed, but she also accepts it's impossible to change everything. If the odds are more against than for it, she considers it a waste of time to try. Yet, at the same time, she is starry-eyed in the company of such people who refuse to give up. Deep down, she wants to be that way.
But for now, time is precious to Awunrayth. She can humble the young and old alike simply by being so aware of her own mortality. It's almost, but not quite morbid the way she never forgets her time is limited, and she swears to make every moment precious as can be. She will not rise unless there is a specific male she wants to catch her. In that instance, she will do her best to make sure only he does. But why?! Awunrayth and Rieta may have more differences than similarities, but they are one of those pairs that can use this to their benefit. Rieta has the desire and drive to help the shy, and Awunrayth has the tact and patience to help her do this more effectively. Rieta can be the verbal of the pair, and Awunrayth's thoughtful nature will make it so she can without getting in trouble or causing more harm than good.
She sees Hers wanting people to make something of their life as a good thing, because you only get one and it should count for something. But, again, she feels her new rider is going about it all wrong. It's okay, Rieta, Awunrayth will help you.
On top of everything else, Hers will never be ignored again. Not as long as Awunrayth is with her.
