Physical Description: Owara has dark brown hair with red highlights, but recently it's become streaked with silver. It's long but she keeps it up in a messy bun at the back of her head. Her eyes are pale blue but warm, and she always seems to be smiling. She's a little on the short side but it's never stopped her before. She prefers short sleeve shirts that won't get in her way while she works and skirts with lots of pocket room.
Personality: She is a very maternal kind of woman and has always loved children. She is easy going and relaxed about pretty much everything. It takes a lot to stress her out, and she seems to exude a calm aura that can affect anyone around her. She loves to laugh and smile, and is very trusting of others. Outside of the kitchens, she can be forgetful. It's not terribly uncommon for her to get caught up in following recipes or creating new ones and forget that she's supposed to be somewhere else. Owara has a tendency to be messy and often has flour or some other dust or spill on her clothing or sometimes even in her hair.
History: Owara was born a weyrbrat of High Reaches, but as a young girl she was always getting underfoot in the kitchens. One of the cooks took her under her wing and let her help, teaching her how to cook and bake. When Owara was eight, she went to the Cooking Hall in Southern and became an apprentice in the craft. Six turns later however, she was Searched by a visiting dragonrider and was taken back to High Reaches to become a Candidate. It was there that she met fellow Candidate and her future husband: Olianmul. She was immediately taken by the young man and harbored a crush on him. He Impressed a green when he was 16 and she 15, and while Owara stood for every Hatching she never Impressed a dragon of her own.
At 26, when she aged out, she went back to Southern to learn more about Cookcraft. at 32, when she finally walked the tables to become a journeyman, she was able to get herself assigned to High Reaches Weyr as part of their kitchen staff. Back at her original home, Owara wondered if her friend and crush was still at the Weyr and looked for him every chance she got. It didn't take long for them to find each other again and almost three turns later they were married. Five turns after that, she gave birth to their son, Lial. More recently, L'mul's son from another woman has been brought to the Weyr as a Candidate and she couldn't be happier. She knows Rhey has recently lost his mother and made sure he knows he can come to her with anything and that she would never try to replace his mother in his eyes.
