[RIDER]Name: Akkaida
Age: 29
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Technically pansexual but mostly disinterested.
Weyr: High Reaches
Rider Rank: Searchrider
Previous Rank/Craft: Minor lord’s daughter
Physical Description: Willowy and pale, Akkaida is on the tall side of average at about 5’7’’ but quite slight in build. Her hair is a very pale platinum and always at least half-up in some form of intricate braid. She has snowy skin and large, steel-blue eyes that do nothing to warm her too-proper demeanor.
Personality: Akkaida learned the art of diplomacy at a fairly young age only as a means of surviving a life doused in political turmoil. Although she has always played the part of a quiet, proper young lady to a T, she uses her ability to become a wallflower as an opportunity to observe every ounce of her surroundings undisturbed. At her core, she truly and honestly believes in the greater good and expects others to conform to that before their own selfish desires. This often leads her to pushing others toward roles that will benefit the many above the few and sometimes causes her to grow suspicious and disinterested in anyone that is clearly incapable of thinking of ought but themselves. She prefers to observe before she speaks and has a knack for seeing through to someone’s true intentions if only because she asks too many questions and never grows discouraged by aggression or a lack of interest.
Positive Trait List Observant, Patient and Level-headed
Negative Trait List Distrusting, Know-it-All, and Nosey
History: Born as the youngest child and only daughter to a minor lord, Akkaida was raised most of her life to be a proper lady. Her father’s every intention was to use her as marriage fodder to raise his own standing though she managed to chase off nearly every suitor that came calling with some help from the youngest of her six brothers. Overcome with grief at the death of her eldest brother and teetering on the edge of bankruptcy due to his own wicked schemes, her father gave her a gift on her eighteenth turn - an arranged marriage to an old, foul lord she had met only once as a child. Her only saving grace was a Searchrider that came calling mere days before she was meant to leave. Knowing that they would never be able to return and face their father, Akkaida announced that she (in the company of her favorite brother) would be leaving to become candidates at High Reaches.
Two years into her candidacy, Siminith was born.
Akkaida had only the riders to thank for the chance to escape her fate as a decrepit old fool’s trophy wife and, with that thought ever present in her mind, she dedicated herself to not only serving to the best of her ability but finding those that would also serve. As Siminith grew, the pair began to study what made the best candidates and what a rider would need to truly devote themselves to a dragon. A sense of pride swelled in the White rider as candidate after candidate impressed, as dragonet after dragonet grew and took flight with those she brought to the Weyr and for a long time there was no concern or worry over what she was doing. She was helping others as she helped the Weyr.
Then the Thread returned.
The first time Akkaida knew true sorrow as a Searchrider was when one of her candidates, some many years a rider in his own right, died in flight. For days she stewed in silence, refusing to eat except at the urging of Siminith when her White felt her grow too weak. It is a constant battle in her own head, knowing that those she draws into the fold could be injured or worse, though the initial shock seems to have resided. She has grown more withdrawn and quiet in the days since the return but would still ride out on Search the moment she was asked. Her own sorrow, after all, is a pale shadow next to duty.
Other: Anything else you want to add?
[DRAGON] Name: Siminith
Age: 9
Color: White
Size: 15’
Physical Description: Elegant and lithe, Siminith’s small stature lends her both speed and precision. What she lacks in stamina and power she makes up for in grace.
Personality: Though small, this elegant white is no pushover. She has a mind for tactics and is fierce and proud where her rider is calm and humble. There is no such thing as fear in her fiery heart and she has never once held back her bark
or bite should someone cross her. She has a reputation for being incredibly hard to please and her favor is not easily won by anyone other than her Akkaida. There is a small soft spot in her heart for the candidates that she finds with her rider while they are out Searching but even among them she is known for being sharp and particularly abrasive.
