Wyona at a Glance

Name: Wyona
Age: 56
Sex: Female
Orientation: Heterosexual
Physical Description: Although her hair was once a dark brown, it has since given way to several intruding strands of grey and silver. The rich color that was once present has since vanished, leaving a charcoaled grey with only hints of the previous pigment.

Tropical-based bloodroots have given her skin an olive hue and dark brown eyes to match. With her age come the inevitable wrinkles that line her eyes and mouth when she smiles. Although her strong spirit often makes her seem younger, when responsibility bears down, her age becomes apparent; long years of stress have taken its toll on her.

A few years back, arthritis took hold of her fingers. They’re long and knobby - a trait the rest of her body follows to a degree less severe. True to her age, she dresses to cover almost all of her skin even on the hottest of the Weyr’s days. Most of her clothes are muted tones. Browns, greys, and on occasion creams.
Personality: Persistent, observant, and a motherly would be the best words to describe her.

Wyona is not afraid to smile or tell her viewpoint, but when it comes down to it, she is a softspoken woman who would rather listen to someone else’s ideas before interjecting her own. She has made it a point to be as unbiased as possible and does her best to consider every point of a situation before acting. This does, however, make it hard for her to make quick, judgmental decisions that are sometimes needed in certain situations.

With abounds of patience, Wyona is the perfect person to go to for someone who just needs to talk or feels their viewpoint needs to be heard in high up places. Authority figures and loud-mouthers don’t seem to deter Wyona, and if she thinks there’s something wrong with a situation, she’s not afraid to request something be done about it even if it takes her months to be heard.

She does not, however, go looking for trouble, and is more than happy to follow under a leader that has shown themselves to be both wise and consistent in the worst of situations. It is very, very rare that she would ever disregard an order from a higher order and she is under the impression that a healthy Weyr needs loyal riders just as much as it needs successful, smart, and patient Weyrleaders.

Her patience shows itself best with children. Since she has never had any of her own, she tends to spoil many of the youth of the Weyr. The stories of youth delight her, and when she’s not drowning herself in writing and other responsibilities, she can likely be found with a group of children.

History: In her youth, Wyona never aspired to be much. She was raised with the knowledge that men went to Crafthalls and held positions of power and authority. This never bothered her; she seemed resigned to accept an arranged marriage and never went searching for any sort of love. With one older sister and one younger brother, Wyona always had something to keep her occupied. At fourteen, it was helping her sister’s marriage. At seventeen, it was housing a greenrider who chanced to visit. Wyona remembers the long, quiet discussions between her parents and the young gentleman.

In the end, she went back with him to the Weyr. Her father approved; her mother did not. Rebellion caught up with her quickly at the Weyr. It took her a long time to adapt to the lifestyle. Same-gender relations both shocked and awed her, and for a few short turns, she found herself growing ideas of exploration that would never have passed under her family’s eye. At eighteen, she Impressed and the world of books and analytical thinking opened up to her.

The years to follow formed a much different person than her youth had revealed her to be. She turned into a quiet leader with a calm voice but a stern hand. Her friends were few and close, and it was rare that there were any secrets to discover about her. It was common for she and Hers to mingle with the public and it lead to her to be fairly well known. She took on other’s responsibilities wherever she could, especially if it led to writing.

By her fiftieth turn, however, her overachieving attitude had taken a toll on her body, and it started to become fairly clear that if Thread began to fall, she may not be useful as she once was. She discussed the matter with her Impressed, and Wyona’s solution was to take an interest in dragon healing. It is this sort of ‘retirement’ that has kept her focus in the last turns, and will continue to be her main focus in the future.
Pets: None
Other/Talents: Wyona is very often seen with tea and eats mostly hot soups. She claims it’s good for warming the soul and opening up the heart.

The Desk

Needs serious organizing. Do your snooping later!

A Healing Touch

There are healers all over Ista Weyr, and other places as well, with various specializations. Some Wyona knows personally, and others she does not. One thing they should all have in common is the production of journals - a formalized writing of events and patients come across in the healing profession.

As it has taken up the greater part of her time in the last few turns, Wyona has grown quite a collection of these journals and has made a point to see as many types of healers as she can. Although her interest lies mainly within dragons, she'll attest to the value of all of the disciplines and lends an open ear to those wishing to discuss the matter.

Below are links to other journals whether they be fellow healers or simply information on the subject of healing. Wyona works unofficially from her own weyr (and any infirmary she can borrow for a time) and so some of her own writings are included at the end.
