Rown
Rider Name: Eralie (formerly E'lie )
Rider Gender: Female
Rider Age: 35
Rider Sexuality: Homosexual, though she keeps her preferences to herself
Rider History: Born to the Weyr and raised in the Weyr, the young woman known as Eralie took the halls and tunnels of High Reaches like a fish would take to water. Rambunctious, playful, even a bit snarky at times, she was a wher with two legs that left a trail of trouble in her wake at every turn. Chastised constantly by whomever could get their hands on her, she straightened up a bit in her early teen turns though that spirited streak never quite left her personality. Eventually she was cornered and given two options, either learn a craft useful in the Weyr or be shipped off somewhere to learn it there, Eralie buckled down and threw her lot in with the Weyr Healers. She wasn't very good, barely handling the day to day basics, but eventually she found a knack for treating children rather than adults, as children were far more honest in their aches and pains then a grown dragonrider.
Turns passed and Eralie grew a bit more relaxed in her "makeshift craft", though her life was turned upside down the day she stood on the sands and Impressed to a mewling and hissing spitfire green that called herself Resupeth. Together they carved a line of both amusement and terror amongst their fellow Weyrlings, Eralie (calling herself E'lie) always off on some adventure in her mind and Resupeth following behind and leaving devastation in her wake. The two weren't meant for glory, much less much of a wing, though somehow they made it together and joined the ranks of their comrades and clutchmates. Life was good.
Until the accident.
It had seemed like a normal Wing drill, one that the pair had done plenty of times, though there was a slight change as there was a strong wind that changed the direction of flame and made jumps from between a bit harder to predict in terms of location. Resupeth and E'lie were doing fine, if not being a bit more cautious, though a poorly placed flame from one of her Wingmates lead the dragon to jump between in an effort to get away. The jump out faired no better for the rider and dragon, as they got in the way of another blast of flame. Managing to dodge just in time they instead spun into the path of a fellow Wingmate, leaving the dragons to collide and for Resupeth's wings to get horribly torn by dragon claws in the process.
Resupeth couldn't dodge in time during the training, and E'lie couldn't calm her down from the pain that seared every ounce of her dragon's being. Neither could stop their fast decent, even with the help of the rest of their Wing, and no one could stop the green from shrieking between with pain after they made heavy contact with the ground. E'lie had been thrown off with the impact, her arm and leg broken; Resupeth had damaged her wings far beyond repair and control. When Resupeth didn't come back and E'lie's happy personality vanished without a trace, the young woman would never be the same. She had been only 23 turns at the time, having had her lifemate for more than six.
At first extreme sadness weighed on E'lie, who went on to call herself Eralie once more, however a gradual change came over her as time passed and more dragonets came to the sands. Eralie had always been good with children and remained that way, even without her beloved Resupeth at her side, and so she sought out a way to help the Weyrlings advance and perhaps avoid the same fate that she had.
Dragon Name: Resupeth
Dragon Color: Green
Applying for: Weyrlingmaster
Why would they be a good fit? E'lie, now known again as Eralie, knows the pain of loss more than anyone and therefore values the life of dragonets and their rides much greater than anyone could have hoped. Having been left behind by what she considers her "greater half" in all aspects of the word, knows that it will take a strong rider to ensure that a dragon can grow to the best of its abilities alongside its lifemate.
That being said she has little time or patience for people who would not take themselves, their dragons, or their lessons seriously. While not overly harsh she's occasionally quick on the rod, following the old saying of 'spare the rod, spoil the child', though deep down she really does seem to care for all the students as though each dragonet and rider were mirrors of herself. She is very fond of children however, young adults included, so most of the time she gives in to their whims and enjoys seeing the youth of the Weyr happy rather than upset with her.
Anything else? I would like to apply for the "lost their dragon" position, obviously

I'm a bit hesitant to think there's a Wingleader that could be this reckless with their wing, but I guess it's possible and if it did happen anywhere, it would be High Reaches. XD
Accepted.
