Rank: Candidate
Physical Description:Melira is tall and thin, with a shorter torso and long legs. Her short sunlightened brown hair falls around her face, framing it. Her hair is thick and appears like it would be difficult to manage, if it were ever allowed to grow out. When she isn't careful about her appearance, her bangs fall into her hazel colored eyes. She is tanned and freckled from spending so much time outdoors. She dresses in loose clothing, not the most flattering, she goes for comfortable. Usually outdoors, she prefers soft, light cloth with the exception of during winter.
Personality: Lazy and ditzy, Melira hates work in every sense of the word. She likes to do nothing more than spend time outside, with her companions or by herself. Not the brightest glow in the basket, she often has trouble when it comes to comprehending someone's meaning, but this doesn't keep her from spreading what she believes said person meant. She loves to talk; and by loves to talk, she loves to hear herself talk. About herself; or about someone else's troubles. She's self-centered and likes the spotlight to be on her at all times.

She loves being around people, but doesn't mind spending time on her own. During these times she daydreams, or puts her vivid imagination to work. She is quite talented at weaving stories together, but rarely does so for others. She often sits under a tree near the Weyr and will dream of how she thinks life in the Weyr should be. She isn't very attentive, and tends to be easily distracted. Any noise during lessons and her focus is immediately on whatever it was that made the noise.

She dawdles, she procrastinates. She's a nosy attention hog.

Melira, despite her flaws, tends to be loyal to those she considers friends. If any one of them is ever in need, she will jump up to assist. Helping friends is one of the few things Melira does not consider work. She sets her lazy behavior aside to pitch in, and will actively defend a friend (at least verbally) if ever needed. She feels if she helps out, she will get the praise she desires. If she doesn't recieve it, she will actively go about telling people what she did, and expect the praise she felt she should have recieved earlier. She is an extrovert, seeking out social situations at all times; and playful to a fault.

Being a story teller causes Melira to be a bit of a romantic. Rather, a hopeless romantic. She loves it, she thrives on it. She enjoys hearing about it; she pays attention to which dragon flew which, and their riders, if their names are present in conversation. When she puts her mind to it, she can be empathic; though not sympathic. She is more interested in watching stories play out; being a firm believer that all people have a part to play.

History: Melira was born into Monoco Bay Weyr; to green riders. She was raised by her milk mother, Calla, who doted on her continuely. She was convinced at a very early age that she was born to be something special; thus creating her need for the spotlight. As a child, she was in it; at least her milk mother's. She was admired and coddled and constantly reminded that she was going to be something special when she got older.

Firmly believing this was so, Melira became confident. Her studies took a dive; and it went from there. Her study tactics have improved, though they still fall; there's no constant for Melira. Either she's interested in the subject and excells, or she isn't, and does poorly.
Talents:
Telling stories

Notes: Just being lazy and copying and pasting old characters from Sands of Pern. Ignore screwed up profile. I'll edit it when I can.
