Name: Eliza
Age: 15 25 Would have aged out after the 6th clutch.
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Craft/Rank: Apprentice Beastcraft Healer/ Candidate
History: Her mother is a healer and her father is a Harper. They thought Eliza would turn to one of their professions, but soon realized that she wanted to work with animals. Being their only daughter, Eliza was allowed to follow her dreams. Any chance to be away from her rowdy brothers, all younger, was the best. The hold was busy.
One day, while watching the animals, Eliza saw a dragon fly overhead, going after a meal from the scream that came after. She was about 10 at the time and from then on she had her sights set on the sky. Her six brothers teased her, saying she was too bossy to be a rider, but her parents encouraged her. Even though her brothers are younger, Eliza kept believing them. She tried to show she wasn't bossy like they said, but it was natural for her.
Three years went by, with her sights still strong on being a rider and her education on Beastcraft healing still taking her through the Turns just in case. The rider was a Search Rider, happening to be on the lookout for any candidates in the Atlini Hold, when she was 10. She remembered seeing the them take flight, but was too busy telling her youngest brother what to do. Returning home on that eve, Eliza found that the dragon's rider was waiting to see if she wanted to be a Candidate. With barely contained excitement, Eliza hugged her parents, sneered at the brothers near as she grabbed her prepacked bag and was out the door with the Rider.
Now two Turns have gone by and twice as many hatchings, but she still has hope. With the Weyrwoman out of sorts since the attack on her, Eliza is uncertain if she should still be around, though it seems her Gold has a good hold on things and the Jr. Weyrwomen seem to know what to do. Now with the extra people from the other Weyrs, things seem crowed. She understands that Whers are good to have around, but with the Revolt Eliza isn't sure she trusts them as she used to.


Description: Hazel eyes set in a narrow face, Eliza could be pretty if she would wash up more ofter after working with the healers. Her hair is a light brown and cut just below her shoulders, easier to keep out of her face with it tied back. She is of average height, with a slender build that is filled with muscles.
Personality: Eliza can be a bit bossy when it comes to doing procedures. Things have to be done a certain way and with the extra turns as a Candidate, she knows what needs to be done. If they aren't done the exact way, she gets a glint in her eye and tells the person to do it right this time. Or so she thinks. She has few friends because of this. She rises early to get stuff started that she knows will take a long time. She approves of those who are also striving for perfection, not that they could reach it before her. She takes teasing to heart, which depending on the day can either make her cry or angry.
If asked for help, she will willing help, as long as they ask. Don't expect her to just jump in or ask if someone needs help. She is the typical 'All work and no play make a dull person.'
Eliza is quick to point the finger at someone else if anything goes wrong. Doesn't matter if she was the only one there, someone else was out to get her and messed it up.
