Name: Hayara
Age: 20 (Though she claims 19.)
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Craft: Harper Hall
Rank: Apprentice
Physical Description: Hayara is a rather average looking woman. Her hair is your average brown, her eyes are a very uninteresting muddy color and her skin is neither fair nor is it exotically tan. She is of average height and stature and always dresses appropriately for her craft and keeps her hair braided and pulled up. The only thing that makes this young woman stand out is her sharp facial features and that god-awful grin. Hayara’s always smiling like the cat who ate the canary and had the cream, too. Always.
Personality: Hayara is a very confident young woman and, well, why shouldn’t she be? She’s always right. She’s also very good at what she does; after all, if she wasn’t so gifted as a singer, she wouldn’t be working in Harper Hall now, would she? However, it’s not just singing. She knows what’s best for you, your relationships and chances are, she’ll probably tell you what to do with your dragon, too. Being the oldest of seven, it’s something Hayara got used to very young.
Of course, being Marko’s partner-in-crime didn’t ease any of those motherly ‘nag-you-until-you-run-screaming’ instincts, either. Marko, man of the eternal ill-gotten assignments, definitely needs her. It doesn’t hurt that their voices compliment each other, or sometimes Hayara will just sing while the older Harper plays his flute. Her voice is something she’s very proud of and will fight anyone tooth and nail if they dare tell her otherwise.
Aside from that, there isn’t a lot Hayara actually holds that close to her. While incredibly bossy, she doesn’t actually care about much, as long as she’s in charge and still knows better than you. She doesn’t take kindly to slander about herself, though she’s not above passing along a particularly interesting story and writing a little song about people who really step on her nerves is only a pen flick away. Being a Harper is the most important thing to Hayara at this point in her life, though the draw of being a dragon rider is certainly a strong one.
It is Hayara’s personal goal to Impress a harper blue flit someday.
While being a dragon rider is certainly something Hayara would accept with open arms, it’s not something she can particularly work towards. Either she’s chosen by a dragon, or she’s not, and that is that. If she’s not, she still has her voice, and she still has Marko! The sorry man really needs her, in her not-so-humble opinion. Wingman and mother, Hayara would probably feel quite lost without Marko to boss around.
History: Hayara was born to a pair of cot holders. It was not very exciting. But as farmers are apt to do, a great many more children were born. Six more, to be exact, in about the span of ten or so Turns. With her mother busy with the little ones, Hayara was left in charge of the easier house chores and the older of her siblings. Unfortunately, the three closest in age were all boys and Hayara was left to deal with three wild brothers.
While it seemed like a day never went by without her brothers accomplishing some extraordinarily stupid feat, nothing exceedingly wonderful ever happened to Hayara, not until she met a young man clad in Harper blue one day while she and her father journeyed to their local hold to pay tithes and trade their remaining goods for other items they needed. It was love at first sight. Hayara could not stop talking about the boy with bright green eyes and hair so dark you could swear you saw stars.
Hayara never saw the lad again.
It became her goal to become a harper. She was already gifted at singing. When she was fifteen turns old, she set off to Harper Hall with her father, where he left her with a great bear hug and fire lizard egg, which hatched into her little brown Trill.
Since then, Hayara has been working hard to make the rank of Journeyman as quickly as possible, it was only very recently did the notion of riding a dragon enter her mind. Marko had left for Ista Weyr, looking to gather up some of their apprentices and herd them back…except the Journeyman never returned. Hayara, fully irked the man failed in his duties, has set out after him, and met a very grouchy greenrider on her way.
“Marko?” he said. “You’re bringing Marko home? Here, let me give you a ride.”
Clearly, Marko had been striking out with the men.
The ride was very short, but the rider had mentioned something about the little mottled green taking a liking to her. Hayara, and her very high opinion of herself, decided this clearly meant the dragon had just Searched her. After locating Marko, she informed him they’d be staying a little while. Well, at least until the next Hatching.
Pets: Trill
Other/Talents: Wingman and talented singer, of course. Oh, and she knows more than you do.
Will this character be a candidate? Yes, though I intend to keep her around the Weyr as a Harper if she ages out. <3
