Green Rider JessmetStatsName: Jessmet Age: 20 Sex: Female Sexual Orientation: Presumed straight Craft: Never formally apprenticed, works in the Lower Caverns and Records room. Rank: Jr. Weyrling Physical Description: Jessmet is slight and slender, standing just about 5'2". Her skin is tanned from nineteen years at Ista. She has light brown hair, habitually worn in a braid hanging to her waist. Her face is heart-shaped, with small regular features and a dusting of freckles across her nose. Green eyes are wide-set under prominent brows. She has a slight cleft in her chin and a small gap between her front teeth-- through which she can whistle. Jessmet's standard expression is neutral: she is good at hiding her thoughts and feelings. However, when speaking of something important or interesting, her hands and face become animated with a repertoire of habitual motions, half-smiles and eyebrow-quirks. Personality: Jessmet is a sensible and no-nonsense kind of girl with a wry sense of humor and moderate intelligence. She works hard and efficiently in the Lower Caverns of the Weyr, although she has no great desire to remain a cook or washerwoman. However, she is hardly ambitious, and somewhat at loose ends. After her mother died, Jessmet briefly entertained the notion of apprenticing herself at the Harper Hall, but realized she lacks the charisma and comfort among crowds required of a performer. Instead she chose to remain in the familiar Weyr in which she had grown up. She enjoys taking time for herself-- to explore the Weyr, the coves and beaches surrounding it, and the Records room. As such, she is not exactly a loner, but prefers to work in the company of a few like-minded people. Originally, the Recorder drafted her because of her neat handwriting and ability to focus on the moldering manuscripts. Instead, Jessmet became fascinated by the history of the Weyrs and of Pern itself. If given a chance, Jessmet will rattle of tidbits of dragonlore to anyone who will listen. The Records room is her sanctuary when the hustle and bustle of the Lower Caverns gets to be too much. History: Jessmet has lived in the Weyr for most of her life. Her mother was a failed candidate who became pregnant by an unknown dragonrider. She died when Jess was approaching puberty. Since then, Jessmet has mostly taken care of herself within the Weyr, learning to cook and be generally useful, particularly to the Weyr's Recorder. Generally she flies under the radar, acquiring no particularly close friends or romantic interests. She has stood upon the sands as a candidate several times, without success. Her mother very much wanted her daughter to Impress and Jess tries very hard not to let it bother her that she has not. Pets: Trundlebug, a brown fire-lizard  Other/Talents: Cooking, cleaning, the very basics of healing. While her formal education was haphazard at best, Jessmet has acquired a lot of random knowledge from her time in the Records room. She has a serviceable light soprano voice, which is largely untrained.

Green AilurathThere is something about Ailurath that makes people want to swoop in and coddle her--her quiet, sweet ways will earn her more than a few fans. Though she loves attention, she will never demand it, and instead sits with big, puppy-dog eyes until someone is drawn in. Physical affection is a very big deal to her, and one will likely see her often nudging and leaning on her rider with fond croons. Should someone snap at her, this little green is likely to flinch and shy away, and will need to be soothed and reassured that everything is all right before she can recover from her hurt feelings. It's not uncommon that she might fall to pieces if someone is angry with her, and can be a little overbearing when it comes to trying to apologize. Even as an adult, Ailurath will likely be viewed as the baby of the Weyr. Though her endearing ways undoubtedly capture the hearts of many, if not all who interact with her, she can sometimes be a little slow. Her rider will need to walk her through new things, and maybe even practice them with her several times before she can fully understand. But even if she doesn't 'get it', she will always try her hardest for Hers, and will often try to encourage them both with cheerful little statements. She is very curious, even as a Hatchling, and won't hesitate to stick her nose where it shouldn't belong--surely no one would mind! She is strikingly fast and nimble, all quick turns and acrobatics in the air. Though a little on the small side, her big heart makes up for all that and more. Competitions worry her, and fighting Thread even more so. What if she doesn't do well enough to make her rider look good? All the encouragement she pours out to others might need to be fed back to her in turn--Ailurath sometimes isn't sure she can handle what is expected of her. Why Me?Ailurath will need someone with a good head on their shoulders and a bit more brains to keep her on the right path. Jessmet will need to learn to be patient and supportive for her. In turn, Ailurath might be able to learn to do more for herself instead of others. This pair will be able to grow and become quite strong, should they allow their bond to flourish.

ImpressionAll the Weyrs of Pern The now-rattling egg on the sands was oblivious to the poor girl who'd suddenly blacked out. All it wanted was out, out, out! A ferocious struggle was taking place inside, and a explosive crack soon filled the sands. The pale green dragonet within spilled onto the sands, snorting with confusion even as she struggled to her feet. The crowd would simultaneously draw breath and let it out in quiet adoration as the tiny creature lifted her head and meeped, wide eyes entirely bewildered as they swept across her surroundings. So many people! So many faces! Why were they all here? Were they there to see her? The fallen girl would catch her gaze for a moment, eyes whirling curiously before her tiny, clumsy legs allowed her to stumble close. She had no issue with leaning on the boy that were trying to help the fallen Elae, whuffling under her breath and nosing at her hand, almost seeming to wilt with unhappiness when she didn't stir. Mine... Mine, why won't she say hello to Ailurath? The plaintive question would ring through, and the puppy-like dragon gave an unhappy snuffle before she searched the grounds for Hers. There she was, and awkwardly, the small green began to awkwardly make her way close. Jessmetmine... Has she not yet hatched? Ailurath queried with a quiet chirp, leaning against the girl's legs with exhaustion. It had been very hard, breaking out of that egg! But she was here now, and now she could rest. Kimie Kitty Everything seemed to be happening at once. More commotion in the stands, from the same harper as before, another egg cracking, and someone fainting, caught just before she hit the sands. Jessmet bit her lip, hoping someone would have the sense to call a healer before long. She'd hardly had the time to wonder who it was who had fallen when the most beautiful green she'd ever laid eyes on was nudging her. A sick sense of jealousy rolled over Jessmet. How dramatic, pass out and Impress! Mine... Mine, why won't she say hello to Ailurath? Jessmet's head jerked up, spotting the little green coming right for her. "What?" she replied rather stupidly. "I don't know." And there was Ailurath leaning against her, Jessmet. Jessmet, mine, has she not yet hatched?Jessmet crouched down to be eye-level with Ailurath, her dragon, her best friend and other half. "She's fainted," she explained absently, not really having any idea what she was saying. No one else on the Sands mattered. Not poor sick Elae or the boy who'd caught her, or Inaari or Talar or any of the candidates she knew. Her mind was filled with the loving thoughts of Ailurath. She stood up straight, no longer bothered by the heat of the sands under her feet or the press of the crowd around her. With a hand on her dragon's shoulder Jessmet lead her new life's partner across the Bowl to the corner where the other hatchlings were being fed gobs of red meat. Food is good, Ailurath stated, stomach rumbling. Now that she had found her rider she had nearly forgotten the drama of the fallen girl on the Sands. All was as it should be. Kimie Kitty Jessmet was oblivious to the drama on the sands: candidates fainting, candidates being mauled, candidates meeting their mates. She did, however, look away from her beautiful dragon when the queen egg finally broke open. The pair peered across the Sands, watching intently. What is happening? Is this important? More important than me?The queen is hatching, love. Important to the Weyr, but don't worry. Even she could not replace you in my heart.
