Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Kalya
Holding: Rias Weyr
Age: 21 turns
Gender: Female
Hair: Long, very curly redish/gold hair that she braids in two braids in the front to keep them out of her eyes. She lets the rest hang down her back.
Eyes: Brilliant green that darkens with her emotions.
Figure: Tall and willowy she seems rather embarrassed about her height and will often stoop about to hide how tall she really is.
Skin Type: Pale in the winter with freckles but will get darker in the summer if she is outside collecting herbs.
Riding gear desc: Her favorite colours are green and blue and her clothes reflect that. Her riding tunic is a sandy brown with blue embroidered patterns and her wher-hide pants are a darker shade of brown with green embroidered cuffs. She wears a pale tan shirt under the tunic as well as under her dress. Her favorite dress she made herself and is a simple anckle-length shift of a forest green colour with a bit of golden embroidery around the edges of the sleaves, collar and hem. She is almost always wearing her dark boots and her sandy darkbrown belt with a leaf design on the buckle.
Personality: Quiet, mild, and rather young, she was training to be a healer until she impressed Tarlith. She has a good memory with herbs and a gut feeling about some healing matters that help her during a crisis. Rather shy at first, when she opens up she can be quite bright and surprisingly happy-go-lucky. She has a fierce determination in the hope that everything will be alright and work itself out in the end.
History: Kalya was born in South Telgar Hold to a respected healer. Her father is somewhere in Telgar Weyr but is usually too busy with threadfall to deal with the many whelps he may have sired. Kalya's older sister, Kalissa, was born of a long romance in Telgar but it soured and they went different directions, her mother returning to South Telgar before Kalissa was born. Karai did return to Telgar Weyr during a mating flight and there met L'yais. Kalya was the result from that brief moment of passion and even though she never saw her father, her mother was proud of the man that sired her younger daughter.
Kalya grew up around healers and so it wasn't too surprising when she picked up that knack. There was always a bit of jelous rivarly between her older sister but she consentrated on her learning. During a large gather she got close to a dragon for the first time. An overzelious weyrling misjudged his jump and ended up with a gash on his dragon's leg. The green needed someone to dress the wound and Kalya was the closest. Her healing of the dragon interested the Weyrs and she was braught to Rias weyr as a healer.
Pets: She two flits, a bronze fire-lizard named Nicker who was named because he loves shiny things and will 'borrow' Kalya's items to lie on and a more mild mannered flit named Roller from his love of arial manuvers.

Nicker is aptly named. He is the slyest thief Kalya has every had to deal with. She loves him dearly but he exasperates her sometimes with his consistant 'nicking' of other's items. She makes it a point to keep her jewlery on a high shelf for him to sleep on but he will sometimes still go out on a roam and 'find' something new. At present he mostly enjoys the colour green, though Kalya believes that is purly coincidential.
Description: Nicker is a golden bronze with lighter paws and pale tan tips on both his nose and tail. There is also a speckled dusting of the lighter tan down his back that is mirrored on his chest. The membranes of his wings are also lighter compaired to his body.


This is Roller, the passive one of the pair. He often spends his time on Kalya's shoulder, wrapped around her neck. He loves music and meatrolls as his favorite. The exact opposite of Nicker, Kalya is convinced they came from different clutches, even if she did get them almost at the same time. Roller got his name from the wonderful air-acrobatics as he seems to love to roll in the warm updrafts.


Kalesk and Kesk, two Watch-weyrs, are under Kalya's care down in the barracks. Kalesk, otherwise known as Podge, has a habit of over eating when he gets a chance and Kesk who she nicknamed Nugget loves to spend his day with his head in the ground.

New addition:

Kalya recieved this egg as a gift from the seahold for helping out with the hunt and patching everyone up. She is tending it carefully and is curious to see the little flit inside.

On the table near her shelves lays a small book that has a few papers peeking out from it. If one was to take a look they would find a few sketches and paintings of Kalya and her weyrmate, Tarlith.

Page 1: Life before the Weyr
Kalya took the heavy bag down to the stables on her way to the outer holds. They had just heard the drum message and it was her turn to help out. Tieing back her braids so that they held the rest of her hair back she almost misstepped down the narrow stairs which slowed her pace for the moment. No use getting hurt herself, she would be no use then...

She had always had a rapport with animals so cajolling the annoyed runnerbeast was a simple series of pats and caresses. She was soon on her way towards the origin of the drumbeats. As she flew overland, her mind raced over the articles in the heavy back strapped across her back. She worred for a moment that she had forgotten the felis before assuring herself that she had stowed it away in one of the many front pouches. It wasn't long before she was racing into the front of the cothold, a shower of grit and dirt flying about her in the beasts hurry to stop.

Mother -
Name: Karai
Age: 37 turns
Hieght: 6'1
Craft: Healer
Rank: Master
Description: Karai is a tall woman with long streight black hair that is often tied in a braid behind her. She dresses in a conservative style with an apron that has many pouches, usually filled with a few first aid items. A large sachel is almost constantly in per posession that is also filled with healers implements.
Personality: Quiet and graceful are two words that perfectly describe her mother. Quite the opposite of L'yais, Karai is a responsible mother of two but has taken care of a few fosterlings. She can be stern when keeping her daughters on task and she is often busy tending to the sick but when she did take care of Kalissa and Kalya she was very loving and warm.

Father -
Name: L'yais
Age: Unknown
Height: 6'5
Craft: Dragonrider
Rank: Bronze Wingrider (Telgar Weyr)
Description: A shock of red curly hair frames an angular face with is often birght with a smile. This merry character loves the wine and the women and his charisma certainly helps him in that field. He often wears his riding gear as the ladies love a man in uniform.
Personality: Loud and boisterous, L'yais is in the middle of the action as much as possible. He is a bit of a showoff but can hold his own when challanged. He respects elder dragonriders but will compete with anyone of his own rank. Not one for responsibility though he never keeps track of how many whelps he may have sired.

Sister -
Name: Kalissa
Age: 23 turns
Hieght: 5'11
Craft: Healer
Rank: Journeywoman
Description: With black hair like her mother, Kalissa resembles Kalya only very slightly. They have two different fathers and their mother is the only thing Kalissa and Kayla will share. Her hazel eyes are usually scornful but she takes her job seriously and like her mother, will carry around a sachel of first aid supplies.
Personality: Kalissa was very indignant about Kalya taking up healing like her mother and herself and tried a few times to pull her younger sister down a few notches. She believes that younger children have no right in showing up their older siblings. The rift between Kalya and her sister is slowly healing now Kalya is a dragonrider but so far they still have to talk.
