~Harmony~ Physicality
Age: 22 23
Height: 5'5"~
Build: Average proportions, toned
Hair: Strong red, wavy, falls to near her waist
Skin: Pale, heavily freckled
Eyes: Grey-blue
Distinguishing marks: A fresh X-shaped pair of cuts on her left forearm from blooding Harmonsk, currently wrapped under bandages. She has treated the very carefully to make sure they heal as intended.
Detailed description: A mane of wavy red hair is Harmony's most notable feature: it falls nearly to her waist and she takes excellent care of it. Beyond that she's nothing too special to look at: she has a fairly average build though she's toned from hard work, her curves do not often make men's knees weak, she's average height, her grey-blue eyes are not an especially striking shade, and her pale skin is most definitely freckle central. While she might not blind with great beauty, however, she carries herself with great confidence which some find attractive and of itself. She dresses practically for work, but off duty she usually likes to look good and favours short skirts and form-fitting tops.

Character tracks:
Detailed personality: Harmony is confident, sensual and something of a hedonist. She's also proud, somewhat quick tempered and bitchy; she holds grudges, and is capable of being really spiteful to anyone she feels has wronged her. Still bitter about not being chosen by a dragon, riders and indeed the great brutes themselves are not her favourite things ever and she speaks quite scathingly of them in general. What she has to say about the brown rider who dumped her is unprintable, and involves comparing the size of her little finger to certain body parts.
Quite a driven woman, Harmony wants to become successful in her field and being confident she believes that she will be so long as she works hard. As she's also a hedonist she's a 'work hard play hard' type, and always makes the most of her free time; she loves parties, especially if there's an excuse to dress up nicely. She's generally fun to have around at parties and indeed socially in general, being chatty but also happy to listen to what other people have to say. Of course, this 'fun to be with' rather goes out the window if she dislikes you or if she's in a bad mood for some reason.
In a group she likes to lead if she can but is quite capable of following so long as she's treated with respect; if she isn't she'll do all she can to undermine whoever insulted her regardless of the possible consequences of her actions. When it comes to danger, Harmony reacts in one of two ways: if she's angry she'll face it head on, but if she's not angry she'll get scared and do her best to escape the situation as soon as possible.

History
Pre-play: Harmony is Benden Weyr born and bred, and grew up in the crèche with all the other Weyrbrats. She was always a confident girl and had plenty of friends, though not so many as to be one of the highly popular girls. Confident that she would become a rider like her green riding father (who she knew of rather than properly knowing) and as such never bothered to learn a craft. When she was in her twentieth turn she formed a relationship with a brown rider, still convinced that her dragon would come for her at the last moment. It didn't, and incidentally when she aged out the brown rider lost interest in her. Far from impressed and not wanting to just work in the caverns her whole life, Harmony became a wher handler apprentice the day after she turned twenty one. Now part way through her twenty second turn, she is ready to approach a queen and attempt to get herself an egg. At this point in time she has little interest in the politics and accusations flying around her, it's all dragon business after all and therefore utterly boring to her.
Egg Acquisition: Harmony was one of twelve apprentices vying for seven eggs. She was fourth in line to choose and - managing not to insult the queen - she selected a dark egg with a bold stripe. She spent the next sevenday or so studying every inch of her egg from every angle and dreaming about the wher that would be inside, the wher that would lead her to greatness. When the shell finally cracked Harmony quickly blood-bonded to the bold bronze inside, and soon after knew that his name was Harmonsk. ~Harmonsk~ Physicality

Detailed description: A tall slim bronze wher, built for speed and agility.
Mentality
Overview: Fame, Influence, Enlightenment. Call Aid, Posture, Intimidation. Speedy Trickster.
Likes: Attention, power, discovery, black pudding, playing, running
Dislikes: Big bad bright light, being alone, being ignored
Fears: Aloneness
Character tracks:
Detailed personality: Harmonsk wants to be noticed and wants to be liked and or respected; he is a great wher and deserves no less than that! He likes to have a large group of friends who he can call to his aid, or call to just come and play with him. He also rather wants to be Top Wher, but is bright enough to know that this will not happen right away. Instead he does his best to make sure that the people above him in the food chain know and like him, and thus listen to what he has to say.
Fond of discovery Harmonsk is always sticking his nose into something new to find out what it is, and is full of questions for Harmony. Why is they sky blue and the grass green and the sun gold and the trees brown (and also green)? Where's the bronze? Should be bronze somewhere! His curious streak certainly has the potential to get him into trouble, but hopefully nothing his friends and handler can't pull him out of.
In general terms Harmonsk's bark is worse than his bite; he'd rather posture and intimidate than actually get into a physical fight. If it does come to a fight, Harmonsk has the size, speed, and most importantly the cunning to do well. He's cunning in general actually, pretty good at sneaking around his handler to get something he wants: hiding his thoughts from her when it suits him is something he'll learn quite early in life and take full advantage of.
