RIDER
Name: S’now (BI: Sounow)
Age: 25 Turns
Gender: Male
Rank: Wingrider of 8th wing, Fort Weyr
Appearance: S'now stands a rather normal 5'2" with maybe just a hint of bowlegged-ness. Mainly from sitting astride his dragon so much. He has light brown hair that is kept shoulder length and neat. His eyes are an expressive light brown and he has an olive complexion. One thing to note, he has a missing middle toe on his right foot from an accident in the weaver's guild; a loom fell on his foot and it was decided the toe needed to be removed. It has not massively affected him in his ability to walk.

Personality:
S'now's biggest strength, and possibly his greatest weakness, is his tendency to be a bleeding heart. The young man is incredibly sympathetic to others and nearly unable to say no to anyone who asks for help. He will give them all the help that he is able, which sometimes can be too much. Deep inside is a generous man. He would be willing to give the shirt on his back, until his dragon reminds him that he still needs it to go through between. Since he couldn't give his shirt he'll try to find something else instead; even if it means he has to buy it with his own marks. Hence, S'now may often be low on available marks. When a task comes to his attention he becomes very focused upon that one task. He is unwilling to be deviated from the job at hand, unless it is extremely important. Being so focused, he is known for being hardworking. A job will get done quickly with him on board. When it can't, like a task that takes days or longer, he may forget to bathe or eat until he is reminded.

Despite living in Fort Hold, then later Fort Weyr he hates the snow. Whenever it snows outside he stays inside as much as possible. With his feelings as such, he is rather annoyed his dragon decided to contract his name to S'now and no amount of arguing has been able to change the blue's mind. In a pique of revenge S'now has nicknamed his dragon 'North. It's usually used when he's annoyed at the blue. Even with his aversion to snow, he is very athletic. He enjoys being outside doing things, mainly from the back of his dragon. His favorite outdoor activities are: patrols, training, and Gather Day competitions. S'now, unlike most bachelors, requires his personal space to be tidy. He will frown if he's invited into an unclean weyr, but won't comment on it. Much to the dismay of men with daughters, S'now acts like a green in heat. He is quite amoral; the bluerider will come in, and impress the local lasses with some fancy flying, then sweep some naive girl off her feet for a good time then leaves her. He may or may not have some unknown children.

S'now is utterly shocked to find himself in the supposed future and may be in a bit of denial.

History:
He was born in a Hold looked after by Fort Weyr. His parents were weavers and his mother baked sweets on the side as time allowed. S'now grew up together with a neighbor child, Sarai. They ran around the hold as kids and as she started baking he enjoyed testing the results of her cooking for her. At thirteen Turns, he apprenticed to become a weaver like his parents. Often he would let Sarai watch while he worked.




- They were Searched together from Southern Boll Hold when he was 15.
- Stood for several Turns without Impressing; severely disappointed when his friend Impressed and he didn’t when he was 18.
- A Turn later at age 19, a boldly marked blue made beeline for him, snapping at other candidates in his way and left a few bites behind
- While he wanted to help his former fellow candidates, Morrynorth demanded he be fed right now. They’d be alright or they’d go home.
