Name: R'mo (Rialkalmo)
Age: 34
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Females
Weyr: Western
Rider Rank: Wingrider
Previous Rank/Craft: If applicable.
Physical Description: Short, rounded were it counts aka "pudgy", she has black hair and lightly tanned and rough skin from being near the sea so much of her life. She wears glasses because she can't see close up things, forcing her to squint and look grumpier than normal. She has green eyes. There's a scar on her shoulder from threadfall, from her first encounter against it.
Personality: She's disgruntled/very cranky towards others, except with her lover. She doesn't seem to enjoy much, only due to the fact that she tends to hide any happy or nice feelings. She's very private when it comes to her life and her partnership with Sh'ru. She finds the most joy in riding on Breluth, the feeling of air rushing over her causes a sense of freedom and lightness inside her. She's paranoid that everyone looks down on her due to her childhood as a sea holder drudge and thus will avoid conversations as much as she possibly can. She most often will stay out of the way or at Sh'ru's side.
History: R'mo came from sea hold stock before she was chosen to be a candidate. She was largely ignored throughout her life in her hold, as she was one of the smaller children and was therefore not of much assistance. She went out to help gather greens more often than not because she was faster than the others due to her small stature. As she grew, her long fingers were a great help in tying knots and she was assigned to net repair, but she disliked it greatly. She felt she could have been given a better job, though she never actually complained about it because she knew better than to get attention that way.

R'mo was chosen at the age of fourteen, and willingly left the sea hold she'd grown up in. She spent most of her candidate years watching others get picked on the hatching grounds. In her spare time she likes to make knot art, based off of the knots she learned as a child in the sea hold. She kept up with her net making, not wanting to get out of practice, just in case. Every year that passed, she lost a bit more hope, and became more and more determined to create excellent fishing nets, ones that could be used either as decorations or as actual nets to fish with. Since it was just her creating them, they were always much smaller than the ones that were used by professional fishermen.

R'mo never expected to get chosen at the gatherings, and indeed she never was really. However, on her last chance to be chosen there was an egg off to the side, one much smaller than the others and not moving as much. Her grumpy heart went out to the egg that she felt had been perhaps slighted, and when the crowds were busy cheering on others she raced over to the egg and helped the small dragon struggling inside emerge. Upon looking Breluth in the eyes, she knew true and steadfast love.

Her attitude hasn't gotten her far as a rider, though, and she struggles quite frequently with the others. They tend to look down on her for some of her past choices and her moods, as well as the fact that she'd bonded to a white. It had been awful, knowing that she'd almost caused the death of another rider during training, a maneuver gone wrong. She'd apologized repeatedly for it, but no one really wanted to train or fly thread with her, except Sh'ru, who was her weyrmate. She'd also made some hasty and/or unpleasant remarks to others while talking, her mouth running ahead of her brain, another reason why she avoids conversations. Her heart belongs only to Breluth and, to a lesser degree, Sh'ru.
Other: Sh'ru is my blue rider and I am working on hashing out her history and profile.

DRAGON
Name: Breluth
Age: 4
Color: White
Size: 17'
Physical Description: User Image
Personality: Breluth is pessimistic, always believing that the worst possible thing that could happen during threadfall will. She is always negative about these situations with R'mo, though R'mo usually tends to talk her out of her negative mood before they engage against thread. She is extremely affectionate towards others and is always willing to spend time with R'mo's partner Sh'ru and Sh'ru' dragon Zerizilth. She will look on in amusement at her rider and her rider's partner as they spend time together.

Hey Nash!

You've got a really good start, but I think there are a few holes that need to be filled. Especially as she's got 34 turns of history to cover. gaia_star

First, you mention that others look down upon her due to her past choices. What exactly did she do to cause such disdain? Weyrs are usually very open places, and while they have their share of drama and gossip, Western Weyr has always been a fairly chill environment. Is it because shes a whiterider? Is it something else? Is she just paranoid and thinks that other are looking down at her and nobody actually is? If it has to do with her childhood, then what happened in her childhood to make her this way?

Additionally, where did she meet Sh'ru? If she's got such a bond and relationship with her, when did they meet? Are they lweyrmates? You don't have to go into a ton of detail, especially if it's not RPed yet, but if she's such an imperative part of her life, then she should have a little something in her history. gaia_star

As a child, when was she Searched, at what age? Did she go willingly or did she have to think about it? Candidate life would force her to interact with a large group of individuals, and as she aged, there would be no getting around having to work with others. Also, having spent so many Turns as a Candidate, what were her plans if she did not Impress? Does she have any hobbies or did she pick up a craft between her Candidate lessons and chores? Given that she was so lose to aging out, she probably would have wanted a backup plan to earn marks and some sort of living that wasn't dragonriding.

Last but not least, Thread has been falling for not quite a Turn. This is such an important date in everybody's history. How did she feel when it fell again? How does she feel about fighting Thread with Breluth? Has she been scored yet or is she counting her lucky stars? Did she lose any friends or family during those first Falls?

I think just wrapping up or going into a little detail about those things would round out her 34 Turns of history. gaia_star And then she should be good to go!

Looks good to go.

Western is usually pretty pro-White rider and non-traditional, but like all places, I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule and it sounds like your girl found some of them.
