Location: High Reaches Weyr
Physical Description: Demanthra is about 5'3 and she weighs about 135 lbs. She has blue green eyes that always seems to have a bit of a twinkle to them. Her hair is a dark brown with some sandy brown streaks seen throughout, it goes down to her rear end when it is loose. Normally she has that hair in a braid, to keep it out of her way. Her clothing was either a dress that used to belong to Ashlyn or a dress her parents bought for her themselves.
Personality: Like her sister, Demanthra is a kind-hearted person who hates to see anyone upset or in pain. She likes to make people feel better by writing or singing songs that they can lose themselves in for a little while. Music is something she loves with all of her heart, knowing that it is something that just about everyone enjoys. She pours herself into every song she sings or every instrument she plays. The young woman has learned every possible instrument she could, loving new ways to make music. Unfortunately, she can sometimes get very lost in the music and oblivious to what is going on around her. It doesn't matter if it is creating a new song or actually performing it, she gets immersed in the music. So if someone wants her attention, they are going to have to find some way to catch it or wait til she is done with what she is doing.
Demanthra is a very cheerful woman, always having a bright smile on her lips. She has a warm greeting for anyone she meets, no matter if they are part of the kitchen staff or one of the leaders of the Weyr. She tries to make everyone around her feel welcome, no matter who they are. In her eyes, everyone has their part to play, that is what makes the Weyr so strong. So if every member of the Weyr is encouraged, then surely it will only add to its strength. However, since she is almost always smiling, then the negative emotions get buried. After all, she didn't want others to be sad, so she shouldn't be either. This leads to the negative emotions to begin to build up, until they are released in inappropriate ways or places. It usually takes those who know her to encourage her to get out those emotions, reminding her it is good for her health. Also, she needs reminded that negative emotions are part of life, they are okay to feel and to show.
Besides what craft she went into, Demanthra also has another way that she is different than her elder sister. She is very outgoing and she loves making friends, she is usually surrounded by others. She likes helping others, just like her sister, but is more willing to risk her own safety to do so. Also, she can be a bit of a mother hen in her group of friends, wanting to make sure everyone is alright and taken care of. If she knows someone needs something, she will do all she can to make sure they have it. Of course this means that she puts the needs of others before her own, even if it is the detriment to herself. Sometimes she needs to be reminded to take it easy, that she can help others better if she takes care of herself. Also, she has to be reminded not to let others take advantage, by telling her a sad story.
History: Like Ashlyn, Demanthra is the daughter of two of the riders for the High Reaches Weyr. She knows how lucky she and her siblings are that their parents decided to raise them, including at least one foster kid. Growing up, they were used to one parent taking care of them, whenever the other had to be away. Sometimes there were the occasions when both parents were called to duty, so a member of the family or a friend watched over them. Since she is one of the middle kids, she didn't have as much responsibility, so had more time to go out and have fun. This allowed her more time to learn everything she could about music and try every instrument she came across. It also allowed her to make plenty of friends and become quite a social butterfly.
Also like her eldest sister, she felt a calling to be a rider, wanting to soar above the clouds like her parents did. She longed to have a dragon to call her own, to become part of something much bigger than herself. When she was nine turns old, she watched as her big sister impressed to Gyafrith. She was so excited for her and couldn't wait until she could stand for the first time. Of course she had to wait five more turns before it would finally be her chance to try to impress to a dragon. She stood on the sands, watching as each of the little dragons came out of their eggs. As each hatchling impressed to their rider, she was left one of the few who did not get lucky. She put a smile on her lips and congratulated all the new Weyrlings, however she was hurting inside. Those close to her did everything they could to cheer her up, reminding her that her time to shine would come.
For the next four years, she threw herself into becoming a Harper. She has been learning from some of the best harpers in the Weyr, knowing she wanted to make others happy with music. She practiced her skills every chance she got because she just adored being able to perform in front of others. It might seem strange to others, but she felt a sense of peace when she was singing or playing for others. She also continues to go to every hatching, hoping that one day she would find the one dragon meant for her. Also, the young woman helps a lot at home, now that the twins are busy with their rider duties as well. She knows that her family is counting on her to help anyway she can, so everyone can do what they need to. So she balances between her Harper studies, her candidate training, spending time with her friends, and helping her family.
Other: She actually has a crush on one of her friends.
