Physical Description:
Aniela's tanned skin comes from her home, and from her many days in the sun. Even working as a dressmaker, she spends her time outdoors still. A lovely woman, one might think her better suited in other professions, but she is enamored of her own. An hourglass figure lends itself to draw the eye, though her height makes it more even. She is roughly 5'11" tall, with long legs, a mid-length torso, and long arms, ever graceful with every move she makes. Her hair is sunlightened to a dark blonde from its natural brown,and falls in elegant curls around her shoulders. She never lets it get longer than her shoulders though...too much trouble. Always decked out in simple jewelry, the stones are usually a pretty blue to set off her eyes.
Personality:
Once Aniela has begun a task, it's damn near impossible to take her off of it. She is hands on, preferring to always finish what she starts, both in work, and in her personal life. She can get a bit intense about it. Once a project has been picked up, it does not get put down until it is done to completion, and if she has her way, perfection. She's been like this since she was little, with her Craft only refining that habit. To people. her weyr, and her Craft, she's also wholly devoted. Every part of her, the good and the bad, will always be at the disposal of the people that she cares for. She will sooner wear herself out than say no, and this includes to the people that just want some of her time.
Aniela acts as though she was raised to money. She was not, put in to the creche when she was small, but nonetheless. The woman is the most well mannered person you could ever hope to meet, with a ready smile, and gentle hands. She is well spoken, with her words always crisp concise, and carefully chosen. One could swear that perhaps she was meant to be on the arm of a Lord Holder, but no....she chose where she currently stands. When it comes to men or women alike, she is quick to turn her eye to them. Her pretty words are often used to flirt and tease, asking for attention from anyone kind enough to give it to her. She enjoys soaking up attention, and loves even more to pay it to others, which can mean that she leads people on.
Her head sometimes gets carried away with grandiose intention. She often finds herself in the middle of her thoughts or intentions, the things that will lead her where she wants to go. She loves to drift in and out of her fantasies of designs and things that are and will come. In her creative nature, her things are strewn all over the place, papers, designs, fabric, all of it. She's not too terribly good at keeping things in order at all.
Positive Trait List Diligent, Devoted, Well-mannered
Negative Trait List Flirtatious, Daydreamer, Disorganized
History:
Born a weyrbrat, Aniela may have never known her parents, but she knew High Reaches. The girl was addicted to exploring, running wild with the other children, enjoying the untamed enthusiasm that comes with being a youth born to the creche. It was early on that she took to weavercraft, finding fascination in the way that the colors and fabrics were created, and it wasn't long before an 8 turn old girl began to learn the craft that she felt she was born to. It was a way to distract her from the daily doldrums that being a weyr-born child seemed to have. Her teacher, a wizened old woman, took her in and began her teaching.
Aniela stopped running wild after that, watching the others of her age from afar, and started plying her trade. Weavercraft became her life, learning how to create and design beautiful works of art that women and men alike could wear. Why not make something that people would love? By the time she got called to candidacy at 17, she had become a name that was known to others for the things she could create. After all, Aniela had an eye for fashion, and for how different colors and styles would suit a person. It surprised her to run in to a blue that seemed to believe her ready to be a Candidate, but when the option came, she jumped at it.
It was perhaps because someone she cared deeply for was a candidate. Aniela had feelings for one Dristan, and had been eyeing him since their time together as weyrbrats. Not that she would ever say it aloud, oh no. Not at all. That was too much. She watched, in awe, as many around her found their partners, spending the days she was not doing candidate chores working on her Craft. She was convinced she was not meant for a dragon, that the Blue that had searched her had made a terrible mistake.
She was getting so near aging out, that she had happily thrown herself in to what she believed mattered, so when she did a touching and felt something in a smaller egg connect with her in a way, it surprised her. Ah, but it was just an egg. That meant little. A tiny brown tumbling out of his shell was surely meant for a boy...and that was when a happy purr of a voice entered her head. My Aniela, why are you so shocked? Your Xaphrith was always right here for you, even if you do not think so. Silly girl. The shock of it brought her to her knees, and with her arms around his neck, she took a minute before coming off the sands.
Aniela and Xaphrith proved to be a fierce combination...when Xaphrith wasn't distracted a bit by the other boys in his weyrling classes. It helped for Aniela that her eyes were only on one person. The last two turns, she and Xaphrith have gotten to know each other, and are all grace and beauty in the air....even fighting thread. They're proud, sure, and ready to work for their weyr.

DRAGON
Name:
Xaphrith
Age:
2 turns
Color:
Brown
Size:
32'
Physical Description:
Lithe and small Xaphrith is an elegant brown, or so he likes to remind people. With his lovely mottled hide, his wings take up most of his size, large, for such a small figure. His tail is longer still, with his body lithe and shorter, and a small head. He likes to say that he was made for being admired, but the truth is that he is just a bit of a tinier Brown male, more suited to speed work than anything else.
Personality:
Oh His, now that Xaphrith is here, you have nothing to worry about. Xaphrith is a very protective brown, liking to lift his partner out of any sorrows they might fall in to. While he might not be the most dilligent dragon, he is certainly good for looking after those that can not look after themselves. They'll always be met by a sweet croon, and a gentle nose pressing to them in solidarity. His love is unconditional, and while sure, sometimes he would like other options, he will never push others in to something they do not want. Perhaps some might call it permissive, but Xaphrith just believes it is what others are due, no matter their color.
Xaphrith is also a large fan of the gentlemen. He knows that it is his duty to chase if there is a gold, and so will if His insists, but he is also content to believe that he might one day find a nice Bronze or Blue and settle down. Not that there is anything wrong with ladies, but if he is going to preen and compliment anyone, it's going to be another male dragon. Xaph can be a bit much in the way of his flirting, even going so far as crooning to some of his friends during a Flight or Wingwork. His rider will have to fight to keep his mind on his work, since poor Xaph is oh so distracted by the lovely flashes of other colors in the sky. How on Pern can he be expected to ignore such LOVELY examples of Dragon?
