Name: Zyamel
Age: 17
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Homosexual
Craft: Weyrbrat
Rank: Candidate
Location: High Reaches Weyr
Physical Description: Where her parents are tall, Zyamel inherited some short genes. She's a small girl of just about 5', who is fine boned, and seemingly delicate to those who don't know her. She has stormy grey eyes, copious amounts of thick, long, black hair, and a smile that's almost a promised threat. She takes strongly after her mother in appearance, but (particularly when she's in a bad mood) aspects of her father can be seen and felt in droves. Small boned though she might be, Zyamel is anything but delicate, and uses her small size to her advantage. She's as flexible as she is strong; anyone who thinks she can't take a hit is wrong, and there is very little softness to her physique.
She sports a few piercings, and more than a few tattoos, lots of scars, and despite her feminine appearance, has no trouble hanging out with the boys of the Weyr.
Personality: Zyamel is a firecracker, and a general terror upon the Weyr. She inherited the best -- and worst -- of both of her parents, much to the Weyrs demis. She is a woman who grew up with laughter on her lips, mischief in her eyes, and passion within her soul. Like her mother, she is the sort of woman who knows what she wants, and will stop at nothing to get it. Unlike her mother, Zyamel doesn't have the patience Zheria had been forced to learn; no, this spitfire has a tendency to react first, and think about the consequences later. If someone wants to fight, Zyamel won't hesitate to throw the first punch, too keen on winning to take time to think far ahead; if a project needs to be done, Zyamel will be the first to volunteer, and will figure out how to get it done later. She's the sort of woman who will fly by the seat of her pants, and is only too happy to figure out how to get herself out of trouble while in the thick of it.
On the one hand, this makes her a good weyrbrat. She isn't afraid of standing up for what she thinks is right, and certainly isn't afraid of embracing her duty, and her destiny. Zyamel grew up in High Reaches, and is proud to call the Weyr her home. She has every intention of becoming the rider of a fighting dragon, and wants nothing more than to be up there flaming down the great Enemy. Power? Rank? Honestly, while Zyamel would love to be in charge, simply so things could go her way, she has no dreams of golden hide. Let her mother rule -- Zyamel would rather have the fun job of flying wild in the sky. If she goes down with Thread, then so be it -- it would be a good death.
Unfortunately for Zyamel, she hasn't yet Impressed, and given how much of a handful she can, she might go down by taking up a duel she just can't win, or pissing off the wrong person.
Zyamel is fearless. She isn't afraid of authority, though she respects it in the Weyr. She isn't afraid of people larger than her, of bad odds, and no-win-scenarios. Zyamel is a fighter, and she's going to make the best of any situation. While this is a good quality to have, Zyamel sometimes is too reckless, too much of a risk taker. Her lack of fear can get her in a situation that can get her hurt -- or those she loves. Her heart is in the right place -- defending someones honor, making sure someone takes back slanderous lies against one parent or the other, or insulting her home -- but sometimes she does take on too much, and the results can be disastrous. Her outspoken nature just doesn't let her sit back when she has something to say. She has learned who in the Weyr she can sass, and who she can't; besides which, she does have High Reaches pride in droves. She would never wish to bring shame on her mother, her father, or her Weyr, but sometimes she just can't help but defend what she loves from those who might try to tear them down.
Zyamel is the epitome of a weyrbrat who loves her home. Her family is her lifeblood, followed by her Weyr. From her father, she inherited more than just his eyes, but his sense of duty. Nothing will shut her down faster than a ranking official coming down on her. Usually. We hope. Still, she knows her role, and embraces it whole heartedly. She is keen on becoming a green rider, and taking her place with the other greats. She wants to fight. It might be a rankless death sentence, but it would be an honor if she could serve.

History: Zyamel was Zheria's second child, and only daughter, through the brownrider V'mel. While Zheria was in her life enough that the mother and daughter share a bond, for the most part, Zyamel is nothing more than any other weyrbrat. While the girl could well use her mother's rank to her advantage, for the most part, she did not -- she wasn't the sort to hide behind any shield. She was no coward. No, if she stirred up trouble, she did so accepting the consequences of her actions, and would take whatever punishment came her way.
With both her mother and father busy with their jobs, she often spent time with her older brother. If he wasn't getting her out of trouble, she was getting him into it instead. The two looked out for one another, and that protective nature hasn't left the girl. If her brother's in trouble, you can bet Zyamel will be there to kick some a**.
When not with her brother, the grey eyed girl could be found hanging out with her fellow weyrbrats and running underfoot with the lot of them. She never had trouble making friends, though she knew she had just as many who couldn't stomach her. She was more crass than some of the girls, and certainly was looked on in both awe and jealousy; especially after her mother became the Weyrwoman. Zyamel didn't much care one way or the other -- she didn't care what her parents did, or who they became -- she just wanted to grow up and Impress.
Like many within High Reaches, the dark haired girl grew up eating, breathing, and living a life full of dragons and dragon riding. Finding a craft for her was difficult, as she felt she didn't need one; if she Impressed, she'd be able to make deliveries, serve the Weyr, and generally find odd jobs here and there. So she studied and dabbled with various craftsman around the Weyr, hoping to find some sort of hobby that she could fall back on if she didn't Impress. While she never found the right fit, she has kept her eyes open for something of interest.
At 14, the girl took her right as a weyrbrat to stand for High Reaches next clutch. While she had been confident she'd Impress, she couldn't help but be disappointed when, clutch after clutch, she was left remaining. Still, the girl was too proud to show much regret -- clearly, perfection took time to achieve -- and even three Turn's later, Zyamel is as certain as ever. She knows Hers is out there.
Other: She's dated a few girls on and off over her Turns. She has a few piercings and some tattoos.
