[RIDER]
Name: Isolda
Age: 29 (impressed at 16)
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: ???
Weyr: Other
Rider Rank: Gold Rider
Previous Rank/Craft: Weyrbrat
Physical Description: Isolda is a tall, willowy woman with dusky olive skin that is spattered with a dusting of freckles across the bridge of her nose and along her shoulders. Her eyes are a mossy green-brown though her hair is dark, thick and wild, typically kept in intricate braids or updos in some attempt to tame its mass.
Personality: Isolda is a silent observer and a schemer who prefers to know situations before diving into them and prides herself on her awareness of the webs that are weaved around her. Sometimes her suspicion lends to over-thinking and paranoia but she is exceptional at keeping her cool even with how turbulent her thoughts can sometimes get. She is generally a charismatic, pleasant person to be around but does not easily forgive those who act against her or take advantage of the less fortunate and very often has a difficult time letting things go. Once jaded she can be cold or dismissive of a person but it takes a great wrong-doing to earn open ire in place of her polite, false niceties.
Positive Trait List Level-headed, observant, protective
Negative Trait List Begrudging, prideful, paranoid
History: Isolda was a weyrbrat born and raised in High Reaches by her mother, Aella, who worked (and still works) in the kitchens - just like her mother before her and her mother before her. As a child, she was raised under the impression that her father was a dragon rider (like many of her agemates were). She would sit and dream outside all day long as she watched the dragons fly by overhead, wondering if any of them carried her father and who he was, what great things he had done. When she was about six turns old, her mother took to romancing a travelling merchant that came in and out of the Weyr at varying intervals until her mother became pregnant with her younger brother, Kaladan, and the man stopped showing up altogether. The older Kaladan got, the more curious he became about his own father, and she heard her mother tell him the same grand stories she had once told Isolda - he was a great dragon rider with many responsibilities and he did not have time to spend with him. It made her realize that her mother had probably lied to her too and ruined both her sense of identity as well as her love for the community.
Over time she became bitter and begrudging and only performed her duties out of a sense of responsibility, not out of love for her Weyr. She had all but made up her mind to leave the Weyr when one fateful day she took her kid brother Kaladan to view a hatching and impressed from the stands. Again, her world was tipped over as she embraced her role as a dragon rider to a beautiful, wonderful Gold. They grew together and bonded but try as she might, Isolda still could not reconcile her feelings toward belonging in the community and purposefully withdrew as often as possible from her clutchmates and thrust herself, instead, into her duties and her classes. At some point during her time raising a young, growing Aloheth she was noticed by junior weyrwoman of the time, Zheria, and found that was one of the very few dragon riders that encouraged her to go out into the world.
Now, some 13 years later, she is mostly a wandering dragon rider who owes no loyalty to any Weyr. She helps those outside the Weyrs, usually for gold, and spends long stays at Holds whenever they will offer her the hospitality. She does come home to HR to check in upon her family, especially her bullheaded younger brother, but it is rare. When she does return home she always finds time to meet with Zheria; though she does not consider herself a part of the High Reaches Weyr any longer, she does show a deep loyatly to the other woman.

DRAGON
Name: Aloheth
Age: 13
Color: Gold
Size: 45.5
Physical Description: Aloheth is longer than she is bulky, lean by gold standards but perfectly average in size. This lends to graceful and quick flight patterns though not so much to her strength or skill as a fighter.
Personality: The young dragon is accustomed to solitude and though she comes across as a gentle soul, she is often very quiet. Though she often seems alone, she would not call herself lonely and she always prefers small groups when being social. Despite this, she is an inviting and mothering gold with very little ill-will towards anyone that does not pose a threat to herself or hers. Much of her life has been devoted to healing the aches in her rider’s heart and it has made her apt to do the same with others whenever the situation calls for such; she hates to see any other soul hurting.
