Physical Description: Ceyla has all the makings of being a beauty when she finishes growing. For now though, she's in that awkward teenage stage where she's all sharp bones and angles, much to her dismay. It's not necessarily so bad though - her dark blonde hair is long and curls loosely when its down, a definite distraction from the pre-pubescent figure. Her blue eyes are a pale color, which can be somewhat startling in comparison to her skin color.

Unlike many blondes, Ceyla's skin will burn badly when she first goes out into the sun, but after burning a few times, will tan nicely. Not darkly, but her skin is a pale golden color. She tends to flatter herself with complementary colors, although now that she's a weyrling, her dressier clothes have been abandoned for more serviceable items - ones that the various chores associated with her dragonet won't ruin.

Personality: Very much a typical teenage girl, other than her green, much of Ceyla's attention goes towards the young men around her. The fact that she's the only one from her small group of friends that hasn't hit puberty yet is the absolute worst thing that could have happened to her, in her opinion. Little does she know, obviously.

Thankfully for her, although she is young and naive, Ceyla didn't inherit the talkativeness associated with most greenriders - or fourteen year olds! She has a small group of close friends, many of them in her weyrling class, but doesn't stray too far from them. It has struck her, since she isn't stupid, that the boys seem to like this more than the open flirtations of some of the other girls.

Background: Born at the first Dusk Forest, Ceyla, her dragonriding parents, and sometimes foster mother were among the refugees who escaped to Dawn Meadows Weyrhold.

She had lived a quiet childhood up until that point, filled with the pranks, laughter and mischief that most children find themselves in at one point or another. Her parents, although they were long-time weyrmates, didn't always have the time to look after her, so she spent a lot of time with one of Dusk Forest's foster mothers, a middle-aged woman by the name of Baylie. While it was never an official fostering, the Headwoman knew about the arrangement and saw no problems, as long as Ceyla wasn't being mistreated or neglected at any point.

After the earthquake and the move to Dawn Meadows though, Ceyla was on her own more than usual - Baylie had been seriously injured and was still under the Healer's care, and her parents were trying to find a place of their own amongst the riders at their new home.

She'd never had much interest in crafting, but she was considering her choices in that direction when her parents reminded her that once she turned thirteen, she'd be eligible to stand as a Candidate. Unlike most children brought up in the weyr, Ceyla wasn't so thrilled about the idea, but agreed to it as a temporary thing - if she didn't Impress before she turned 14, she'd Apprentice.

Her parents agreed, although at a weyrhold, it wasn't unheard of for older teens to apprentice to a craft.

She Impressed a green, Illaribyth, a few months before that birthingday. The pair had just graduated into Sr. Weyrlinghood when J'syn and Sierrata returned to Dusk Forest to announce that they had found a new home for them all. Along with her parents, and again, Baylie, they moved to the new Dusk Forest, looking for a place they could be happy in.

Dragon Name: Illaribyth
Age: Dragonet
Riders age at Impression: 13
Color: Green

Dragon Description: Illaribyth, although Ceyla calls her Lari most of the time, is going to be one of the larger greens at the Weyrhold. She's well-proportioned despite that, with an eye catching color: a deep, even jade. Unlike most dragons, who have variations of their color at different points on their hides, Lari's stays even over her entire body, other than a slight darkening on her face.

Being a dragonet, her personality is even more changeable than most. She's playful, and curious about absolutely everything. It remains to be seen whether she'll stay that way, or settle down as she matures.
