Bluerider Fallier - Played by: Heather A.

Name: Fallier
Age: 24
Sex/Preference: Female/bisexual
Rank/Title/Position: Candidatemaster
Current Location: Kalarak Weyr

Physical Description: Fallier has thick strawberry red hair with light blonde hightLights; with green eyes she is quite the odd combination of looks. Her hair falls to her waist and frames her face. Most of the time she can be found in light, bright clothing, with her hair braided. She is lightly tanned from spending time outdoors. She is tall and slim, 5'6" 140 pounds, muscular. However, when she was young she was thrown from a runnerbeast and has had a slight limp in her left leg ever since.

Emotional Description: Aside from the times when Fallier is teaching, she usually doesn't speak unless spoken to. To many it appears as if the bluerider is shy, but that isn't the case. She has a bit of a preference for observing and listening to people. She has a remarkable ability to absorb information while appearing as if she isn't even listening at all. Because of this people have a tendency to go to her for advice.

The bluerider is kind by nature and often finds it difficult to turn down practically any type of request. She appears calm on the outside, but has a bad habit of worrying over everything. If she is ever angered, she quickly shrugs off the irritation and worries instead. She does know when to put her worries aside and concentrate on what is important, however. She has a deep sense of responsibility to her dragon, her Weyr, and the candidates in her care.

Brief History: Fallier isn't disappointed in the least that her life was a rather boring one before she Impressed. Born and raised in a small cothold near High Reaches Hold, she was the middle child of six other siblings. Being neither the oldest and the first to try everything, nor the youngest and the most fussed over, she was often left out. Her parents had no special plans for her, they were too busy trying to provide for their children. Fallier grew to prefer being left out; getting to sit back and observe.

Around the age of twelve, the girl began to take an interest in the craft of weaving and tailoring. Glad to have another set of hands to help mend old clothes and to make new ones, her parents didn't object in the least. Fallier especially took a liking to the art of embroidery and needle-point. She loved to stitch patterns onto sleeves, necklines, skirts, and anywhere else she could find on a garment. She enjoyed nothing more than to sit by an open window until Rukbat set, stitching and listening to the world go on around her. Unfortunately she had a tendency to keep working even after her light sources expired.

Life continued on uneventfully, with Fallier preferring to observe it rather than become a part of it. She progressed past puberty and men never even looked her way, for most of them didn't even know she was there. Then, shortly after her seventeenth birthingday something happened that the girl never expected: A blue dragon visiting the cothold Searched her for the clutch hardening on the Sands of High Reaches Weyr. Whisked away to the Weyr, she was thrown into a whole new lifestyle.

The Hatching Day came and went, and Fallier was left standing alone. She wasn't as disappointed as she thought she would be, and was a little relieved to be returning back to the simple, if boring, life at her home hold. However, during the short time she had been a Candidate, curious eyes had discovered the girl's skill with the needle, and she quickly had many requests for custom tailoring. Too kind to turn them down, Fallier soon found herself in a new niche as the personal tailor of various dragonriders and weyrfolk alike.

Gradually the girl managed to disappear from common knowledge, with only the few for whom she performed tailoring work knowing her name. She was able to blend in so well, that she wasn't Searched again until two turns later at the age of sixteen. This time she _was_ noticed by someone: The little blue dragonet Zianth to be exact. Fallier had been taken completely by surprise when the young blue had made straight for her as soon as he was free of his shell.

A few turns after departing from Weyrlinghood, Fallier was involved in a severe accident while fighting Thread. Fallier's left side was extensively scored and her arm and leg were both rendered nearly useless. Months passed before she was even able to walk again. She slowly built her strength back up, and is now able to walk with a slight limp.

Fallier began to look for other options almost as quickly as she began re-learning to walk. Deciding that she didn't wish to live anywhere other than a Weyr, she turned down the idea of being a watchrider. After months of recovery she got word of open positions for Candidate Master at a new Weyr in the South and quickly applied for the job.

Abilities/Strengths/Weaknesses:
Abilities- Sewing & Weaving
Strengths- Teaching, singing
Weaknesses- Talking in front of anyone except her Candidates

Pet Name: Sunset
Pet Breed: Feline
Pet Description: Sunset wandered into the weyrling barracks one night and took up residence on Zianth's muzzle. Entranced, he insisted that they "keep it." While Sunset's a fairly independent little thing, he is young and he does spend a majority of his time with Fallier and Zianth when they're available. Fallier always knows when Sunset's been waiting for them, as the spectacularly orange and grey feline has plenty of fur in both spectrums to leave on clothing, books, and bedding.

Dragon Name: Zianth
Dragon Color: Blue
Dragon Age: Eight
Fighting Wing: ThreadsEnd (Weyrling>
Adult Size: medium-large

Physical Description: Zianth is ever-so-slightly larger than average, with utterly perfect proportions. Fallier teases him that he's the Harper definition of a blue dragon. He's a soft, luminous blue (think of the flame of natural gas), with a hint of what looks like silver brightening his wings when the sun hits them. One Threadscore draws a pale line from one haunch to halfway down his left hind leg, and a small circle of scar tissue on his neck marks where he was singed as a weyrling by an overenthusiastic clutchmate.

Emotional Description: Zianth is, as Fallier puts it, so not helpful. He's cheerful and good-natured, and blankly uncomprehending whenever Fallier expresses discontent with his lot in life. As long as Zianth has Fallier, food, a sun-warmed spot to doze in, and greens to chase, he's happy and thinks Fallier should be too. He attacks Thread and herdbeasts with equal relish, tolerates small children and fire-lizards, and has a bad habit of sneaking up on people. Many a couple who thought they had privacy in some shadowy niche of the Bowl have found themselves interrupted by a big blue muzzle or a bright-whirling eye.

Abilities/Strengths/Weaknesses:
Strengths- Long-distance and High-altitude flying
Weaknesses- Quick ascents, and slow descents, he always seems to land at break neck speed.
