Journeywoman Dragonhealer Ankeli

Cheyenne

Name: Ankeli
Age: 29
Rank: Journeywoman Dragonhealer
Birthplace: Makala Weyr
Residence: Makala Weyr

Hair: Curling, bright gold hair falls to her shoulders in bouncing ringlets, sunkissed and shining.
Eyes: Deep, forest green eyes, flecked with amber gold and midnight blue. Pale, honey-gold lashes, thin and long, frame their slanted, narrow shape.
Build: Childishly thin, she has little to no figure to speak of. Fine-boned, Ankeli looks delicate, as though she might break.
Complexion: Pale skin, barely tan enough to be termed peach-toned, is smooth and even.
Identifying Marks/Other: Anekli is a lovely young woman, with ruby red lips, shining eyes, and a thin, arristocratic nose. A steady smile is always on her lips; her hands and lower forearms are stained with redwort, and tiny brown marks marr her slender fingers from where she has pricked herself with needlethorn. Her hands are strong and firm from turns of working with the dragons.
     She prefers to wear tight pants and cutoff, sleeveless tunics, clothes that allow mobility. Her curly hair is held back from her face by a thick cloth headband; she prefers to dress in yellows and reds and oranges, jokingly saying that she is "one with fire". She keeps two knives strapped to her waist in case of emergencies, as she likes to term them.

Personality: Ankeli has almost always managed to maintain a safe distance between personal life and professional life. Professionally, she is a strong, healthy, hearty woman, always ready with a welcome smile, always able to lend a helping hand. She is strong, and knows when to be harsh. Dragons are her passion, and she is an excellent Journeywoman if only because of that.
     Unfortunately, she is not always able to keep private separate from public. When in a relationship, Ankeli devotes her time and emotion to the relationship, not to her craft; although she would be in line for promotion to Master within two turns, she should have to wait another five or six because of her relationships.
     A devoted woman, she is extremely passionate about those she falls in love with. She has never borne a child, saying she hasn't the time for it; each time she has been pregnant, she has taken herself between.

History: Born at Makala Weyr to two dragonriders, Ankeli was raised around dragons and knew from the beginning that she would always be around dragons, no matter what. Of course, as a child, her dreams led her to riding a dragon, not healing them. However, her mother encouraged her to apprentice to the Dragonhealing Craft at a young age; at eleven, Ankeli did so.
     Bright and eager, she was a favorite of her Masters. She learned quickly and was always anxious to please. When she was chosen to be a Candidate by a blue dragon, however, she stepped back from the craft. She was seventeen. She stood for many clutches; when she turned twenty one, she decided that her chances of Impression were slim, and returned to the Craft.
     At twenty two, she met L'zien, a handsome, intelligent bronzerider with a charming smile and a boyish laugh. She and he flirted back and forth for several months; six months later, Ankeli was living in his weyr.
     Their relationship lasted about seven months before Ankeli grew restless with their relationship. Their breakup was a hard one, and L'zien still holds a grudge against the pretty Journeywoman. Anxious for another relationship, she would have to wait until she was twenty five before another would come along. During those turns, she devoted herself to her craft; it was through the craft that she met her next lover, Zaymian.
     Zaymian was a dark and exotic man, brooding and quiet, with a gentle insistency that intrigued Ankeli. They shared their bed several times, but both soon came to realize that they would make better friends. Their relationship is still on healthy grounds.
     At twenty seven, Ankeli met Enya, rider of Lalaith. Enya was a smiling and pleasant woman. Ankeli had never before thought she could be attracted to women, but she fell for Enya almost instantly. They were together for several sevendays before L'zien's bronze rose to meet Enya's green. L'zien and Enya are now weyrmates, and neither can stand the sight of Ankeli.
