Name/Nicknames: Moira O�Connor/none
Gender: Female
Rank/Position: Apprentice Dolphineer/Candidate
Age: 19
Birthplace: Dublin, Ireland

Physical Description: Moira is 5�5� tall, 125 pounds, and still relatively straight and lithe looking�although she is finally starting to fill out into more feminine curves, much to her relief. She�s got her father�s red hair and her mother�s brown eyes, which always seem to be twinkling with laughter and mischief. She�s always had the same soft Irish accent that the rest of her family has, but as she�s gotten older and learned the art of flirting (much to her brothers� dismay) she has cultivated it so that it is much thicker than the rest of her family. When she sings, her voice compliments her mother�s nicely as a low range soprano.

Personality: Moira enjoys anything that has even a hint of mischief, although she�s rarely gotten in trouble for it. The only time she�s ever completely forward about her intentions is when she�s working with her family�s fair of firelizards or with the dolphins. She enjoys the subtle art of flirting and manipulating men�although she tries never to string them on long enough to hurt them. She enjoys being a girl, but she�s not afraid to jump into a nice rowdy game of sports and be �just one of the guys.� Other than the temper that occasionally gets the better of her, she is truly her father�s daughter, smiling and laughing as often as Victor does and enjoying life as fully as possible.

Background: She had four older brothers, all of which she is very close to, despite the fact that she resents their over-protectiveness. Her mother is a short, somewhat pudgy woman who is full of energy and affection, and her father is a tall, heavyset man who is firm but just as affectionate as Aidan�s mother. Her mother is a skilled baker and her father is an equally skilled veterinarian. The family was all born and at least partially raised in Dublin before Moira�s father decided to join the settlers bound for Pern. Moira was young enough at the time that she didn�t understand the magnitude of the situation and merely saw it as a grand travel adventure.

When they arrived on Pern and Moira realized they could never go back home, she was very upset. She spent a great deal of her time pouting and stomping from one part of the settlement to the other. When she was eight, she began to become more aware of firelizards, horses, and dolphins. She began splitting her time between hunting for firelizard eggs and watching the dolphineers. When she grew old enough, she began studying with the dolphineers, although she secretly wished to be able to study firelizards and nothing else.

When the colonists split into two groups, all of her family remained in the south. By the time the dragon project came into being, Moira was well into her training. She was torn between the dolphins and the chance to become a dragonpartner; to become the specialist she�d always wanted to be. It wasn�t until she saw the dragonpartners that resulted from the first batch of eggs that her mind was made up: she wanted to try for a dragon. She applied for Candidacy and was at the next hatching. She didn�t attract a dragon, but she knows in her bones that she was born for this.

If your persona were a song, the title: Just a Girl by No Doubt

Pets: Moira was so busy passing out firelizard eggs to her family the day that she finally found a wild clutch that she only managed to grab one for herself. It hatched to reveal a perfect brilliantly colored emerald green lizard, which she named Emmy. She�s turned out to be very trainable and biddable and much more intelligent than the average green (although she�s still far from qualifying for the title of smartest thing with wings).
