When Kaeryn joined the harper craft at the young age of 14 turns, Jerran was still a senior apprentice, but was promoted to journeyman soon thereafter. He was an artist, which is one of Kaeryn's passions, so when he was preparing to move to Ista Weyr and wanted a few art students to take with him, she was the first to volunteer. Her bags were packed, she said goodbye to Trevilla, who was her confidant at the hall, and off they went. As time passed and as Kae grew up, she became interested in Jerran as more than just her mentor, and revealed these feelings to a fellow apprentice. Much to her dismay, Jerran was told, but things worked out better than she could have hoped. From that moment on, the two were a couple, but, though they did they best they could to keep it quiet, they were discovered. Teraille threatened to have Jerran demoted and Kaeryn thrown out of the craft if they were caught again, then demanded she return to the hall when Jerran left for Tillek. Time passed, Kaeryn finished her journeyman project, and, the night it was unveiled, she was promoted, and they revealed their relationship as well.

Kae joined Jerran at Tillek, but after a while, their relationship began to falter. While she was in the hold, teaching the children of the weyr, he travelled to the various cotholds, doing his duties. When he was home, he was concentrating on the work he had left to do. After having been promised they would handfast, and being engaged for 6 turns, Kae realized that it wasn't going to happen. Without even a goodbye, she left.

Jerran will always hold a special place in Kae's heart. She will always love him, and his friendship is one that will be held above all others, as well as his respect. He's a kind man, generous and warm, with a talent that will one day make Pern an even more beautiful place.

Jerran
     Jerran's sunbleached blonde is grown down to the middle of his back, hanging in a long ponytail. An orange and blue hair wrap hangs rougueishly at the side of his face, always seeming to fall infront of his eyes. His large eyes a light teal color and bring an astonishing contrast to the rest of his tanned face. His features are sharp, his barely pointy nose curving out just above a pair of thin lips. The latter are usually raised in at least a smile. His whole body is tanned a dark, almost copperish color, undoutedly from day after day spend out in the tropical Istan sun. Noticable along the inside of his right wrist is a very thin line of scar-tissue, running from about an inch below his wrist to the bottom of his palm.
     Loose cut trousers of a slight weight material are held at Jerran's waist by a woven leather belt. They are pressed, it seems, a thin crease running down their front and back. They ride down over the soft, dark leather of his boots, low cut with dark brown laces. His button fastened shirt is made of a light material that flutters about him. The pattern is made of crosses of light and dark blue, highlighted by strips of white running through them vertically and hoizontally. Around his right wrist is a tighlty woven bracelet of flaxen strands with a harper blue strand woven into it in an intricate pattern.
     Jerran wears the single strand and tail knot with the blue and white strands of a Harper Journeyman.
