Location: Red Star Weyr
Personality: Calm, decisive, seldom panics. Generally easygoing and
approachable. Well, that is, until Osvadth is close to rising. Then she becomes more and more short-tempered and irritable as time passes. She hates being trapped on the ground and the five weeks waiting for eggs to Hatch is about a month and six days too long for her. Absolutely despises hidework, and will gladly foist it off on anyone else so that she can go *do* something. She's nervous about the start of the Pass, but confident that the Weyr will do well.
History: The only daughter of a well-to-do Holder is raised with certain
expectations. Namely, to comport herself in an appropriate manner, complete domestic duties with a minimum of fuss and time wasted, and above all else to marry well. Rebayo grew up with her father's exhortations ringing in her ears and her mother's micromanagement of her time. There was much a Holder's daughter had to learn to be an eligible bride. Out of a sense of duty, she learned it all ... cooking, cleaning, sewing, bookkeeping, everything. And she hated every
minute of it. She was not the sort that thrived sitting in a stuffy room all day. She wanted to be out and about outside, doing things, getting into trouble. Such was beneath her, however, and she was seldom allowed to mingle with the other girls her age.
The older she got, the more rebellious her thoughts and actions became. When, in the course of time, her father arranged what he believed was a suitable match, Rebayo was horrified. She did *not* want to be married to a man she'd never met, much less one ten turns older than herself. But there was little she could do.
Fate stepped in and took a hand. A week after her father informed her of her upcoming wedding, Searchriders arrived at the Hold. A rather stunned Rebayo was Searched. Her father tried to talk the Searchrider out of it, tried to talk her out of it, but Rebayo saw Fort Hold as her way out of an unpalatable situation. She went.
She was left standing at that clutch, but the next Turn, much to her shock and her parent's pride, golden Osvadth chose her as her rider. Rebayo was horrified to learn that much of a goldrider's responsibilites were much like those of a Holder's wife. There were, however, compensations that a Holder's wife did not have. A dragon being the best one. She also got to spend at least part of every day outside doing something active, which was a huge compensation for Rebayo.
The pair has done well. Rebayo never formed a permanent bond with any one bronzerider, and each of her five kids has a different father. With the recent completion of basic quarters in Red Star Weyr, several goldriders from different Weyrs were asked to transfer, with the possibility of ending up as Weyrwoman of the new Weyr. Rebayo opted to transfer, not so much because of the possibility of being Weyrwoman as because the Weyr itself was very new and raw
and needed a lot of work to make it fully habitable. Such strenuous work was right up Rebayo's alley. She moved herself, her five kids, and their foster mother to Red Star Weyr.
Dragon
Name: Osvadth
Color: Gold
Age: 19
Size: 29 feet
Personality: Queen of all she surveys. Goddess on the Heights ... can we say "Gold with an attitude?" She commands respect from everyone, and if she doesn't get it she's quick to remind the errant personage, be they human, dragon, or something else, that she is THE QUEEN and they should show the proper respect. The only one who can get away with treating her as anything but THE QUEEN is Rebayo. With Rebayo, Osvadth is very different. Calmer, less demanding. She
is, fotunately, not an overly broody gold, and will take breaks from the
Hatching Grounds ... provided her mate, his rider, or Rebayo is there to keep an eye on things.
Physical description: Medium in size but striking in coloration. Her body is an antique gold with swirls of yellow-gold, that, in places, nearly look like stripes. Her wings are the same yellow-gold color as the swirls.
Where impressed: Fort Weyr
Pet
Name: Guri
Type: Firelizard (brown)
Age: 10
Size: meduum
Markings/scars: He's got a number of scars on his body from battles with others of his species ... and by rights ought to have no hide at all after getting it scared off of him a few times by Osvadth.
Personality: Bold, sassy, and fearless. Very protective of Rebayo and thinks nothing of flying to her assistance no matter *how* big the foe. (including a few rather memorable encounters with an aggravated Osvadth)
History: His egg was given to her by her parents as a present to commemorate ten Turns of being a rider.
