Inadyn

Name: Inadyn
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Rank: Weyrbrat
Job: Kitchen helper/Farmer

Appearance: Inadyn stands about 5'7" and weighs only 100lbs soaking wet. She's a tiny little thing, but what she lacks in size, she makes up in her sweetness. She has flaming red hair, something that her parents aren't 100% which side of the family she got it from, but they know her striking green orbs are from her grandmother. Even though she spend a lot of time outside and before the cooking fires, she's actually pretty pale, all things considering. She doesn't seem to tan or burn, though she does turn a little pink if she gets to hot.

Personality: Inadyn always has a smile on her face. Always ready to help others, she doesn't turn down the chance to listen to others tell tales either. The sad part about this wonderfully, sweet, young girl is that she doesn't speak . . . Well, not doesn't in the sense that she can, can't as in the sense that she cannot physically speak. She's a mute. And even though you would think this might get the young girl down, it doesn't seem to bother her as much as you would think it would. Over the Turns, she's come up with her own way of speaking to others, but since she's new to the newly formed Weyr, she's having to reteach her way of talking to everyone. 

However, she does have a large fear of the Earth-born people that came from the crash. She's not 100% sure why she's so fearful of them, but she is. Due to this fear, her muteness comes off more as shyness.

History: Inadyn's family is no longer whole. Her mother is with a new husband in another Hold, her father rotting in some street, and her siblings are scattered about the Weyrs and Holds. The only thing constant in Inadyn's life is her grandmother on her mother's side. The elderly woman practically raised her, staying with her until Inadyn decided she wanted to branch out and move about the Weyrs.

From an early age, she loves working with her grandmother out in the garden near the kitchens. The older woman taught her how to prepare and work with food as soon as she was able to walk around the kitchen. Before long, she had other tasks, some out in the garden, others in the kitchen. She began learning about the healing properties about plants, but it was during her eleventh turn that her father tried to sell her to a brothel. Her mother and her grandmother got her back, and it all ended with her father being beaten by the brothel owner, who actually ran an honest business and didn't buy girls, but let them come to him whereas his manager was the more shady character, her mother leaving her father, and her grandmother taking on full control of her life. The brothel owner was actually a very kind man that gave her a flit egg to try and make up for his manager's attempt to buy her.

Of course, she was given her way in life and her grandmother just sat back and helped her when she was needed. When news came that Sea Cliff Weyr was going to be started and eggs were going to be moved there, Inadyn jumped at the chance to move to the new Weyr, though she knew she wouldn't ever be able to Stand due to her being mute, but she still wanted to be close to the dragons and see a new part of Pern.

When the shuttle crashed, Inadyn tried to help as best she could, but she was better at mixing herbs and plants for the Healers and cooking meals then actually dealing with the Earth-born. She was frightened of them, but they were new, someone that hadn't proven to be trustworthy. Yet, when the eggs began to hatch and several Impressed to the Earth-born, including the King and 2 Queens, her fear of them slowly began to melt. Hopefully she will one day be able to at least hold a pseudo-conversation with one of them.

Pets


Name: Kalir
Gender: Male
Species: Canine
Age: a few months

Appearance: Kalir is a white, long-ish coated canine, at least his pelt will be a lot longer than his sister, Imp's, pelt when he's older. The runt of the litter, Inadyn was given the pup to help survive his first few weeks due to a poor immune system and general health problems due to his small size. He won't be as large as his father, but he'll have his mother's speed and both their strength. As he grows, he'll keep his white pelt and black tipped tail. 

Personality: Born of a breeding between Anka's Kia and a female canine, Kalir is the runt of the litter. Due to Inadyn's wealth of knowledge with plants, Anka turned to the young girl to help save Kalir, with the intent of getting him back once he was better. However, when the time came to return the pup to Anka, Kalir kept ending up back at Inadyn's every night. After a few escape attempts, Anka left the pup with Inadyn and thus Inadyn got a new pet. He's loyal and even though he's still kind of small, he doesn't back down from anything. Friendly, he'll follow Inadyn anywhere and seems to be her shadow. He doesn't seem to share her love for plants, always weaseling past her to eat whatever he can get his muzzle on, or peeing on the plants that she is trying to plant/gather. 

Name: Yias
Gender: Male
Species: Firelizard
Color: Topaz - green
Age: 4

Appearance: Yias is a beautiful, striking green, almost the same color as Inadyn's eyes. He has some darker tones at his wing joints and shoulders, but for the most part he's just striking. Tiny, he fits well with Inadyn and can often be found curled up in her hair.

Personality: Whereas Inadyn is mute and Kalir has yet to find his protective nature, Yias is very protective of his human. He is her voice, her strength, her protector, and her helper. Often known for chasing off other humans if Inadyn seems distressed, he rarely leaves her side.
