Preferred Name after Impression Senyrae
Physical Description At first glance, Senyrae seems like any normal young woman you would find around. But if you take a second look, you'd be plenty surprised. At only a height of 4'11'', this Candidate is probably one of the shortest people you're ever going to meet, and she is often mistaken as a girl of 12 or 13 turns rather than the age she actually is. Because of her short stature, she is skinny if not on the thin side, and never seems to gain any weight no matter how much she eats. But that doesn't mean she's all skin and bones. Her hips are fleshed out, giving her a slightly curvaeous look to that of a young woman. Her legs fit perfectly to her stature, and her arms are very slim with not a lot of fat to it. Her hands are very small and delicate, much like what an artists hands are like.
Having lived in Ista for most of her life, her skin has a slight tan to it coming from the sun and heat that resides there, but it never really turned dark as it did for the other residents. Her hair is of a dark brown brunette color which goes to her midback with curly ends, and is never really put up save for the special occasion here and there. She much prefers it down anyway. Senyrae's eyes of a vivid bright brown color, and people often flatter her because of them. Complimenting her oval shaped face is a pert little nose that she feels is too big for her, but it truly isn't. She has high cheekbones, and a small mouth to give off a very innocent, childish look to her. She produces a lovely alto voice when she sings, so she can be quite loud when she speaks to other people, due to belting her music often.

Character Personality: If you were to ask someone what Senyrae is like, most would probably reply a "people person". She loves meeting new friends and companions anywhere, and isn't afraid to walk up to someone to say hi to them, and hopes to be a respectable if not close companion to anyone she encounters. She loves a good laugh, willing to crack a joke, and enjoys making people smile because of her. She will protect any person that she really cares about, and is ready to lend a helping hand if the situation needs it.
Outgoing and cheerful, Senyrae tends to act a little more like a child than her actual age she is, and this is what often makes people mistake her for being younger. Not that she truly cares. She says that you should always live life to the fullest. She is very generous and respectful to anyone older than her. Senyrae is also very musical. Gifted with a lovely alto voice, she has remained as one of the more talented singers amongst anyone at the weyr.
When it comes to someone of the opposite sex, Senyrae is not really afraid to approach them as other girls can sometimes. She's just like that, and she is given a very tomboyish attitude for having hung around with them in her younger years. But when it comes to someone she likes, this girl will be a complete mess. She stutters and blushes, not really knowing what to do, afraid that she will say something wrong or stupid. She hopes that she will find someone who can take care of her and love her as the person she is. If she can at least talk to them first.
But she is not without her faults. Senyrae can be a little emotional, and these can often take control of herself in certain situations. This leads to her anger getting the best of her, and it could result in the young woman spouting something she truly doesn't mean. If anyone were to hurt Senyrae or someone close to her, said person will immediately lose her trust. This has given her a very stubborn streak to her personality, and she puts her foot down on what she believes in, no matter how many disagree with her.
She can also be very nosy, and anybody can become easily irritated in having her hang on their shoulder after some time. Senyrae can be very gullible as well, and can take things a bit TOO seriously, so you might want to note the sarcasm next time you speak to her. But the one thing you should never comment on is her height. She is very, very sensitive to that particular aspect of herself, and if someone is to make a comment within earshot of her, that person will most likely be hobbling back to their hold or weyr with a bruised shin. She's starting to control that, though (Well... almost).
Character Background:
Father: D'ramin of Brown Eomith - 40 Turns (Deceased)
Mother: Jenri of Green Ceriath - 38 Turns
Born in Ista Weyr to brownrider D'ramin of brown Eomith and Jenri of green Ceriath at the ages of 20 and 22 turns, Senyrae was very used to the life of a dragonrider at a very young age. It seemed apparent that she would rise to Impress herself when she turned 12. Most of her early years was spent in her imagination with the other weyrbrats, but she spent time with her parents as well, despite the fact they were both dragonriders. She was very thankful to have her parents to love an care for her unlike the other children in the creche. Much of her younger turns were spent in the freedom of playing with her friends, and growing up with the other weyr children, lost in her happiness and imagination. As she grew up, she realized her dream of wanting to become a dragonrider like her parents were, and she went to the Candidate master when she turned 12 turns to ask for a spot. She was enthusiastically accepted, and she joined alongside the other Candidates in hopes to Impress.
But the months wore on, and for all the Impressions she went to, Senyrae was never Impressed by her own dragon, watching her own playmates Impress, and Senyrae became quite saddened by this. How was she, a daughter born by dragonrider parents, not able to Impress herself? Would there ever be one to accept her? One to Impress to her? It didn't seem close to happening, and she grew more depressed than before. Her parents tried to console her, but it was to no avail.
But then the world was bleak as her family was forced to move from the disaster of the meteor crashing into the planet. Her parents were forced to help the people of Pern with the volcanic activity that had arrived. Her mother took her to travel with the rest of the dragonriders to bring the people to the west of the Northern Continent. Her father stayed behind to help any stragglers. Senyrae was 18 turns by this time.
It was very harsh, and many perished. Senyrae and her mother Jenri managed to live. Unfortunately, her father became very sick once he returned from his expedition with the meteor. Between working to help bring people to safety and not taking care of himself, D'ramin became exceedingly ill, unable to seemingly come out of his blight. He was prone to feverish spasms and not being able to eat anything without becoming sick, and it became worse and worse as the days rolled by. Senyrae took care of him as her mother took away to helping others. But it was too late. His fever was too much for him, and he was sent into shock. Before the healers could reach him, D'ramin had passed away a week ago from today, the sickness too much for his body to bear. Eomith joined him between soon after.
Witnessing this entire event with horror filled eyes, Jenri was overcome with heavy grief and disbelief that her mate was dead. Senyrae, too distraught with shock and sorrow, watched as her mother slowly wilted before her eyes. Senyrae realized that it was now taken upon herself to help her mother, with Ceriath as a guide. Jenri, at first, was unconsolable. As time passed, with the love of her daughter and dragon, she soon began to creep out of the shell she made for herself. Senyrae made it her life from then on to protect anyone that she cared about, for fear of having this happen again. It made her change her outlook on life, to live it to the fullest without any regrets. And as such, she grew to be an outgoing person, one who wanted to experience the joy and happiness that she couldn't before.
Soon after the events that occured, the newly established Dragon Weyr was made for her and her mother to reside. Senyrae decided that it was high time to become a Candidate once more. Being weyrbred, it seemed almost inevitable that this would occur, and she approached the Candidate Master to reaffirm at Dragon Weyr, asking for a position in Candidacy. Accepted, she hugged her her mother and wished her well. Now was the time to help, and she hoped to be the dragonrider to bring the hope that Pern was looking for.
It was hard to grow and get used to their new lives, what being here only two days? It was just all so knew and a little daunting to get used to. But Senyrae became immensely fascinated with the Harpers that became Candidates and realized she had an extremely talented alto voice. Could she use this for a possible apprenticeship lest she not Impress? Perhaps. Only time will tell.

Roleplay Sample Senyrae held back her own sob as she gazed at her father. Her loving, proud, wonderful father was dead. Dead. It was just too hard to fathom, to comprehend. The death defying screech of Eomith still rang in her ears, his cries renching her heart and bringing the other dragons into a great pitched mourning. No... No! Make it go away! Please! She didn't want this, didn't want this death, this pain. Gripping her hands into fists and bringing them to her ears to try to stifle the noise, tears escaped her eyes as they continued.
Her mother was beside her, dumb-struck and unwilling to realize or comprehend what she has just witnessed. Jenri? Ceriath asked as she let her own voice joining alongside the others.
Her mouth open and closed, but no words would come out. It was as if her voice was stolen from her, and she couldn't utter a word. And then she screamed. Screamed to the tops of Dragon Weyr, letting out all the pain and sadness from within her. Senyrae couldn't bear it. Gripping her mom in a hug next to her 18 turn body, she sobbed as her mother to try to soothe her with her presence. But it was all for naught. Jenri continued to scream, setting the hairs on the back of Senyrae's head to stand on end at the piercing note.
No. This would not end as it had. Not for all that she had lived for.
Hardened by this unexpected development in her life, Senyrae decided. She would become a dragonrider, to protect all these wonderful people and not allow them to suffer the fate that her father just had. Not just beause it was in her blood, or that it was a long standing dream of hers. No, now it was even bigger than that. Bigger than she had thought before. Bigger than all that had occured in her lifetime. She would be a dragonrider, and would rise to save all from tragedy for as long as she lived.
Gazing at her distraught mother, she told her, "Mother, we will get through this. You have me, and you have Ceriath. We'll get through this together, and I promise you that I will be the best dragonrider that I can be." And that was an honest-to-Faranth promise.
