Physical Description:
Lithe, but toned, Z'mya is a rather comely girl, if you ask her at least. With broad shoulders, and sharp brown eyes, she often seems to be studying everyone around her, curious to see what might come of simply hanging around. Her limbs are longer, with a shorter torso, and an hourglass figure that has come to look a bit more proportionate after three turns of Rider status. With high cheekbones and a broad nose, some might call her looks more elfin or androgynous. Her dark hair is long, and oft kept in a tight braid so that it can be kept out of the way. At 5'7", she likes to imagine she cuts an imposing figure.
Personality:
When you meet Z'mya, it's clear first and foremost that she's rather level-headed. She understands how the world works in the most realistic sense and deals with things as they are. Forget about subtext or possible nuances, Z'mya deals with things at face value. After all, the world is as it is. Why try to look thirty different ways for one thing that's right in front of you? This also leads to some matter of pessimism. When you take the world at face value, with realism and strategic manner, you often fail to see the hope, the good in things. Z'mya honestly expects she and her blue will die in threadfall pretty quickly, expects that she won't have a family, because she's a Rider. That's her reality. FOr some people, this might be too doom and gloom, but for her? It's her way of life. It can easily cost her friendships though.
Z'mya likes things in a particular way. Whether it is her records, her room, or her life, organization is paramount to the young Rider. Everything needs to be just so, and it helps that wing drills and Wing assignments tend to feed directly in to this need. The issue comes when she feels something is out of place. She gets hyper-focused and needs to make sure it's corrected. While she'll do her best never to say anything to the Wingleaders or Seconds, she'll often run an imperfection in a drill on her part over and over until she has it right, even in her off time. Her room will get a once over time and time again.
Fortunately, she's driven to work with people. Before candidacy, she thrived working with the kitchen staff, able to fit in any place in the kitchen without complaint. During Candidacy, she did her best to get on with everyone and followed instruction, and it has carried over to being a Rider. She enjoys the structure of working with a Wing, and the people, loving the idea of being a part of something bigger than herself. It does lead to a natural desire to be around people, though. One that often comes across as being clingy. When left alone to her own devices, Z'mya can become kind of lonely, dejected, and lethargic. When she feels close to someone, like she does with her elder brother, she devotes herself to doing whatever she can to make them happy...as long as it fits within her little niche of reality.

History:
The youngest child of a Rider pair, Z'mya grew up idolizing her elder brother, Z'men. They clearly loved each other, and their children, so her upbringing was a happy one as a Creche child. Always cared for, always around others, always surrounded with things that made her happy. Before candidacy, Z'mya proved to have a passion for hard work. She was taken to Kitchens work instead of a Craft, because it was something necessary. IT made her feel needed. She proved to have an aptitude for such things, moving around as needed, helping the cooks, learning quickly. Being Searched was strange, but she'd never complain! After all, if her big brother was a Rider and she could be too? Z'mya would take it!
Candidacy was met with the same passion that her Kitchens work was. Chores, team exercises, homework, it was the structure and organization that the girl enjoyed. Standing was different, feeling those emotions and thoughts against her mind, watching the hatchlings on the sands. It was foreign, but interesting. It took several turns of Standing, but eventually, a tiny and shy voice reached out to her and called her His. Her small Hakilith, a frail Blue, wrapped her in love and assurance, deciding that she would be his forever...if she'd have him that was.
Since Impression, she's been devoted to studies and to teamwork as best she could. After all, she wants to be a benefit to the Weyr, and show her brother and parents just how good at all of this she can be.

Younger sister to Z'men of Blue Brilath
DRAGON
Name:
Hakilith
Age: 3 Turns
Color: Blue
Size:
23'
Physical Description:
Tiny, for a Blue, with a frail physique, most people would think Hakilith is incapable of the work required for a fighting dragon. In fact, when he hatched? People thought he likely wouldn't make it. Even fully grown as he is now, his body is small, and his wingspan and tail are the largest parts of his body. He's pale at the head, with color darkening towards his tail, and has a slightly more narrow head than other dragons.
Personality:
Quiet and shy Hakilith is happiest in the back of the pack. If he's unnoticed by anyone but His, he's content to spend his time hiding on his ledge, or running under the instructions of a Winglead or Second. He does his best when given demands, or structure, which is part of why he picked His Z'mya. He likes to be noticed only when it's for praise, and goes white-eyed if he's criticized, but does his best no matter what he does. He wants to be loved, and treated gently by people, and asks his rider to tend to his particular needs as soon as he asks for them...if she wouldn't mind please.
