User ImageName: Nefri
Age: 26 turns
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Weyr: Western Weyr
Rider Rank: Wingrider
Previous Rank/Craft: Slave/Servant
Physical Description: Tall but not willowy, she is pretty broad shouldered for her size, without being overly heavy, She's got a good deal of physical strength, something she doesn't really show off. Her hair is medium length, softly curled and dark, which can seem harsh against her pale toned skin. Her eyes are large and green with flecks of brown that seems to shimmer golden in the right light. She used to tend to wear clothes that blended in but despite the fact her dragon doesn't like being flashy, she wants her rider to stand out and shredded all her bland clothes, encouraging her to dress nicer so now Nefri tends to, not stand out, but not blend in, she wears smart, pretty things that suit her.

Personality: Nefri Seems imposing to look at, tall with broad shoulders and the contrast between her hair and skintone makes her stand out, but in fact she's not very loud, or abrasive, she'd much rather look more average but doesn't dwell on it much. She's not afraid to use her size as a means to and end if it's the right thing to do however. In her mind things are one way or another, right or wrong, she struggles with any middle ground. If she believes something is wrong, she will stick to it unless provided with unequivocal proof. Nefri doesn't like children or small pets and feels very awkward around them, she much prefers these are kept well away from her and finds it difficult that her dragon adores these things. That said, she wouldn't let anyone or anything come to harm should they end up under her care and she would protect a child especially, with her life if charged with looking after one. The problem with seeing things as black and white, she tends to be taken advantage of, or did more often, before Impressing Frith, she doesn't see both sides of an arguement, she sticks with what feels right to her, whether or not it's actually right, though Frith is helping with seeing the greyer side of disputes.

Positive Trait List Loyal, Strong, Caring
Negative Trait List Black and White views, can be taken advantage of easily, stubborn

History: Nefri wasn't born a slave but she might as well have been, her early life In territory near Bitra Hold, being among holdless was one of constant moving and struggle and as soon as she was old enough, she was charged with helping around the camps, doing whatever tasks were needed, she doesn't remember much laughter in her early childhood at all When she turned 10 turns old she was sold by her mother into slavery, anything to earn a few marks to buy whatever her mother couldn't steal, this wasn't much of a loss to Nefri as she'd never been showed a lot of love from her mother, her father... whoever he'd been was clearly nowhere in the picture. Nefri was fairly fortunate that she was sold to a kind master, a minor Holder who allowed his slaves/servants an education, certain freedoms that slaves elsewhere didn't get, but clearly were servants that had to do as they were told, this solidified her view on the world, that things were this way or that, no middle ground.

When she was around 13 turns old, a boy, younger than she'd been when she'd been bought, arrived at the Hold, and, while she wasn't a motherly person at all, took him under her wing a little and showed him the ropes before letting him get on with things, but they, at least to her, were friends of sorts, she knew how it was to be young and in slavery, even with a kind master. When she was searched 6 turns later by a visiting Western Weyr rider, she admitted even to herself that she was going to miss the boy she'd befriended, the 4 turns they'd spent in the lord holder's service giving them plenty of time for her at least, to trust and care about him as a good friend and someone she could rely on.

She spent the next 3 turns learning to not do every tiny little thing expected of her, that was tasked to the drudges, at first feeling lost and extremely awkward but learning quickly what was expected of her, but other candidates taking advantage of her nature often, something she still struggles with. 3 turns of failed Impressions, hoping for a green but being bypassed until that fateful hatching, the Gold egg having waited until halfway to hatch, and that was at a hard nudge from her sibling, forcing her egg to roll and crack, but she'd hidden beneath a half cracked egg, watching as her siblings impressed one after another. It wasn't until a green stood in front of Nefri, looking hard at her when the gold had stirred, hissing at the green, Impressing to Nefri, then profusely apologising to said green, but Nefri was hers, Frith's very own, but oh she was so sorry. Nefri had been stunned, she had been a slave, the best she'd expected was a green.. but a GOLD? ... she could never have dreamed such a soul was for her, to which Frith creeled, didn't Nefri want her? of course she did, Nefri could never ever deny her beautiful clumsy Gold, not even when, trying to step towards the feeding tables, Frith caught her leg with a claw as she tripped over her wings and somersaulted.

4 turns later, they settled into a happy partnership, Nefri learned to not let herself be taken advantage of, more for Frith's sake than her own, Frith was just always THERE, loving her, Frith learning to try and stand up for herself more, but mostly failing. When there was a double clutching, Nefri, and Frith, attended the first, Frith loving watching the little babies wander and find their partners, It was there, a particular Candidate, white robes offsetting blond locks and ice blue eyes that Nefri's heart skipped a beat, could it be? .. was that her old friend? It had been, her old friend Nadir, she made excuses to go and see him at times, so happy to see him, she'd thought of him often but had never found the time to go and visit her old Hold which made her feel bad. Especially when she caught glimpses of something in his eyes but she never pushed him, never suspected what he'd been through, she didn't even know that her old master had been forced out. Just weeks later when the second clutch hatched, she had cause to celebrate as he Impressed a dragon, a Bronze at that, she and Frith couldn't have been happier for her Nadir, her affection for him growing as time passed. 2 turns later and she's a little afraid to admit she loves him deeply.

Other: Doesn't do small critters that need special care (except when her dragon was small of course) Is not a fan of caring for flits, despite her dragon's protests that she needs some cute little small cousins.

DRAGON
Name: Frith
Age: 6 Turns
Color: Gold
Size: 48.5'
Physical Description: Frith Bruises easily, physically due to her pale hide and mentally due to her shy, people pleasing nature. She's a little larger than average but she seems to have oversized wings and feet for her size and was rather clumsy as a weyrling, as she grew she learned to be very precise about where she places her feet and she's careful to keep her wings tucked in whenever she doesn't need them. Build wise she's average for her size, neither too chunky, too muscly or too slim.

Personality: Sweet, loving but shy and cautious, she does NOT like having to act authoritatively, second guesses everything she does. Frith doesn't feel like she does a good job even though she works hard at whatever task she's given. When it comes to clutches however, no one gets near her eggs, babies, her rider has to impose her will hard on her for touchings and hatchings to happen without incidents. the father of the clutch will preferably assist in this and be there to help her chill out enough for her babies to find Theirs. Once all babies Impress however, she will be apologetic to every single person or dragon she was mean to, honest and from the depths of her hearts apologies to the point she will want to meet each new weyrling pair to assure herself they don't hold any bad feelings towards her. This nature also extends whenever she has someone to protect, or when fighting Thread, she goes from the sweetest, kindest gold you've ever met, into your worst nightmares. With Thread she is ruthless and if she misses any or someone misses it and it hurts another dragon, she'll come back with a harsh thought or an angry stab at the offender's mind, again though, once it's all over, she will apologise and try and work with those she was mentally vicious to. She HATES anyone being angry with her and will try and make it up to them however she can, her rider has a hard time making sure she doesn't deprecate herself on account of someone else's feelings. Frith ADORES children of any sort, be it human, dragon, flits, or any other critter really, she goes all melty and babbles nonsense around them. She will try and get her rider to get flit eggs and raise them just for her, Frith would love to be surrounded by a large, rainbow coloured Faire of them but so far, her rider has resisted this urge.

When her rider met her old friend, from an early age Frith found herself being around Sukaidith due to the want of her rider wanting to spend time with the bronze's rider, so a bond formed between the timid gold and the timid bronze, forming an attraction and genuine affection between the two awkward metallics, so much so Frith summoned up the courage to ask Sukaidith to be her Weyrmate, to her delight, he agreed and where one is, the other is surely not far away as long as work doesn't get between their cuddling that is.

When it comes to Flights, she's very unsure of herself, but her instinct is strong, her Flights are likely to be a prolonged dalliance, trying to asses each male on his own merits but would always choose Sukaidith if she could, whether he chases and catches or not, Sukaidith is her Weyrmate, preffering of course he can't always catch her, and as long as the male is happy to sire the clutch but leave Frith to love Sukaidith as she wants, she wouldn't feel any need to chase the male away, she'd never push him away from his babies, but he has to know Sukaidith is her Weyrmate, not the catching male.

**(Weyrmating with Sukaidith and possible weyrmating with N'dir approved by Dawns, who plotted with me and helped come up with the relationships)**

Okay, so... diving right in. First of all, she's a wingrider if she's from Western. If she's from HR she would be a junior weyrwoman. Where... is she from? You haven't seemed to pick a Weyr? I notice that you mention Western in the title but it's nowhere else. Please fix this.

I'm also really confused because there are no actual places mentioned in her profile at all. Where... is she? And who was that holder? (Note that it would be a holder, not a 'lord holder,' as only ranking characters hold that title, and they'd be NPCs.)

Slavery is only really "allowed" in a few places on Pern - those would be Bitra, Nabol, and Rivercrest Hold. Or maybe a smaller hold near one of those places. It's hugely taboo elsewhere and looked very much down upon - those holds have a bad reputation in part due to that.
