Name: Marsana
Age: 29 Turns
Nameday: 3547:01:04
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: I have no clue.
Weyr: Western Weyr
Rider Rank: Wingrider
Previous Rank/Craft: Blacksmith
Physical Description: An average sized woman with thick, dark hair that she desperately attempts to tame, a smattering of freckles, and blue-grey eyes. She’s on the chubbier side, and quite self-conscious about it.
Personality: At first, second, and third glances, Marsana seems like a quiet, shy sort of person. She's unerringly polite, always minding her manners and acting cordially. She dons her etiquette like a shield of sorts, using it in all social situations. She's uneasy about letting anyone past her barriers, for she just knows that they'll be disappointed when they see more of the real her.
Marsana has never been quite comfortable in her own skin. She lacks her mother's thick hide and takes things personally, quietly worrying over blunt words or actions for days after the fact. She isn't anything special, in her mind, and secretly envies the near-brazen confidence her younger sister possesses. Both her mother and sister have a beauty to them that words can't describe. Marsana, on the other hand, feels herself much like a wher among queens. She would never dare voice her feelings, fearing it would cause conflict or that the matter would be dismissed as silly. Such thoughts plague her from time to time, though admittedly much less now that she has Neolith.
If appointed a task or chore, Marsana hops to it without question. The structure of Weyr life is something she easily took to and has no problem obeying an order from someone higher in command. In truth, it's almost a relief to have someone telling her what to do, but Marsana is more than just a mindless wherry. Her hand does not need to be held in order for her to see what needs to be done, and once set on the proper path, she is a quick and effective worker. She doesn't dawdle, and will never give anything less than her all while making sure to keep things timely. Doing things well is important, but so is doing them efficiently.
Positive Trait List Dutiful, Efficient, Polite

History: The second child of Goldrider Sura, Marsana was born at Western Weyr and has lived there for her entire life. She spent equal amounts of time in the creche and with her mother, and once she had younger siblings, she did her best to dote upon them. As soon as she was able to be trusted with the tools of her mother’s trade, Marsana showed a vested interest in blacksmithing. She was more interested in improving her skills at the craft than Standing, for secretly she didn’t think she would be worthy of a dragon. She lacked the confidence and certainty of her mother and Thaideem, her sister--surely she would be more useful elsewhere, like Smithcraft.
She likely would have wandered off to the Crafthold properly at some point, even if she was a little older. Thread’s untimely return changed all of that in an instant. Marsana felt as though it was her duty to at least Stand, now when dragonriders were needed more than ever. She never truly did think a dragon would find her to be rider material.
A slightly larger blue hatchling had managed to break free of his egg--only to realize he hadn’t been the first! With orange eyes and an enormous huff of displeasure, the sulky hatchling stalked right towards the young woman. Marsana stepped away quickly, knowing she shouldn’t get in his path--only for the blue to step right after her with a perplexed tilt of his head. Marsana-mine, I know your Neolith was not the first… but I promise, that won’t happen again!
She nearly sat down right there on the burning sands out of shock. From that day forward, Neolith became her life. They’ve been training hard to fight Thread, and their encounters have gone smoothly so far with only a few scores to show for it. Even more exciting, Thaideem has recently Impressed a green--not that Marsana ever doubted a dragon wouldn’t want her!
Other: Daughter of Sura, sister of Thaideem (both played by Pach) and two other siblings not yet in play!
DRAGON
Name: Neolith
Age: 4
Color: Blue
Size: 56’'
Physical Description: Neolith is a larger blue, though he would never be considered bulky or muscular. He is finely proportioned, though his headknobs seem to curve downwards ever so slightly.
Personality: Neolith could be considered a little old fashioned in some circles - he's perfectly content to be a blue and do what a blue does. However, just because he is content being a blue doesn't mean he wants to settle for being a forgettable one. It is better to be the head of a Firelizard than the tail of a Wher as far as he is concerned. So while he may not be considered ambitious, having little desire to try and rise to status and import, he is very competitive.
Drills? He's working his hardest to show off his best side. Flights? What's a competitor next to him? Neolith will leave an impression and for all the right reasons. That said, he has a bit of an ego and one he has intended since he was first shelled to earn every bragging right to. He also tends to be a sore loser and will rely on His to temper that fire in him when it gets too hot.
Neolith will be inclined to have grand rivalries - partially for the competition and partially for the sheer idea of it.
