Name: Olivianna
Age: 34
Nameday: 13.07. 3542
Sexual Orientation: Demi
Weyr: Western Weyr
Rider Rank: Queen Rider
Previous Rank/Craft: Smithcraft Journeyman -Draftsman/Tinkerer
Physical Description: Olivianna always seems to have some sort of mess on her, even before impression and the return of thread. Grease, oils, soot, stains and burns, it was just a part of her job, creating the necessary components for other craft halls and she is good at it. Her black hair is cropped close in a helmet like style at chin length. Her skin is warm brown from sun and spotted with burns. She is lanky tall at 6'0'' and has a snaggle tooth and yeah, she might not be pretty but she is explosive!

Personality: Olivianna is a lot of things, heavily passionate about her work, Mercedeth, her hobbies, to the point she can become obnoxious about it. She just doesn't seem to get how everyone else can't understand how great her work is and she can get patronizing trying to explain it. You must understand! She will make sure you do. It takes a lot to rein her in, and it might just be easier to let her purge her ideas, understanding or not till she take a break and then slow her down.

This can also lead to her be abrupt and sarcastic as a defense, you might just want her to shut up and now she going to take it personally and terribly and she can be just a terror of cutting words. She just wanted to share and if you can weather the sudden upset she can be a great friend, offering a true apology. She really shouldn't have said that but yeah, impulsive much? She is. She really really is. Easy to fly off and then regret.

But beyond that, she is a reliable and prepared person always on time and with her gear and extra, and with will and ambition to pull off what she is set on doing and more. She always willing to lend a hand and help out her fellows in destroying thread.

Positive Trait List ambitious, reliable, prepared, passionate
Negative Trait List sarcastic, obnoxious, patronizing, abrupt, skeptical

History:Olivianna grew up the youngest of three and of smithcrafters, she had always been enamored with creating, from silversmithing to sword to simple tinkering, watching them bend metal to their will and shape it into something different, something useful. She just needed to know how to do it. Never the most lady like and constantly underfoot her parents gave up at trying to get her in a more safe and delicate craft at 13 and went fine, here you go.

And she just took off. Olivia loved her craft and her skills and she just devoured it all. It was just so exciting. She had set her sights on obtaining her masters and finding better ways to craft things, better way to fix a handle, better way to design a hand. Going to Western wery for a hatchling was not expected, but she had plans to talk to others and network a bit. She never thought of impressing, considering herself to crass and involved in dangerous things to ever be considered.

Mercedeth though, Mercedeth thought differently and they been together ever since. She really considers Mercedeth to be her better half and keep her from being too impulsive and sharp tongued.
Other:Has a gold flit named Mercy

DRAGON
Name: Mercedeth
Age:6
Color: Gold
Size: 102'
Physical Description: Mercedeth is a very large gold... it actually might be better off to say she is a long gold. She is a lanky dragon, with quiet a lot of tail and neck. She is also a bit of a clumsy dragon. She seems to misplace her tail and her feet quiet a bit. While she is clumsy on land, she is a sleek thing in the air.
Personality: Mercedeth is a sweet dragon, she is a bundle of cheer and bright sunshine and gentle consideration and so so courteous. Some might say she is the better half of the pair, gently reigning in Olivanna more acidic personality. Sometimes just smothering her in warmth and soft love till she calms down and stop for a moment.

She is also terribly absentminded, she forgets things easily and Olivianna is the one keeping her on time important things. She also horribly indecisive, food, flights, suitors, which one is better ooh dear, what if she chooses wrong and it hurts the other or if someone else wanted that. She doesn't want to hurt anyone, even as she is driven to choose, usually just letting it end with who ever put the most effort into the flight.

She also clumsy on land and it not unusual for her to misstep or miscalculate and accidently bump into another. Terribly sorry lovely, unless she has a clutch of eggs, then she is an elegant maternal terror, gently turning them, checking up on them, side eyeing the candidates, the sir, the weyr leaders. Olivianna of course can be by her side, but things are going to happen on her time or not at all.

1. Olivia will need to be altered to something not quite so Terran. Some variation might work.
2. She needs an actual full Nameday, including Turn. If she's 34 and her Nameday was 13.07, it would be 3542.13.07.
3. Chemist does not exist as a specialty under any Craft. Although Smiths do deal with chemicals and acids, it's not to the extent that they understand the periodic table, chemistry, or anything like that. Not like we do, anyway. The level of information received from AIVAS is not what some other shops may have had. The most advanced location on Pern at this time is Landing, and the information there is highly specialized and restricted. It not widely or openly shared with any other part of Pern.
4. I'm going to need more detail in both her personality, her history, and her dragon's personality. It doesn't have to be a novel, but they aren't newborn. What have they done since Impression? Has Threadfall's return impacted them at all? At least a solid paragraph from her personality would help to establish some of the traits like her ambition, patronizing nature, etc. I can see where mention her ambition, but how does it affect her daily life, etc.? Listing personality traits out is not a good substitution for writing them in a bit more details.

Again, she's not a Candidate, so I don't need it to be a novel.

Great start overall! Just need to iron out some details and make a few adjustments here and there.
