physical description: Lyrensa is 5'10" and thin. She is muscular, but not overly so. Her muscles come from helping her parents care for their dragons, so she is still lithe, but strong. She also keeps in shape to keep up a good image as a Healer. She has long, dark blonde hair that she keeps tied in a bun at the nape of her neck. Her eyes are a deep chocolate brown that turn a muddy color when she is upset. Her facial features are feminine, but strong. She is definitely not fragile-looking. She isn't necessarily pretty at first glance, but she has a different kind of beauty that is hard to understand.
personality: Lyrensa is also a strong emotional figure. She doesn't have the tough-girl attitude, but she is slow to show what she is feeling most of the time. She is the kind of person who would rather endure the pain she's going through than admit she's in pain, be it physical or emotional. This all goes out the window when she is severely stressed out. She finds it difficult to handle stress and will frequently have emotional breakdowns when something stresses her to the breaking point (usually this is physical exhaustion that stresses her out, rather than emotional stress, due to her tendency to overwork herself in the infirmary)
She is hard to get to know because she keeps a lot of things to herself. However, Lyrensa is hardly cold or standoffish. She is friendly and quick to lend a helping hand. Because Lyrensa doesn't like to show what she is feeling, she doesn't have violent displays of anger. She gets annoyed easily, and the only way you can tell is if she is biting her lip. When she gets frustrated, she chews on her lower lip. She doesn't do that when she's nervous like some. When she's angry, she just focuses on her family. The only time she ever shows an abundance of emotion (other than when she's stressed out) is when she is with her 4-Turn-old son. She has a good work ethic and knows how to get things done. Despite being only an apprentice, she is a great leader and has this sort of presence that causes others to naturally follow what she says. Her abilities cause her to be slightly cocky at times, but she tries to be humble. She tends to feel responsible for people she "outranks" (mostly junior apprentices and drudges) and takes up leadership over them.
history: Lyrensa was born a weyrbrat to greenrider Varensa and brownrider L'yon. So naturally, she knows a lot about dragons because she travelled on dragonback long before she was old enough to Impress. Her parents always expected her to Impress, but they never thought she'd be a goldrider. Lyrensa wasn't too much of a trouble to her parents. She wasn't necessarily a weyrbrat, but possibly a weyrimp. She was known for playing mischievous jokes on the cooks and once stole a string from the unattended guitar of a visiting apprentice Harper. However, she soon matured out of that when she was twelve. Her mother was killed by an accidental scorching during a wing drill and her beautiful chartreuse-green, Lizalith, went between in anguish. The keening of the dragons that night was so painful for Lyrensa. To this day she breaks down every time she hears the keening of dragons.
Following her mother's death, Lyrensa ran off to the Craft Complex to be a Healer. She wanted to find a way to prevent Thread from hurting dragonriders in the sky. Lyrensa studied hard and was always deeply immersed in medicinal books. She would have achieved her senior apprenticeship status just after her 16th birthday, but her father became ill. She traveled back to the weyr to tend to her father, after much pleading with the journeyman who was switching posts at the time. When the Master Healer returned to the Craft Complex after seeing that L'yon was well again, he left and Lyrensa stayed behind at the weyr. It was then that she met R'dan, who was then Rilldan. They fell in love: two weyrbrats happily in love at the weyr. A year after Rilldan stood on the Sands and Impressed brown Saxuth, Lyrensa discovered she was pregnant. Lyrendan was born the day after R'dan graduated from weyrling class. For awhile, Lyrensa lived in R'dan's weyr with Lyrendan, but then before she turned 19, she was sent to the Candidates' barracks in hopes of Impressing. Recently, R'dan contracted Cloudlung after Searching a Candidate and the disease quickly claimed his life.

If dragonrider:
dragon name: Brigith
dragon age: 1 month
dragon size: 27 feet
physical description: 99BBCC - Brigith is a soft blue-gray, like the color of good steel. She is average sized, around 27 feet long, and though she is fit, she has a roundness to her that makes her look soft and welcoming. Her hide is marked with dark gray flames and flecks of sooty gray that look like ashes and floating sparks. She also has a strange mark on her chest, sort of a three armed spiral that matches the marking from her egg, and as on the Egg, it brings to mind the number three.
personality: Brigith is a nurturing and motherly dragon. She wants to make sure everyone is fed and cared for, and will try to soothe the hurts of all her clutchmates. She is sweet of disposition, but strong as well, and is a great dragon to have around in a tragedy. She’s good with children and animals, and also quite good with words. She always knows the right thing to say, though she doesn’t tend towards the flowery language. One thing odd about her, is that she’ll want to make things. Not being a clutching dragon, Brigith has such a strong creative impulse and a desire to leave something behind after her that she may start a tradition of draconic arts and crafts.
She’s an optimist who’ll encourage everyone to look on the bright side and keep moving forward despite difficulty. Like her gray sister Athenath, she has an excellent memory, but she isn’t a vast repository of knowledge. She is quite a storyteller though, and won’t mind entertaining herds of of firelizards, hatchlings, or even human children with her tales. To her lifemate, she’ll be a constant source of love and support, and will always make sure they take care of themselves, though her mother-henning might get a bit annoying.
pets:
name(s): Fariah and Radko
species: fire lizard
age(s): 4 Turns
description: Fariah is a dark, olive green fire lizard. For a green, she is absolutely humongous, bigger than the average queen. Because of this, she is not very fast. However, she has great strength and stamina. Her mate is usually blue Radko, simply because he is usually the only fire lizard around her when she rises. He is a medium blue, the typical blue on a primary colors color wheel. He is bulky and muscular, but of a medium-size. So basically, he is average. / They are both comical in nature, always acting like clowns. They do tend to resent the importance and priority of Brigith over them, especially since they were with Lyrensa first. They are easily frightened and zip between spastically.
Acquired: R'dan and Lyrensa were walking together along the sands and stumbled upon a queen's clutch hatching. They both had food, as they were going to have a picnic outdoors to get away. R'dan was able to Impress a bronze and a green, named Kofar and Radiah.
