About the character:
Name: Veekally
Pronunciation: Vee-cal-EE
Age: 17 (5m.16d.2690AL)
Rank: Holdless/Wares Trader
Gender: Female
Orientation: Heter
Family
Mother: Kallymae-Died at 36(south of South Sands Hold)-Senior Journeywoman GlassSmith
Father: Veedan-Died at 40(south of South Sands Hold)-Senior Weaver Trader
Sibling: Dankal-12-Holdless-Nova Weyr, Alldan-7-Holdless-Nova Weyr
Weyrmate/Lover: None
Children: None
Other: Foster Sister(Cousin) Siala-7-Holdless-Nova Weyr
Physical Description: Veekally is what some might say pretty if you could get past the horrible scar that stretches across her golden tanned face from the right side of her slightly crooked nose to nearly her ear and down to almost her collar bone, the result of an experience that she would rather forget for all time. Long golden hair falls in tangles from natural curling to the middle of her back. When she gets the chance to tame it, it will shine in the sunlight and fall to her waist when left loose. Eyes of a dark evergreen are usually watchful and constantly shifting from one thing to another wherever she is. Worn clothing with rough patchwork is often seen in muted shades of browns and greens with a simple dress of a light tan coloring that is carefully tucked away in hopes of someday wearing it again. Her dark brown boots are practically non-existent as they have been worn to the point that she walks on the inner soles and the laces barely hold it tied about her ankles. She is constantly seen chewing on a peppermint twig with her golden hair pulled away from her face with a loose golden colored hairclip that had belonged to her mother at one time.
Personality: Veekally is very quiet, yet subtly commanding, but when the need calls for it, she can be loud. She has more of a motherly nature that comes from caring for her two little brothers and a cousin that she sees as a sister for the last two turns by herself. She will work hard to provide for her charges, herself more often than not going without food or drink for longer periods of time to ensure that the other three have enough. Any marks she earns go to her siblings first, thus why their appearances are far better than her own. Since the incident in the desert near South Sands Hold, she has been slowly working her way north on foot with a runner carrying their belongings, Veekally’s hopes are that the Weyr will take them in when they get there.
History: Veekally was born in the Craft Hall to a Journeywoman GlassSmith and soon after travelled Pern with her father’s family. Along the way, everything was well and fine and normal for the young girl, getting two brothers along the way to complete their small family. They always tread softly around the southern Holdings due to rumors of dragonriders forcing young children to go with them and no one ever seeing them again.
It was Veekally’s 15th turn that turned her happy life upside down. As they were travelling to the southern Cot Holds of South Sands Hold, dragons attacked their small caravan. Anyone who fought was quickly dispatched by either dragon or small-statured rider. In fleeing from them, Veekally was struck by the tail of a green dragon and, had it not been for the panic and adrenaline running through her, she would have certainly been taken or killed. Scrambling to her feet, she ran toward the end of the caravan, only to find her youngest brother and cousin crying in fright. She hid with them for several moments before hearing wagons getting torn apart. Grabbing both of the 5-turners in her arms, she dashed again, grabbing a runner that hadn’t gotten loose just yet. Shoving the two ‘brats atop the big runner, she climbed up herself and had just about taken off but the shout of her other brother stopped her. Forcing the frightened runner to stay until her brother caught up, she helped him climb up and he held onto their cousin as Veekally let the runner go, holding on to her youngest brother. It was not until several marks later that the runner tired in the dark and they stopped. It was then that Veekally started feeling the warm stickiness of blood and the throbbing of pain in her face, neck, and shoulder. She passed out that night and woke to unfamiliar walls late the next day. Her brother had gone looking for help and had found it in a Cot Holder nearby and they took the four of them in. They stayed long enough for Veekally’s wound to heal enough to allow travel, Veekally and her brother, Dankal, helping wherever they could to earn a keep. They thanked the hospitality of the Cot Holders before leaving to wander toward the Weyr.
Slowly moving throughout the Holds in the shortest routes possible, Veekally often worked a few sevendays in each to earn herself and her brothers and cousin food, clothing, and marks before heading out again, staying the cold seasons at Inns the longest they possibly could before leaving. Now, after two turns of traveling, the small group has finally made it to Nova Weyr and are hoping for admittance and a permanent place to stay, believing that the rest of their families are gone from the dragon attacks, even though Alldan is quite sick and Veekally has a cold of sorts…

Name: Tanya
Species: Runnerbeast
Age: 10
Description: Tanya is a large and long-bodied, stocky mare with a black mane and tail, her dun coat a light sandy coloring with a dark stripe along her spine, fading into black from her knees and hocks to her hooves. She is even tempered and willing, though can be frightened on occasion, but never so badly that she downright refuses to listen to her rider’s wishes. She likes youngsters and it shows in her affections for the two ‘brats that are constantly on her back during their travels.
