physical description:Tesni is about 5'5" with a lean but wiry build. Her shoulders are somewhat wide, and her hips somewhat narrow, but she has some curves on top of the muscle. She calls herself 'sturdily built' and it is true, for although she is quite clumsy, she rarely gets injured. Her hair is kept short and scruffy, and so blond its nearly white, and her wide eyes are blue or grey depending on lighting. Her skin is nearly the color of milk and she burns easily, so she often keeps covered up in the summer. She has a head shape she refers to as an upside down egg. Her brows are straight, and her nose is round and slightly upturned. She does have a pretty mouth, small and full with a pronounced cupid's bow, but since she's often smirking with it, its hard to tell. Overall, she has a very young face and if it weren't for her breasts she'd often be confused for a teenage boy. Her favorite colors are green and orange and she often wears them with little regard to whether they actually match. She likes her pants to have many pockets and abhors dressing up unless absolutely necessary. But she does like jewelry, especially silver and copper.
personality: Tesni is a complex person, sometimes she can be as bright as a sunbeam, others shes more like a stormcloud. She likes meeting people one on one, and can be extremely talkative if she likes the person, but in large crowds she becomes nervous and withdrawn. She's quite intelligent, but seems to occasionally fail in the common sense department and is also extremely clumsy at times and both for the same reason. She's a born dreamer and forgets what's going on in the real world because what's going on in her head is so interesting. She loves to laugh and to make others laugh, though her sense of humor may tend towards the dark, filthy, or sarcastic at times. She prefers to have a few deep friendships rather than many casual ones, and she also tends to keep her weyrmates for a long times. She's a hopeless romantic. She is affectionate as a friend and lover but the affection of strangers makes her uncomfortable. Tesni is mostly laid back, and tends to avoid confrontation, but has no patience with stupidity or willful ignorance. She tends to brood about things that bother her, sometimes for days. Mostly she eventually vents to a friend and the anger goes away, but just occasionally, her stewing causing an angry tirade at the offending party that often ends with her crying. She doesn't cry often, and in fact, feels it is a sign of weakness to show her feelings that way, but if she cries, it is usually from anger or frustration rather than sadness. Tesni loves animals, especially flits, felines and canines, and also children. She's a good listener, and usually a sympathetic friend, but as a Healer, can be somewhat brusque to those who she believes to be overstating their injuries, or using injury or illness to get out of work. She absolutely abhors whining, perhaps because she herself is remarkably tolerant of physical pain.
She also loves knowledge. She enjoys the Records room and is considered a repository of odd trivia. She loves music and plays the drums and sings fairly well, though she says she's not coordinated enough for a more complicated instrument. She also loves and is good at telling stories, though she can occasionally get a bit long-winded. She had a vivid imagination, which can make her both extremely creative and a worrywart. She has a slight rebellious streak and is somewhat of an idealist, which is often at war with her more logical side. She's a bit of a slob. Although she loves men, and is somewhat in love with love as well, she also loathes the idea of giving up the independence she has as a the rider of a fighting dragon and any partner she had would have to accept that.
history:Tesni was born of a brief and ill considered alliance between an eighteen turn old Holder girl and a journeyman farmer in Azure Isle Hold. When Liani found out she was pregnant, Tevin was overjoyed. He had always wanted children. But he hadn't really counted on having a wife that was demanding, whining, expected to be treated like a princess and do nothing but have children. So although he loved his little daughter with all his heart, Tesni was only two Turns old when Tevin left for good, only sending the occasional letter. Meanwhile, Liani needed another man, and she found one fairly quickly in a local Beastcrafter named Bernam. They moved to Carena Hold and proceeded to have many children, five to be exact. They were all physically and mentally cast right in the image of their aggressive, bullheaded, but insecure father. Which Tesni was not. This did not make for a very happy childhood. Tesni was the butt of every joke and the blame for every problem, though Bernam was much too conscious of his image as a wonderful parent to really hurt her, he did everything he could to make Tesni feel worthless and unloved. Liani, meanwhile, seemed to only care for her children when they were babies and mainly left them to Tesni to care for (and her husband to discipline) once they began to show their own personalities. Tesni found it hard to make friends, mostly she was too busy, and Bernam did not allow her to socialize much, but she found solace in all the animals there were around their home. Liani had always been one to collect strays.
When she was seven, her real father got remarried, and his wife encouraged him to have more contact with his daughter. So Tesni got to see him every summer at Crooked River. Those were happy times in her life and it was there, when she was ten that she discovered a wild flit nest and Impressed her brown, Itzal. Her teachers noticed her intelligence and kindness, so they encouraged her parents to send her to Healer Hall, or perhaps Harper Hall to train. Her stepfather, of course, refused. He didn't care much for Healers and Harpers and besides, Tesni was needed around the house, he said. But Tevin had different ideas, and he managed somehow to get her apprenticed to Healer Hall anyway. There, Tesni really blossomed with the company of like-minded peers and the praise of her teachers and became closer to the strong, independent woman she is today.
She was getting near to her nineteenth birthday, and also, she hoped, to her journeyman knots, when Search came to the Hall. Tesni had always loved the dragons, but being a dragonrider had only ever entered into her wildest dreams when she received her Search token. And off to Nova Weyr she went, to a whole new life. But she wore her Candidate robes only a week before the Eggs Hatched and Kaitoth was hers. Then came Weyrling training. It went fairly smoothly, except for the occasional punishment duty for not keeping her area clean and Kaitoth and Tesni graduated with good marks. After her weyrling training was over, she resumed her training as a Healer under a mentor, and made journeyman at age 21. Meanwhile, it was discovered that Kaitoth possessed Search potential, so they spent a year of Searchrider training, and then were allowed to Search on their own. They are counted a very successful Search pair. Tesni bought another flit egg last turn which hatched into gray Indra.

If dragonrider:
dragon name: Kaitoth
dragon age: 8
dragon size: 26 feet
physical description: Kaitoth is a little smaller than a average for a blue, but nothing out of the ordinary. Like his rider he is lean and wiry, but is more long and sinuous, lacking her stocky frame. His hide is rich turquoise shading into deep aqua blue on his underside and is swirled and flecked with the palest sky blue, giving an overall impression of moving water. In the sky, like most blues, he is quick and agile. He has a reputation for being somewhat of an acrobat, capable of quick turns and neat landings, though he has less strength than some of his color.
personailty:Kaitoth is a temperamental dragon, prone to quick changes in mood. He can be merry and light one minute and melancholy the next, and Tesni spends a lot of time soothing his imagined slights and calming his hyperactivity. He does love His deeply, defers to her when she tells him to, though he tries to keep secrets from her if he can, more out of a sense of rebelliousness than anything. But he isn't lazy, in fact, he's quite restless for a dragon and has trouble keeping still even when sleeping. He is talkative though, and usually friendly, and has an ability to fit in with any group seemingly, which is helpful with an often traveling Searchdragon. He's vocal in bad temper though, but luckily his bad moods are passing, and like most dragons, he forgets easily.
pets:
name(s):Itzal
species:brown flit
age(s):17
description:Appearance:Itzal is a very dark brown, the color of klah without milk. His hide is nearly unmarked except for a tan crescent shape on his forehead and a small tan star on his underbelly. He is large for a brown, but not bulky. Instead he has the lean sinuousness of a feline, with all their grace. His muzzle is somewhat angular, and he has a loud, sharp voice
Personality:Itzal is first of all, extremely affectionate. He lives for the affection of his pet and will debase himself in most a most undignified manner to secure her attention. Otherwise, he's fairly laid back, tending not to react to disruption and to view new people as interesting new vehicles of petting. He is somewhat vain and responds well to flattery. About the only thing he's demanding about is food. He's pretty loud when he is hungry.
name(s):Indra
species:gray flit
age(s): 9 months
description:
Indra is light gray banded with dark gray, and very small and delicate looking, keeping some of the look of the hatchling even into adulthood. Her stomach and feet are so pale they are nearly white and she has interesting facial striping.
Indra is quite affectionate like Itzal, and she is especially fond of face nuzzling, but unlike Itzal, her affection is only for her pet and she tends to hide from strangers. She wants affection, but on her terms. She's also much stupider than her brown friends. She's quite playful and mischievous and has yet to be broken of destroying the property of her pet for the fun of it. But she's so cute, its hard to be mad at her.
