physical description:
Antera comes from a family of tall ladies, so one must wonder why this trait skipped her. Standing at five feet five inches, she was dwarfed by her sisters and brothers all nearing six feet. Using this to her advantage against her younger siblings, Antera never felt bad about her height. Her slender frame matches her shorter stature giving her a fragile look that doesn't exactly fit her forceful personality. Nor does it show her twenty-two turns as a rider.
The most stunning thing about Antera is her white blonde hair. When she was born, she looked just like her mother dark hair and light eyes but the shock of losing her family and home in one swift blow forced her hair white. It was a slow process, but over the past twenty turns the once brunette young lady has turned into a white haired old crone. Now this hasn't made her into an ugly crone, far from it. Age has gentled the harsh beauty. If nothing else she has become more stunning than she had been as a fresh faced teen.

personality: Abrasive, Irritable, Obsessive, Devoted
Antera was once a sweet girl, but life has a way of turning one upside down. First the shock of Impressing a green over a traditional queen and the resulting teasing and taunts, then the loss of everything she knew made the once brunette girl bitter and harsh. As a defense against more changes, Antera has become abrasive. She had pushed everyone away with her rude and snarky behavior, and is quick to anger now. Only Minth knows the true Antera locked deep inside the harsh woman she is now.
Since their jump forward in time, Antera has become obsessive over Lord K'ain. She will not hear a harsh word nor a ill thought about her beloved leader. She hopes that one day he'll accept her as his mate, but knows this is not likely to happen. Everything the white haired woman does now is to please her lord and her dragon. They are all she has to live for now.
If she is obsessive over K'ain it is nothing compared to the devotion to her Green Minth. The light green dragon saved her life during their two hundred and fifty turn jump. This is a debt the woman can never repay, but each day she does her sharding best to make life easier for her green. Nothing but the best is given to Minth, unless the unfortunate soul wishes to tangle with Antera's wrath.
history:
Born the oldest child of Shantyna and Meran, Antera grew up believing she would be a drudge like her parents. As her siblings swelled the family numbers, Antera discovered her love of children. So as she grew she became a crèche attendant like her maiden aunt. Together Aunt Tynalie and Antera raised the younger children of the family and hold.
One day a Search rider came to Benden Hold to find Candidates for an upcoming clutch. They found Antera, the shortest in her family, to be the only one suited for being a rider. Shocked, scared, and in awe of her good fortune Antera bid farewell to her family not knowing that moment would be the last she saw of them. If she knew the events of the next two turns she might have refused that very moment to leave home.
She didn't and so she left home in a flurry of well wishes. The next month was a blur as she settled in and got used to her new home. Hatching day came and like all ladies on the Sands, she expected to Impress a gold or nothing. But the eggs had other plans. A small egg cracked among the first of the day. A small light colored green spilled from the remains and found her way to the white robed females. The baby knew who she wanted, and she needed a lady. Antera's grey eyes met rainbow swirls and learned her green's name matched her hide: Hi, Antera. My name is Minth. Isn't it a lovely name? I'm so glad you're here today. I knew you would be here. But why so far away? Don't you want me? With those words, Antera was lost. Here was the half of her heart she had been seeking.
Their weyrling days flew by in a whirlwind of lessons and giggles, taunts and tears. They were the only female pair in their class, one pair of the very few in the weyr it's self. This opened them to a lot of ridicule and shunning, teasing and taunts. To protect herself and her Minth, Antera began the road to bitterness and harsh comebacks. By the time they graduated, Antera had a reputation of a cold hearted woman.
Then on a routine mission, the unspeakable, unbelievable happened. The whole wing jumped forward in time. For Minth it wasn't a huge deal, though it took her a while to settle into their new home that the wing leader had found for them. For Antera it was the end of her world. Everything she knew and once held dear was gone. This shock was the final push. She became the bitter woman everyone expected her to be. Her hair slowly showed on the outside what her heart had become: a frozen waste land warmed only for Minth and Lord K'ain.

If dragonrider:
dragon name: Minth, Green Main Body: #00C78C Head-knobs: #00C78B
dragon age: 22 turns
dragon size: 22 feet nose-tip to tail-tip
physical description:
Minth is an average size green measuring twenty-two feet. Everything about her is average: wing size, tail length. Everything excluding her head-knobs that is. Each one is slightly darker than the rest of her pale green hide almost as if she has a crown or a dragon equivalent of hair. But even the darker color is lighter than most giving Minth a creamy appearance. One other flaw is the small scar winding down a tail tip from her Maiden Flight when a suitor tried to catch her before she chose.
personailty: Absent-minded, Curious, Dainty, Trusting.
Minth is as flighty as a green could be. She's easily distracted and insatiably curious. This has caused several instances that forced Antera to be protective of her green. Minth also is a dainty little green, always careful of her creamy hide and pleasing her rider. The two things she takes pride in. Due to her natural curiosity and her wandering mind, Minth is a very trusting dragon, often over looking past problems for the sake of friendships.
