Physical Description: Of average height, Kanretia does not stand out, but she sure does not hide either wearing clothing of brighter shades of blues and greens and the occasional wild color. Even her flight gear is of brighter coloring, being a shade or two of green. Her somewhat long light brown hair falls in waves to the middle of her back and is braided up to fit under her helmet during drills or styled oddly but prettily quite often due to her second youngest son. Her eyes are a cheery hazel, more green than brown and laugh lines can be seen. She has small scarring on her hands from her chosen trade aside from dragonriding, but no other distinguishing marks can be found on her tanned skin save for stretch marks from having had children, but she has remained slim like other dragonriding women who are plenty active.
Personality: Having had four children, all of which boys, Kanretia can be slightly strict, but she is cheery, always wanting to see a smile over a frown. Even though she rides a dragon, she has managed to keep her boys in her life thanks to her Lover and their father. With family comes joy and she has no lack of that. Her cheeriness is often catchy and others find it hard not to smile when she is around. Creative and determined to finish her tasks accurately, she is an asset to any wing in the sky and also to anyone who needs a favor. She is tough and strong for a woman, but she thanks her boys for that.
History: Born in the cool season of Nova Weyr as the result of a mating flight, Kanretia only ever knew weyrlife. The dragons, the bustle of people, the mating flights, everything. She learned what she could whenever she could, always finding a new face to talk to. It was one of those new faces that she met as a weyrbrat in her eleventh turn that made her decide on a craft should she not follow in her parents' footsteps and become a rider: Glass Smithing. She loved the idea of making something so fragile that it was meant to be treasured and that she did, learning the basics with ease. She specialized more in trinkets of sorts, her mind often elsewhere when there would be a clutch on the Sands or one due to be laid.
On her Seventeenth birthing day, her parents gave her the gift of a miniature dragon egg since she had so badly wanted to Impress but had never been Searched and had only Stood a few times, having given up on Impression after those few times. From that firelizard egg hatched a curious brown and it did not take long for Kanretia to find a name for him: Intrigue.
In her eighteenth turn, she found love after a goldflight when she wound up in bed with a visiting GlassSmith and that started the two's relationship. They grew close and in Kanretia's twentieth turn, she attempted Impression just one more time before she was too old. And of course, luck or fate happened and green Oceanth chose her as her own. Weyrlinghood was hard on Kanretia because she was forced to stay away from her lover and as soon as she graduated, she sought him out to hopefully pick up what they had started.
Even though he did not ride a dragon, they made it work, him accepting the fact that she would end up rolling in the furs with another man whenever Oceanth rose. She was handfasted to him at twenty-four turns and the following turn her first son to her lover was born. Since Miklar had set up his 'shop' in the Weyr, it was of no surprise that neither fostered their son out. They did not even foster when Kanretia had another son in spring of her twenty-sixth turn. She had one more son in her twenty-seventh turn, then the couple's relationship grew a bit rough. Miklar wanted to return to his home in South Sands Hold.
They worked it out and decided that Miklar's family could help them out when both seemed just a bit too busy to care for three boys, so Miklar, and their three children transferred to South Sands Hold in Kanretia's twenty-eighth turn, Kanretia returning as often as possible to be with her children. At twenty-nine, she had her last son and decided that four was enough.
In the past several turns, she has lost her father, a brother, and two sisters to Cloudlung, their dragons slipping Between in their passing, but she continues to press onward, finding that little smile hidden in any situation.
Now her oldest son is twenty, her youngest sixteen, and Nova Weyr has called for Candidates. Why not change the scenery once more for her boys? So, Kanretia helped them transfer to the Weyr as Candidates, save for her youngest lad who stayed behind with her husband for he did not have the right that the other three had of being weyrbred...Kanretia has taken a notice in the female Assistant Candidate Master position since none has been present for many a turn since the first outbreak of Cloudlung.
Craft Information:
Craft: GlassSmithing
Rank: Journeywoman
Speciality: Trinkets and Keepsakes

Figure? Yes
If dragonrider:
Dragon Name: Oceanth
Dragon Age: 25
Dragon Size: 23 feet
Physical Description: She is a misty color like that of a sea before a storm. The greenish glow of watery depths swirling and splashing about with lighter areas of a foamy look and shade here and there. She is just right in size, neither too long nor wide, but gently muscled and lean. Her wings are just right for her, her long neck graceful when she moves, and her chiseled head always held high with pride.
Personality: She has hardly got a temperament at all, unless she is getting close to rising. Usually quite docile and gentle, especially with littles, she has unusual patience for a green dragon. When in the air, she is all business and determination to do things right, making her quite the handy one in drills and thread fall when it should come. In mating flights, she is temperamental, one moment deciding this brown, then going for that blue a few moments later or settling with the one at the back of the pack.
Pets:
Name: Intrigue
Species: Firelizard
Age: 28
Description: A deep, dark brown and small, he is a bit pudgy at the sides but long and lean otherwise. Wings are a bit short for his size, but he can still fly among the best. Black smudges cover his forepaws from numerous encounters with 'those warm glowy things' his Pet makes pretty shiny things on.
Personality: Curious. Easily mesmerized. Forgetful. Intrigue is just that. Nearly anything will catch his attention and draw him closer until it gets him, his Pet says no, or he gets it. He is usually quite content to sit and watch his Pet work on coals, sometimes moving too close and singeing his paws, but he seems never to learn that the glowy things are hot. Do not even ask him to
carry a message unless it is somewhere close, because it would never get there otherwise.
