The Basics
[/li][li]Name: Relira
[/li][li]Age: 18
[/li][li]Gender: Female
[/li][li]Rank: Rider
Physical
[/li][li]Hair: Black-blue straight hair is left loosely to lay about the middle of her back. It is slightly wavy and fizzy thanks to a year of wind abuse and is usually pulled back into a low pony-tail when riding.
[/li][li]Eyes: Her pecan-shaped eyes are often open and inviting all to gaze through deep mahogany irises to a pitch black pupil.
[/li][li]Height: 5’6”
[/li][li]Weight: 120 pounds
[/li][li]Defining characteristics: A heart-shaped face encloses plump lips and a round nose. Usually very animated, Relira has learned over the years how to harness her expressions for her own doings. A soft, square chin blends with a study neck that flows into round shoulders and chest. Her waist, much to the violet rider’s dismay, is sturdy like her neck but not pudgy, either. Add a protruding butt and thin, lithe legs and the woman almost seems top-heavy.
This problem is solved with Relira’s wardrobe. It consists mostly of dresses with plunging V neck-lines but gratuitous hems, partially unbuttoned vests along with loose leggings and boat-line blouses paired with flowing skirts. All are dyed the bright colors that Pernese love so much, thanks to a large allowance from her parents.

[/li][li]Personality: Relira is a temptress. She is very attractive and not only knows it, but shows it as well. When outright rejected, Relira will not take it well since she has difficulties dealing with failure. However she harbors no grudges and merrily makes (and remakes) friends each day. Besides being forward, the violetrider is a confident, outspoken person who values freedom, happiness and, most of all, glory. Impulsive decisions are common coming from bossy Relira, who is a quick thinker and enjoys thinking on her feet.
But it is important when looking at a rider to weigh its dragon as well, and visa versa. Relira had first channeled her charisma into a positive force when she cared for a little violet dragonet. She saw, and still sees a powerful, almost motherly/sisterly figure with plenty of attention to spend. Relira is the charm to Saporath’s smarts.
[/li][li]Family:
Father- Lord Holder Leln (deceased, Minor Hold tithed to Benden)
While he was only the Lord of a Minor Hold, you couldn’t tell by the way he acted. Leln was a bold, cold man who made quick decisions that were never revoked, no matter the cost. He emotionally detached himself from everything to make sure the Hold was kept running on a weakening tithe to Bended. Since his wife’s death left the duties of both Hold and Family squarely on his shoulders and he wasn’t sure he could handle it, Leln made a habit out of sending his children to be candidates the instant they were old enough. He died of stress-related heart attack a few years after Relira left the Hold.
Mother- Lady Holder Rutara (deceased, Minor Hold tithed to Benden)
Rutara was a loving woman who admired Leln strength and was dependent upon his discipline to keep her children from being spoiled rotten. She loved each and every one of them and even died in giving childbirth to Relira’s younger twin. The two would be the only ones of the siblings not to know of their mother’s love.
Siblings- Lord Holder Retn (oldest, successor of Leln)
L’on (older, brownrider)
Balaya (older, HeadWoman of Minor Hold)
Pon (older, creamrider)
R’ile (older, greenrider)
Lirala (youngest, twin, deceased)
[/li][li]Pets: None
[/li][li]History: Relira’s childhood was one that was mentally straining, unlike most physically demanding lives that most Pernese experience. She grew up mostly in the halls of a Minor Hold on the fringes of Benden’s territory with her twin, Lirala. Her mother, Lady Holder Rutara, died giving birth to Lirala, which left the two under the iron fist of her father, Lord Holder Leln. He was cold and distant, always scrambling to convince Benden to continue supporting their Hold, always seemingly on the brink of snapping. Relira’s siblings, who were plenty in number, were distant both emotionally, physically and in turns. They were often being shuffled from Weyr to Weyr as candidates as Leln tried to reduce his numerous responsibilities. This drove quiet Lirala and outspoken Relira closer together than ever before. Unfortunatly, they would be driven apart as they escaped their father’s gaze by slipping outside right before a Threadfall.
Relira might not have survived if it were not for the dragonriders that day. They weaved in and out of the Thread far above her head, spinning a web of fire that engulfed the danger. Of course, since they were only on the fringes of Benden’s territory, there was not as much coverage as there might have been over other places, and still some Thread slipped through. It wasn’t a lot, but it was just enough to kill Lirala. To this day Relira has a scar of the horrible event. But it also saved her from her father, as a bluerider stopped for stamina and saw Relira sobbing over her sister’s body. He searched and took her to Benden Weyr where she began the Weyr shuffle dance that every Candidate does. She was twelve at the time.
Free from her father’s discipline, Relira began to experience and act upon her hormones that were just bubbling up from beneath the surface. Every Weyr she visited swore she was either acting out against her loss by trying to find a new person to fill the void or that she was a greenrider for sure. (Of course the first assumption was the correct one.) At turn sixteen she received news that her father died. Not only did this send her further into a desperate search, but now the Weyrs found no reason to keep an orphan candidate who had only been searched due to necessity. Relira was thrown to a dying weyr, Black Obsidian.
Here she found what she was looking for, but not in the package she expected. Instead of the perfect man, she found the perfect friend: Panthea. Though reserved and quiet, the fellow candidate had the confidence and attention span Relira craved. It was almost as if Lirala had been brought back from the dead. With her new-found confidence (and reduced (but not completely ended) flirting) she went on at age 18 to Impress the last of Cometh’s first clutch: a little Violet named Saporath.
The two were quite a handful for the poor Weyrling Master. Though they excelled in the small classes along side Panthea and Horibath once they buckled down and started working, it was near impossible to get them to that point. Armed with another burst of confidence and supplied with the cold logic and rank of her lifemate, Relira’s charisma found it easy to manipulate others to do things for her. The upcoming responsibility of possible leadership did not taunt the violet rider; she saw how she motivated people to do things (even if it was done in a less…. conventional way that most leaders) and decided herself fit for the title. This has created some attraction for the bronzerider of the clutch, which made it difficult for Relira to remain chaste but her time as Weyrling is almost over.
For Dragonriders Only
[/li][li]Dragon name: Saporath
[/li][li]Dragon color: Violet (Color code= f410e9)
[/li][li]Dragon age: Gold Cometh x Brown Morth
[/li][li]Dragon Description: Even though Violets are suppose to be a bit on the small side, Saporath is nothing short of a runt at the size of an average brown. While size is something she shares with her golden sister, Saporath lacks her stamina or muscle. This gives the illusion of being fragile and petite, though none will argue that there is a more agile dragon than this. More striking than her size is a light diamond-like pattern that runs along Saporath’s ridge-spikes. This is especially pronounced because it contrasts heavily with Saporath’s deep indigo body.
[/li][li]Dragon personality: Saporath is a cold, intelligent dragon. She finds pleasure in bending others to her will with unrelenting logic. Some joke that it is an attempt at making up for her miniscule size, and Saporath will snip back that such lack of respect must be why she is one of the last queens at the Weyr. But it is important when looking at a dragon to weigh its rider as well, and visa versa. Saporath’s best character comes through when she is with Relira. She sees a completely different person hiding beneath the surface, a leader who can get people to do what she wants them to. The Violet tries to lure this person out of Relira every chance she gets, teaching her almost like a mother would a child. Saporath is the smarts to Relira’s charm.
