Age: 20
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Weyr: High Reaches Weyr
Rider Rank: Wing Rider
Previous Rank/Craft: Weyrbrat
Physical Description:
- Medium build
- About 5'7"
Personality: Cyma is a fairly good expression of the old Nature vs. Nurture debate - She's grown up in the structured and rigid world of High Reaches, yes, but some of her sire's personality shines brightly in her, thinking of everybody in the Weyr as her family and other Riders like brothers, sisters, and other siblings, in a loose sense of the term. She has an open heart, caring about everybody, a trait already present before she'd ever Impressed Beboth. She doesn't tend to outwardly voice it, but she believes strongly that any rider that Impresses any dragon, regardless of rider gender and dragon color, is a perfectly capable rider of achieving any rank they so desire, so long as they're skilled enough for it. This includes the idea of brownrider Weyrleaders and blue Wingleaders. Her opinion of whites, though, is more typical of High Reaches.
History: Native to High Reaches Weyr, Cyma was born the daughter of a Blue rider and Western Green rider Nemo. Was she ever bothered by the fact her mother rides a Blue and her sire a Green? Not at all. She knew early on two things - She'd Stand to Impress as soon as she was old enough, and she probably has a LOT of brothers and sisters from multiple different mothers. Like what dragons her parents ride, she never questions this fact. Having grown up at High Reaches, she's loyal to the Weyr.
She stood for three years before she Impressed - And not even for the eggs she'd been Standing for! Cyma's assumption had been that she would Impress a blue or green, since that's what her parents rode. Instead, the single gold of the clutch had plowed through the girls Standing for her, leaving at least two marred, before plowing over Cyma to awkwardly sit on her chest. Despite the pain of injury, it was love at first eye contact for both. Cyma now bears some scars on her legs and front from that first meeting, which she wears with pride.
Other: She bore one child, from Beboth's virgin flight, and has purposely worked hard to not have more yet.
DRAGON
Name: Beboth
Age: 3
Color: Gold
Size: 50'
Physical Description: Fit and lithe, Beboth shimmers in brilliant golds... When she's clean. Because she favors rolling in mud, she often looks dirty(And not for lack of Cyma trying to keep her clean!). She may not be the fastest dragon, nor is she the quickest to turn, but she makes up for it with sheer stamina and strength.
Personality: Beboth is definitely not the sort to gleam and shine, despite her color. Quite often, she can be found getting cleaned off by Cyma, as she's rolled in the mud yet again, or found something to cover her gold hide with. It's not that she's ashamed of being a gold, though, she's quite proud! She just likes the way the mud feels. Her favorite is the silt found in rivers, as it's perfectly smooth. She has no preferences of dragons, sometimes seen flirting with the tiny blues despite their inability to ever catch her.
QUEST INFO
Why do you want this character? I had started making a candidate app for Cyma, when the gold contest happened, and I further developed her for it, and wound up falling in love with both her and Beboth
What do you love most about this character, if anything? For Cyma, it's simply the fact she's one of Nemo's kids that I chose to develope; For Beboth, it's her personality more than anything.
Anything else? I can't think of anything else at the moment!
