Kinara and Green Casseith
Played By: Rosie
Character Name: Kinara
Pronunciation:
Character Type: Weyrling
Rank: Weyrling
Political Alignment: ‘Politics? What Politics?’ with slight resistance thoughts in that she hates ‘The Way Things Are’, but is not near brave enough to stand up and fight the system. She’s barely even brave enough to fight back when ‘The System’ accosts her, as it does so often...
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexual Preference: Bisexual
Appearance:
She is a slender woman with long reddish brown hair that is slightly on the more curly side of wavy. While her hair used to fall down past her lower back, almost to her butt, after getting attacked by Macnagen that first time Kinara chopped it all off herself and it is only now only just brushing her shoulders, but it still has some blond streaks that were added from her time outside. With weyrling training, her shoulder-length hair got cut to only a little past her ears. She had kept her hair long before to cover up some faint scars on her shoulders and back, from a childhood beating. She also has a scar on her right wrist, but she normally wears some kind of cloth or leather bracelet to cover it and avoid looks or questions. Her skin is slightly tanned but glows from her time in the sunlight. She is a little smaller than most females at barely 5'4" and her body type is very slim and petite, but not sickly looking...just fragile and young looking even though she is already nearly 22 turns old. Her eyes are a dark hazel and her lips are a light rose color. She is normally seen in green colored clothing. Her favorite outfits to wear are light brown breeches and a dark green tops to compliment her reddish colored hair. She refuses to wear skirts anymore, unless seriously pressed upon by her friends and even former roommate to wear them.
Personality:
All her life she had been taught to be quiet and accepting of people who outrank her. When most people look at her they would see a timid, shy person, and that's what she is. She is smart and knows that staying out of the way and being unnoticed are the best ways to get through life, for a female at least. While she is shy and timid she also had a strong will and that is one of the reasons she had been able to last this long in the male dominated society, surviving even the things she’s gone through since arriving at Fort Weyr. She is *not* a flirt anymore, she never was thought because of her secluded upbringing, but the recent events at Fort have just firmed up her lack of flirtatiousness. While not innocent anymore because of those events she still doesn't have experience that would take away her innocent and naive vibe.
She still has trouble making friends or being around people in general and tends to get flustered a lot, and that trouble being around people has only gotten worse since she’s lived at Fort. She does have some self-confidence in her singing, having gotten a little praise from other harpers, but she does not do anything with it except try and stay unnoticed in the Weyr, which has gone very well so far. While she used to sing whenever she got the chance and she thought she was by herself, now she rarely lifts her voice in song as that was the thing that first brought her to Macnagen’s attention and so now singing just brings bad memories for her. She also takes great care with both her appearance and where she lives, almost OCD like about being clean and nothing being out of place. While she thinks she might look pretty, she very much *does not* try and flaunt it and tries to stay unnoticed and by herself most of the time.
She had never gotten close to anyone besides the women who raised her as her own and she does have loneliness for companionship and so tended to be overly trustful of people to an almost dangerous level because of her lack of experience with people. After the events that changed her life at Fort Weyr, she’s not so overly trusting of people at all and is now suspicious and scared when people turn their attention to her.
While she doesn't have any experience with actual relationships, she is not longer the unkissed and innocent girl who came to Fort Weyr. She believes she’s broken, completely worthless, and dirty because of what Mac has done to her as well as the resulting flashbacks, cold sweats, nightmares, and the inability to not be terrified when men get close to her. She has (over the 4 turns since the first time she was attacked by Macnagen) gotten better about not flinching and showing her fear in some situations, and she’s even been taking self-defense lessons from a friend that she knew back at the Harper Hall who came to the Weyr and impressed- B’dalin. Not only that, she’s gotten to the point where she can occasionally give the couple of male friends she has hugs without flinching at the contact and can be around them without having a panic attack.
Since her impression, one she still doesn't think she truly deserves, Kinara has attempted to keep with the ‘please don’t notice me’ attitude, but with her green always wanting to talk with strange people it’s a little hard to do that. Kinara would prefer that her green not be so friendly with strangers, which makes her very uncomfortable. Maybe in time Kinara will get used to her Casseith’s ways....
Birthplace: Harper Hall
Parents: Harper Cilagnya (dead) and Bluerider Kim'us (unknown)
History:
Kinara has lived as an orphan for her entire life. When she was born there were complications and her mother died giving birth to her. She never knew her father because he never knew that he had gotten her mother pregnant. She was raised with about a dozen other children at the Harpers hall which is where her mother had lived before she died. Because the Harper Hall blamed her for her mother's death Kinara was shunned and left alone including once she started to sing, this time because of her gender. The Harper hall was very strict and unwilling to allow her to sing there, only live and serve the *real* Harpers. She lived there for the first 16 years of her life secretly learning and studying music. When she sang and played it was as if she was in her own little world, and Kinara loved that feeling.
When she was 17 and a half turns old the Searches were happening and a brilliant blue appeared at the Harper Hall. Kinara was Searched and taken to Fort Weyr, but later she wondered if she was Searched because the bluerider like the way she looked instead of thinking she could actually impress.
When she first arrived at Fort Weyr she was determined that she would stand even when there wasn’t a gold egg because she just desperately wants to Impressed and doesn't care what other people think or do to her, although she takes the other's candidates teasing without saying anything. What could she say, that she doesn't want a green? No, she will stand on the sands hoping for a dragon and knowing there are several other girls that hope for a gold. Kinara never got the chance to go on the sands when there wasn't a gold egg, because the clutch she was Searched for *did* include a gold egg.
Just before the clutch with the gold egg hatched, Kinara was badly attacked and abused by a male candidate and almost killed herself (she will forever have the scar on her wrist from that night). But she managed to go on the sands for that clutch, only to be left on the sands dragonless. She took that as a sign that after what had been done to her she was completely unworthy of a perfect and innocent dragon, that she was now broken and too dirty to hope for a lifemate. She sank into a depression, not caring what she looked like and only going through the motions of her chores and lessons. She wasn't able to sleep through a night without nightmares...until she began to take felis in her drinks in order to even be able to get through a day and sleep through a night.
She became addicted to that relaxing drug, gradually needing more and more to be able to reach the same effect as her earlier doses until she was unable to get more felis. Going through the withdrawal was horrible, but she had her roommate (as well as T’sa, B’dalin, Kiloka and to a lesser extent an older guard named Pelagheer) to help her and support her as she tried to get over what had happened and pull Kinara out of her depression. And it worked until Macnagen attacked her a second time, although he didn't injure her near as bad the second time as he had the first time. By this time Kinara had been assigned to help bathe T’sa’s Denfith while he was injured and they’d become friends, and when she was attacked a second time T’sa noticed something was wrong and Kinara ended up telling him what Macnagen (who happened to be T’sa’s brother) had done to her.
When Kinara got pregnant from Macnagen’s second attack she dropped out of candidacy to give birth and T’sa was the one to claim the distinctly red-haired looking baby as *his* daughter so that Macnagen wouldn't know the baby was his. Kiloka, who Kinara had met just days after Macnagen’s second attack while she was still a candidate, had become close to Kinara (as close as the broken and hurt Kinara would let a guy get, anyway) and he’d wanted to claim Melody as his daughter at first. It was after Melody’s birth that Kinara reconnected with the boy who had teased her at the Harper Hall, now living as a candidate at the Weyr, who dug and dug until he found out what had happened to the girl he’d once known. It was then, after they reconnected, that B’dalin began giving her lessons on self-defense.
Nearly 7 months into the 22nd turn something happened to Kinara that she’d given up hope of happening, something that she didn't think she was worthy of wishing for anymore, much less Standing on the Sands as a candidate. She, Kiloka, and B’dalin had arrived late to the hatching and were unable to get seats, so instead of missing the hatching the three of them stood *just* inside the entrance to the Hatching Grounds being just close enough to see in without being seen by those in the Stands. Not only did Kiloka impress, to a bronze, but a green followed her bronze brother and impressed to Kinara! Much to the surprise of those who thought two newly hatched dragons were going to leave the Sands and maybe die without lifemates.

Dragon Name: Casseith
Color: Green
Age: 6 Months
Weyrling Class: Flame Dancers
Appearance:
Casseith is of a normal size, not too big and not too small, but her lean body structure will tend to lead people to think this green is smaller than she is. Her wings and tail, however, are larger than look right for her shape but are also streamlined. This means that not only will gliding be easier, but so will those tricky and flamboyant green maneuvers (if Casseith ever cared to do those kind of maneuvers). Casseith’s eyes are slightly large on her face as well as her face in general being longer. As if to fit with this green’s lack of emotions, her mindvoice, face, and body motions don't lend themselves to displaying emotions tending to be deadpan. Her mindvoice is usually casual, unflappably calm, and monotone without a change in emotion. People might lean toward thinking that the green has a more grave demeanor in her way of speaking, but that would be false.
At first glance you might wonder where the color is on the dragon, but as you look closer you’ll quickly realize that the very pale and smooth hide is actually just a very very light mint cream green color. This color is solid all over Casseith, seemingly with no darker markings anywhere, but the problem with having such a light hide is that dirt will show up even more easily meaning that Kinara will have to spend extra time keeping Casseith clean in order to pass inspection. However, if you look very closely at Casseith in the sunlight you’ll notice the faintest darkening marks as if in undefined swirls on the green’s wings, both on the top and bottom of them.
Personality:
Casseith is... very much *not* the typical green. Greens are *supposed* to be flighty and emotional, but she expresses little to no emotion (preferring to hold it in). Her lack of emotion shows in her body language as well as mind-voice, or lack of expressions. But, this green’s lack-of-emotion does not lead people to believe she is indifferent, apathetic, cold and heartless, or even being mockingly superior. Her lack of emotion is more just an innocent and naive lack of understanding about things lots of things, including sarcasm, lying or flirting, and this misunderstanding will often lead to the green to put herself in humorous situations which might even get her in trouble on occasion. But her bronze classmates have proven themselves more than willing to step up to try and salvage the situation, as well as to *try* and get the green to understand what was misunderstood.
Casseith also has a strong faith in the leadership of those higher colors, but that faith is not the near zealot-like level displayed by other dragons, and she also has little tolerance or room for dragons being disobedient to their leaders. She will admit, if pressed, that she might not always understand what her leaders want or why they want it, but she will follow them anyway as best as she can. This faith, however, is tested (and maybe even weakened in its resolve) by the completely horrible things that have happened to her rider. The green won't understand why the leaders did nothing to help her rider, especially because leaders are supposed to take care and protect those they lead....aren’t they? So that strong faith in leadership will waver when it comes to her rider, those her rider considers friends and her own friends, and she will question said leadership more than she should about why things weren't done, probably getting both her and Kinara in trouble.
Both of those aspects, as well as Casseith’s strong interest in people might lead others to consider this green as odd or naive. But her strong interest in people is what will lead them to realize that she had the ability of a Searchdragon. This green has a huge amount of love and respect for humanity and dragon-kind; all aspects of it unless those she believes are evil and corrupted. She's able to place trust in those she considers friends, and will be hurt each time that trust is broken. Any broken trust from her bronze brothers will hurt so much worse than a broken trust from anyone else, and Kinara will be hard pressed to draw her green from her deep sadness at those times.
Casseith will be friendly with both of the bronze dragons in her class, however much to Kinara’s dismay she will show a touch more of a friendly affection toward Macnagen’s dragon Pieth. At first she will have trouble understanding why Kinara fears Pieth’s rider so much that Kinara won't want her near Pieth, but as she understands she will feel ‘betrayed’ at her brother for having chosen such a ‘bad’ rider. By the time the green is 4 months old Kinara will gain enough control to be able to (most of the time) block those horrible memories and thoughts from her green, so only 2 short months after that the green will only remember ‘My rider doesn't like this person’, but won’t remember exactly why. It is toward her two bronze brothers, and her rider of course, that this green will come the closest to showing emotion in the form of regret, hesitation, sad confusion, or even anger...and when she shows these emotions the underlying intensity can be intimidating.
Weyr of Origin: Fort Weyr
Abilities and weaknesses: Aside from her ability as a Searchdragon, which will become more apparent as she gets older, because of the longer and streamlined shape of her wings she has an easier time both just gliding and doing the more acrobatic and flamboyant movements green dragons are known for.

It is toward her two bronze brothers, and her rider of course, that this green will come the closest to showing emotion in the form of regret, hesitation, sad confusion, or even anger...and when she shows these emotions the underlying intensity can be intimidating.

Abilities and weaknesses: Aside from her ability as a Searchdragon, which will become more apparent as she gets older, because of the longer and streamlined shape of her wings she has an easier time both just gliding and doing the more acrobatic and flamboyant movements green dragons are known for.
