Name: Tera
Pronunciation: te-RA
Age: 13
Season Born In: Spring
Gender: female
Sexuality: Hetero
Appearance: The first thing anyone notices about Tera is her hair, which falls down her back in a straight black curtain, down to her waist. Often, her hair is pulled back in a ribbon, usually a simple one of a single color. She likes using the darker browns and greens of the forests around the Weyr. Her eyes are a bright, intelligent blue, with a touch of green around the pupils. Her skin is naturally a pleasent olive tone, colored darker by the days spent outside with other Hold children. Her cheeks are often slightly colored with a healthy glow, and her face is rarely without the smile of youthful energy. For such a young child, Tera is rather tall. She stands at about five foot three, and it is believed that she will be tall as an adult as well. She is slender, at barely 95 pounds, due to her high activity levels. Tera is always seen with her Flit Angelique at her shoulder.
Tera's voice is another one of her surprising features. While she speaks as a normal child would, the tone of her voice often has a musical sound to it. She is often heard singing or humming the ballads she learned from the Harpers of her home. She is very expressive when singing these, and seems to go into another world. Normally, her expressions do not regularly reach her eyes.
Personality: Tera is, first and foremost, a child. She has the energy of youth, and is often seen with her little White flit running around and playing outside. She is very sociable, but also has an air of mystery about her. She seems open to others, but rarely does she fully allow someone into her heart, due in no small part to the fact that her father was not often home. Though Tera loves her father, she is hesitant to give her trust to others. She is kind-hearted, but she tends to avoid personal conversations with people she does not feel she is close to. Often, those who think themselves close to her know less about her than they first thought. She is afraid of loosing those she grows close to, due to the fact that her father left home even when Threadfall was imminent. She is loving and protective of her friends, and will quickly retaliate if anyone should attempt to hurt Angelique. She is very loyal. Her trust is not easy to gain once, but if that trust should be broken, it is unlikely that the bond of trust will be rebuilt.
Tera has an eye for detail. She notices the subtle changes in colors from Summer to Fall, or Winter to Spring. She is very attentive to the various colors of dragons, and is very likely to be one of the ones who is most often reading scrolls, either on her bed or in the scroll-room.
Tera is also surprisingly fearless. She fears the silvery Thread, but will walk up to a full-grown dragon without reservation, given propper permission from both the dragon and it's rider. She isn't afraid of dragons, but is able to tell when she should keep her distance. She isn't able to communicate with all dragons, beyond the normal means of speaking to them aloud, she simply has a surprising knack for understanding draconic body language..
Family: Amara, 35, father, Journeyman SeaTrader. Tessa, 34, mother, Journeywoman Weaver. Sanata, 30, aunt, Journeywoman Weaver.
Location: Trelis Weyr now, born in Sollace Hold
Rank: Dragon
History: Tera was born at Sollace, to Amara and Tessa, in a dangerous time for children. It was the Spring of the 189th Turn of the Pass, and Thread was a threat long forgotten, except in the Harper ballads and teachings. Dragons were often seen flying patrols in the skies, and Tera was quickly intreagued by these magnificent creatures.
Amara was home irregularly, as his SeaTrading duties meant he was often away. However, the times he was at home were special occasions for the small family. Amara and Tera became close during those times, and Amara often brought Tessa rare dyes for her Weaving. Tera always looked forward to her father's visits, as they brought exciting new things from other Holds and lands.
Tera played with many of the other children at Sollace, but she wasn't very close to any of them. This stemmed from her fear of loosing her father to the various threats that reside with SeaFarers in the waters of Pern. Tera reveled in his returns, and often worried when he was gone.
When she was ten Turns of age, Tera stumbled upon a firelizard Clutch that had just begun to Hatch. She stayed to witness what few had ever managed to see, and was blessed with her little White female, whom she named Angelique. When she returned home to her mother, Tera told her mother of the feelings she now shared with the little flit, who was only a few inches long at the time. Tessa knew, then, that her daughter had Impressed to the little flit, and knew that she couldn't put herself in between the two.
One day, just before Tera's thirteenth Turnday, Tessa recieved a letter from her sister in Trelis Weyr, requesting help with a surprisingly difficult Weaving. Tessa readily agreed, and told Amara just before he was to leave on his most recent trip overseas that she would be taking Tera with her to visit her sister. Tera was excited by this prospect, and eagerly followed her mother to the Weyr.
