name: Faran
sex: female
age: 23
faceclaim: McKenna Hellam
dragon name: Commhath
dragon color: Piebald green. Almost entirely solid, except for the tip of her tail. She is very small, even for a Green. She is also usually thin and poorly colored.
dragon personality: Despite being only moderately pied, Commhath has the neuroses seen in pied & bleached dragons. Her particular problem is anxiety. She sleeps poorly and lightly (and as a result, so does Faran) and often has strange, nearly psychedelic dreams, made up more of patterns and colors and emotions than any kind of plot or realistic imagery, that she shares with her rider. Due to her near constant anxiety, which has been present since her hatching, she eats poorly. This stunted her growth and to this day she remains weaker and sometimes borders on emaciated, when she can't work up to hunting. A few times she's had to have food brought to her. Over time they've managed to work through her anxiety, which especially fluctuates when she's nearing a mating flight, but she remains stunted from her early refusal of food.
basic appearance: Slim, pale, very dark hair. She has very distinctive gray/green eyes if you can get her to look at you. Slightly feline features. Strong nose balanced out by her lips. Often has bags under her eyes and chapped, chewed up lips. She's taller than most women but doesn't give off the impression with her closed, reclusive demeanor.
primary personality traits: Faran is not a happy person. At an early age she was shy, failed to make friends, and when she hit puberty and discovered she had no interest in men, her life became more complicated. Impressing Commhath has been the only truly happy moment in her life. Faran probably has/had clinical depression from birth, and that contributes to her dragon's issues, and her dragon's issues contribute to hers.
Faran worries constantly for Commhath, and her worry often manifests as anger. Anyone who might have a dragon attempting to feed at the same time may be met with her ire. She treats male weyrmates with cold apathy. She treats the other girls almost cruelly, because she fears both the potential attraction & the potential for rejection. Most people think she's a snippy, short-tempered, cold person.
relevant history: Faran was one of few Weyrbred girls to stand as a candidate at a Hatching, while most of them were already attaching themselves to male riders or serving as weyrstaff. She lived quietly in the Weyr as a child, raised by a nursemaid and quickly forgetting her mother, and, growing up found that she was attracted to women instead of men. She went through the motions of attempting to attract male attention, and to attract herself to them, but felt nothing but numbness. Soon she gave up. Given her inclinations she did not expect to Impress, certainly not a Queen. She stood like a dead thing on the Sands feeling like it was her destiny to be killed there. Instead, a nearly solid Green dragonet came meandering up to her, crying in confusion and hunger, and Faran found herself tied to Commhath for the rest of her life.
Of course she had the exact same delight as any freshly bonded dragonrider, but her life with Commhath was tainted and complicated from the start. Commhath was a poor eater and prone to nightmares, which Faran shared. Though she was nearly fully Green and therefore supposedly shouldn't have been as affected by the mental traits of the disease, Commhath was neurotic. She grew up and survived (despite the concerns of some) and learned to eat most of the time, but never reached her full growth and has never been a healthy color.
Full maturity meant mating flights, which they were not spared despite Commhath's small size. The flights were always short because she was easy to catch. Neither she nor her rider had much of an option in who flew her, or who ended up in Faran's bed. Largely trying to keep her sexuality to herself, and resigned to the life of a Greenrider that she had seen so many enjoy, Faran went along with whatever occurred, but became colder and more distant as a person with every passing flight. Eventually she got herself a weyrmate--a rider whose Brown caught Commhath every single time. The rider recognized Faran's frozen distaste and respectfully left her alone, while ensuring that his dragon continued to match Commhath, so Faran didn't have to endure the passions of miscellaneous Weyr males. The mating flights became less torturous but Faran remained unfulfilled.
Faran did have one spot of happiness in the Weyr that wasn't Commhath--a junior saddlemaker, a holdbred girl working in the lower quarters who had failed to Impress and stayed to improve her craft. She always smelled slightly of leather and pursued Faran, first as a friend in the dining halls, and then as a lover.
Eventually the girl left her. It was at that point that Faran began to truly despair. She contemplated abandoning the Weyr altogether, joining the Ravagers, living wild at some distant coastline, going between to unknown shores. When the Weyrleader was selecting riders to reoccupy Isa Weyr (in order to keep an eye on the southern Holds), she leapt at the opportunity. She has recently traveled south with Brown weyrmate in tow.
relevant views on current events: She has a significant bias against bleached dragons. Considering how damaged her own minorly pied dragon is, she can only imagine that bleached dragons must be somehow 10x worse, and does her best not to associate with them or their riders.
ambitions: idk to be less miserable?
