Orana, rider of green Sheelanth
Igen Weyr Persona Sheet
Persona Information
Name: Orana (nickname Rani)
Position: Wingrider, Igen Weyr
Gender: Female
Age/Birthdate: 07.04.04 (26 in Turn 33)
Birthplace: Igen Hold
Family/Significant Others:
Parents: Branard, father, Weaver; Selora, mother, Weaver
Siblings: Ballard, brother, Tanner (33); Sellen, brother, Journeyman Weaver (31); Shoneil, sister, midwife (24); Morolen, sister (20)
Significant Others: B’tev, rider of blue Fareth, weyrmate (deceased); Barrana, daughter, 7; Tevora, daughter, 4
Physical Description:
Orana is 5’7; dragonriding has slimmed her figure, but she is still a curvaceous woman. Her hair is light chestnut, kept in a braid when flying ‘Fall and worn loose at other times. She has bright blue eyes and a smooth complexion, a heart-shaped face, and a lush full mouth. (Media ref: Kate Winslet).
Orana is right-handed; she wears a belt-knife, but uses it mostly to cut meat. Her tunics are usually belted on her hips, while her gowns are high-waisted; she hates bodices and avoids them when she can. When she can, she wears trousers and shirts. Her favorite colors are magenta, all shades of green, blue, purple, and orange. While she has several pairs of earrings, she wears one necklace constantly—a silver chain with a silver firelizard pendant, a betrothal gift from B’tev.
Background and Timeline:
Orana was born to Weavers, Branard and Selora, who had four other children besides her. Orana grew up somewhat spoiled, being the oldest daughter; her parents and brothers indulged her whims, and her sisters followed her lead. Yet her parents made it clear that, in return for the leniency, Orana was expected to follow the rules and behave. Although high-spirited, outspoken, and impulsive, Orana was as dutiful a child as any other at Igen Hold.
A pretty girl, Orana had her share of suitors, but settled on a boy named Bartev who was close to her age. Bartev was a stablehand who planned to work his way up to head stablemaster; Orana admired his way with animals and was smitten with his good humor and kind nature. On the very day Bartev asked her to marry him once his prospects were sure, he was Searched for Igen Weyr. Several minutes later, Orana found herself claimed for Search by another Igen rider. She and Bartev Impressed together: she to green Sheelanth, he to blue Fareth.
Once through with weyrling training, Orana and B’tev weyrmated and had two daughters: Barrana and Tevora. In turn 30, B’tev went to the Smithcrafthall to order a gift for Orana’s natal-day, another necklace with a pendant crystal dragon. He turned to leave the Hall and collapsed, dying instantly; a healer later determined that B’tev had died from an undiscovered aneurysm.
Since losing B’tev, Orana has lived her life quietly, dividing her time between her wingmates, her friends, and her daughters, who are fostered at the Weyr. Occasionally she visits her parents and siblings, but she has accepted Igen Weyr as her home and is unlikely to turn her back on it. As far as intimate attachments, she has a few men friends, most notably S’rezin, rider of bronze Kaimerath.

26.07.20 – Daughter Barrana born
29.09.28 – Daughter Tevora born
30.03.01 – B’tev dies of an aneurysm on the steps of the Smithcraft Hall
Personality:
“I have this awful habit of speaking my mind, and I’m restless, and—” “Stubborn, willful, high-spirited—oh, I know it already. I know what I’m getting with you.” Those were the words Orana and Bartev exchanged when he proposed to her, and they describe Orana perfectly. She refuses to keep her mouth shut, and is an impulsive, willful, constantly active young woman. She’s a born optimist, but her moods are dramatic, almost manic. When she’s up, she’s cheerful, laughing, and a bundle of energy. When she’s down, she’s broody, sarcastic to the point of meanness, and cold.
Orana is a good person; she just has no safety-stop. B’tev’s death has calmed her reckless streak, but Orana still will take chances she doesn’t need to. She will do the things she feels she needs to, and pay the consequences later. If not for her good judgment of character, and her innate decency, Orana’s impulses would lead her into more trouble than she’s already encountered.
She loves her children and her friends; she’s beginning to entertain the thought of finding someone after B’tev. Orana is sometimes overprotective of her friends, to the point of starting feuds on their behalf. She doesn’t really see things in shades of gray; either things are one way, or another.
