Character name: Sera
Gender: female
Occupation/rank: junior goldrider
Birthdate: 05.11.17
Birthplace: Southern Hold
Hair: brown
Eyes: gray
Build (height/weight): 5’7”, 145 lbs, average build
General appearance: Choppily cut shoulder length hair, slanted gray eyes, and a feral expression that time has not entirely erased.
Sexual orientation: bisexual
Firelizards: Bronze Kiln
Personality: Sera is paranoid, ambitious, suspicious, and loyal to the death to those she considers family. She makes friends reluctantly, because anyone who is truly her friend is family. She is frequently impatient, never suffers fools silently, and has her own moral code which does not always adhere to law or precedent. She is generally far gentler around children and “wounded souls” than to anyone else.
General history: Sera was born to a harper father, Sonel, and a holder mother, Naterra, at Southern Hold. When she was seven, her father died, and her mother immediately remarried a foolish man who took his new family to a secret mine hold with thoughts of a grand new future. The mine hold was run as a slave camp, and children were kept separate from their parents to prevent escape. Both Sera’s mother and stepfather had already died when she and eight younger children were rescued by a trader woman named Sayge, who stole them away, abandoned her own past, and hid with them at Haven Weyr, where a woman with 9 children was not much of a shock. Trouble followed them, and Sera killed for the first time before she was thirteen.
When the danger was past, Sera was desperate to feel safe, and powerful. She was searched by a blue dragon at Haven, but transferred to High Reaches to avoid painful memories. She wanted a dragon, a big, flame-breathing dragon to keep the nightmares at bay. She was passed over at her first hatching, which was almost a relief, as she struggled to learn the ways of her new Weyr. At her second, she was confident, ready, determined. When gold Angreth hatched, she barely noticed, focused totally on her goal. When the little queen knocked her over and demanded that she pay attention, she was furious, and the two engaged in a full out shouting match before Sera realized that Angreth was every bit as stubborn as she was, and was not backing down.
