DRESS/FAVORITE COLORS: Tyrlea favors wearing short leggings (stops about mid-thigh) and a light-weight, loose cotton shirts that are almost as long as her leggings. Above all other considerations, Tyrlea dresses for comfort and practicality.
JEWELRY / WEAPONS: She has a belt knife and knows how to use it. On a black silken cord, she has a teardrop shaped piece of faceted amethyst that she wears. It was a gift from her parents when she made journeywoman.
GENERAL BACKGROUND: Tyrlea is had a normal enough childhood. She's the daughter of weyrfolk. She was a pretty sedentary child -- she preferred to study and read and sew and other such things rather than run around with the other children in the heat and get all sweaty and sticky. As a result of her less than active tendencies, Tyrlea was overweight. Children, being children, were cruel in their teasing, but truly didn't mean much by it. Tyrlea, herself overly sensitive as a child, didn't realize this. Her self-esteem and self-image suffered from the thoughtless taunts and merely made the problem worse. Tyrlea apprenticed to the Weyr dragonhealers when she was ten. On her fourteenth birthday, after a very long talk with her mother, Tyrlea made the decision that her life was going to change. First and foremost -- she was going to lose her excess weight. With the assistance of a healer, who planned out a regimen of exercise and diet with her, she did lose the weight at a slow, steady rate that almost guaranteed that she'd keep it off. By the time she made journeywoman at 16, she had lost the extra weight. To celebrate both the weight loss and her journeywomanship, her parents gifted Tyrlea with her amethyst pendant. Shortly after she made journeywoman, the dragonhealer assigned to the Weyrling complex retired. Tyrlea was transferred over to take up the slack. Over the last six turns, she's gained the position as head of the dragonhealers assigned to the Weyrling complex. Most dragonhealers don't last more than a turn or two with the weyrlings, but despite the losses and the heartache of getting to know the dragons and weyrlings only to lose them, often before they even fly Thread, Tyrlea hasn't yet felt the need to transfer to the main dragon infirmary.
PERSONALITY TRAITS: Tyrlea likes learning things. She's a born scholar. As a child, she was too sensitive to things other people said about her and to her. Today, she's much less so, altho more so than folks would think.
Tyrlea likes to feel needed. She willingly listens to others problems and concerns and tries to give good advice. Some people, however, make her want to climb the walls in aggravation. However, she's a firm believer in treating everyone with the polite courtesy and good manners she was raised with. Until they prove themselves unworthy of such treatment. She's a fun, interesting person with a great sense of humour, and with a refreshing ability to have a highly developed sense of the ridiculous. She'll laugh at herself as readily as she'd laugh at someone else.
Tyrlea isn't quickly, nor slowly, angered. She has a sharp tongue -- very sharp. She unleashes it on fools who screw up royally and those people who annoy/irritate her beyond bearing. She won't have a careless fool near her young dragons and has no compunctions of chasing them out of her infirmary. She's quite cold when she's angered, and holds on to her anger for a long time.
Tyrlea is very self-conscious about her weight. Not about her physical appearance, not really. She dresses for comfort and practicality, without much thought of how she looks in her clothes. Her weight, however, she is extremely sensitive about. She likes being able to see her toes, you know. ; ) She's almost fanatical about what she eats, how much, and getting her daily exercise. She can work a 24 hour shift and be drop dead exhausted and she will STILL insist on getting her exercise.
Tyrlea possesses an iron determination that is sometimes astounding. Once she sets her mind on something, it will not be changed. If she decides something is going to happen, then it is GOING to happen.
Tyrlea tends to withdraw into her work when something bothers her. If she's upset and you're looking for her, check her office first and save yourself some time and effort. ; )
