Physical Description of Persona:
There is something achingly familiar about Sybana. She has one of those faces that most people seem to recognize something in. Yet, her face is not like the girl from the cothold over, or the creche worker or laundry lass. No, it's a sort of nostalgia that draws the eye, for Sybana appears to have stepped out of the grand tapestries of Weaverhall. She is drawn entirely from the classical ideals, a romantic beauty with fair skin and dark hair spun in heavy curls to a small waist. Expressive eyes, a changeable light green, dominate a face of fine features, delicate in appearance, but strongly defined.

She moves as though the world has always bent to meet her, with an effortless, careless grace--a woman long accustomed to approval, to admiration, to the certainty that wherever she stands, she belongs.

Emotional Description of Persona:
The ambitious daughter of an ambitious family, Sybana is eager and ready to make her mark.

Sybana is proud and vain, sweet and silly. She has thus far been well prepared to meet the gentle demands of her life. The finest harper tutors and further finishing at Opal Cove have seen to that. She has an innate habit of command, a lady's posture and gentle hands. By both nature and nurture she has everything the genteel world says a hold-wife ought to have-- which is something she takes great pride in. The very opposite of a spunky rebel, Sybana /fits/ her world and has been commensurately rewarded with approval and praise.

Her one rebellion, if anything, is being perhaps a little too friendly across class lines. She enormously, but casually, classist. She’s also enormously outgoing and demonstrative and earnestly /likes/ people-- and likes being liked in return.

Sybana hasn’t experienced a lot of challenge, let alone failure, in life. Privately, the thought intrigues and petrifies her respectively. She’s smart. She knows she’s coasted through life on her birth and appearance alone. She’s young and unsure of what she can do on her own merit-- she’s both excited and terrified to test her own potential.

History of Persona:
Sybana is the youngest daughter of Holder Daryngad of Skyvale, a mining hold that shot from obscurity to prominence with the return of Thread. Sited on top of the largest firestone deposits in the south, Skyvale is poised to become a powerhouse of the Pass-- if Sybana and her siblings have anything to say about it.

Her older siblings still remember when Skyvale was a sleepy hold, thought foolish by many, mining copper and tin to get by until the world called for firestone again. By the time Sybana was born, clutches had begun booming on the sands and the weyrs were starting to rumble about Thread, so the Skyvale she grew up in was a hive of activity, brimming with purpose and potential-- and wealth.

As a result, Sybana grew up comfortably and delightfully coddled. She was given a fine Harper education and schooled to be a charming hostess and competent lady of the house. When she was 15 she was sent to foster at Opal Cove and so she was entrenched for an eye-opening few Turns in the politics and currents of a Great Hold.

While the growing demand for firestone has drastically increased the coffers of Skyvale, it still has a ways to go in terms of prestige. As one of many schemes to elevate the hold, Sybana has been dispatched by her family to Emerald Falls, where they hope she will ensnare the young lord.

---

Sybana failed to win Corofel's hand and, pride stung, decided to take her chances at the weyr when Chioneth laid a queen egg early Turn 12.

As luck would have it, she meet gold Galgaith out on the sands.

She is now trying to adjust to weyr life and wondering what exactly she's gotten herself into.

Dragon's Name: Galgaith
Dragon's Age: 1
Dragon's Hatching Date: m3 d22
Dragon's Colour: Gold
Description of Dragon:
(gal-GUY-ith)

Galgaith is a titan among golds, a vast, hulking presence of molten ore. She grew out of her gangly awkwardness only by swelling into it, filling every crag and angle with sheer mass until she became something monumental. She is not beautiful or elegant-- she is a creature of brutal lines and heavy planes, more beast than queen. Her wings are vast slabs of sail and spar, built to heave her bulk into the sky with raw strength rather than effortless grace.

The dragon herself is frank-- straightforward in word and action. She usually communicates in simple and blunt terms, while being more expressive in vocalization, gesture, and raw emotion.
