Name: Nuala
Turns: Twenty-nine turns
Gender: Female
Rank: Candidatemaster, Master Baker (on the side)
Sexuality: Bisexual
Weyrmate: None at the moment
Appearance:
Nuala is a very tomboyish figure of a girl, though not because she really is a tomboy. Her figure never came in, and she was left with little bust to speak of. However, her body does have a very feminine appeal to it. Her legs are beautiful, well sculpted things, her arms slender but not so thin that you would think she has never used them before. Her hips are very feminine indeed, curling out from her small waist very nicely, giving her butt a very nice shape as well. Her hands are the most delicate things about her, though she works with them a lot. Slender wrists and long thin fingers rarely covered in riding gloves when she can get away with it. And yet the things have never seemed to callous over like most riders’ hands would if they treated them the way she did. She believes it’s due to the moisture they get from working with foods.
She is a very petite woman, reaching perhaps five feet one inch in riding boots. She also weighs about one hundred five pounds, although you’d have to give her an extra ten with her riding leathers on. However, you will most commonly see her in a decent set of trousers and a pleasant looking tunic. When she can get away with it she will wear the sleeveless tunics in the hopes that one day she might actually retain a tan from any burn she might get from the sun, but it hasn’t seemed to work in all her twenty-nine turns, and she fiercely doubts that it ever will. But there’s no harm in trying, is there?
Her hair is short, very short for a female. The silky locks are chopped around her jaw line, making some men’s hair longer. The coloring is pretty, if not a bit strange. At first, in any closed setting with low light, or even no light, the mass looks very dark, almost black. However, the moment she steps into the sun it can easily be seen that the locks are indeed not a black at all, but instead a very dark red. The light shining down seems to catch her true coloring and reflect the color back perfectly, a small oddity for Pern, though it is obvious that the dark hair of her mother desperately tried its best to cover up the brilliant red her mother had at one point, though the color has faded over the years.
Her eyes are a very dark color, black orbs that seem to have no differentiation from the iris to the pupil. They are donned with long black lashes, and enhanced by her thin slightly arching eyebrows above them. The eyes themselves are a strange shape, almond and tilted, giving her a very pretty look indeed. Her lips are a pale pink, and very becoming on her, full and soft. Her skin is pale and without blemishes. The coloring does turn a bit pink, or possibly red, depending on how much time she spends outside without some form of protective covering over it. All in all, though she is not a very busty woman, Nuala can easily be called pretty, or even beautiful.
Personality:
Nuala can be defined with a few simple words. Diligent. Determined. Responsible. Caring. Intelligent. Nuala has always been the type to set her mind to something productive, never one to sit about and do nothing. Some might call her a busy-body, but idleness simply annoys her. She likes to have a full plate in front of her, whether it’s delicious bubbly pies or a mass of responsibilities stacked upon each other. She likes to have things to do, and really likes to exceed all expectations placed upon her.
Nuala is extremely smart, with a near photographic memory. She is great at memorizing recipes or simply the names of people that she meets, not to mention their likes and dislikes and just about any topic that has ever come up about that person or conversation had with them. She is also very on task and organized, working on a tight schedule. She has a knack for fitting almost anything into said schedule, no matter how tightly organized everything is.
She is also a very open person, calm under any storm she’s a great shoulder to cry on or ear to vent to. Always her face holds a friendly smile and sparkling eyes. She refuses to judge people, just like Tobbyth, preferring instead that everyone is good but that everyone makes mistakes also. People are simply the product of their lives, just like a bad meatroll is lacing only because of how it was prepared rather than the ingredients that made it.
The only time Nuala will ever be seen to be irritable is when she has nothing to do, which almost never happens. She refuses to even relax sometimes and will pout or grumble if someone forces her to. The days where there are simply no Candidates are the worst and she will spend extra time working Tobbyth or in the kitchens, finding some silly task that will keep her occupied for the time being.
History:
Oldest of four children by seven turns to her parents, two Journeyman Bakers for Ista Weyr. She often helped with the foster mother of the crèche, but also with her parents in the kitchens. She apprenticed to the Baker Craft by the time she was allowed to, almost immediately jumping up in the ranks due to the things she had been taught by her parents while growing up. She returned to the Weyr a Journeyman Baker at the age of sixteen. It was at this time that she began to Stand for her chance at a dragon. For four turns she Stood every clutch with no luck. However, she attended every lesson during her Candidacy, not wishing to miss a single moment of them, often bringing some form of snacks for the Candidatemaster and the other Candidates. Upon what looked to be her last time Standing, Nuala finally Impressed her beautiful Tobbyth.
Nuala was a very determined little Weyrling, attending lessons, always early, paying attention to every lecture. Again, she was sure to bring some form of snack for her fellow Weyrlings and the Weyrlingmaster. She was also precise in every activity involved with her pretty Tobbyth, bathing and oiling him diligently, practicing drills with him and keeping him in shape. She continued to be friendly and open to those around her, and it was not uncommon for others to come to her with questions when either the Weyrlingmaster or Candidatemaster were not available.
For her first two turns after graduation, she worked diligently on becoming a Master Baker, but the goal would take longer when other more important responsibilities came to her. Dragonriders have a lot of duties, and Nuala was never the type to slack off. And upon her third turn as a rider she was asked to be the Assistant Candidatemaster. For the next four turns she assisted the Candidatemaster while performing her drills. At the end of those four turns when she was doubly honored, having been able to walk the tables at twenty-six to become a Master Baker, while also being asked to transfer to Akum Weyr as a possible Candidatemaster, as the Weyr was greatly in need of people.
For the last two turns she has worked hard on all of her duties here at Akum Weyr, teaching the lessons she still had memorized, maintaining her Tobbyth and his health, while occasionally helping in the kitchens for grand feasts. The most useful part she makes of her Baking is her “Left Standing” parties. After every clutch she gathers those Candidates who did not Impress and makes for them delicious bubbly pies, comforting them and informing them that they will have another chance, and did they know how long it took her to get her Tobbyth?
Other:
Of her three siblings, only one has Impressed. N’dol of green Yrth who is still a rider for Ista Weyr. The other two went into Weaving and Healing.

Name: Tobbyth
Turns: Nine turns
Color: Blue
Appearance:
Tobbyth is a pale blue, like the soft summer sky. This makes him hard to see at times while he is flying. The only markings he shows is a slightly darker blue ring about his neck that oddly resembles a collar. Due to the look for this, Nuala made his leathers to match the color. He is much on the smaller scale for a blue, very petite. In fact, many of the larger greens will be bigger than him. But he does not let this get down on him, his long neck and slender muscular body only adds to his grace as a dragon, and he is a swift little thing in the air, making impossibly tight turns and impressing any Candidate who had hopes for a dragon of their own.
Personality:
Tobbyth is a very friendly dragon, even for a blue. He is always cheerful and open and has no qualms speaking to any creature that wishes for conversation, be it human, dragon, or wher. He is simply not judgmental, instead finds a purpose for all things. You would never see him turning his nose up at any being. Like Nuala, Tobbyth is a very diligent creature and he will get a little anxious if he doesn’t finish what he needs to do. Rarely will be lounge or play before his work is done. And he will never get irritated for having an extra task given to him.
Tobbyth loves to laugh and joke, though he only knows the kind-hearted jokes and would probably get upset if someone told him a mean-spirited joke. He also does not like bullies, and will alert every rider in the area if he sees someone starting a fight. He doesn’t even like it when proddy flitters bicker back and forth. Tobbyth is simply a very peaceful and good-natured dragon.
Other:
Tobbyth has a very strange love for bubbly pies
