Name: Joliana
Age: 21 Turns
Appearance:
She is rather nondescript at first glance. Her curves are simple and her build is slight. Her eyes, though they are green, don't jump out at you when you first brush your eyes along her. Joliana's hair is a simple brown, though it does touch her waist when she completely lets it down. Her lips are soft and more of a reddish hue, but small compared to the rest of her face. Nothing about her face or her build is extraordinary or something that will set itself in your mind forever. A glance will leave you with just a vague recollection of a pretty girl; nothing more and nothing less.
However, the more you get to know her, the more you see the subtle beauty in her. You see that her green eyes change to a teal when she wears blue hues or when she's in full sunlight they change to a sharper green, lighter, but more of their base color; taking out all hints of brown or blue. Her lips, not her eyes, tell her emotions. A small smile hints to amusement and a wider one is either forced or is shown with a laugh of complete amusement. A scowl, which is rarely there, tells of displeasure or frustration. One thing is, though, you will never see her teeth. Through all of her emotions that her mouth shows; when it comes time for a smile or a laugh that reveals her "pearly whites," she covers her mouth with her hand. A result of a childhood where politeness was mandatory.
Her build, as said before, is slight. She's rather skinny and she's just over 5'2" so her body isn't one that is found on a rider typically. But still, she has more strength than is expected in her arms and legs. That doesn’t really amount to much though, but it allows her to do all that is required as a rider without too much difficulty, though without the ease that most others were able to command.
Personality:
Joliana never makes an effort to stand out. She’s subtle and always has been. It’s not that she keeps to herself and doesn’t want friends; it’s just that she’s shy and it takes someone else saying ‘hi’ first. After that, she’s a great person to hold an intellectual conversation with. Usually, however, she falls completely into the background unless her dragon makes her assert herself which has begun to happen more and more often.
Due to her shyness, she isn’t much of a leader, but the violetrider always has a grasp on the situation. In her mind, she tends to have many solutions or plans of action, but she never speaks up about them. Instead, she just lets them dwell in her own mind; having no ambition that would draw it from her lips. In her mind, she thinks that others will either come up with another plan or one like her own without her help and that would happen without her saying at thing. Those who take the time to get to know her can generally coax her ideas out of her when they’re alone, but that’s the only way to get them. Well, unless you want to ask her dragon.
She’s very intelligent, but with how shy she is and how subtle she is; it’s almost a waste. Only her dragon knows the extent of her knowledge and she tends to know a lot more about weyrlife than anyone would even guess. Despite her quiet demeanor, she does have ears and she’s very adept at using them. It’s not that she’s scheming; she’s just knowledgeable and she doesn’t believe in gossiping so she never shares such information.
When it comes to men, Joliana almost never has any relationships. It wasn’t necessarily that she’d been hurt in the past and was run off of men; she just doesn’t have the assertion that it usually takes to meet men and form that sort of a relationship. The only time she tends to take to the furs is when her bonded Flies. That leads to an awkward morning after or her leaving before he wakes up. It’s not that she doesn’t want love; she just doesn’t really have the confidence to assert herself in such a way.
History:
Jakisai was a simple holder girl; more beautiful and more confident than any other. She flitted from guy to guy, making promises but never giving up anything. She was known as a tease, but she didn’t mind. She had fun flirting and the only people who were hurt or frustrated were her flirt buddies and her parents. But, hey, why should she care? Everyone knew that she wasn’t serious! They shouldn’t mind too much; they got to spend time with her.
But one day, everything changed. The Lord Holder’s son, who she’d previously left alone, decided to end her relationships with everyone else. He told his father that only the 16 turn girl would do for his wife and he didn’t care whether or not she wanted him. Of course, she didn’t. Jakisai didn’t want to settle down; she didn’t care if it was with a drudge or the next holder. She just wanted to have fun, but it seemed that that wasn’t for her. Her parents gladly turned her over to Bolin so she could be his wife.
She fought and screamed in cried, but was broken. Never did Jakisai completely submit to her new husband, but there wasn’t much that she could do besides subtly fight. She bore him four children, extremely unwillingly, and one of her ways of fighting was to turn his children against him. Everyday, she would tell Joliana and her siblings how awful their father was and how much they needed to escape from such a life. But their father would sing a different story, showering them all with gifts. Joliana quickly learned to keep her mouth shut; taking in everything while managing to appease both her parents. It was a complicated way to live, but she bore it, just living for the next day without thought of ever getting out of the endless cycle.
However, when she turned 17, she was Searched. Joliana gladly went to the weyr, eager to get away from the fighting in her household. Still, her demeanor didn’t change much; she continued to be quiet and withdrawn, but that was just how she was. She Stood three times before she Impressed her Boleith. The violet began to change her, trying to get her to be a little bit more outgoing while continually scaring her with her antics.
Then it happened. Just as she graduated Weyrlinghood the holders came. Her life was ripped apart while all she could do was watch. Thankfully, her and Boleith were bathing in the lake so they were able to take to the air. Sadly, though, they couldn’t rescue any of their friends, despite the violet’s want to do something daring and drastic. So up in the air they sat, without the drive to go between and the inability to stop watching what was going on below them. Tears just rolled down her face and an eerie death keen was emitted by the mourning dragon.
But that was how life was. It went on and Joliana was quick to learn that. Still, sometimes the young violetrider still has bad dreams; remembering the awful destruction of both the weyr and her life.
Companions: None, but she would like a flitt
Rule Remark: oh, the shininess: think fast
Dragon Name and Color: Violet Boleith
Dragon Appearance:
She is a rather small dragon, even for a violet. Her hide is a soft purple, not the lightest shade ever seen in that type of dragon, but certainly lighter than most. Her hide has a soft hint of blue in the light and her wings are a little smaller than normal. Her body is very streamlined and elegant, even more so than most other colors. Her eyes are a bit larger and they tend to whirl faster than many other dragons’ eyes when she’s calm, simply because she tends to have such extremes of emotions.
Dragon Personality:
Just like a typical violet; she’s shocked the weyr with her antics when they were in their weyrling years. Boleith has a softer side as well, but it really doesn’t show to anyone but her rider. Usually, she’s simply known for her crazy twists and turns in the air and for her inability to sit still. Unlike her rider; she’s extremely social and she loves to show off. If she can do it; then she does unless her rider makes her stop. Her Flights are very dangerous and reckless and many times males get injured either trying to mimic the violet or when the violet decided that they got too close.
