Description
Darma wears her femininity casually, although her mother would say carelessly and this may be true. Her thick, dark hair reaches her shoulders in a mass of unruly sable curls, usually no more than combed and left to the attention of the day's breezes. High cheekbones, a slightly prominent nose that doesn't exactly cooperate to create stunning beauty, the girl is, if nothing else striking. Shapely dark brows sit above thickly-lashed, liquid black eyes which usually contain a spark of devilment that gives a hint to her inner character. Her mouth is generous, lower lip slightly full with a sweet curve; it's rare that she isn't smiling or laughing.
The girl is tall, long-limbed and fit, and though her curves are in all the right places, her physique speaks of a life outdoors. Despite exposure to Rukbat's rays, her complexion is more creamy than tan, go figure. Her clothing reveals her Trader origin - usually consisting of loose blouses, brightly-colored full skirts and more oft than not, (if she can get away with it) bare feet.
History
Darma spent her whole life on the trails between Igen Hold and High Reaches Hold with the Fedbak Clan; in fact, she was born underneath the stars on the rough trail between Nabol Hold and Crom hold. Rocked to sleep by the motion of the steadily-plodding burden beasts inside the caravan wagon each evening, awakened by the scent if smoky campfires, brewing klah and the clan breaking camp in the mornings, her life was one endless adventure of ever-changing horizons.
Trading may have been an easy-going, free-style sort of existence, but there was work a-plenty in between the nomadic wandering the clan did. Trail life held a thrall of its own with the unlimited horizons and close camaraderie of her kinsmen. Gathers and Hold stops were always interesting - the bargaining of goods a game that Darma quite enjoyed. She could have lived this way forever, content to marry within the clan and remain on caravan, but a chance meeting at High Reaches Hold with a cousin's caravan and the arranged engagement to a lad employed in it saw her joining theirs, taking the new route with them to Tillek Seahold. It was a lark, really, that got her aboard one of the trader's ships there. Just a dare to sneak aboard and see if they would discover her before the ship set sail. As fate would have it, she fell asleep inside a tarp-covered lifeboat, not awakening until several hours later and far, far out to sea. The ship's captain wasn't about to turn back for one slip of a girl, so her only option was to work for her passage and meals until they reached their port of call, then headed back.
It so happened that this ship was bound for Ista Weyr and of course, Darma, being the inquisitive soul that she was, having never been to the tropics, just HAD to have a look around. Wouldn't you just know it - the ship finished business and sailed without her, leaving her to once again shift gears and try to land on her feet. Able to find work as a kitchen assistant, Darma's plan was to save enough marks to pay her fare back to Tillek Seahold. Fate, however, intervened and a late-night chance encounter with greenrider Anoryn led to her being searched by Rysith. Impossible to return to her clan having said no to a search dragon, doing her Pernese duty to give the dragons choice, Darma found herself a Candidate at Ista Weyr. In her mind, the dragons needed people to pass by and so she spent Candidacy not really giving the thought of Impressing too much thought. Thus, come hatching day, she was dumfounded to be chosen by a lovely little green hatchling, the unpredictable and enigmatic Melsariath, who has told her « You might want to find something to hang onto!!! »
