Hasha is an 18 year old dragon rider from Tillek. Previous to Candidacy she was on walkabout all around Pern. She was Searched by greenrider Ixie while in the forest of Xanadu Weyr, and stood on Ista's sands to eventually Impress Tavissath.

Description

Hasha is diminutive young woman, standing five and a half feet tall, with a slim - some might even call it too skinny - body. Her hair is long but braided back at the sides to keep out of her face, and a color that can't quite seem to decide if it's dirty blonde or a very light brown. Her features also seem ambivalent - some people look at her and find her features odd while others might call her beautiful. She has an oval face, her chin - faintly stubborn - as its sharpest point, and across her wideset cheek bones spans freckles that cross over the bridge of her nose. Her eyes are brown and almond shaped, her lips a cupid's bow that seem perennially pursed. Nonetheless, she is quick to smile, and moves with efficient purpose, her voice a pleasant alto.

History

Hasha is the youngest of two children, her father a Cook-craft journeyman who chose to take up his occupation by cooking for men who set to sea, while her motheer kept a small family hold not far from the shore on a small stretch of sand on the Northern Continent. Hasha's father would often be away for weeks - even months - at a time, and so for the most part her primary companions were her mother and her elder brother. When her father was home, the family was at its happiest, and he always had a new recipe he was excited to explore, frequently serving his own family his initial creations. Hasha's mother also had a love of cooking and baking, and between both her parents, Hasha herself is rather excellent in a kitchen, certainly worthy of being named her father's apprentice - if he were ever around long enough (her knack for using spices and being able to decipher ingredients by taste is nigh uncanny).

Her elder brother entered the Seacraft as an apprentice as soon as he was old enough to be trusted to know his own mind, but as her seventeenth birthday came and went, Hasha was still uncertain of what to do with her life. Knowing she wanted to do more than just be a holder's wife, she still regarded her options with uncertainty. She could sail, but was not interested in the Seacraft. An encounter with a dolphineer in her early adolescence had roused her curiousity, but not enough to leave home. Cooking and baking were her strongest suits, and there was always a need for those with culinary skills.

With her parents' blessing, she elected to go on a walkabout, offering her services to hold and hall for temporary periods before resuming her wanderings. Occasionally there is money to be made in the curious bet - a girl who can name all the ingredients in a soup just by tasting a spoonful is bound to make the odd mark that way.

Dragon

Forcing The City Gates Green Tavissath
Triumphant energy casts narrow sails above and beyond the rest, a grand wingspan of dew-sprinkled sage. Lean and lithe, the lines of her frame follow those of her wings: her neck is slight, but long, making her svelt chest look almost boxy in comparison. The faintest outlines of graceful ribs carry back to celedon-cloaked hindquarters, blessed with a long tail of mojito-crushed mint and tipped with a tailspade of brilliant iced lime. Bright colors, to match the flight of fancy that is the deft arch of her eyeridges, the flashing glory of her eyes: a delicate wraith of a dragon, she is, of boundless recklessness tempered by the unseen wisdom of an ageless soul.

More details can be found on Tavissath's page.

Firelizards

Befreckled and Splotched Bronze Sakai
Perfect, flawless and archetypal; the exact blend of greeny-gold and tan that makes up the tone of his hide is the very perfect bronze shade of which legends are made. Truly, the shade that dominates across his sleekly muscled form just screams "bronze!" And with his well-shaped head, broad chest, powerful and mighty wings, surely he is meant for greatness. Indeed, there's something of arrogance ingrained in his proudly-uplifted head with it's perfectly-shaped headknobs. It is as if he knows he is meant to accomplish great deeds in the world; to be a great one in his own right. And yet, pride goeth before a fall, for despite all his perfection, he has his imperfections as well — although they might not yet be consider flaws, but rather another facet into the aspect of his character. Upon his hide, droplets and sports of a darker bronze — in fact so dark they are nearly black — are stippled across his thick strong neck, broad shoulders, sides and powerfully muscled haunches. Perhaps these spots might be considered a flaw upon the otherwise unmarred perfection of his hide; and yet, they seem to add to him, and make him special in his own right.

Mud Splattered Golden-Brown Egg
One of the larger eggs in the clutch, the unusual shape — which is much more rounded at the base, and narrows up towards the apex — makes it appear as if this egg looms grandly over its clutchsiblings. Tawny topaz hues smooth evenly over the expanse of shell; the overall tone that of a warm toasty golden-brown, like a freshly baked sugar cookie. Scattered about the shell; seeing as if there were no rhyme or reason to them — and indeed there is not — blobs of darker muddy brown are found. Each blob differs in shape and size, although altogether don't cover much of the shell at all, instead being rather scattered about like confetti.

Hatching Message: Mud Splattered Golden-Brown Egg rocks steadily upon its mound of sand, a web of cracks appearing across the shell. And then, as if from a mighty lunge from within, the bronze hatchling within is freed, spilling out onto warm sand in a tangle of limbs.

Credits: The egg theme for this clutch was "North American Bird Eggs" The Mud Splattered Golden-Brown Egg is based off a Whooping Crane egg. You can see one here. The hatchling theme for this clutch was Crested Gecko morphs. The Befreckled and Splotched Bronze Hatchling is based off the dalmatian morph. The description of the dalmatian morph is "The dalmatian morph is quite simply defined by the spotting on the gecko's body. This is more of a trait than it is a morph, due to the fact that dalmation spots can be coupled with every other pattern. A very high percentage of crested geckos have dalmation spots, whether it is just a few, or many. The spotting is usually black in color, but breeders have recently been improving on the red and green spotting." You can view a picture here.

Opener of the Way Blue Puck
This blue (it is a blue, right?) is decidedly blue-green. This aqua-colored firelizard seems trapped between blue and green, as if he doesn't quite know what he is. His snout is long and slender, as are his legs and tail, giving him a decidedly feminine look despite the fact that he's most likely a blue as his markings do tend that way. The only parts of him that isn't an awkward blue-green are his wingsails. They are bright, robin's egg blue, making his color seemingly clear.

Peanut Cliff Egg
This egg is incredibly oddly shaped. Seeming to prefer to lay on its side, it has two lobes, one larger than the other, that are merged together by a broad meeting road. It is the brown-grey of fertile mountains. Its rough surface is pocked and pitted with tiny black cave openings and the larger lobe has a giant splotch of blue.

Hatching Message: Peanut Cliff Egg shudders a few times, then begins to crack wide along the horizontal, spreading from the larger lobe to the smaller, until it finally falls open, revealing an egg-wet blue hatching.

Credits: The theme for the eggs in this clutch was Pernese locations. The Peanut cliff egg was based on Benden Weyr, which is, in fact, vaguely peanut shaped as per the Atlas of Pern.

The hatchling theme was Mirrim. This greenish blue was based on her dragon, Path. The first green in the ninth pass to dare impress to a woman, she openedup opportunities for hundred of riders that never were available before. Even once she moved from Benden to Monaco, she led as only a green can lead. Proud, strong, and fierce.

Quotable Hasha

• "See, babies are easy and simple - they're either sleepy, hungry, need a burp, or need a change. And after a certain age, children can have interesting conversations. But there's a space in between where they are the Bane Of Me Existence and I think they should just be put in barrels at that point and uncasked at the proper aging, like wine."
