Weyrleader Perone
Daya Knight [e-mail]

Common Knowledge: Perone comes off larger then life, much like a celebrity on Terra. She has tried to stay level headed through everything, but she has been known to take advantage of her new found rank. She is a charismatic leader and has a way of making the open-minded adore her, while at the same time infuriating the traditionalists. She is the first female Weyrleader and the first blueriding Weyrleader. Perone and S'tar have a strong relationship, and so do Truth and Wrath. It is in debate if the green queen will ever let another dragon fly her. She was groomed her whole life to be a goldrider, and when she Impressed a blue her father disowned her. It is rumored she is secretly seeking the approval of B'ruk.

Physical Description: Perone is a short woman, only 5 foot tall. She isn't intimidating in the slightest. She has straight, long black hair that she wears in twin buns on either side of her head when she is on duty. When she is not on duty her hair is usually down. For gathers she has her hair lavishly styled, one of the perks of having rank. Her most striking feature are her bright, frosty blue eyes which slant slightly with minor epicanthic folding. Her skin is creamy and smoothly tanned from the southern sun. Asian heritage plays a part, she does not burn easily at all. She likes to wear elaborate clothing, even her riding leathers are altered. All her clothing is in various shades of blue and white. She has her ears pierced and favors silver colored jewelry.


Personality: On the outside Perone is a charismatic leader looking out for Pern and her riders. Her only goal to rescue the planet. But really, underneath it all, she is an ambitious sociopath that will do anything to keep her rank, which to her is on par with power and greatness. She likes being in control, and appearing to be the poster child for serenity and goodness. She will fight tooth and nail to stay Weyrleader, she even groomed S'tar to ensure he was enamored with her. It was the reason she chose him for Truth in the first place. She remembers what it was like to be a faceless bluerider blending into the backdrop of the Weyr. She does not wish to be invisible again.

She likes festivities and praise, even though outwardly she plays the modest card. Her favorite food types are sweets and baked goods. She dislikes dogs and animal smells, a stable is a place she rarely treads. She is a sensual woman, and will use her looks if her rank isn't enough. She has a low tolerance for alcohol, she gets drunk easily. She cannot dance a step, but she likes to sing.


History: Perone's mother is a mystery, but she was born to B'ruk in 3299. She grew up in the crèche as any other weyrbrat would. Her life didn't begin to become different until she was 11 Turns old. At this point in time she became Vimie's helper, and at the same time begin being groomed for becoming a goldrider. This was the same year the Catalysts started blaming the plague on dragonriders. Later that Turn the other Weyrs consolidated with Southern and her father explained so little to her that it wasn't until she was older that she realized that they had combined because of all the death. Southern Weyr had been the least effected by the plague and thus they were not as fully aware of the situation.

Perone stood for the gold egg at Southern Weyr when she was 14 turns old, remember during this time females were only allowed to stand for gold eggs. The gold egg didn't hatch and Perone came away with a mammoth of a blue named Wrath. He was as big as any average brown with a wingspan to match a small bronze. In this moment, Perone fell out of favor from her beloved father, and was no longer daddy's little girl. She tried her best to appease him, she once even painted Wrath with a yellow colored mud and took him to see her father proclaiming Wrath to be a gold. B'ruk had only looked embarrassed at the fact.

Perone was out on messenger duty when the Earthshake collapsed Southern Weyr. She was strangely empowered by the event. The fact that Corath had only been flown by Horath for so many Turns and the resulting poor clutches were the surface motive. The deeper motive was that she was sick and tired of being just another bluerider, blending into the tapestry of the Weyr. She wanted to be a somebody again. She wanted to be visible.

She reveled in Weyrleaderhood, and when the one egg was laid she searched for the perfect candidate. She chose S'tar, he seemed weak and easily molded into what she needed to stay Weyrleader. She keeps him groomed to this day, though she does care for him.
