Name: R'yew (Pronounced as ree-you. Formerly known as Ruyewnl (Pronounced as roo-yoon-ehl))
Birth Date: 9th Pass - 3.23.10 (March 26, 1995)
Age: 17 Years Old
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Origin: Ruatha Hold of Pern
Rank: Weyrling
Weyr: Rocky Weyr
Appearance: Ruyewnl has long brown hair with light-brown, almost copper, highlights. Her hair reaches past her shoulders, almost the middle of her back. Unfortunately, Ruyewnl usually just lets her hair as is, and it always looks sorta messy and like she just woke up from bed. But having become a Weyrling, she's learning to start putting her hair in some semblance of order but she has yet to think about actually cutting of her hair.
She has hazel eyes under straight brown brows. They are very expressive and somewhat changes color depending on her mood. Her eyes darken in color when she's in a bad mood, angry, or something that's just not quite right. Her eyes lighten up when something good has happened, like she's happy, or surprised. Her eyes are very honest and they are surely the windows to her soul.
She stands at five feet and ten inches and weighs one hundred and twenty-five pounds. She has a trim and lithe body, not too fat and not too skinny. She has nice long legs, perfect for running. Her skin is rather fair despite having been a Runner before she got Searched.
She doesn't have any preferences with clothing, color or otherwise, just so long as they will allow her to run freely or move without difficulty.
Picture:
Personality: Ruyewnl is very independent. Even at an early age, Ruyewnl showed signs that she can take care of herself without asking for adult help. She even chose to have a different profession from her parents and her siblings becoming the first ever Runner from her family.
She's not one to ask for help, but she won't say no if it's offered. Since she is used to doing tasks by herself, she's not used to asking anyone to help her even if a task would get done much faster or better when done by two people.
She's a tad curious. Some say she's too curious to a fault. If she doesn't know something, she tries to find the knowledge that will make her better understand what it is. In some cases, especially when it comes to people, there are those that think, the past is better left alone. And she doesn't like it when she's told to stop looking or stop asking about it.
She's very friendly and likes to make friends as much as she can. Being a Runner, she loves to make friends of the people that she comes across on her journey. Even if they don't become really close friends, at least she can greet them and say hi when they cross paths.
Likes: Running. Meeting people.
Dislikes: Being stopped from finding stuff out.
History: Ruyewnl grew up in a typical family beholden to Ruatha Hold. Her family and anscestors have always served the family of the Lord and Lady of Ruatha. It was therefore quite a shock to her parents and siblings to learn that Ruyewnl wanted to be a Runner. True, they have known that she has always admired those Runners that occassionally came to the Hold, but they had thought that as time passes by, Ruyewnl's admiration for Runners will also come to pass.
Ruyewnl became an apprentice Runner when she was thirteen years old. It didn't take long for her to memorize the routes that Runners took to take messages all over Pern. At first, she only ran messages within the Hold, but as time passed, she started running to pass messages to folks that live in other Holds. It was a dream come true for her, for she loved running and being a Runner.
Alas, fate had something else in store for Ruyewnl for she found herself Searched when she went to deliver a letter to Benden Hold. There had been a Search being conducted when she came inside and like others, she was curious about who will be Searched from Benden Hold never realizing that she will catch the eye of the Search dragon.
Much as Ruyewnl had wanted to say no when she got singled out by the dragon and rider, she knew what an honor it was to be Searched and besides, it wasn't guarranteed that a dragon would Impress on her. And so, Ruyewnl joined the dragonrider pair and went to Benden Weyr after leaving a message to a fellow Runner about her Candidate status.
After a time of spending life as a Candidate in the weyr, Ruyewnl developed a love for dragons and now wanted to be a dragonrider just like the rest of the Candidates. And as she spent time at the weyr, she learned of Earth, from whispered rumors, and that it was the place were the defective dragons got sent to.
Ruyewnl didn't really want to be one of those folks that get sent to the so-called "Earth". But, Rocky Weyr on Earth was in need of more Candidates, and she was hustled along with the others that were left Standing in the most recent hatching at Benden Weyr. She had gone along thinking that she won't Impress and that she'll be sent back to Pern when fate yet again interfered.
In the hatching, Ruyewnl... that is, R'yew found herself Impressing Green Matrith. And there sure were hatchings to be remembered afterwards. One time, there had been rogue riders that had arrived and tried to steal eggs that were on the verge of hatching. There was even someone who had managed to Impress two dragons. And that was surely unheard of. Not only that, there were dragons that were showing signs of being two colors. It was something that was totally not what she expected to occur in a Hatching nor of the dragons themselves. At least she managed to get a normal colored dragon even if Matrith had that odd marking on her.
In the end, Matrith chose for them to stay on Earth and R'yew didn't have the heart to say no. It has been little more than a year since then, and Matrith has grown into a beautiful lovely dragon and R'yew has learned to like Earth with its technology and other things that they didn't have on Pern.

Hatching Scene:
After a few minutes of violent rocking, the small egg displaced itself, rolling down the mound of sand and like a shell, a crack was heard and a fine line of hairline cracks started to work their way from the top of the egg, to the bottom of the egg. With the hatchling inside struggling to break free of its prison, the hairline cracks spread faster and faint tapping from withing the egg could be heard by the entranced crowd.
Then, all at once, the egg shattered, showering those nearby with it's eggshell. A lovely dark green hatchling was revealed. She looked about, as she stood to shake herself free of any leftover eggshells and egg goo once more splattering those around her and not caring any other way. She didn't seem at all interested at the Candidates near her but was instead curious about the rocking egg on the other side.
With a final look around, trilling a warble of greeting at her parents, she wandered over to the other side curious as to what will hatch from the violently rocking egg. She was not at all scared that Crucith might not like her coming over to Crucith's side of the Hatching Grounds.
The brown struggled to open his eyes, he was so exhausted that he didn't even feel the rumbling of his stomach. His eyes were a mad swirling red though, evidence of his hunger. In response to the Green he said, Too tired to look. But I can feel Mine here. They'll come find me if I can't find them. At that, he managed to sit up from his position and surveyed his surrounding.
As the Brown did so, the Green also made a survey of her surroundings, it was then that she felt Hers. With a glad shout, she bounded to Hers, bowling over some candidates that weren't fast enough to get out of the way. Most were unharmed but a few received some scratches as the dragon hatchling obliviously plowed through the candidates to get to Hers.
Mine, I finally found you! I do apologize for not looking for you earlier, but I was worried about Iaruth. You do forgive your Matrith, don't you, R'yewMine? Matrith asked Hers with an imploring voice. Her eyes a swirl of rainbow colors.
