Picture:
Personality: Lesla has two personalities. One where she uses them when amongst strangers and the other where only a very select few can experience it. Her outer personality is so contradictory with her inner one that one may not believe how different she acts after you have befriended her. Her outer personality, is something that you'll have to conquer or as the saying goes, crack the shell, in order to glimpse her inner personality.
When amongst strangers, she is very shy and quiet. However, she is very polite to her elders, those who are older than her by age whether they be family, friends, or complete strangers. There are times that she is often mistaken to be rude especially the times that she is on an errand. If she is on a given task and someone greets her, she does not stop to greet the person back, but makes a tight-lipped smile without looking at the person who greeted her, and goes on ahead to do her errand as if no one just tried to interrupt her. However, she doesn't just blindly do something without making sure that what she will be doing is right and not wrong. She is a person who rarely voices out her opinions on anything unless she is asked. She is wary of strangers who try to make friends with her, often being vague when answering personal questions asked of her by them. But if one persists enough, little by little, her guard comes down and the two of you will become friends.
If you are her friend, you'll notice that Lesla will always have a smile on her face except for when she is busy, she becomes very serious. You'll also notice that she is very good at giving good and sound advise regarding life and love but that she seems to be unable to follow to same advice when it comes to her own life and her love-life. In addition, she will answer your questions clearly and not give you vague ones like before you became friends. To her friends, she is like an open book with no hidden dark secrets. She is very frank and occasionally looses her tact when dealing with her friends, i.e. if she notices something about a friend she goes right ahead and speaks her mind regardless of that person's feelings or humiliation in some cases.
In either case, whether you are a friend or stranger, you will notice that she is a very clean and organized person. She loves to arrange things either alphabetically or by category or by color gradient. When trying to relax, one would usually find her reading a book on just about anything, playing a soft melody on her guitar softly by herself, or just napping on the hayloft above the stables. She is someone who obey commands, orders, or favors given to her by her elders, her friends, and even strangers; and makes sure that she finishes them efficiently and timely.
Likes: Care and grooming runnerbeasts. Plays the guitar to relax. Reads a book to pass time.
Dislikes: She doesn't like being the center of attention. (OOC: However, as time passes by, she will come to dislike her shy and quiet nature among strangers.)
History: Eighteen years ago, a tiny girl babe was born to the loving couple, Lesara and Laron. As was primarily the custom of naming progeny, the babe was named Lesla. Even at such a tender age, Lesla is not prone to make noise and was content to lay quietly wherever she was put. Lesla was to be the first and only child between Lesara and Laron for they died in an accident after Lesla had turned 4 Years Old. By some happenstance, Lesla was mostly unharmed except for a few bruises, but she was left an orphan as a result of the accident.
If not for the death of her parents, Lesla might have turned out to be more outgoing and friendly. Alas, fate must be harsh and Lesla had turned very shy amongst the strangers that now proposed to care for her. It will be noted by most of the Benden Holders that only a very select few are able to penetrate Lesla's inner core make her blossom like a flower and act like any child her age. However, Lesla always shuttered down her true self and presented a different façade whenever she came across strangers.
As fate would have it, the couple who became Lesla's adoptive parents were Master Beastcrafters. To be precise, they specialized in breeding runnerbeasts despite the fact that Benden Hold is primarily known for its wine making. Lesla came to love being with runnerbeasts after her traumatic experience. As time passed, she even asked her adoptive father if she could help out even though she was only five Years Old.
Not much happened as Lesla grew up into adolescence. She was educated as any child would but Lesla remained rather aloof and rarely formed any peer relation with the other Hold children. However, she rather liked listening to the Harper playing the guitar. With the Marks that she earned and saved, she bought herself a guitar. In secret she taught herself to play the instrument as she spent time with the runnerbeasts. Thus it became a habit of hers to play the guitar to relax while she is alone with the runnerbeasts. Being a quiet person by nature, after learning how to read, Lesla developed a love for reading anything she could get her hands on. That is why, should someone be looking for Lesla, if she is not with the runnerbeasts, then she must be somewhere, usually the hayloft above the stables, reading.
When Lesla turned 17 Years Old, her foster family presented her with a flit egg with the hope that the flit inside would help in making Lesla more inclined to open up amongst strangers and not be the usual shy and quiet personality that she presents those that she didn't know very well. The flit egg hatched to reveal a brown flit whom Lesla named Seichou. A rather odd sounding name but Lesla came across the name from her readings. Alas, though the flit helped out a little to make Lesla more sociable whenever he is around, nevertheless, Lesla remained the way she was.
At 18 Years Old, the mother of all surprises visited upon Lesla when she found herself Searched for the upcoming Benden Weyr hatching of Gold Ramoth's clutch. Never in her life did Lesla fantasize about becoming a rider for she was rather content with her lot in life. Destiny would have it that Lesla Stand at the hatching to Impress Green Houkath . But fate is yet again harsh for Houkath was found to be a defective dragonet being both deaf and mute to everyone except for Lesla and Lesla's flit, Seichou. Thus Lesla found herself along with other Weyrlings, who also Impressed defective dragonets, being Betweened off to the distant planet called Earth.
Lesla arrived in November of 2010 on Earth. After she arrived, she was physically checked over to be fit and healthy by one of the Earthian Doctors. Some of the things that they used on her were baffling and some where frightening but Lesla endured them all quite bravely. But what she liked about Rocky Weyr was that she and Houkath could have a weyr of their own. She had been used to bunking with her clutchmates and wasn't really prepared to have their own weyr. But Houkath was happy enough that she was the one who picked their own weyr.
Lesla hadn't been staying too long on Earth when she attended the first ever flit hatching at Rocky Weyr. Lesla wasn't really hoping to get another flit, but Faizah had handed an egg with the number 8 painted over it. And Lesla didn't have to wait long when the egg she had suddenly cracked to reveal a bronze. The bronze acted haughtilly enough like he was a gold that Lesla gave him the name Zeus. She had read somewhere that Zeus was supposed to be the name of some god from a long, long time ago.
After Impressing Zeus, Lesla had thought that would be all the excitement there was on Earth, since there were no Threads that threatened to fall on them. However, she was wrong, not long after she Impressed Zeus that there came a storm. It was nothing she had ever experienced back on Pern the evidence of which, there was a great flood that resulted in washing away most of the residences that were situated in the path of the flood. And even though Rocky Weyr was supposed to hide from the public, Faizah had decided against not helping the town of Kalispell. Lesla had been assigned to the Infirmary and it was an experience that Lesla would never forget. Having to interact with strangers was something she didn't like, but those rescuees needed them so Lesla bucked up and offered her help when needed either by the Healers of the Weyr, or by the rescued victims themselves.
Months passed and various hatchings happened. On one such hatching of a clutch of flit eggs, Lesla managed to Impress Green Lovely. Life went into a sort of routine, however, the most improvement over the months was that Houkath had finally started speaking more with Lesla. Houkath has even been trying to listen through Seichou but it was harder and difficult especially when it came to trying to communicate with other dragons for Houkath was still deaf and mute to the rest of the world but for Lesla and her firelizards. On another hatching of flit eggs, Lesla managed to Impress a green flit whom she named, Jade, and a brown flit whom she named, Dragomir. Two weeks later in yet another flit hatching, she Impressed her third green flit whom she named, Xena.
Not much of significance happened to Lesla per se, except for the fact that Houkath had finally had her maiden flight. Lesla had been surprised that there hadn't been any blues that chased after Houkath. And in the end, Houkath had chosen Black Skirth to catch her at the end of the flight. Being a green, Houkath ended up not clutching in addition, the flight being very short may also contribute to Houkath not clutching. Lesla was fine with that, she didn't really know if Houkath's defect might be passed on to her offspring or not. Better to not tempt fate, besides, all too soon, Lesla found herself and Houkath finally graduating weyrlinghood and becoming part of the rank of dragonriders. True, there weren't any Threadfalls to fight on Earth, but that's just fine with her.
No long after Lesla had become a dragonrider, she learned that she was pregnant with Brownrider Liam of Black Skirth. The pregnancy was a result of Houkath's Maided Flight. She had been a virgin then, and hadn't really thought about getting pregnant at the time. Much as the pregnancy was unexpected, nevertheless, Lesla has decided to have the baby with Liam decided to help out with the pregnancy, in whatever ways that he can.

Base Personality: Houkath is a shy and unconfident hatchling, due to her inabilities.
Status: Healthy
Hatching Scene: A small, sickly-looking egg stirred in the sands, glints of sunlight flashing off the smooth shell as it pivoted back and forth in the hot sands. A thick crack developed on the bottom of the shell, slowly growing wider and longer as the hatchling clawed and pushed at it. Small fragments gave way, littering the sands before it as the crack widened into a hole. The dragonnet pushed their nose at it, squeaking irritably as it fought to be free of the confining shell. The dragonnet lashed out angrily in frustration as the shell remained stubborn. It kicked and clawed and headbutted at the small opening, demanding it open wider to allow it out. Tiny sharp claws dug at the shell mercilessly, the hatchling snarling and snapping its tiny jaws in vile protest at the egg.
Finally, the eggshell gave way and the dragonnet was able to slither out of the opening. The green's lithe, lean body was by no means frail or weak, solid and strong muscle rippled under her mint green hide and there was a certain air of grace and agility that surrounded the freshly born green. She sat down on the warm sands, not yet minding the fact that she couldn't hear a thing around her she was content to be free of her prison as she waited for Hers. She completely ignored the candidates on the sands and busied herself with preening, licking between her toes first, then turning her attention to her wings, licking off any slimy residue left over from the egg. She got up and checked herself over, cleaning any spots that were missed. Her hide had a healthy sheen to it.
Once satisfied with her personal hygene, the dragon fluttered her wings and literally strutted towards the candidates. She held her nose up a little, though the gathered crowd was much taller than her. Not yet thinking that she had any sort of defect, her chest was puffed out and she held an attitude of arrogance as she pranced around the candidates, ignoring most of them. She halted right in front of one of the girls, fluttering her wings and nudging the stunned girl. Houkath looked up into the eyes of Hers with swirling rainbow-colored faceted eyes. Their gazes locking with each other, a deep mental and emotional bond was created in that instance between Houkath and Hers.
Although, no speech passed between dragon or girl, the dazed and stupefied expression of the girl in question left the crowds no doubt that Impression had been made between the two.

Hairline cracks began to spread from the initial crack as the brown flit pushed against his shell trying desperately to get free. And with a shatter, the shell of the egg splattered everywhere and a large brown kreeled in hunger his eyes swirling in red.

However, when the newly hatched green flitter charged forward, she knocked herself into the eleventh egg, effectively force-hatching another green onto the sands. The two were clearly related, having a similar pattern of speckles on their hide, and they instantly tried to brawl. The older of the two eyed the younger, and darted to the side, wanting to get around to reach the person she had seen before, only to have the younger fire lizard block her way.
Snapping at the younger clutchmate, the green snuck around the other, heading straight for the young woman that she had locked eyes with before.
