Personality: Myrna appears to be someone who cares about her looks, and that is rather true. She loves to look her best at all times, sporting fancy clothes and jewelry a lot of the time. Despite this need to always look insanely well kept, Myrna really isn’t that much of a priss. Yes, she likes nice things and looking nice, but she doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty whenever the time calls for it, though that can depend on what outfit and jewelry she’s wearing. No matter what, if she does get her hands dirty she’s most likely to go off and bathe and wash her clothes immediately to make sure everything’s clean.
What some might think at first is that she’s air-headed and naïve because she almost always seems to be in a light and bubbly mood. Barely anything upsets her in any way and it is rare not to see a big happy grin on her face. She loves everything cute as well as anything pretty. She tends to call people by cute nicknames, even if she just met them and can come off as quite a bad flirt. She isn’t the seductive type of flirt but rather the cutesy, happy and energetic sort of flirt, that is if you could describe her flirting style.
What most don’t know is that Myrna isn’t at all air-headed. She is quite smart as well as willing to do what she needs to get work done. She’s not at all mean about it anything, and is quite a sweet young woman. It takes a lot to get her angry, and in fact, not many people have ever seen her angry. She has quite the patience for people younger than her, especially young children. Because of this patience, she is a good teacher, knowing how to get down to business without being rude and grumpy about it. She gets along well with children, it common to find her playing with some of the Weyrbred youngsters.
Myrna isn’t one to drink alchohol much, in fact she has a great distaste for it and says that ‘all wine tastes like it has feet in it.’ She seems to have a strong sense of justice and seems to be a very helpful person to add.
Appearance: Myrna has been known to be quite a beauty. She seems to fit the part of a Goldrider, standing matching the beauty of her queen’s golden hide. Her hair is long, never having been cut, only trimmed so it now reaches a few inches past her waist at the level of her hips. It is a light brown in color that shines beautifully from being well washed. It is common for her hair to be tied at the end with something purple or blue so it doesn’t blow all over the place. She isn’t very tan, just lightly suggesting she has trouble tanning. No scars mark her perfectly proportioned body. Her eyes are what once would be called ‘heterochromic’ and are two different colors. Her left eye is a deep hunter green while as the other is a light brown that almost matches here hair color.
Back to her ‘perfectly proportioned’ body, Myrna can easily be described as a pear in shape. She is quite curvy, having a nicely sized bosom and thin waist; her hips seem much curvier than her chest, giving her the appearance of a pear.
Flashy clothes are her thing, loving gold and purple and blue together, those are the colors she’s most often seen wearing. She can be seen wearing just about any color, but blue and purple are who two favorites. Golden earrings such as hoops are often seen hanging from her pierced ears, and it’s almost alien to see her without something dangling from her ears.
Biography: Myrna was born in a minor hold, being the youngest with two older sisters and one older brother. She was closest with her older brother who was the closest to her age. It’s hard to believe that when Myrna was young she was quite the tomboy. She didn’t like wearing fancy or nice clothes and preferred mud and the outside to dolls and helping mother. At first no one seemed that this tomboy of a child could ever be tamed but as she reached her teenage years their hopes seemed to be answered. Slowly she became more like the other girls, keeping herself properly clean, helping mother and other such things. One thing that she gained was the need to be clean all the time, which was really a surprise considering her messy past. It seemed also that as she grew and became more like a girl, her beauty changed to match her new attitude about things. A lot of people joked saying her metamorphosis had been just in time, as it was merely a few months later that a Search Dragon came to her home. A gold egg at Ista Weyr had been laid by the weyr’s Queen and female candidates were needed.
It was true that many thought Myrna was much too pretty to live and work in such a minor hold, and it came as no real surprise when she had been chosen by the Search Dragon and his rider. Quickly Myrna was off to Ista Weyr with another girl from her hold that had been a friend of hers named Nyx. They were only there for a few sevendays before the eggs began to hatch and everyone of the candidates was brought to the hatching grounds, all the girls standing in a separate group from the boys, all of their eyes firmly upon the gold egg. When the egg hatched a pale golden dragon, all the girls seemed to shift impatiently for it to choose. And indeed she did, immediately bonding to Myrna, almost completely ignoring the others.
Myrna. I choose you for you are the only one who is as beautiful as me. I am Shyamath. And immediately a new gold pair was formed.
A lot of Myrna’s and Shyamath’s weyrling lessons had been a bit different from the others, considering they were a young gold pair being trained by the weyr’s senior queen and rider. Their first two turns seemed to pass quickly and joyously. That is, aside for Myrna’s old friend. After Myrna had Impressed to the pale gold Nyx seemed to gain a severe dislike for Myrna. She made things difficult for Myrna, tried to pick fights with her and make life as hard as she could. It had been one of the few things that had made anything at all difficult for Myrna.
It seemed an ‘escape’ from Nyx’s anger came shortly after Shyamath turned two turns. Word of one of the other weyrs, known as Atricis Weyr, were having problems with not having enough dragons for threadfighting as well as the need for another, mature gold to clutch. Myrna remembered that the Weyr’s ex-weyrwoman had been a friend of hers despite their age difference. It was then that the Goldrider requested that she and Shyamath be transferred to Atricis after Shyamath Rose for the first time. It took a lot of talking between the two weyrs before it had finally been decided. The Gold Shyamath then later Rose as had been expected and had been caught by a large and older bronze dragon. Once that had been over with, Myrna and Shyamath packed up their things and made their way to Atricis.
Shyamath later clutched 17 eggs with one Queen egg that all hatched and Impressed. After that, they fell easily into the daily routine of Atricis as a Junior Queenrider for a few turns. However, it was when a plague hit the Weyr that everything was disturbed. The plague killed many, including Atricis' beloved Weyrwoman Athira, leaving the Weyr without a Weyrwoman for several months.
It was after those several months, in which the current Weyrleader, M'rve, had lead alone, that Shyamath decided to Rise for her Flight. Officially naming Shyamath the Senior Queen of Atricis, and Myrna the new Weyrwoman. Shortly after this Flight Myrna chose T’bas for her Weyrmate.
Shyamath’s clutch had caused a lot of sadness, with the hatching and immediate death of a little bronze and the dead eggs in the clutch. After this Myrna got very upset and stressed out, depression grabbing her and making her stress as a Weyrwoman even worse. It lasted for a while after the hatching, a few months, and soon she showed symptoms of being sick for a few sevendays before going to the infirmary, scaring T’bas as well. After the check up, it was decided the sickness was stress and depression related, despite the similarity to pregnancy symptoms, since she hadn’t been showing any other signs.
Shortly after this Myrna took a trip to Atreidai Hold, unknowing that the trip
between had been a bad idea. Turns out she had been pregnant and after her return to Atricis Weyr she fell ill again, this time from a miscarried from going
between. This post has been edited by Marvealle on Nov 13 2009, 01:30 AM
