Physical Description of Persona:
Rathandra has a head of thick, glossy auburn hair, naturally highlighted by many hours in the sun. Her skin is tanned and bronzed from sun exposure and a light smattering of freckles cross over her cheeks and the bridge of her nose. Her eyebrows are slightly arched over a pair of warm brown eyes, the color of freshly brewed klah. She has a smile that lights up her face when she uses it. At 5'8" she's tall and lanky for a woman, with a few curves here and there, just enough to give her a feminine appearance.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Rathandra is adventurous and stubborn to a fault. She leads with her heart, rather than good sense and logic. This makes her a devout friend and lover, but often lands her in more trouble than she expects. Gritty and full of resolve, Rathandra never quits, even when things get difficult.

History of Persona:
Growing up the second child, and only daughter, of Master Ramerin and his wife Nathendri, Rathandra spent her childhood days running after her pack of brothers. They taught her how to fish, ride, make traps for small game, and most importantly, how to wrestle. Rathandra loved the physicality of throwing a younger brother into a headlock and making him say 'uncle.' Being the equal, physically and mentally, to her brothers gave Rathandra her plucky courage and stubbornness. Her brothers never treated her "like a girl" but like one of them. This, of course, made her mother's job of raising her into a presentable young lady a challenge, but Nathendri had her own share of stubbornness. So, Rathandra learned how to cook and sew as well.

From her father, Rathandra discovered a love of reading. As a Master Harper, Ramerin had access to many books, which gave Rathandra and her brothers an advantage when it came to their education.

Following in her father's footsteps, and partially to seek his approval, Rathandra apprenticed to the harpers when she was fourteen. By eighteen she was a junior journeywoman, and by nineteen, her life had changed forever.

Just a few days after her eighteenth birthingday, Rathandra was attending a gather with her father as a part of a musical trio. During their performance, Rathandra locked eyes with a handsome man in the crowd. The current that passed between them was palpable. That was how she met and fell in love with Evanram.

When she discovered that he was Holdless, Rathandra was shocked, but her determined personality would not allow her to break off their relationship for something as "small" as living outside of a Hold. When her parents found out about Evanram's holdlessness, however, Rathandra was forced to choose. Her family or Evanram. Rathandra, unable to submit to the yoke of an ultimatum, chose Evanram, and as he had threatened, Master Ramerin cut off acquaintance with Rathandra, and she was effectively evicted from the family.

Evanram and Rathandra were married, surrounded by the Holdless group that Evanram lived with in the edges of Dragonsfall's territory. Despite their father's hard line, Rathandra's brothers were present for the nuptials.

Giving up Hold and Hall, Rathandra began her life as a Holdless woman, but most importantly to her at the time, as Evanram's wife. Holdless life was not quite as adventurously grand as the harper novels made them out to be, but Rathandra found herself happy, nonetheless. The rules of etiquette that applied to women in the Hold, didn't seem to reach into the Holdless group she lived with, and for that freedom alone, she has always found herself content with her decision.

In month 5 of Turn 12, Rathandra was forced to make the difficult decision to signal for a dragonrider when the caves they were living in became flooded. She lived for several months at Dragonsfall as a refugee with her husband.

On the very day they planned to leave Dragonsfall, m12 d14 t12, she Impressed from the Stands a green dragonet from Galgaith's inaugural clutch - Morivath.

Description of Dragon:
Morivath is a snappy, sharp, and authoritative green dragon. She promises to me large, a side effect of her gargantuan mother, but she lacks Galgaith's cragginess. She is instead, arrow sharp and sleek, like a whip. Her midnight green hide is dark, like a leaf that's begun to rot.
