Physical Description of Persona:
R'bharra has many scars, both from Threadscores and from his holdless life before the Weyr. He has black hair and brown eyes. He is tall, wiry, and lithe with rough, calloused hands and feet.

Emotional Description of Persona:
R'bharra is grateful to the Weyr, and he is loyal to the weyrfolk, especially those who took him in and accepted and mentored him as a lad. He is still, however, slow to trust those who do not have any experience with what it is like to lack safety, security, and the knowledge of where their next meal is coming from. He is snarky and sly, but he knows when to be outwardly respectful. He takes much pride in his skill as a dragonrider and in his success rate with Searching.

History of Persona:
R'bharra was born without a name. He was the son of a Holder girl whose family sent her to "foster" for a Turn. In actuality, she had been impregnated by some no-name hold boy with no connections, no skills, and no land. She could not possibly be expected to marry him, so he, too, was sent away, but he did not return. When the Holder girl returned home, she did so without her nameless baby boy.

The Holder girl's family did not care what happened to the boy, and neither did the family she "fostered" with. They abandoned him to the elements to die, and he would have, were he not found by the Holdless wanderers, Rillomere and Bharrasso. They adopted the boy and raised him as their own.

Then at last there came a day when the wanderers met a Searchrider. When his dragon marked Rillobharra as an ideal Candidate, his parents insisted that he go to the Weyr. Once he had Impressed Reveroth, he had spent months trying to find his parents again, but he had no way to be sure where the were or where they were going. None of the other holdless he could find were willing to be helpful, and he never found them again.

R'bharra only became a Searcher to pay forward the opportunity he had been given, but it turned out Reveroth was excellent at the job, and she has an extremely high success rate.
