History

She's a child of Glasscrafter parents, both of whom are rightly proud of their work although Jorvin remains a journeyman, while Marlie has attained master rank. For about the past ten turns they've been based at the university at Landing, helping to teach there and learning themselves. She was born just over some turns ago to the couple, followed shortly a turn later by a brother Jorl and then her sister Mavie, nearly three turns after that. She was apprenticed into the glasscraft herself just after her 12 th turnday. Those first few months were uneventful, consisting of learning about glass, not actually touching it. It was only after she was charged with helping carry stuff that she started dropping things. Never on purpose, you realize. They just fell when she tripped over her feet or set them down wrong. Thinking that perhaps, she was nervous with her parents around to see her prograss, the craft had her transferred up to a secondary hall at High Reaches Weyr.

They were right in one respect. She is less clumsy without her parents to watch her, although she still manages to drop things. Her self confidence has grown, both from being away, and from being asked to stand as a candidate at the last clutch on High Reaches' Sands for Nemoith and Kalerriarth's clutch. While she did not impress there, she did make several good friends with whom she still keeps in close touch with. So, for the moment she continues on there, making great progress in the academic part of the glasscraft and not so great progress in the practical.

Then, not even a turn or so later, she was asked once more to stand for a clutch. But this time, it involved leaving High Reaches and heading to Western, as Tirae's blue Gwellareth thought she should stand for Ilveraeth and Xalmyrilth's first clutch. A few months of chores and more friends made before that day that she stood on Western's sands as the eggs cracked and hatchlings emerged, midway through the hatching, fingers dropping nervelessly from her friends, her lifemate found as she was joined by Mysteries Unraveled in a Beat Gold Sevaruth.

Weyrlinghood passed in a blur, getting used to having more thoughts and feelings than just hers. She did alright as a weyrling, except for the fights with one of the new bronzeriders, Eh'rim. Misunderstandings and teasing resulted in her finally slapping him. Rightfully punished for that, she avoided Eh'rim for the rest of the weyrlinghood. However, even with the best of intentions, complete avoidance was impossible and things came to a head at the graduation ceremonies. An innocent flirtation on her part, toward Z'ac once again roused Eh'rim's anger both toward her and the weyrleader, and resulted in a brawl before the ceremonies were completed between the two bronzeriders. Another punishment, a dressing down by Rayne about how her behavior affects how the weyr is portrayed to the outside world and she quietly set out to be an exemplary junior.

Much to her surprise, but not so much to others, when Sevaruth first rose it was Eh'rim's bronze Musimth that ensnared the queen, leaving Jolie and Eh'rim to deal with the aftermath. Anger, and denials on their part ended with them eventually not talking and Jolie spending more time in Z'ac's company, away from both Rayne who made her nervous and Eh'rim who made her angry and nervous. It was then that Sevaruth rose for her second time, caught by an outside dragon, L'har's brown Diefeth. She and L'har dealt tolerably well with each other, even as her relationship with Z'ac seemed to be making a new turn. Only to be stopped abruptly by her, with her refusal to sleep with someone that still considered himself weyrmated. More anger at that, and for meddling in his life resulted in a fight for her with Z'ac and resulting guilt on her part for such, after he slapped her. It was not so long after this, that Rayne surprised her one more, leaving her the senior's knot for Western and leaving. Stunned, shaken and feeling even more guilty, she tried her best to step up to the job required and work with Z'ac once more.

Tensions still rose as Rayne came back to the weyr, with Ilveraeth to rise and be caught by Musimth and her staying as Ilveraeth clutched there as well. Perhaps because of this, when Sevaruth next rose she was caught by Z'ac's bronze Xalmyrilth, confirming Z'ac as weyrleader once more. Sevaruth's clutch was barely hardened when Ilveraeth rose again, caught once more by Xalmyrilth. Anger on her part as she barely talks to Z'ac through the end of the hatching, beyond trying to get him to talk with Rayne.
