Appearance:
She is maybe a fraction of an inch or so over five feet tall without footwear. She's naturally slender and almost unusually petite, with curves though. An ample figure well proportioned and obviously maintained. Her stomach is firm and well muscled, the slender form of a dancer, but curving hips,and a small bust, nothing that would make her too small but enough to appreciate it on her figure. Her skin is the color of chocolate. Her face is slightly oval shaped, which allows her hair to frame it, without covering her brillant blue eyes,the color of the sky, and though her face is almost perfect symmetrical, her nose is petite.
Her hair is a deep black,the color of night sky it is shoulder-length but wavy and lustrous.In her hair are two braids,the braids themselves are simple twists of long black strands of hair.
Personality: A headstrong young woman, wanting to forge her own road in the world. Though she's confident she's also knows when to pick her battles. Orlaithe's the kind of girl who'll stand her ground when she believes in something. If anything Orlaithe's desire is to make others acknowledge her point of view, which she'll attempt to do, not by howling the loudest but acting as the voice of reason. She's a sweet one, headstrong but its the kind of headstrong that develops because she has ideals, and dreams, visions of what she wants the future to be.
And she /will/ make it happen, even if it means sometimes going against what others are saying. She's an optimist, and cares about the well being of others, and her determination, sometimes translates into stubbornness when she decides to take someone under tutelage. She's a teacher at heart, sometimes strict, other times very relaxed, if she thinks you need to learn a lesson she will give you one, even if your an adult.
She's always questioning, and wondering. Orlaithe's headstrong, fierce, and compassionate girl, who wants to educate & heal people, and help them make decisions based on bigger questions, and the inter-connectedness of things.
Even in the midst of an argument she's the first one to want to smooth things over. Interested in serving the greater good-regardless of what the others say, she has a well-developed value system and is extremely loyal. She is adaptable and laid-back unless a strongly-held value is threatened. Mentally quick, and able to see possibilities. She is interested in understanding and helping others. She is one of those people who doesn't ever get discouraged not by the even by the worse circumstances.
Orlaithe is at her core, a humble girl. Humility to her is important, her way of defusing situations means she brings them on herself. Stubborn, Orlaithe's just plain stubborn, she doesn't back down, if she's threatened or challenged, she'll stand up for herself but she's happy to avoid conflict.
Life is worth living, failure is not an option is what her mother raised her with. She's indulgent at the things she loves, lazing about, lingering to long at one thing or another. She has a love of passionate things, flinging herself sometimes into them too deeply, and too quickly. Her biggest vice: leaving thing to the last minute. Leaving them to do what she wishes.
History:
1238
A night of carrying and and moving things between hold,hall and weyr, drove a tired pair, Vala and her large green Keysath between, and out strangly enough just near the pirate grounds that would one day be known as Smugglers drop. Vala was for lack of a better term a dragonriding mercencary. The Weyr had dismissed her claims and for it she left. Secretly she had joined the coalition that would become Hidden Weyr.
Tired and euhsted the green and her rider landed, and were found by a crew of pirates. Good fortune perhaps, for they were as cut throat was their reputation believed. It didn't take long for the Istan rider, Vala to be be enamored of with a young idealist first mate, Oran. Visits for a few months in the year 1240 produced Orlaithe, though most people simply called the child Orla.
1240
Spring
Born and raised on the ship, The Star Dragon, Orlaithe, was raised on the sea. She fit right in, a child who was by nature a wildly imaganitive girl, she grew up in the quick witted atmostphere the ship presented. With no hold nor hall, she grw up around watercraft, the seedier side of life. Nothing was really hidden from Pernsese children, birth and death all were exposed equally.
Vala, now the Vanguard for the Star Dragon and its crew. visited her daughter and the little girl was quiet enamored with what she often called her 'Big green sister'- Vala's Keysanth. The little girl on more than one occassion declared with great enthusiam that she would ride a dragon!
1244
Orlaithe was fostered at Ista Weyr, her mother still tithed, even though her mate was of the sea. It wasn't impossible, and Vala visited her daughter often. Vala focused on her mercenary ways leaving her four year old in the care of Ista.
1247
Orla's father, Orlan, is made captain of the Star Dragon, which is renamed the Ocean Star.
At Ista, Orlaithe begins to show a strong interesting the art of weaving, so the apprentice weavers begin to teach the little girl early how to do simple threading and patch procedures.
Orla begins to experience the world at the Weyr in a more broader light and her mother introduces her to the her second and third child, and brings them to foster at the Weyr.
1252-1256
Orla is brought from the Ista Weyr to live with her parents on the Ocean's Star. She lives fore a while quietly on the Ocean's Star. Her family around her she's live on the ship and when ever they are in port the young woman picks up skills on weaving and design and anything anyone will teach her.
1257
Orla moves from the Pirate ports, where she'd made a living to the Weyr. After sometime there, she'd seemed to make friends and eventually was searched by green Opheriath, and her rider C'cao.
