The Sky Keeps Fallin'

Description

Eschewing the classically beautiful golden girl motif, Cerise presents herself with a darker allure. Thick black curls surround a face with strong, boldly sketched features. Her eyes are larger than the norm and a rich shade of hazel, under high feathery eyebrows and edged with black lashes. They're often accentuated with thick lines of kohl, both to protect them from the sun and make them stand out startlingly. Her mouth is broad, with full lips, and a natural curve to them that makes her seem to smile even at rest. A dimple marks the end of her squared off chin and other dimples appear when she smiles more deeply, one to each round cheek.

Common Knowledge

  • Oldtimer and unashamed of it, though she doesn't go out of her way to alienate Nowtimers.
  • Was the lead player of a small (minuscule, really) troupe of traveling entertainers, hired by Southern to delight the masses.
  • Stood twice at Southern for their clutches, and walked away with green Jiamoth on the second occasion.
  • Was promoted to one of two wingsecond knots in Catmint; with Jiamoth grounded from Threadscore, it's unknown if that knot will stick.

History

Her history is easily summed up: she was born to the very poorest of cotholders in the Bitran area and named Olga. Everything one needs to know about Cerise can be taken from that event—provided they ever learn this fact. It isn't something she shares with people.

Everything beyond arriving at Southern Weyr is a matter of public record, including the clashes with Weyr leadership over her brother's behavior, raising eyebrows with her chosen profession, standing twice for Southern clutches and finally Impressing her Jiamoth. Weyrlinghood did as it does, taking an already tightly bonded pair and honing their abilities as a team. Though there were challenges- foremost among them that Cerise and Jiamoth were almost too closely linked- they performed well enough to earn the Weyrsecond knot when the weyrlings graduated from junior to senior, and entered Catmint.

Some five months before the beginning of the Pass, at a Gather in Keroon, Thread fell unexpectedly. Cerise was attending with a number of Southern riders, and together with Southern's wings and Igen's attendees, they rose to face the ancient enemy. Twenty-six riders died in that Fall, and many more were injured- Jiamoth among them. She took a catastrophic score to her right front paw, and though the healers hoped to save the appendage, in the end infection and nerve damage forced their hand; the green's paw was amputated, leaving her with three and a shortened limb.
