Description

Blond, shoulder-length hair is pulled back and tied in a simple runners-tail and rarely left to hang loose; lending a sharpness to her broad features that would otherwise be softened. Steel blue eyes are often narrowed beneath furrowed brows, leaving her features in a perpetual grim expression. Carrying herself with a sense of pride and plenty of confidence, it’s hard to miss that she’s of average height and her build is nothing more than toned; she is not unfamiliar with hard work and it shows.

Her taste in clothing varies but most of her outfits are made to be practical rather than fancy or luxurious; the colors rarely stray far from neutral tones, with only the occasional splash of muted color now and again. Regardless, she’s fairly well dressed on most days, wearing a sturdy woven shirt that tucks into her pants, followed by a pair of dark leather knee-high boots. Aside from that, she has little else on her that would be easily noted and if she does? She keeps it well hidden on her person.

History

Luciana or 'Luci' for short, is a long way from home. Turned down for apprenticeship by the Nowtime Seacraft, she pulled away from her family when they insisted she fall in line. Get married, raise sheep with her husband, have a few dozen kids. She was a willful teenager and took to the road pre-pass where she traveled far and wide, eventually making it to the Southern Continent when the Oldtimers came forward. She can hold her own amongst a crew of men, unconcerned with any mutterings that women on board are 'bad luck' and isn't afraid to get a little physical when necessary. Though truly, her heart is in the sailing.

She served aboard several ships over her lifetime, but the most recent and notable was the Wandering Disgrace. After the Captain's plan to kidnap and hold a child and heir for ransom, Luciana decided that it went too much against her morals; especially when the child later became ill in their "care" with firehead. Her plans were delayed when she succumbed to a wound inflicted on her during Rylov's kidnapping and firehead too; she was later healed by Leevi when he and two other Healers were kidnapped to tend to Rylove. With the constant threat of the Weyr above their heads, Luciana attempted to make a deal with them when she recovered… or rather through a man named Dorean, who she later learned was D'ean, a bluerider.

Despite her turning traitor and arranging a deal with D'ean for her freedom, Luciana was placed in the brig, along with Zavyr. She remained there for several days until her release and it was no secret that she was immediately put in place as an assistant to then junior weyrwoman Clementine.

Luciana was a part of the group who cornered and captured the rest of the Disgraces crew and saw Rylov rescued and has since remained at the Weyr. She's very much aware that trust in her is thin with most of the populace and she's mostly kept a low profile.

Recently, she had travelled to High Reaches territory for 'family business' and was gone for several days. She had left with Drex, but returned alone.

Since then, Luciana has remained largely in Southern Weyr. She had a relationship with D'ean that resulted in her having a son by him. Not long after Lucean's birth, the relationship dissolved but on good terms. She kept with her role as assistant to Clementine, then later to Weyrleader L'xan. When Va'os became Weyrleader, Luciana had begun to grow restless again.

Stepping back from her position, she turned instead to her older roots and habits. While she still cannot get herself work aboard a ship, she has since allied herself with a merchant on the Boardwalk. Now working as an independent Trader, Luciana often travels throughout Southern's territory.

… but her dream and heart remain to the open seas and one day, she vows to sail them again.


Firelizards

Bronze Barquentine (a.k.a Barq)
Long and sleek in build even for a bronze, his hide is an overall deep burnished shade that darkens along the edges of his form. It gives a rich tone to this curved, angular features; crafted as he is from the finest of materials. He holds himself proud and confidently, moving with poised grace and hidden strength. His wings, when unfurled, are as long and broad as his body, perfectly proportioned and the bronze faded to a paler, linen hue. Twin sails, made for catching the wind and riding it with effortless ease.

Green Zabra
The most startling feature of this green would have to be her head - extremely long and sloping, her elongated muzzle and smaller eyes gives her a perpetually sad and mopey appearance. Forest green, darkening to near-black in some places, covers her stocky body in shadows. Pale verdance spreads across her belly, providing tantalizing hints of lighter color whenever she moves in her ponderously slow way. Her wings seem to have retained whatever beauty she might possess in the form of delicate membranes and a dappled shade of green, much like light sifting through leaves.
