Description

Sona is a lithe, short, young woman in her early twenties with wavy blond hair that's held back by a colorful band of silk and her bangs are done into thin braids that drape around her face. She has thin, sculpted eyebrows over deep blue eyes, the hue enhanced by the deep tan of one that spends most of their time outdoors on the southern continent.

Typically the woman is wearing tank tops and skirts or light, airy dresses. On her feet are sturdy sandals that strap on snugly, and she usually has dangling earrings and colorful, beaded necklaces.

History

Sona is the daughter of a green and brownrider stationed at Ista Weyr. Her childhood was fairly typical for a weyrbred child, but over the turns it become more and more obvious to her as she grew up that while her parents were a very regular, stable pairing of riders, that stability offered little comfort against feeling like she wasn't loved. The sheer adoration her parents equally showered on their draconic lifemates was never extended to their child. They gave her hugs and kisses and tried to include her in their busy lives, but she never saw that limitless adoration that came over her parents when they were doting on their dragons. Over time, this feeling of being a 'lesser' family member festered into a deep-rooted anger towards her parents and all dragonriders. She spent more and more time down at the hold, watching the different dynamics of families there compared to the life of the weyr.

In her teen years her time came to stand on the sands. She refused and said she wanted to leave the weyr. No one really understood this, but her parents were troubled. They had picked up on the growing resentment over the turns and attempted to compensate, but it was difficult. They urged Sona to stay — she would understand everything if only she would try and impress a dragon of her own. Sona took it as her parents trying to bury all of their wrongdoing under the rug and blew up. The teen wanted acknowledgement of being neglected. She wanted an apology! They didn't tell her what she wanted to hear, or maybe she was just incapable of hearing it by then. The girl ran away that night and hasn't been back since.

Sona wheedled her way onto a ship to learn how to sail. She was willing to do almost any job as long as it got her away from Ista… off that damned island where there are always dragons flying overhead. Over the years she picked up more and more, and jumped from ship to ship. Eventually she wound up with a crew that didn't care about doing things by the rules. That suited Sona just fine, especially if their business was to rob tithe ships that carried comforts for the selfish dragonriders.

Now Sona is 22 and after spending time on a few ships she's decided to join up with the crew of The Wandering Disgrace. She's very devoted to knocking the dragonriders down a peg or two by any means possible. She knows that they're needed to keep thread at bay, but they're entirely too comfortable in their weyrs and the way they lord their power and hold the population of Pern hostage needs to be addressed. The rest of the people are too cowed, but Sona knows the dragonriders are simply ordinary people that have just had their minds addled by the dragons.
