Description

Tahi is very much the middle child of her family, in almost all ways. She's the middle in age; in height (middling, even without comparison); in hair length, although that's harder to tell, as she's the one one who doesn't have a riot of curls (her brown locks fall straight and shiny to her ribs). She is, admittedly, the most slender of the three siblings — more than roly-poly Diya, without the masculine upper-body strength of N'zi. Even her facial features seem to draw the middle line between her brother and sister, with her dusky-skinned sweetheart face, rich brown eyes, and ever-smiling mouth above a firm — not to say stubborn — chin.

Common Knowledge

  • An illustrator, first and always: a greenrider, now, as well. She is very talented, at least at the first. She's also not too bad at the second.
  • When Tahira first came to the Weyr, all anyone knew about her was she was bronzerider N'zi's middle sibling.
    • If you actually talked to N'zi, just about all he would say is that she's good at sketches and isn't bad company.
  • Frequents the Tea Room as something of a tea-expert customer, always knowing exactly what she wanted and additionally what other people might like.
  • Came to Igen to draw the new cavern discoveries, and was Searched right out of the caves by Sienna and K'vvan, to Impress green Golgrainth in Rhiscorath & Shalnth's clutch.
  • Shares a weyr with her brother and for a long time was in the same wing as him too, but they're really not codependent, Tahi is just always cleaning up his messes.

Relationships

Family

  • N'zi: Brother, older. They are close enough in age that when they were very young, they drove each other a bit nuts, and as they have aged, have actually grown into being something like friends. Wanting to come to Igen to see the caves, Tahira simply helped herself to his weyr. After she Impressed, he forced asked her to move back in because she'd been doing a good job of keeping it clean.
  • Diya: Sister, younger. The baby, but growing. Trusted. She's in Southern, now, which just increases Tahi's tendency to visit the area.

Clutchmates

  • F'in: Kind, gracious, non-intimidatingly charming.
  • Sa'id: Intimidatingly charming.
  • Th'bek: Trustworthy. Solid.
  • Jaelynn: Gentle.
  • Sawyer: Wild, but Tahi has grown comfortable with her, just the same.
  • Rh'd: Too smart.
  • Delila: Candy-sweet with a dragon to match. Kinda.

History

One of three children born to a couple of Igen's riverside cotholders, Tahira was born and raised relatively comfortable. They weren't rich, but didn't so much struggle for resources, what with excellent access to a port and frequent trade. She's considered of good breeding, though not so excellent as a blooded woman might be.

The three were all Harper-trained, and while older brother Nazir made an abortive attempt at becoming an actual member of the Hall (waylaid by being Searched), she remained at home in order to be the future lady of the house, and used most of that education in order to become as honed as possible at what appeared to be her natural talent — drawing, something she has turned out to be quite good at indeed. Actually attending the Hall would have been ridiculous, of course, as pencil art alone did not make a crafter, and furthermore, Tahira was a girl. Not a suitable replacement for her older sibling.

Nor did she want to be one, having always been perfectly content in her lot in life — she enjoys the talent she has and will seek out interesting things to draw given the option (including people's faces; she and her siblings occasionally set up a riverside stall to sell sketches to vacationers) but overall had no loftier goal than becoming a wife and mother.

Impression to green Golgrainth changed that; it has yet to be seen if Tahi will become anything other than Golgrainth's rider, but after some initial upheaval, it's a role she seems comfortable with.

Title OOC Date Characters Summary

The King's Highway Green Golgrainth

Her hide is vivid without being vibrant, pale without being faded: distinctive grass-green, viewed through the refractive lens of water against a smooth surface. She is all smooth surfaces, from the tip of a faint-freckled snout and fresh-faced, wide-eyed head to the athletic curve of all her limbs, fore and aft and tail included. Her neckridges extrapolate from her water-soaked hide, liquid turned to the steadfast march of ice-crystals in increasing size from her head to the base of her wings; those wings in turn continue the theme, translucent glass-green sails suspended between the framework of spars like sheets of ice between blades of grass. The illusion of youth will be hers eternal, but there is a measure of stubborn pride in the set of her chin, in the hold of her wings, ready and waiting for those who underestimate her based on it.
