Age: 36
Birthday: m9 d3
Rank: Wingrider, Ash Wing
Location: Barrier Lake Weyr
Face Claim: Melissa Navia

Physical Description of Persona:
Xasvi has a stocky build that she keeps in impeccable physical condition thanks to the fact that she loves working out. She has black hair she keeps extremely short on the sides and back and longer on top, which always looks artfully disarrayed, and she has thick dark eyebrows in a beautiful arch. She's considered classically striking with her strong cheek and jaw, and her dark brown eyes.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Xasvi describes herself as intense, tough, independent, and daring. When she was younger, her foster mother and Weyrlingmaster would have said stubborn, reckless, and brash. She has one of those charismatic large personalities that draws others’s attention - all eyes are on her, whether people love or hate her. It’s in large part because she doesn’t know the meaning of “holding back” and is seen as “too much”, whether it’s with her actions or her words - to Xasvi, everything she does is worth doing to the fullest. Her tongue can be playful, complimentary, or cutting, but it’s never still.

That said, she’s not so stubborn and hotheaded as to be a problematic wing rider. Her intensity means she puts her alls into drill and Fall, and in what is often a surprise to others, she’s become smart enough to know her limits and not (usually) perform unnecessary risks.

History of Persona:
Xasvi, the eldest daughter of gold rider Rasme and rider X’vin, was born at Vista Point Weyr and raised by Rugatha, like many of Rasme’s children. Xasvi’s big personality was apparent early and while it did not endear her to many of her fellow weyrbrats, her siblings cared about her, especially older brother D’men. Her tempestuous and charismatic personality meant she had a mixture of followers delighted to be in her sphere and rivals who loathed her. Xasvi, never one to enjoy feeling overlooked, enjoyed both states.

She was never attracted to a specific craft but she also hated the idea of being a caverns worker forever, so she was grateful when she Impressed at her veyr first clutch, when she was barely old enough to stand. In weyrlinghood, they were a terror, Llymlaeth passionate and headstrong and so similar to her that they turned into a feedback loop of daring. It didn’t help that her main rival Yvedra had Impressed as well. In the small clutches of the time, clutchmates butting heads so aggressively made for an Experience of weyrlinghood.

Because she Impressed before there were the full signs of a coming Pass, Xasvi had a halcyon few Turns of wanderlust. She loved running packages and carrying passengers and taking extended travels across the land. Having to move into a traditional Weyr structure made her feel confined, though the challenge of training for Threadfall and then flying it and finding out they did great made up for a lot. Still, she has wanderlust, and she has flown at several different Weyrs - the opening of Ista, then five turns at Dream's End, and now she's set her sights on transferring one more time for the novelty.

Dragon's Name: Llymlaeth
Dragon's Age: 23
Dragon's Hatching Date: m5 d3
Dragon's Colour: Green
Next Mating Flight: m6 d23 of turn 13
Description of Dragon:
Llymlaeth is a massive green built like and with endurance rivaling a blue’s. When she flies, it is as though she commands the winds themselves, and her innate sense of direction outpaces even the best of navigators. She is the green of tropical lagoon water with light flecks like wavecaps.

Like her rider, Llymaeth is a gold-size personality in a green shell. She is tempestuous in nature, one moment socializing in the middle of a group of dragons, and the next snappish and aloof. She cares not at all for formal or stilted speech and would likely fit in among the patrons of any tavern or alehouse- either as one of them, or as the no-nonsense keeper, depending on her mood. She is especially fond of fish and can easily snatch them from beneath the waves on a whim.
