Physical Appearance: Xesn stands at 5'6" even. She has short copper hair and dark blue eyes. She keeps her hair cut to the bottom of her earlobes. She has muscle from Weyrling Training and when she had been a Candidate. She is a bit on the slender side from moving around a lot and having a fast metabolism. She has an olive complexion that makes her tan really nicely. Though her skin is already nicely tanned, with a soft coppery glow to her skin. If she is out in the sun too long she does get sunburn and her skin begins to peel. She is mostly seen in a tunic and pants. Xesn doesn't usually dress up unless it is for a Gather or Hatching or some other special occasion. She has a nice red dress that she keeps at the bottom of her travel trunk and wears that dress for those special occasions.
She has a small box at the very bottom of her travel trunk. It’s a nice dark rosewood color with her and her golden wher’s names engraved on the top. She keeps all of her jewelry in it. She always wears a simple silver necklace that has their names engraved on it as well. She had received it as a gift from her older brother before he’d been transferred. It also has a ring to match. She saves the rest of her jewelry to wear for special occasions. She has a leather hide belt she wears all the time. It was a gift from her second oldest brother before she left when she had been Searched.
When she is attending to duties she wears a simple dark copper tunic with black or reddish brown trousers. She likes to wear dark colors and will sometimes be seen in lighter colors during the summer months, when it’s really warm. She has a leather jerkin vest that was dyed to a light yellow coloring that she wears every now and then. The coloring is very close to her wher’s golden color. The inside of the jerkin vest is done up in wherry feathers to keep the body warm during the winter. It’s her favorite vest.
Personality: Xesn is a very passionate young woman. And it is most evident in her cooking. She loves to cook and it shows. She loves whers and is very happy to have her gold wher, Xesk. She doesn’t have any children, though she would like to have one or possibly two. But she knows the life of a wher handler isn’t easy. She works hard in her wher duties and as a Senior Apprentice Baker. She is working hard in her craft to become a Journeyman but isn’t in a rush.
She didn’t really have any inclination of impressing at all to a wher. It was just a bonus for her that she‘d impressed. She has an abundance of energy she uses when she’s concocting recipes and it is expressed in her voice. She has a habit of speaking a little faster than normal when she’s really excited about something. Xesn does have a temper, but she’s so good-natured that it takes a long while before she does get angry. Sometimes when she does get angry, she’s mad for only 0.02 seconds.
Xesn has another side to her that comes out only rarely. And by rarely, means once in a blue moon type thing. She is a complete romantic. She doesn’t let it show because she perceives that to be a weakness and she has a fear of that weakness. She keeps it under a tight control, though it does manage to show itself when her wher has her runs.
History: Xesn was born as the third child of six. She was born at Xorosa Hold to a Journeyman Healer, Xesra, and a Journeyman Smith, Sicarn. She was always on the move almost right after birth. She could not keep still for a full ten minutes. She was running with the group of children pulling pranks or finding some kind of mischief. Though she wasn’t the prank kind of child. She had never pulled a prank on anyone. She was just with them for the laughs. Or the punishment when caught, since she was with them. She loved to go for rides on runners at the age of six turns. Her oldest brother, Carsan, taught her to ride in his spare time. And she loved it every moment of it.
For a few months after she’d turned 12, Xesn gave some thought to what craft she wanted to apprentice too. She didn’t want to stay at home all her life and not do anything useful. Though helping to clean and cook was useful. She settled on the Baker craft and apprenticed to the Senior Journeyman Cook. She studied hard and worked just as hard. Her gold fire lizard Ranie was a bit help in sending messages around the Hold and also alerting when a dragon arrived.
She had just barely turned 13 turns when a blue Searchrider arrived on Search for a clutch at Sevaira Weyr. Xesn ran out with the other Holder children and waited. She was bubbling over with the giggles and happiness when she was Searched. She readily agreed and left with the Searchrider that same day with two other new Candidates. She was completely overwhelmed when she arrived at Sevaira Weyr. She quickly learned what she needed to know to survive in the Weyr and was soon taken in under one of the Senior Journeyman Bakers. She worked hard and made a few friends.
She wanted to help feed the people of the Weyr. So, she settled right down and helped as best she could as she waited for the eggs to hatch. And then the day dawned bright and clear when the eggs hatched. Xesn stood with the other Candidates and waited. And waited. None of the dragonets chose her. So she stayed, hoping one would choose her. But none ever did. At the age of 16, she returned home for a short while. A few months later word spread that where was another clutch of eggs on the sands. There was no mention of it being a Wher’s clutch. So, Xesn left her home again, never knowing that the clutch she heard of was a Wher’s.
She arrived in a few days and finally learned the truth of the ‘clutch’ on the sands. Though she thought about it, she wasn’t sure she should be there. But she did and the old golden wher granted her an egg. Xesn looked after the egg like a human infant. She cleaned the shell between her chores and rotated it like she’d been instructed. And the day dawned when she heard the egg rocking and wobbling. Her wher egg was hatching! She expected a green to come rolling out of the egg. But no, a glistening golden body fell through the fragile shell and the most beautiful golden head, Xesn believes, looked up at her and creeled. She quickly blooded her left hand with her belt knife and offered it to the gold wher. The gold wher took it and drank greedily, but took only a small amount.
From then on, Xesn and Xesk took private lessons from the old gold wher’s handler and they learned quickly together. They went through training together and not much out of any mishaps or bumbling happened. It all seemed to be a whirlwind to Xesn. Now, as Xesn turned nineteen turns and Xesk turned two turns, they are waiting with anticipation and interest for Xesk to have her first run.
