Description

Tall at somewhere just shy of six feet with a head of strawberry blonde hair, Milani tends to stick out in a crowd. Her well-balanced figure boasts decidedly feminine curves, rather than the angularity that often goes along with such height. Her features are on the 'cute' side with a small, slightly upturned nose scattered with freckles across the bridge and a wide, full mouth. Eyes of a singular blue-green shade might draw attention in a pleasantly oval face that's saved from too much softness by a sharp chin.

WYSK

• Milani is a native of High Reaches Weyr, born and raised in the lower caverns and her parents' weyr.

• She worked under Headwoman Hayda for five turns, from age fourteen and a half until not long after she turned nineteen when she stepped into the venerable Headwoman's shoes.

• She used to have an unfortunate habit of blurting out her opinion thoughtlessly. It's something she's learned to curb in the last ten turns, but is still more on the forthright side than not.

• Natives of the Weyr will know that she is the daughter of E'lan, rider of brown Lazryth and Emilly rider of green Sionath. She's also the younger half-sister of P'draig, rider of brown Jekzith, formerly at Fort and now Ista, Giremi, harper master at Telgar Weyr and sister Ilyandra who is a journeyman smith at the Hall. She has several other half-siblings on her father's side and foster-siblings from the Reaches.

History

• Birth Date: day 26, month 12, Turn 48 of the Tenth Pass.

• Weyrbrat at High Reaches Weyr until her mother petitioned Satiet and got her a job as an assistant to then-headwoman Hayda.

• 'Laundered' goods as an off-shoot of the Crom-raiding plot along with fellow headwoman's assistant Amerie. The doctored books are still in the Reaches' records.

• Tangled with former Weyrleader N'thei over the issue of shady traders in the Weyr, especially as regarded a list of items 'lost' or 'stolen'.

• Headwoman of High Reaches Weyr since age 19.

• Made peace with N'thei in the wake of Satiet's death.

• Had first child, a daughter, Milandra, in month 9 of Turn 21 with bronzerider K'ndro.

Youngest child of Emilly (greenrider, Sionath) and E'lan (brownrider, Lazryth), born during the last turns of the Pass and raised by parents who did not have to fight Thread any longer, Milani is just a little bit different from the rest of her siblings. Accustomed to being the apple of her parents' eye the return of Thread was quite an upset for her, given that it took her parents 'away' from her.

As a pre-teen and young teen, she was used to getting her own way a lot, not quite spoiled but on the verge of it. With her parents suddenly on duty so much and not having bonded quite so closely with a foster-parent, Milani turned into quite the feisty, know-it-all, independent adolescent. Very sure of her own knowledge about how things work, she was not and is still not shy about sharing her own very definite opinions about things, though she's tempered those instincts as she's matured and is able to keep her tongue when she needs to.

With her mother's guidance and support, she got a position as an assistant to the Headwoman at High Reaches Weyr when she was fourteen. After five turns of service under Hayda, Milani was tapped by the Weyrwoman when she was nineteen to take over the Headwoman's position.

Milani's interests include math, gossip, fishing, eating sweets, flirting, reading adventure stories and finding odd or unusual items for people in Stores. She's really top-notch with everything Stores-related and though she can be a little unorthodox in her approach to other people, she's an able organizer with a generous heart in spite of her sometimes blunt, or even forward ways. Weybred to the core, she's not shy about flirting, casual liaisons or walking up to a rider after a flight to help out. It's just a fact of life in a Weyr as far as Milani is concerned.

Relationships

• Milani's mother and father are NPCs at the weyr and the headwoman is still close to both of her parents. She also has an older sister, several foster-siblings and two older half-brothers by her mother's first weyrmate. Milani is pretty close to her family, especially her mother, greenrider Emilly and visits her siblings regularly, though not as frequently as she used to when she was Hayda's assistant.

• Milani has a lot of friends at the Weyr, being Reaches born and raised. She knows most of the 'kids' that she grew up with in the lower caverns pretty well, anyone right around her age and a little older or younger probably knows her or knows of her from her days running around the caverns filching cookies and being a brat. Especially close friends include Leova, Madilla and L'vae as well as her older brother P'draig's weyrmate, T'mic at Ista and Journeyman Weaver Amerie at Fort Weyr. C'mryn, bronze Tausreth's is also a good pal of Milani's.

• Stalked A'son, bronze Nikoth's as a teenager. When she was actually legal, turns out the feelings were mutual and for a single turn they were an exclusive couple. The whole Ista's Weyrleader and an assistant headwoman from the Reaches thing made it ... tough. A'son and Milani wound up splitting up amicably and then there were fireworks when A'son returned to HRW. Currently the two could probably be described as uneasy friends.

• Tiriana and Milani have a very long and fraught history that started way back when Tiriana still lived at Telgar Weyr and Milani's older brother Giremi, a harper, was involved with her. This relationship improved mildly and briefly when Satiet died. Since then, things have been fraught again for many reasons and it's highly doubtful that the pair will ever get along particularly well. For the most part, they bury their personal differences in the name of getting their jobs done around the Weyr.

• K'del and Milani have been lovers since the middle of his weyrlinghood. Over the past few turns, a mutually loose and affectionate arrangement has turned into more, though the relationship remains an open one.

• K'ndro and Milani are friends and occasional lovers and have one daughter together, Milandra born towards the end of month 9, turn 21 of the 10th Interval.

• Has a very strange friendship with former Weyrleader N'thei that is way too complicated to describe briefly. Let's just say they have the kind of bond that people who go through the kind of weird and stressful crap they went through (like raiding holders and covering up for it) tend to have.
