Description

Standing at just under six foot tall, Ebeny manages not to appear thin and lanky thanks to her elongated hourglass figure. Mostly lean, she's not quite curvy enough to achieve the look entirely and it might be more that her tiny waist becomes wide hips that don't do her many favours. Her facial features are a little more angular, with a thin nose and sharp jaw, her deep green eyes muddied by brown to shade darker in most lights. Black hair falls to below her shoulders in kinked waves, showing no particular pattern or desire to be tamed.

WYSK

Ebeny doesn't really have a bad word to say about anybody (save for Laurienth) and it's incredibly rare for her to demonstrate that she has any kind of temper hidden away.

Laurienth rarely looks before she leaps. Unpredictable, snappy and often hyperactive, her behaviour can be unnerving.

Though raised in a Weyr, Ebeny doesn't necessarily agree with the sort of behaviour known to go on. Her mother is known to sleep around, as is her eldest sister, and though she has a large family, she rarely speaks of them.

It's debatable whether she's really as unfocused and absentminded as she seems, since her focus is there when it matters and she often notices things others don't. However, she almost never chooses to mention these things unless prompted.

She weyrmated C'sel the morning after she graduated, though until then there was little evidence of there being any kind of relationship between them.

History

The first of seven children, Ebeny was born to a High Reaches Weyr lower caverns worker of fifteen turns old, Elyanna. Her mother claims not to know who her father is, whether this is due to circumstances or the number of men she slept with in so short a time, nobody knows. She did raise the girl herself, though paid little attention to her - certainly Ebeny didn't ask or call for much.

Ebeny never really paid much attention to anything herself, certainly not her lessons. More than capable when it came to reading and writing, she disregarded and daydreamed through the rest of her classes and though she developed quite a vocabulary, she rarely used it or let on that she might be able to do more than she bothered with. Content to think and drift, she became known as a sweet but rather absent girl, known for going blank right in the middle of conversations and not catching on to much. Truth was, even when she did notice things, she never said so. In her early teens, she more fell into working in the stables than chose, but actually enjoyed the work and felt that she was being productive.

She accepted Search in turn 19, the night before the eggs hatched, pretty much just for the heck of it. She didn't think she'd Impress; she was almost too old, she was happy working with the runners and thought she'd be back at the stables right after the hatching. She just drifted over from the residents' quarters to the candidate quarters and then... wound up with green Laurienth.

Laurienth was and is, to most extents, nothing like her rider. Unbalanced and often ill-tempered, the green made her life a living hell for much of her weyrlinghood, though Ebeny always tried to cover up the fact that Laurienth took her moods out on her and attempted to pretend that everything was fine. Beyond her personality, Laurienth developed a talent for acrobatics and was actually sort of disciplined when at drills and working within a wing (though still her rider kept her tightly reined in). When K'ndro chose Ebeny as one of his wingseconds for senior weyrlinghood, she thought he was crazy and told him so, and though she felt she hadn't been asked because she was any good, she still stepped up and started speaking up, which began to give away that her absence is perhaps more affected than genuine.

Relationships

Ebeny has been weyrmated to brownrider C'sel since she completed training. Though she can still be rather impulsive and tends to think with her heart instead of her head, the pairing seems to have steadied her somewhat. Casseny was something of a surprise and though Ebeny rather obviously worried for the duration of her pregnancy, she appears to have settled to motherhood quite well.

Ebeny and her mother, Elyanna, don't communicate much. She's been there whenever her mother needs her without having to even be asked, but the two women really don't understand each other. Ebeny doesn't approve of Elyanna sleeping around to the extent that she does and thinks she sets a bad example for her children. Having never really managed to get to know her daughter, Elyanna mostly left her to her own devices when she was growing up. She continues to be bemused about the greenrider's weyrmating, mostly because she can't comprehend how anyone would want or tolerate Ebeny.

Her grandmother, Liannaka shows more of an interest in Ebeny and her half-siblings than her daughter does. Though they're not exactly close, some level of understanding has been reached between them since Ebeny's Impression and she is trusted to look after Casseny.

Being the eldest daughter, Ebeny has been known to round up her half-siblings for get-togethers on occasion, but she really doesn't know the younger children as well as she should or would like. She's closest to her eldest brother and sister, Journeyman Healer Taessin (posted to the Healer Hall) and laundress Eirlys. She and Eirlys have a somewhat difficult relationship held together mostly due to the fact that she would do anything for her sister and accepts the insults hurled her way. That Ebeny is usually willing to look after her nephew, Rysiart, probably doesn't hurt either.
