At a Glance

WYSK

Ebeny doesn't seem to 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. She favours browns, particularly Wroth and Corvinth, and the occasional blue, when she rises. Her flights are often (notoriously) rough.

Ebeny weyrmated C'sel the day after she graduated, though until then there was little evidence of there being any kind of relationship between them. They have a daughter, Casseny (M13 T21), nicknamed Cassie for short, and a son, Caleb (M10 T25). Ben and C'sel parted ways in turn 32, though continue to raise their children together.

In turn 32, E'dre moved in with Ebeny and the two weyrmated before the turn was out. It is common knowledge that the Weyrsecond and the Weyrlingmaster had been lovers for turns before this. They have three daughters: Elayne (M1 T30) and twins Eden and Eryn (M4 T33).

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

She is half-sister to Eirlys, brown Aruseth's rider and Spinnaker Wingsecond of Ista Weyr.

She weyrmated C'sel the day after she graduated, though until then there was little evidence of there being any kind of relationship between them. They have a daughter, Casseny (M13 T21), nicknamed Cassie for short, and a son, Caleb (M10 T25). She and C'sel separated in turn 32.

Ben is also mother to Elayne (M1 T30), E'dre's daughter. The girl was given to E'dre and A'ryk to raise until turn 32 brought changes in their relationship. Ben later gave birth to twins Eden and Eryn, fathered by her weyrmate, E'dre (M4, T33).

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. She 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.

Ebeny was weyrmated to brownrider C'sel since the morning after she graduated. Though she was rather impulsive and still tends to think with her heart instead of her head, the pairing seemed to steady her somewhat. Casseny was something of a surprise and though Ebeny rather obviously worried for the duration of her pregnancy, she settled to motherhood well and in later turns gave C'sel a son, Caleb. Her time at the 'Reaches drew to a close when her siblings began more and more to look to her as a mother figure, taking no responsibility for their own actions. She and C'sel moved to Fort to accept posts as assistant weyrlingmasters, and though their relationship lasted several more turns, it eventually reached a quiet end. More quickly than might have been proper, Ben found herself weyrmated to her best friend, E'dre.

She is currently Weyrlingmaster at Fort Weyr and spends time now and then as part of Jasper wing when there are no weyrlings in training. She may never be one to shout loudly about what she wants or make demands, but her devotion to the weyrlings and proper training of assistants is clear, to the extent that she initiated a new training program for weyrlingstaff to try and ensure that potential talent for teaching was recognised early.
