Long-bodied and slender, trim without being tiny, Telavi is a lithe girl in her late teens or early twenties. Her face is long, too: long and narrow, with deep dimples when she smiles, a wide, full-lipped mouth, and a nose that could be handsomely masculine in a different context. She has blue-green eyes, set beneath expressive brows that are only slightly darker than the dark blonde of her waist-length hair.

Complementing her fair, tanned skin, she favors coral and slate blue for her clothing: tunics over short skirts when the weather allows, tunics and trousers when it doesn't.

Tela's smartly tailored riding leathers are piped in the colors of the usually-embroidered blouses she likes to wear, coral and slate blue with hints of cream and plum that complement her fair, tanned skin and add vibrancy to the neutral brown wherhide. Her knot and badge are secured unobtrusively into place, and her hair's usually braided to avoid flight-tangling, allowing a glimpse of the tiny faceted studs in her ears.

== History ==
 
  
'''Month 1 of Weyrlinghood:'''
+
* ''If you work in '''stores''':''  Tela can still be found there at times, if only rarely now that rationing began in early turn 32. The former seamstress is a picky, picky, picky girl, but she puts things away and there haven't been any mysterious disappearances during her visits. (Are you cleaning out your weyr? Tela's still looking for a couple more couches, though they have to be just right.)
 +
* ''If you hang out in the '''Snowasis''':''  Tela showed up about once a seven, usually for a simple glass of beer or white wine, and usually only long enough to hook her catch of the day. Since joining Boreal, she visited more often in the company of her wingmates as well as former clutchmates, and was unobtrusive about making a cheap drink last. Around the end of Turn 32, what used to be a pattern varied drastically until around the time of the hatching in Turn 33; since then, she's mostly engaged in fly-bys and occasional longer visits, including with her former wing... but then, the weyrlings are still young enough to require irregular hours (and rumor has it that her co-workers have their own stash).
 +
* ''If you were a '''wingleader''' when she was a weyrling:'' Telavi attended almost all of the meetings instead of the required one a sevenday. She stayed quiet, presentable, and attentive in a way that seemed quite natural, and at times she sought out an individual wingleader afterward for a quiet, thought-out question. Her notes for acting weyrleaders Taikrin and Sisha had become clear, concise and relatively unbiased, though if anything, she put a positive spin on interpersonal dynamics. She may have been sucking up, but at least it's subtle! It looked for a while there as though she would be tapped into Snowdrift, but reportedly, Z'ian pulled strings. Some might also know that she reports at intervals to Lady Tillek at the behest of the weyrwomen.
 +
* ''If you were a '''weyrling''' with her:'' if you got on well before graduation... or maybe even if you didn't... she's probably happy to catch up with you now. She also often shows up to D'kan's poker nights, though she's still learning the game.
 +
* ''If you were in '''Boreal''':'' Telavi appeared to be enjoying Boreal, diminishing any rumors that it wasn't a wing she wanted. She made a habit of listening to more experienced riders and not getting snotty about her former silver thread status, though her love of <strike>questions</strike> analysis did come out sometimes, along with easy confidence and a definite sense of humor that sometimes verges on smartassery. She worked hard, dressed as girly as she could efficiently get away with, and liked to have a good time with the wing; it's just that one day a month that she wasn't good for much. Solith was more of a lightweight, but a ''cheerful'' lightweight.
 +
* ''If you were a '''weyrling''' for her first class:'' Telavi's all about being ''helpful'' and ''cheerful'' and ''finding solutions''. She is, however, not the most patient person on the planet, at all. She also gives haircuts quite gladly, despite being one of a couple girls who (or so rumor may have it) talked their way out of it in ''her'' class. Tela seems to enjoy her boss's company (at least when she's not caught being impatient...), is fine with J'vain, and I'zech... well, he's I'zech.  As for Solith, she's generally happy to play (and/or to kill things), as long as nobody's ''too'' rough, more fearless than one might expect from her seeming fragility.
 +
* ''If you're in '''Savannah''':'' You're awesome, end of story.
  
It's hard to say how much Telavi has changed since the hatching, since she was Searched so very soon beforehand, but she certainly acts as though she hasn't had to acclimate to much. Yes, there are the occasional episodes of shy observation, but mostly she's friendly enough, self-confident and good-humoredly pleased at her luck. There's the traditional soft look in her eyes when she spots her dragon (and the exasperation when Solith wakes her up by licking her face), but mostly she carries Solith around on her shoulders nearly everywhere she goes, much as a little girl might carry her doll or an older woman wear her marriage mark on a chain.
 
  
As for Solith herself, she's still small, with those insubstantial-looking wings she's so careful of when playing with the other hatchlings, and with an airy mind-sense that notices but glosses by nearly everything without particular remark. Maybe she really is an airhead?

'''Month 2:'''
 
  
Telavi is not a fan of exams. She doesn't like being evaluated, and it's not a secret that she doesn't really see the point once she's proved she's not illiterate. Her handwriting isn't bad, though it fails when she's in a hurry, and it's littered with abbreviations and run on sentences. Here's how her tests will probably fall out:
+
= Relationships =
  
* Math will be her strong suit... to a point. Calculations, conversions, algebra and geometry, she can usually pull off in her head and quickly, too. (Even if she mentally translates it into figuring out fabric for a dress.) Anything beyond that, though, she's never learned.
 
* History will be her weak suit unless she gets in gear, and even then, how much can she learn in such a short time? She's approached K'zin and C'wlin, but they seem to be pretty much opposites in terms of knowledge and pretty much the same in terms of usefulness. She hasn't yet been convinced what the point is about this either (beyond just passing exams), especially since High Reaches seems to be changing everything anyway.
 
* Reading and writing are just fine for her in terms of understanding. Telavi can learn things through reading and can express her opinions through writing, and she knows her way around a persuasive argument. However, she isn't the best at gauging the right amount of details to use to support her assertions, especially if an answer seems obvious (she doesn't like to show her work in math either) which is related to how she has little to no sense of formal structure.  Essentially, her writing is a matter of transcribing what she would say out loud.
 
* When it comes to geography, let's just say that Telavi can place the major Holds, Crafts and Weyrs on a map, and a few more in the Benden coverage area... but that's about it. What might not come across in examinations is that she also doesn't have the best sense of direction.
 
  
Solith is often off wandering around, doing her own thing, or else sleeping (or 'sleeping') in somebody's couch, not necessarily her own. She likes to pick up things and bring them home. However, while Telavi takes diligent care of her, the two just don't seem to be as close as a lot of other pairs.
+
* [[Meara]] and [[Quinlys]] were her WLMs, [[I'zech]] her favorite (maybe?) AWLM.
 +
* [[Alida]], [[C'wlin]], [[D'kan]], [[E'sren]], [[K'zin]], [[N'hax]], [[N'ky]], and [[Sabella]] are people she Impressed with. There's always more to it, though, isn't there? In several cases, a lot more.
 +
* Others include N'gan and Quielle, who used to be cute study partners but now N'gan can crawl up Faranth's backside and stay there, and J'tor whose Adrovanth Solith likes but as for J'tor himself, ''whatever''. Sh'mel is a bit of a damp washcloth.
 +
* [[Jo]] dates back to Tela's former life, but now there's Solith, who plays around with Tacuseth... and looks up to [[H'kon]]'s Arekoth.
 +
* Speaking of former life: G'then is her uncle, Th'vin his weyrmate, Sasha her ex... but almost no one at HRW knows any of that.
 +
* Tela's acquainted with [[Aishani]] and [[K'del]] as well as [[Azaylia]] by now, though in very different ways. [[Taikrin]] was impressive, [[Sisha]] effective but less exciting.
 +
* [[Madilla]] might be perfect, her apprentice Jinja is fun, and <strike>Treinan</strike> the other one is a spoil-sport.
 +
* [[Tayte]] is a vintner 'chum,' [[U'by]] is.. U'by?
 +
* Lady [[Edeline]] is ''so'' uninformative.
 +
* Babetta is ''very'' informative... when she's around, sigh.
 +
* [[Quinlys]]' Olveraeth flew Solith the first time; [[H'vier]]'s Reisoth the second (sorry, Tayte!).
 +
* [http://ncmush.net/Category:Boreal_Wing Boreal] was her wing, [[Z'ian]] her wingleader, and old grumpy Oisa and not-so-old not-so-grumpy F'ren were her wingseconds before Oisa took over in Z'ian's absence. Wingmates included clutchmates [[C'wlin]], [[E'sren]] and [[N'hax]].
 +
* She doesn't know [[R'hin]]'s ''name''. Make that, ''didn't''... and now he's her wingleader.
 +
* When Tela first took up working for [[Quinlys]] along with [[I'zech]] and J'vain, her junior class of weyrlings included [[A'rist]], [[G'laer]], [[Ghena]], [[Klohi]], [[L'sha]], and [[Rh'mis]].
 +
* Lilabet (not Lily!) is sweet. And... she actually ''wants'' to be a ''greenrider''...?!
  
  
'''Month 3: '''
 
  
The [[Logs:Bathing_Bedlam|accident]]  that landed Telavi, Alida, K'zin, and associated dragons in the infirmary is the major event of Tela's month, and is followed by a further [[Logs:Weyrling_Catchup|report to Quinlys]]. Other than that, there is some studying (thanks to breakfast-mate Sabs' prodding), some hunting (Solith really, really likes hunting), and even some behaving.

'''Month 4:'''

<center>[ [[Telavi/Logs|the full list]] ] <br>[ [[Telavi/Mentions|logs Telavi is mentioned in]] ]</center>
  
This month sees Solith excited about flying for real (if this is a drinking game, you can take a gulp every time she flutters), which has led to her getting into things even more. She listens closely to other dragons who seem to know what they're doing, especially the older ones, and learns as best she can. 
 
  
In contrast, Telavi's easy energy has thinned with all the extra work she'd been given along with the silver thread (also in the group: E'sren and Sabella, who have become her regular study partners, though she hangs out with Quielle and N'gan as well). She'd never anticipated needing such skills, and she hasn't the drive and ambition of some of the others, to the point where she probably wouldn't have made it even this far without their encouragement; the divisiveness in reaction to the selection of a few hasn't helped either. Though she continues to regularly receive messages in mail delivered from other places, Tela's replying with fewer and shorter missives in return, and some of the arrivals continue to get stuck in her clothespress unopened.

'''Month 5:'''
 
  
Telavi and Solith have been looking forward to flying as a pair, and since Solith now knows how to fly and Telavi knows how to ride, of course it will be as easy as pie. Right?  Tela's settling into her workload better, living on little sleep and actuallly relishing some of the new information and even more so the ''arguing'' (as well as getting to be a vtol on the wall while the wingleaders meet). Solith has also begun to be lessoned by Rasavyth in how to get information from her rider, but she's still quite the neophyte. They can often be found around the lake, Solith ''in'' the lake and Tela haunting the diving cliff, with or without a variety of fellow weyrlings and occasionally others.
+

In the immediate aftermath of Sabella's fall, Solith's distress at ''Ghislaith's'' distress was more short-lived and easily calmed, while Telavi, not present at the time and then kept out of the infirmary, was left to wring her hands and promise that she'd take notes for Sabs, really she would. (E'sren's would probably be better, though.)
+
== Soundtrack ==
  
Partway through the month, Tela stopped overlooking I'zech so much. Near the end, she and Solith flew for the first time, something that could easily have been overlooked since so many of their clutchmates were already busy flying on their own... and it didn't go nearly as well as anticipated. The next day, Tela was called in for an end-of-lunch meeting with Meara. Isn't she lucky that it wasn't Quinlys?

Father Foster-father: her uncle, G'then, rider of blue Toraveth at Benden

WYSK

Telavi was Searched by Kait(lin) and Jormunth the day before the hatching, or the day of the hatching, depending on how you count.
Winds of Change green Solith isn't Telavi's other half, but she might be her better half.
Telavi's weyrbred, out of Benden. Yes, that may mean what you think it means: she really is a Benden fan. Go Benden!
It may also mean what you think it means: she'll flirt with a rock if it's cute or she's bored.
She also has a longtime 'boyfriend' of sorts, K'zin.
Telavi and Solith rode for Boreal. Those who pay attention to such things may remember they were in the silver thread group as weyrlings, but that's over now.
After Z'ian's 'accident,' Telavi became an assistant weyrlingmaster under Quinlys, working with I'zech and J'vain.
Then Savannah took her, and she liked it. Nita was there too.
Then Savannah left. (Just like a wing.)
Then Savannah came back and just like that, they were back together again... at least until Quinlys came looking around again.
Then there was more swapping until R'hin died and what's with her and doomed wingleaders anyway?

Description

Long-bodied and slender, trim without being tiny, Telavi is a lithe girl in her late teens or early twenties. Her face is long, too: long and narrow, with deep dimples when she smiles, a wide, full-lipped mouth, and a nose that could be handsomely masculine in a different context. She has blue-green eyes, set beneath expressive brows that are only slightly darker than the dark blonde of her waist-length hair.

Tela's smartly tailored riding leathers are piped in the colors of the usually-embroidered blouses she likes to wear, coral and slate blue with hints of cream and plum that complement her fair, tanned skin and add vibrancy to the neutral brown wherhide. Her knot and badge are secured unobtrusively into place, and her hair's usually braided to avoid flight-tangling, allowing a glimpse of the tiny faceted studs in her ears.


  • Telavi was Searched by Kait(lin) and Jormunth the day before the hatching, or the day of the hatching, depending on how you count.

  • Then Savannah took her, and she liked it. Nita was there too.
  • Then Savannah left. (Just like a wing.)
  • Then Savannah came back and just like that, they were back together again... at least until Quinlys came looking around again.

The former seamstress is a picky, picky, picky girl, but she puts things away and there haven't been any mysterious disappearances during her visits. (Are you cleaning out your weyr? Tela's still looking for a couple more couches, though they have to be just right.)
  • If you hang out in the Snowasis: Tela showed up about once a seven, usually for a simple glass of beer or white wine, and usually only long enough to hook her catch of the day. Since joining Boreal, she visited more often in the company of her wingmates as well as former clutchmates, and was unobtrusive about making a cheap drink last. Around the end of Turn 32, what used to be a pattern varied drastically until around the time of the hatching in Turn 33; since then, she's mostly engaged in fly-bys and occasional longer visits, including with her former wing... but then, the weyrlings are still young enough to require irregular hours (and rumor has it that her co-workers have their own stash).

She stayed quiet, presentable, and attentive in a way that seemed quite natural, and at times she sought out an individual wingleader afterward for a quiet, thought-out question. Her notes for acting weyrleaders Taikrin and Sisha had become clear, concise and relatively unbiased, though if anything, she put a positive spin on interpersonal dynamics. She may have been sucking up, but at least it's subtle! It looked for a while there as though she would be tapped into Snowdrift, but reportedly, Z'ian pulled strings. Some might also know that she reports at intervals to Lady Tillek at the behest of the weyrwomen.
  • If you were a weyrling with her: if you got on well before graduation... or maybe even if you didn't... she's probably happy to catch up with you now. She also often shows up to D'kan's poker nights, though she's still learning the game.
  • If you were in Boreal: Telavi appeared to be enjoying Boreal, diminishing any rumors that it wasn't a wing she wanted. She made a habit of listening to more experienced riders and not getting snotty about her former silver thread status, though her love of questions analysis did come out sometimes, along with easy confidence and a definite sense of humor that sometimes verges on smartassery. She worked hard, dressed as girly as she could efficiently get away with, and liked to have a good time with the wing; it's just that one day a month that she wasn't good for much. Solith was more of a lightweight, but a cheerful lightweight.
  • If you were a weyrling for her first class: Telavi's all about being helpful and cheerful and finding solutions. She is, however, not the most patient person on the planet, at all. She also gives haircuts quite gladly, despite being one of a couple girls who (or so rumor may have it) talked their way out of it in her class. Tela seems to enjoy her boss's company (at least when she's not caught being impatient...), is fine with J'vain, and I'zech... well, he's I'zech. As for Solith, she's generally happy to play (and/or to kill things), as long as nobody's too rough, more fearless than one might expect from her seeming fragility.
  • If you're in Savannah: You're awesome, end of story.


Once upon a time, there was a girl named Telavi, with quite a few nicknames depending upon who you were and what you wanted with her. She worked as a seamstress at Benden Weyr, being the niece of G'then, rider of blue Toraveth. Searched to High Reaches at nineteen, she Impressed Winds of Change green Solith the following day (or the same day, depending on who's counting), was assigned to the silver thread group, and was eventually tapped into Boreal by wingleader Z'ian. Along the way she made friends, made not-so-friends, encountered pirates, and hasn't lost her touch with a needle.

  • Meara and Quinlys were her WLMs, I'zech her favorite (maybe?) AWLM.
  • Alida, C'wlin, D'kan, E'sren, K'zin, N'hax, N'ky, and Sabella are people she Impressed with. There's always more to it, though, isn't there? In several cases, a lot more.
  • Others include N'gan and Quielle, who used to be cute study partners but now N'gan can crawl up Faranth's backside and stay there, and J'tor whose Adrovanth Solith likes but as for J'tor himself, whatever. Sh'mel is a bit of a damp washcloth.
  • Jo dates back to Tela's former life, but now there's Solith, who plays around with Tacuseth... and looks up to H'kon's Arekoth.
  • Speaking of former life: G'then is her uncle, Th'vin his weyrmate, Sasha her ex... but almost no one at HRW knows any of that.
  • Tela's acquainted with Aishani and K'del as well as Azaylia by now, though in very different ways. Taikrin was impressive, Sisha effective but less exciting.
  • Madilla might be perfect, her apprentice Jinja is fun, and Treinan the other one is a spoil-sport.
  • Tayte is a vintner 'chum,' U'by is.. U'by?
  • Lady Edeline is so uninformative.
  • Babetta is very informative... when she's around, sigh.
  • Quinlys' Olveraeth flew Solith the first time; H'vier's Reisoth the second (sorry, Tayte!).
  • Boreal was her wing, Z'ian her wingleader, and old grumpy Oisa and not-so-old not-so-grumpy F'ren were her wingseconds before Oisa took over in Z'ian's absence. Wingmates included clutchmates C'wlin, E'sren and N'hax.
  • She doesn't know R'hin's name. Make that, didn't... and now he's her wingleader.
  • When Tela first took up working for Quinlys along with I'zech and J'vain, her junior class of weyrlings included A'rist, G'laer, Ghena, Klohi, L'sha, and Rh'mis.
  • Lilabet (not Lily!) is sweet. And... she actually wants to be a greenrider...?!

Soundtrack

  • Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al - Sabs and Tela, from Sabella, most of it.
    A man walks down the street, it's a street in a strange world
    He is a foreign man
    He is surrounded by the sound
    If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long-lost pal
    I can call you Betty, and Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al


  • Paul Simon - Kodachrome - Solith, from Sabella again, most of it.
    And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none, I can read the writing on the wall
    They give us the greens of summers, makes you think all the world's a sunny day




  • Ke$ha - "Die Young" - TeraBrite and (for Sabs) Wild West covers
    Like it's the last night of our lives, we'll keep dancing till we die
    Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young


  • Monique Blanchet - cover of "Catch My Breath" - Telavi to Solith - for now, just this part
    I've spent most of my life riding waves, playing acrobat, shadowboxing the other half
    Catch my breath
    No one can hold me back, I ain't got time for that


  • Christina Grimmie - cover of "Stay" - Solith to Tela, most of it
    Something in the way you move makes me feel like I can't live without you
    It takes me all the way, I want you to stay
    It's not much of a life you're living, it's not just something you take-- it's given


Not strictly part of a soundtrack, this video of Telavi's PB shows a lot of the expressions she and Tela have in common. You can skip the bikini parts and just cut to 0:34 for geeking and 1:13 for weapons, with 0:10 on the side.



Secret Celebrity Double:


What can I say?




D&D Character:


I Am A: True Neutral Half-Elf Bard (2nd Level)



Alignment:
True Neutral A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.

Race:
Half-Elves have the curiosity and ambition for their human parent and the refined senses and love of nature of their elven parent, although they are outsiders among both cultures. To humans, half-elves are paler, fairer and smoother-skinned than their human parents, but their actual skin tones and other details vary just as human features do. Half-elves tend to have green, elven eyes. They live to about 180.

Class:
Bards often serve as negotiators, messengers, scouts, and spies. They love to accompany heroes (and villains) to witness heroic (or villainous) deeds firsthand, since a bard who can tell a story from personal experience earns renown among his fellows. A bard casts arcane spells without any advance preparation, much like a sorcerer. Bards also share some specialized skills with rogues, and their knowledge of item lore is nearly unmatched. A high Charisma score allows a bard to cast high-level spells.
