History

In The Beginning

Big Bay Hold is the place Farideh calls home. Every little facet about the place: the climate, the people, the clothing are all things she adores. Loyalty to home is bred deep into her, extending far beyond the typical familial bond. She was raised by a pair of holders, Korek and Anatolia; her father being the younger brother of Big Bay's Holder, Pavrol. They lived in the Hold proper, much to her uncle's enjoyment. Both brothers worked to run the Hold, picking up where each lacked to sort out the tough spots. It left Farideh and her older sister, along with their mother, to kick around however they pleased. Pavrol never married, nor bore any illegitimate children, so the burden to carry on their family legacy was always shouldered onto the younger brother. Somewhere, some distant cousin's son would be named heir if that safety net failed.

Korek's daughters thrived with the notion that their lives were their own, that they wouldn't be expected to uphold their family's duty by acting Holder. Their mother had other plans, as mothers often do. She was a distant relation to some Blood - very distant - but it always chafed that she had earned the right, just not the title. It suited her to believe her girls, as beautiful as they were, would one day land themselves fancy Lords that she could call family. Teoma was the obedient daughter, rapt in her lessons and always following whatever direction her mother passed down. Farideh was the willful one, unwilling to listen or follow orders, always questioning the way things were. Her mother despaired that she would ever find her a match.

They blossomed into young women and, soon enough, Anatolia's dreams came to fruition. In a surreptitious meeting, Sea Cliff's heir and Teoma met, fell madly in love, and became betrothed not many months later; that's how Antolia saw it anyway. Farideh was incensed! Who were they kidding?! Mishal was a playboy and everyone within Igen's territory knew it; his affairs were legendary. She exerted efforts over the next turn to try and break the couple up, to no avail. A glamorous marriage at Sea Cliff Hold sealed the deal. It was frustrating to Farideh, who thought her sister would never be happy with such a man but her futile efforts only earned her sister's ire. Afterwards, Teoma refused to speak to Farideh, and left it up to their mother to relay any news.

That left Farideh to their mother's schemes. To no one's surprise - save her family's - Farideh packed up her belongings and headed out not long after the ceremony. Her mother tried to plead with her, her father was stricken, but what were they going to do when she left, without a word, and headed off with some bluerider in the middle of the night?

The Laundry Life

From a life of luxuries and excess, settling into a Weyr full of free-living weyrfolk and dragonriders was not going to be as easy as she had originally anticipated. It wasn't as easy as throwing on a patched up tunic or as scary as the holder stories portrayed, but it was better than life at Big Bay, where her every move was watched and critiqued, and her future was full of frumpy gowns, babies, and boring social functions with an as yet nameless husband. Right away she signed up as a laundress in High Reaches' lower caverns -- among other things, there wasn't much a spoiled holder's daughter could do as a job. Certainly, it wasn't glamorous either, and her hands often became dry, cracked, and red from the constant exposure to water, soap, and other solutions they used in the laundry.

In time, she came to see that the Weyr wasn't such a horrible place - despite how strange weyrfolk were and their terrible morals and etiquette. She quickly made friends, though those bonds would be tested over the turns; from teenage girl to young woman, many things would eventually change. One of the first, and closest, friends she made was Lys, who worked in the kitchen, and after that came the likes of Klohi, T'mic, Quinlys and Itsy (which was further complicated by their mutual acquaintance, Drex).

While Farideh was at High Reaches, unbeknownst to her, High Reaches was in dealings with Igen for a loaner junior gold to fill the ranks after the untimely demise of Aishani. It was Irianke -- a woman that Farideh knew well from her political dealings with Big Bay -- who transferred in at Weyrwoman Azaylia's behest. Quickly, they rekindled their relationship, though by now it was much more complicated, and Farideh found herself leaning on Irianke as a familiar piece of their home.

Irianke's gold Niahvth rose shortly after her transfer and was caught by bronze Reisoth, and it was this clutch that Farideh chose to ask to Stand for. It was also during the gold's flight that Farideh found herself entangled with her frenemy, Drex, which was the beginning of their love tryst. During the cycle, which was a whirlwind, there were many poignant moments, one being the death of Weyrwoman Azaylia during the Igen bazaar put on by the Weyr.

Her loyalties and beliefs were tested a few times during the whole process, but on that day when the eggs started rocking and hatching, Farideh's life changed forever. She walked away the lifemate of gold Roszadyth.

Teoma: Sister. Confidante. Best friend. I know you hate me right now, but I only want you to be happy.
Mishal: Brother-in-law. Idiot. Don't screw this up. You get one chance. Be a good husband and a good dad. Try, for once.
Yuliye: Rolemodel. I want to be like you. I want to have your confidence and verve for life.
Joremy: Almost family. I like you. I really do. I want you to be happy. But did you have to do it at the expense of everyone and everything else?
Wulfan: Leader. Lord. I wish things would have ended differently for you. I still respect you.
Pavrol: Uncle. Second dad. You never thought I was too much. You looked at me and saw the real me.
Irianke: Confidante. Pseudo-family. If only I could be more like you. Stronger, braver, smarter. Now you're here and it's feels almost as good as going home.
