Edyis
These two struggle from the very beginning, and it quickly becomes clear that they are opposites. Those who know Edyis might quickly recognize the memory lapses and constant distractedness whenever Akluseth is awake as abnormal behavior. Akluseth promises to be trouble from the onset, often (unintentionally) disruptive during lectures. He doesn't stay still for very long, and usually takes at least two reminders to do something before he gets distracted again. Where the pair does well, is in the physical conditioning, Edyis doesn't have to change much in her usual routine and Akluseth while awkward, enjoys the direct challenge of physical exertion. Practice, however, is another matter entirely.
Farideh
The first month of weyrlinghood is a trying one, and while for the most part it doesn't appear as though Roszadyth and Farideh are having issues with separation, willpower, or agreement, it is apparent that there's something brewing underneath the surface. Farideh has ups and downs: happy one day, sad the next, mad another, or simply brooding. Everything is overwhelming and new, from the light calisthenics to the added pressure of impending placement exams and Harper lessons; not to mention the upcoming months of even harder training.
They keep mostly to themselves, Farideh in her self-absorbed way and Roszadyth in not wanting to intrude into the lives of her siblings. When they do socialize, it's both distracted and weary, and they're not long in excusing themselves altogether. Left to her own devices, when Roszadyth is sleeping, Farideh will often find someplace in the bowl (patio ledge, lakeshore, etc) to retreat, to get away from the constant buzz and flow of the barracks. From an outside perspective, it could look as either the gold pair are taking their newfound roles with ease, or that the once-laundress is scattered.
Keysi
The pair are quickly notable to be one and the same- mirror images of each other at the core. Every action they do is a play off of each other to do it better than the last time, or perhaps faster than the other weyrlings. Every day is a challenge to be stronger than yesterday. The physical training comes easy to them, even if Neianth's impatience is an explosive thing when he can't do everything perfectly the first time. It is clear, however that Keysi herself is not excelling at this first month of weyrlinghood. Her biggest struggle is separation, in which at first she doesn't even try. Those who know her can see emotions she's never shown before, simply reflections of Nei's tumultuous personality. The once studious and work-focused girl has been neglectful of duties and shown an absentmindedness that makes even simple interactions difficult. Her second issue remains even harder to overcome- the forgetfulness of Neianth's age as their physical limits are pushed far more rapidly than this first month of growth should allow.
Laine
Lucky: Laine and Lifreyth's sleep schedules align to one another within the first few nights. Unlucky: that schedule doesn't quite match up with what's expected of them. The two are slow to rouse in the morning owing to late, late nights (usually spent together on Lifreyth's couch) and, like clockwork, both dragon and weyrling return to the barracks for a nap in the early afternoon as soon as lessons permit.
But despite increasingly off-kilter sleep patterns, the two are attentive at lessons and answers come readily from Lifreyth and Laine--albeit far more slowly from the latter... almost as though prompted. And, like several of their clutchmates, separation of selves poses a challenge. Laine's complaints seem to revolve around how superfluous and unnecessary she finds the exercises to be--and it becomes more apparent as the month wears on that she's simply unable to distinguish between them. Separation comes in starts and stops, with evident reluctance on Laine's part to even put in the work.
Towards the end of the month, those who are in close contact with the two may come to realize that it's Lifreyth who's the driving force between the pair, feeding his seemingly boundless, perceptive energy back into his lifemate: dazed, Laine's just caught up in his wake.
O'nahi
R'van
Despite R'van's apparent disinterest in anything dragonriding prior to Impression, he and Vadevjiath have made a surprisingly solid pairing so far. Separation of their feelings hasn't been an issue, and Vadevjiath isn't an outwardly needy dragon in general: he keeps to schedule, he doesn't cling, and overall he gets into far less trouble than his clutchmates. Truthfully, Vadevjiath seems more content than anything, lacking his more curious siblings' taste for sticking their noses where they may not belong. He's too serious, too focused, with a optimistic doggedness to him: he's not the biggest, not the most coordinated, not the best; but he's determined and makes steady progress.
R'van is easily one of the most educated among the clutch, owing to his apprenticeship with the Smiths: no stress about exams and placement tests here. He's still somewhat aloof, more focused on his dragon than his fellow weyrlings; Vadevjiath's one quirk is his physical possessiveness of whatever he deems his, and R'van himself is tops of that list. Those who encroach on either of their spaces will find themselves facing the ire of a bronze who postures much bigger than he is. Excepting the leg up his education gives him, R'van is as solid but unexceptional as his dragon: he's smart, which serves him well, but he's completely new to this life unlike many of the others. And while he might not slack, exactly, he's certainly not pushing himself nearly as hard as he likely could. While he's clearly still tired at the end of the day, same as anyone, he weathers it with only a little more snappishness in his typically dry wit. If there's one thing to be said for apprenticing, it certainly prepares you for terrible hours and shit work at the bottom of the food chain.
Rook
T'mic
T'mic doesn't remember much of the hatching. Hesitating before going in, something about a wandering brown, the gold hatching, and then it's just Jorrth all the way down. The first few days, he'll have been utterly surprised and first-time-happy for each and every other weyrling he's met in the barracks, whether they impressed before or after him. By day two, he'll have made note of the faces who aren't there. Throughout the first two weeks, he'll be a little surprised every time anyone than Jorrth calls him T'mic, and may even have tried to correct them with his departed 'o'. T'mic's a bit more his old Tomic self when Jorrth is asleep, though something is clearly not properly aligned in their sleep patterns, and T'mic isn't always retaining much of what's said to him in these times. The big guy's exhausted. Exhausted, and completely and utterly smitten with his blue Jorrth. Jorrth's own enthusiasm to see and know (and headbutt and play with) everything is enough to power the both of them through the constant oilings and roamings and discoveries. How long it will take before T'mic can maturely reflect on how much his life has changed remains to be seen.
Yesia
Surprising some, Yesia took well to the demands placed upon her by Aeaeth in the first month, proving she's got the ability to be adaptable and willing to take on challenging tasks, provided they are something she wants to do. The newly Impressed pair did not get any more sleep than their peers (less, maybe, because she insisted on rising earlier if only to brush and style her long hair) and Yesia had plenty to say about some of the weyrlings' assigned tasks, but for the most part what she has told the weyrlingmasters directly holds true: Impressing Aeaeth did not change her routines or her abilities; she just had to accommodate the chatty green, a thing she did very willingly.
Aeaeth, for her part, is a clingy and very emotionally needy dragon. Lacking as Yesia is in the friends department - and with Paz and Olrina both on blues, engaged in a completely different sense of camraderie that omits her - feeling like she played a pivotal and necessary role in Aeaeth's life out the gate was good for the greenrider. It can be noted, however, that as the month passes, Yesia's patience with Aeaeth is mercurial at best. She sometimes goes from being extremely calm, smiling at the green obligingly, to snapping aloud at her over something. This could be cause for concern, if it's witnessed by the staff; however, probing or talking to the green will suggest she's not worse for having been treated thus, often forgetting anything even happened happened, or forgiving the incidents immediately. She's likely to make excuses for her lifemate's behavior, blaming it on stress or sleepiness or even hunger...but it can be noted she always tells these with the ribbons of color that indicate she might be concealing the truth, both about her feelings and about Yesia's motivations.
