Tall, more handsome than pretty, and dignified without fault, Mielline has the bearing of one completely at home with her position and life; good breeding is a cornerstone of everything she is. Her dark blonde hair is most frequently worn bound up upon her head and secured with unornamented pins; worn down, it's halfway down her back, and faintly waved. She has dark brown eyes and a narrow chin, a long, slender nose, and high cheekbones. Now in her mid-thirties, she's slender and toned, and dresses conservatively in tailored trousers and blouses; when she's not at work, a skirt is more common.
The daughter of a minor holder in the Nabol area, with direct blood ties to Ustelan, Mielline's future ought to have been one of marriage and family, probably something strategic that would bring prestige to her father. At sixteen, she was engaged to a promising young man from a larger Hold in the area, but before the wedding could be held, the following turn, the young man was tragically killed. It was during the period that followed, as her father attempted to find a new (and, perhaps, better) match for her, that searchriders from High Reaches arrived, and proposed an alternative plan. Mielline's father was less keen, but his daughter's enthusiasm swayed him, and the girl departed for the weyr the same day. When the eggs hatched, she Impressed blue Corobith, taking to the rider life like a duck to water. She'd been Wingsecond of Snowdrift for only a turn when the Comet Falls commenced, and was promoted to Wingleader a few months after they finally ended, her Wingleader having decided it was high time for a proper retirement.
Mielline has turned the skills she was raised with to use within her wing, now that the Interval is in full swing, though the end result is anything but traditional. Unconventional though it may sometimes seem, Snowdrift is hard to overlook as an excellent example of what an Interval wing can be.
