Physical Description: Luyna has long, straight, red auburn hair that falls to her shoulders. Her eyes areblue-green and seem to grow darker when she is mad, upset, or sad and lighter when she is happy or excited. They can seem moreblue or green depending on the color of the clothing she is wearing. Of course, it could just be the lighting. She is slender and small for her age, appearing to be younger than 16. Her left hand has a scar on it from a deep cut that never healed properly so she has limited use of it. Scars trace along her back from beatings that she withstood. A unique mark is that of a small diamond on the lower middle part of her back; it is her birthmark.

Personality: Luyna is very shy and has never made any true friends, so she's never quite certain how she should interact with others. She hates being around when fighting or even arguing is present, but can be bold if she puts her mind to it. If she is approached in a harmless way, she will stay. Otherwise, she flees. She is a timid girl and it is hard for her to trust others. She is intensely private and rarely discusses details of her past with anyone. She is easily startled and intimidated. However, once you get to know her, she is kind and loyal.


History: Born on a summer day in Telgar hold to a rider and a drudge Luyna and her twin were the result of a gold mating flight. At three Turns old, her father became ill and passed away; her mother, who had been exhausted by caring for him and stricken by grief, soon became sick with the same illness and died. One of her mother's sisters and her spouse offered to take one of the children, but they could only afford to take one. Their mother wanted kyle to be send to the healer hall to train as a healer and Phacia was sent to another aunt and uncle that was weavers. It was agreed that Luyna would benefit mostif she stayed in telgar. So she was sent to live with her aunt and uncle in Telgar Hold while her siblings remained in Benden.

As soon as she could, she began to write letters to her twin Phacia and her younger sister. It was hard being separated from them. Other than that, her life was all right. Her aunt and uncle weren't wealthy and just managed to tithe and feed them, but they did love her. Turns passed and she began attending school with the Harpers. It was while attending these classes she became friends with the Lord Holder's daughter.

Of course, her aunt and uncle were delighted with this friendship, hoping that it would benefit them later. Luyna became close to the girl and spent quite a bit of time with her when she wasn't doing chores. She began to grow into an attractive young woman. Her good friend's brother began to notice.

He began to flatter her and give her small gifts. Her aunt and uncle's hopes rose even higher. However, the girl's dreams lay elsewhere. To be exact, in the Weyr. She wanted to follow her parent's footsteps and become a rider. But she didn't tell that to her aunt and uncle, fearing they would find her ungrateful. So she decided not to become an Apprentice and stay on in the Hold. Maybe she would be Searched...

But she wasn't. The attentions of the Lord Holder's son became harder to avoid and finally at a Gather, he took advantage of her. He threatened to turn out her aunt and uncle, who were getting on in years and had no children, relatives, or friends in other Holds who would be able to take care of them, if she told. So she didn't.

He continued to blackmail her and things just got worse. Her aunt and uncle didn't notice the bruises or wounds, which she skillfully hid. When he severely wounded her hand two Turns later, she decided that she couldn't stay. A Trader caravan arrived and she left with them.

She travelled with them for a little while until she came to Last hope Hold. A kindly couple who like her aunt and uncle had no children of their own offered to take the girl. They pitied her and could tell that she had been through a lot. Two Turns passed happily. On her 16th Turnday, They gave her a gutar so she would get more training from the hold harper. They wanted her to becom a harper. Because she had a lovely voice and played like one.

About four months after turning 16, a Searchrider arrived. She joined the hopeful throng of candidates, her dream of Impressing still strong. To her delight, she was Searched. Of course, she wasn't sure what the dragon saw in her, but she wasn't going to complain. So she bid the kindly couple goodbye and headed to Last Hope.
