Common
Knowledge: Not much is known about him as he
has been gone from the weyr for five turns. Though what is known is his
hyperactivity, his love of the harper craft, and most know of his odd
emotional state. His interesting style of dress is also easily spotted and
people who don’t know him often confuse him for a young girl as his voice
has yet to even change yet, which some are unsure if it’s going to, and so
he still sounds a bit like a child and looking and dressing a bit like a
girl doesn’t help. He doesn’t care though he says it makes him look cute.

Physical Description: He is a slip of a boy,
especially for fifteen turns. He is 5’1” tall and oonly about 105 pounds
making him have a rather slim and actually rather feminine figure. His
features are soft looking only adding farther to the look. His hair is
blond and is cut on the shorter side. His brown eyes are a bit on the
larger side for his face, but they only add to his look of innocence. Over
all he looks far younger then he is and can easily pass for a young girl.
His clothes. Now this are as odd as him: a pair of shorts that fit tight
to his waist, but are lose after that and stop just above his knee; a shit
that has long sleeves and often frillies around the neck and sleeves; a
hat that fits close to his head for the bottom, then poofs up for the rest
of it; then a pair of boots that stop at his ankle; all of it is cloth but
his boots, his boots are brown, his clothes are often a light brown or
pink.
Personality: He is a happy little thing. He
is almost always smiling and if he isn’t he is probably doing his fake
crying. He can easily be made to ‘cry’ though it is nearly always faked.
When his mother forgot about him he lost his person to cry to and that
hurt him, but then his father was there and he could go to him with his
problems, and most recently it was Zevio the older harper of the two that
traveled with the White Runner Caravan. When he isn’t happy or crying
about some random thing he tends to spend time running about or with the
Harpers. While he didn’t officially become an apprentice until two turns
after he started learning he already loves being a harper and learning.
History: He is the son of a harper and a
dragonrider. His mother met his father at a gather at Fort Hold where she
was stationed at the time. When she woke up the next day she had a rather
large hangover, was sore all over, and her handsome bronzerider was gone.
Eight months later she bore a baby boy that looked very much like herself,
she named him Momiji.
At first things were well for him, but not long before his fifth birthing
day though the Catalysts came out with the fact that it was the
dragonriders who were spreading the plague. The tentative relationship he
had with his mother was shattered. Not only had his father left his
mother, but he was one of the reasons for the spread of the plague. She
quickly went into a deep depression after finally admitting to his
parentage when only caused him more scorn to top of his already being a
bastard he was the bastard of a dragonrider.
It was not long after this that the dragonriders combined them selves into
Southern Weyr, which prompted his transfer or more exactly their transfer.
He and his mother were sent to Southern Weyr where not long after their
arrival his mother started showing signs of the plague. He was scared that
he would lose her, but still visited her everyday wanting to remember her
no matter what. Then finally after about two months of battling it Moji
started to improve.
It was another two months before she was well enough to leave the
infirmary and it was at this time that the young Momiji was dealt a
grievous blow. Sometime during her sickness his mother had forgotten all
about him and all about everything else too her memory was nearly gone. By
this time his father had managed to find him as he had actually been the
one to pick them both up from the hall. It took a few months after that,
but eventually his father realized who he must be and who his mother was
though only vaguely.
After this his father took time to spend with him feeling bad for not
being there in his earlier life, saying that ‘I will love you enough for
both of us’. He had only smiled sadly. Why had his mother had to forget
about him? He didn’t want to forget about her or about the people back at
the hold so why did she forget him?
He quickly pushed past it though, his father convincing him that it was
best for her and he became a child of the crèche. Turns pass and
eventually a caravan that is still somewhat friendly with the riders makes
it way by the Weyr. He was ten now and decided that he wanted to make new
memories. His mother had just had another child his little sister, she
even had the same father as him being the product of a lost flight.
So he said goodbye and left with the caravan traveling mainly with a
couple of harpers that they had managed to convince to stay with them. So
it was that without really realizing it he had started his harper
training. He spent the next four turns with them before they finally made
it back to southern only to find it gone. Sure they had heard rumors, but
they were just usually that, rumors.
So it was that they continued on to where they had heard a new Weyr was
built. Sure enough there it was Last Hope Weyr, but Momiji was unsure. Did
he really want to go back to this? He had gotten used to always being
active and moveing did he really want to just be forced to stay in one
place again?
