Common
Knowledge: Perone comes off larger then life,
much like a celebrity on Terra. She has tried to stay level headed
through everything, but she has been known to take advantage of her new
found rank. She is a charismatic leader and has a way of making the
open-minded adore her, while at the same time infuriating the
traditionalists. She is the first female Weyrleader and the first
blueriding Weyrleader. Perone and S'tar have a strong relationship,
and so do Truth and Wrath. It is in debate if the green queen will
ever let another dragon fly her. She was groomed her whole life to
be a goldrider, and when she Impressed a blue her father disowned her.
It is rumored she is secretly seeking the approval of B'ruk.

Physical Description:
Perone is a short woman, only 5 foot tall. She isn't intimidating in
the slightest. She has straight, long black hair that she wears in
twin buns on either side of her head when she is on duty. When she
is not on duty her hair is usually down. For gathers she has her
hair lavishly styled, one of the perks of having rank. Her most
striking feature are her bright, frosty blue eyes which slant slightly
with minor epicanthic folding. Her skin is creamy and smoothly
tanned from the southern sun. Asian heritage plays a part, she does
not burn easily at all. She likes to wear elaborate clothing, even
her riding leathers are altered. All her clothing is in various
shades of blue and white. She has her ears pierced and favors silver
colored jewelry.
Personality: On
the outside Perone is a charismatic leader looking out for Pern and her
riders. Her only goal to rescue the planet. But really,
underneath it all, she is an ambitious sociopath that will do anything to
keep her rank, which to her is on par with power and greatness. She
likes being in control, and appearing to be the poster child for serenity
and goodness. She will fight tooth and nail to stay Weyrleader, she
even groomed S'tar to ensure he was enamored with her. It was the
reason she chose him for Truth in the first place. She remembers
what it was like to be a faceless bluerider blending into the backdrop of
the Weyr. She does not wish to be invisible again.
She likes festivities
and praise, even though outwardly she plays the modest card. Her
favorite food types are sweets and baked goods. She dislikes dogs
and animal smells, a stable is a place she rarely treads. She is a
sensual woman, and will use her looks if her rank isn't enough. She
has a low tolerance for alcohol, she gets drunk easily. She cannot
dance a step, but she likes to sing.
History:
Perone's mother is a mystery, but she was born to B'ruk in 3299. She
grew up in the crèche as any other weyrbrat would. Her life didn't
begin to become different until she was 11 Turns old. At this point
in time she became Vimie's helper, and at the same time begin being
groomed for becoming a goldrider. This was the same year the
Catalysts started blaming the plague on dragonriders. Later that
Turn the other Weyrs consolidated with Southern and her father explained
so little to her that it wasn't until she was older that she realized that
they had combined because of all the death. Southern Weyr had been
the least effected by the plague and thus they were not as fully aware of
the situation.
Perone stood for the
gold egg at Southern Weyr when she was 14 turns old, remember during this
time females were only allowed to stand for gold eggs. The gold egg
didn't hatch and Perone came away with a mammoth of a blue named Wrath.
He was as big as any average brown with a wingspan to match a small
bronze. In this moment, Perone fell out of favor from her beloved
father, and was no longer daddy's little girl. She tried her best to
appease him, she once even painted Wrath with a yellow colored mud and
took him to see her father proclaiming Wrath to be a gold. B'ruk had
only looked embarrassed at the fact.
Perone was out on
messenger duty when the Earthshake collapsed Southern Weyr. She was
strangely empowered by the event. The fact that Corath had only been
flown by Horath for so many Turns and the resulting poor clutches were the
surface motive. The deeper motive was that she was sick and tired of
being just another bluerider, blending into the tapestry of the Weyr.
She wanted to be a somebody again. She wanted to be visible.
She reveled in
Weyrleaderhood, and when the one egg was laid she searched for the perfect
candidate. She chose S'tar, he seemed weak and easily molded into
what she needed to stay Weyrleader. She keeps him groomed to this
day, though she does care for him.
