Appearance:
Era has no body shape what so ever. Where other girls are have hourglass figures or have some sort of shape to their bodies, Era has none. She is slim, but healthily so, not like some who look like skin covered skeletons and still think they’re beautiful. Coming in at 4’11 on the height scale often means many people, something she enjoys immensely, overlook her. Quick and agile, Era is always darting around the weyr looking for new things to learn about.
Liking to be quick, Era keeps her long hair braided –sometimes with colored string to break up the steady brown), or in a tail almost all of the time. The few times that it is let loose, her hair tends to be wavy and full, and reaches to mid back. Her eyes are a warm light brown, not quiet amber but not as dark brown as most people. Other facial features such as face shape, is average compared to other Pern residents.
Her clothes come in a variety of colors, though she has a preference for gemstone colors over browns and grays. She has some skirts for dressing up, but she prefers tunics and trousers over skirts. The quality of her clothes are good but not expensive as her mother makes them.

History
: Truly not much to say here. Era was born to a pretty well off family, she has two siblings and a mother. Her father was killed in a fight while trying to break said fight up. After that, her life is just like any other’s life. Except perhaps her desire to learn all things. Before her father’s untimely death, her family lived in a small mining community, of which her father was a part of. This was where Era was born and learned to love all the pretty gems. The small family lived there till Era was around six and her younger sibling, Zarend, was two.
Around that time, her parents discussed moving to a new location. Several holds were mentioned, as were a few weyrs. Direction was the biggest holding point between the two adults, and Era would often sit grinning as her parents debated back and forth about the merits of either going south, or going north. Eventually Her mother won and it was decided that they would move to a small hold in the north.
Alas, moving to the small hold did not bode well to the family. At first things were wonderful, Era’s littlest sister, Merah, was born here and her mother’s tailoring skills were warmly welcomed. But as time went on, things went downhill at the hold. It was at this time that Era’s father was killed during a fight between fueding holders. His death caused Era’s mother to withdraw into herself for a time, letting young Era take care of home and hearth. Her father’s death did little to Era’s mentality, she knew that all things died eventually, her father just died a little sooner than most. She grieved for him yes, like any daughter would, but there was little time for sadness when she had to care for her two siblings. Era was ten when her father died.
Her mother got over her grief by telling stories to Era and her siblings about dragons and their riders, about whers and how their job was just as important. Era soaked up the stories like a dry sponge in water. Thus kicked off her desire to learn about all things. It was also the start of the journey to Icy Caverns Hold, it being a far safer place to be as deemed by Era’s mother.
Thus did Era, her mother and two siblings end up at their final home, nestled in the supposed safety of Icy Caverns.
Her mother’s clothing quickly became a good means of financial support,with Era supplementing the income with various small jobs throughout the Hold. Speaking of which, Era soon became a common sight as she ran around poking her nose into all sorts of things in her attempt to know more. Her curiosity lead her on more than one occasion to ponder about being a dragon rider, as they were often sighted far in the skies above. It became a wish of hers over time to visit the nearby Weyr and to question the great beasts themselves about all that they know. Her chance came when her little brother dragged her out of the house to meet the resident watch dragon. Poor Sk'ar probably didn't have a moments peace when Era was wandering about, for she inevitably would make her way to see Verith loaded with questions and an eager ear.
It came as no surprise to her mother when one day Era came running full steam into their house bursting with excitement. Her dream had been answered. She would be moving to the Weyr in a chance to impress a dragon of her very own. A straight answer was hard to come by as Era was very excited but her mother was finally able to get out that she would be leaving with Sk'ar and his dragon Verith when they left Icy Caverns to go back to the Weyr.
