Family:None; surname is generic surname given to orphan children taken in by the Star Hall.

Pets:
Appearance: Daeka has grown from an adorable little girl with blonde ringlets and wide blue eyes to a charming young lady. While her ringlets have straightened to honey-blonde waves, her eyes retain the wonder and interest of her earlier years, drawing people in a welcoming manner. With the pale skin of the Northern holds and rosy cheeks and lips always turned up in a smile and an attractive face, Daeka’s appearance is magnetic, attracting people with her dimples and smattering of freckles across her nose.
She stands at around five feet one inch tall, but harbors dreams of growing taller like her friend Liera. While a little heavier than her wiry friend, she is developing at the same rate, with her weight fitting in to ‘womanly places’: her bust, her thighs, and her backside. In a few years, Daeka will be quite the heartbreaker.
Personality: Daeka is a people-person, through and through, constantly smiling and laughing and lighting up the room with carefully chosen words to improve moods. She’s quick to compliment and offer emotional support, easily fitting into the role of a shoulder to lean or cry on. To strangers she is polite and sweet, and never stays a stranger for long with her light and inquisitive nature.
She enjoys the simple things in life, and when things get rough, she always tries to look on the bright side – the rainbow after the storm; but often she is naïve of the hardships of the world, the real evils that can reside in people’s hearts. Everyone has a good side, she believes; all it takes is for someone to see it.
Daeka has no stree-smarts to talk of. She enjoys speaking of the lighter sciences, the ‘natural miracles’ of plantlife, rainbows and stars, but without Liera to rely on, she would have a hard time surviving in the real world. …or remembering what she’s supposed to be doing and when. She often gets carried away in conversation and loses track of time.
When challenged, Daeka crumbles. Unsure of herself, her position, she’ll fumble and try to talk her way out of things (relenting all views but those of her morals), but mostly relies on Liera bailing her out of such situations.
History: Daeka’s father died when she was very little, and she and her mother worked in the castle of the Rolling Hills Hold as scullery maids. Her mother was taken by a sickness when she was four and she was left without much care or supervision, becoming just another orphan of the hold to be ignored, helped, or treated in a way that the passing adult chose. During the year following her mother’s death she found a fat orange tabby cat that she adopted and called “Crumbs”.
When she was five she saw her first Dragon Rider and instantly fell in love. From then on her dreams were of Weyrs and dragons, a dream she was teased about by other boys of the hold. When the teasing went too far, Daeka would cry and the boys would continue and often pick on her cat, and Daeka would be helpless, but that was the norm of the situation… until the day when a blackhaired girl crashed down the streets shouting insults at the boys and scaring them off with a stick. She either chased them off or beat them up and sent them running, and afterwards the two of them, Daeka and Liera, were inseperable.
Daeka eventually convinced Liera to go with her to Sky Mountain Weyr; when they arrived they were adopted by the Star Hall to be used as helpers to the journeyman who were mapping the skies from the height and clarity of the mountaintop. The two of them grew and played, always looking forward to the day they would stand at a hatching and possibly meet their dragon.
...
Daeka met and impressed Sunlance Lansteth of Ice Temparanth's first clutch, appearing to the hatching late after dealing with her doubts about becoming a dragon rider. The Sunlance, however, had no doubts, knowing her immediately at her arrival.
Dragon's Name: Lansteth (Lan -steh-th)
Dragon's Gender: Male
Dragon's Age: 0 turns
Dragon's Color: Sunlance ((ece990))
Dragon's Appearance: Lansteth’s color is a little more saturated than some of his Sunlance brothers, seeming even more “sunshiny”, as Daeka likes to compliment, especially when he’s happy and healthy, when it seems to shine from within. He is of average length for a Sunlance, about on par with Blues, with an adult body-length of 26feet, a full length (nose tip to tail tip) of nearly 87 feet, and a wingspan of just over 144 feet. His height to shoulder is nearly 7 feet tall, and he always offers a leg up to Daeka when they fly.
Dragon's Personality: This Sunlance is ever the encourager. He wants his to do their best and believes that by helping achieve his rider's goals he will be the happiest dragon. He will go very far out of his way to see his mine's goals accomplished. This dragon just needs a project. Lansteth just won't be happy unless he has something to do.
Dragon's History: Lansteth was born of Ice Temperanth's first clutch, breaking from his shell long before Daeka arrived at the hatching, pausing to watch other dragons hatch, looking over female candidates without seeing her then heading over to look at the males. A sister of his hatched, a Sunlance like him, (___), and together they waited, until Daeka came rushing onto the sands with her friend, and Lansteth found his Chosen.
Hatching(by Shoki): The Chrome was still hiding. The gazes were still trained on him, or at least too many for his liking. He caught sight of an egg next to him increase its movement and snuck away from it. He was right on the money, since just then a Sunlance broke out of the egg he was wary of. The Sunlance made his way up around the other eggs then started to observe the candidates. After a moment of pondering he started off toward the girls to give them a once over.
The Sunlance male was taking his time looking through the female candidates, having paused to let his more excited Aurora sibling by him. He didn't feel the need to rush, even taking time to look behind him at the eggs when another one hatched quietly.
The pair went off the sands, leaving the Sunlance to mull over the candidates again. He decided to stroll over to the male candidates, but paused when another egg broke. Another Sunlance broke the egg, a female this time. She quickly trotted over to her similarly colored brother to ponder the male candidates. They were very much alike, understanding each other quite well. So they had no trouble looking over candidates together.
The Sunlance dragons were having a time trying to figure out who they belonged with. Still, they decided to take another look at the male candidates, before investigating the girls. They were exceptionally thorough, to afraid to take a look in the back row or ferret out the ones that might be hiding. It was taking time though.
Impression (by Shoki): The Blue dragonet looked like he had it all figured out. He strode over to his rider, and impressed them. Easy, just find yours and head off the sand. Nothing too complicated there. The two Sunlances were not as convinced, as they started over to the female candidates. Suddenly the male Sunlance ran over to the females and sat in front of Deaka. Oh, DeakaLove, I could not find you. Where were you? Your Lansteth had to wait for a while. It does not matter though, I have you now and you have me.[/b] The Sunlance stood in front of his, beaming with pride.[/i][/size]
Adoption?: I’d prefer she and Liera “transfer” back to Sky Mountain Weyr if I become inactive, but since I’d be inactive you could probably do whatever and I’d never find out, lol.
Dragon Preferences: Daeka’s preferences Silver, Rainbow, Cloud or Moonlight
My preference: lol, any really; Or I was thinking of going LifeWing with her. I think she’d have an excellent bedside manner.
