Weyrling Arilla on Green Lothlorith

Player: Aria

Name: Arilla|
Age: 19 (8.05.4658)
Rank: Weyrling, Wife of O'var of Blue Rivenelth 

Description: Short (only 5' 2'') but no longer very round (averaging 200lbs originally, she is down to 140), and rather well-endowed. Her hair is a pale gold, though fine and straight, so cut short and layered to add body. Her eyes are a light bluish-green. Her skin is fair.

Personality: Fairly quiet, and polite almost to a fault from training to be a *proper* Lady Holder. She rarely gives opinions, often because she doesn't actually take a side on a particular issue. At least, never aloud, though she would if encouraged long enough. She never is. Her manners are exquisite, though she'd hardly the exciting type to be around. She rarely speaks unless encouraged at all, even to relate a story. Her hobbies included embroidery, writing poetry (though no one knows), and floral arrangements. Now a Weyrling, she is determined to make something more of herself and has applied herself to her studies, determined not to fall too far behind. She exhibits opinions more often, and is growing in self-confidence.

Gender/Pref: Female, Heterosexual

History: Her father was a cousin of the Lord of Tillek. The family moved South when Arilla was five turns old with several of his people from further in-land who were beholden to Tillek but beginning to over-crowd. Arilla was groomed from day one to be a "lady" like her Mother. As kind as her mother was, she was dominated by Corbin's stronger personality as "head of the household." Arilla turned out exactly the same way. The poor girl found herself in an arranged marriage with Olivar, heir to Steep Valley. As wonderful as Olivar was, Arilla was terrified of disappointing him. She was also sure he hadn't wanted to marry her, which made her even more worried. Still, her submission didn't seem to please him. They fell into an uneasy truce, and -once married- consummated the marriage like a dutiful pair, but there was little love in it. Constantly worried and nervous, Arilla couldn't help growing plumper. Then, Arilla was shocked to find out that at least part of that was that she was pregnant, having conceived almost immediately after their wedding. She tried, slowly, to find love with Olivar, and found herself loving him, despite their lack of passion or companionship. Still sure he wasn't really in love with her, they were at least polite and a little less awkward when life tossed in a very unexpected change... they both Impressed at the hatching! She to a green, and he a blue. 

A few months later, Arilla gave birth to their son, who was fostered, and determined to improve herself and dug into her studies as a Weyrling, getting into shape and beginning to make friends. After a rather stunning -and shocking to O'var- transformation that she revealed at Turn's End, Arilla began to mend things with her husband, and build a relationship like the one they 'should' have had from the start. When they were allowed to move out of the Weyrling barracks, they moved into weyrs right beside each other and connected, and shared sleeping quarters. Since then, their relationship has blossomed.

Arilla was rather shocked when she discovered that C'valor, her good friend who had helped her become the person she really wanted to be, had fallen in love with her. She tried to break it to him gently that she really 'was' in love with O'var, despite the rough start to their marriage. It didn't go over well. They remain friends, but it is a more strained relationship, as she often has to hunt him down to talk to him.

When Dark Light Hold was destroyed by a terrible earthquake, Rillar came back to live with his parents. Arilla, who was grounded at the time after minor injuries in threadfall, was relieved her baby hadn't been 'at' the Hold at the time! Just about then she also turned up pregnant for the second time. This time, both she and O'var were happy.
