History: Senya was born at the same time as her twin, Sinya, at a small cothold near Telgar Weyr. Their mother was Riyeena, a Journeywoman 
Weaver. Their father, Brownrider K'avan had visited the Hold several times, but as soon as he got Riyeena pregnant he lost interest. Riyeena  raised her twin girls as best as she could, but they both turned into wild children. Though they were twins, the separation in their personalities became evident early on. Senya was more of a tomboy, playing with the boys, and Sinya was more ladylike. They remained fast friends throughout their childhood. Nothing could separate them, untilK'avan came back into their life.

Senya and Sinya were 15 at the time. They had both decided to apprentice to their mother and become Weavers like her. K'avan met his  daughters for the first time on a stormy night when he and Wenarth needed shelter from a lightning storm. Senya was enamored of her father instantly. She soaked up his tales of Telgar and High Reaches Weyr, both of which he had spent time in. By the end of the night, Senya was determined to go to High Reaches Weyr so that she could be with her father. Sinya didn't want anything to do with the man who had fathered them and then abandoned them. The twins had their first real fight, and Senya left with K'avan.

High Reaches Weyr was a shock to her system. The first night she got there Senya cried herself to sleep, missing Sinya terribly. After a few sevendays, she adjusted and was even Searched for the upcoming clutch. When the time came, she stood on the sands, wanting Sinya to be by her side.

The third egg to hatch was a thick, well-built green who headed straight for Senya. She proclaimed her name to be Gretalith, and suddenly Senya didn't feel quite so alone anymore. Her father congratulated her, and Senya became determined to do the best that she possibly could.

After she graduated from Weyrling Training, a Turn passed, and Senya grew restless at High Reaches. She loved her father, but she didn't really fit in with the other riders. She asked for a transfer to Fort Weyr and it was granted. When she arrived at the Weyrleader's office, it was at the same time as another greenrider - Sinya.

The twins were reunited at last. Sinya told Senya how she had been Searched for Telgar's clutch, and she Impressed not long after Senya did. Their greens took to each other, and both of them were content with their lives. However, trouble started brewing when Sinya earned a  reputation for being a flirt -- or a slut, in some cases. Senya often took the brunt of the anger directed at her twin, whether through mistaken identity or the need to vent. When one of Sinya's lovers who was looking for a relationship discovered that Sinya was not a commitment type girl, he came after Senya. Senya, too, rejected him, but he didn't give up this time. He began to threaten both her and her twin. Gretalith was growing very close to rising, and Senya was desperately afraid for what might happen during the flight. She requested a transfer to Mountain Song. The Weyrleader agreed, sending Sinya back to High Reaches and the offending man to Telgar.

Senya discovered that she *liked* Mountain Song, and fell into a habit of taking whatever lovers she wanted, but being fairly consistent with who she was with. She wound up spending a lot of time with a bronzerider named D'romir, who was only too glad to enjoy time with her without any commitments. Eventually, though, he decided to commit to another greenrider, Riyasara, leaving Senya partner-less, a situation she figures will change shortly.
