Person[/b]
Name: Yimian
Gender:Female
Age: 30
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Rank: Masterhealer
Family:
Y' ric(father, green rider, stationed at Benden)
Emilia(mother, harper, deceased)
half-brother, T'mil(brown rider);
Micidry, niece/foster-child(weyrbrat, age 2)
Appearance: Yimian has unusual height for a woman, being five foot ten, and built like a runner or dancer; lithe, with whipcord muscles lining her arms and shoulders. She has tanned, freckled skin, and a mop of short, black hair that is just long enough to cover her neck.
Her eyes are dark green, set in a triangular face with a sharp chin. She has feminine curves, though they're often not easily noticed in the loose clothing she usually wears; tunics and trousers in any number of colors. The only consistent items she wears are her Healer's knots,and a belt knife that was a gift from her father, that she keeps hidden under her shirt.
She has scars across the palms of both hands, and one just under her eye, from accidents or fights when she was younger. Yimian doesn't try to hide them; she's not self-conscious or vain about her appearance.
Personality: Yimian has a lively, outgoing manner when off-duty. She has no hesitation about striking up conversations with strangers, or speaking up amidst a crowd. She's a bit of a chatterbox, and outside confidential matters, she loves gossip. People may find her hard to understand at times, because while she's very intelligent, he has a tendency to change subjects in a way that may seem unrelated to whatever they were just discussing.
She has a weyrbred woman's view of sex, and tends to have short-term relationships that aren't formal commitments. She is more "married" to her Craft than wanting to find a lifelong weyrmate. She has friends, and sometimes lovers, but no one great True Love, and that doesn't bother her.
She's happy as a Healer and as Micidry's foster-mother.
When faced with someone who needs her skills as a Healer, she switches attitudes very quickly. Then, she's all business, utterly calm and level-headed. Experience has given her confidence in her own skills. She never lets fear or worry show, though she cares deeply about her patients' well-being.
History: Yimian was born and grew up at Benden Weyr. She was the daughter of a harper assigned to the Weyr, Emilia, and a greenrider named Y'ric. Like most riders, Y'ric wasn't suited to being a full-time parent, but he acknowledged his children and made sure that they were cared for
responsibly. Yimian never felt it as a loss. She grew up knowing him, and her older half-brother, Temil(later T'mil), Emilia's other child. Emilia taught her how to sing, and play a small harp, along with her basic education.
When Temil turned twelve, he was allowed to stand on the Hatching Grounds as a Candidate. He impressed brown Qereth at the first Hatching he attended.
Yimian also sometimes dreamed of being a dragonrider, but life had other plans for her. A year after T'mil's Impression, Emilia died of a sudden illness that the Healers couldn't treat. The fever that claimed her, also resulted in other deaths among the weyrfolk. Yimian grieved, and then resolved that she wasn't going to be helpless the next time someone became seriously ill or injured.
She started apprenticeship as a Healer not long afterward.
She took to the studies well, discovering a talent for the work as well as a calling. Motivated, and working hard, she reached journeyman rank when she was nineteen. After walking the tables, she asked to be assigned to the Weyr.
The assignment was granted, and she returned to Benden. In the intervening years, T'mil had become a Wingsecond. Yimian remained at the Weyr for over a decade, eventually attaining her
Mastery as a healer when she was twenty-eight. She kept happy, and busy. While there were a few romances, those proved to be short-lived.
Recently, T'mil had a child, a daughter named Micidry; the result of an affair between him and a Holdbred girl who had been Searched for a Benden queen's clutch. Micidry's mother had not wanted a child. As soon as she could, she handed the baby off to T'mil, refusing to take responsibility for her. While T'mil and Qereth adored the baby girl, single fatherhood proved difficult. Yimian offered to have Micidry as her fosterling, since she'd also loved her niece from the moment they laid eyes on one another.
When the word got out that a new Weyr was being founded, Yimian and T'mil decided to join the group that was relocating with Luna, if she would allow it.
