Name: Kadanari(ONPC)
Age: unknown
Rank: Greenrider and grammy to Hetami & Ytossi

Brief Description of Persona:

  • Kadanari is hard to describe at this late age. At one point in time, it was said she was one of the most beautiful women on Pern if not the most. Now, at the advanced age of who knows how many turns (Kadanari herself either can't or won't remember when she was born), she is a wirey little woman with a mass of wirey white hair that is constantly straying out of the tight bun she wears it in. SOmetimes on some of her...more interesting days....it sticks out wildly like a frizzy bush at all angles from her head.

    Her skin is a deep shade of rich but weathered nut brown, leading to her family's wide genetic skin tones. Her bright eyes are such a dark brown to be near black. Her former exotic looks have been passed down to her grandaughters, Hetami and Ytossi.

  • Kadanari is the epitome of a greenrider. She's never had a permanent weyrmate, prefering to jump from man to man in order to keep herself from getting bored. She has also been a commitment-aphobic her whole life, which she has passed down to one of her granddaughters. Yet she loved children, which she passed down to the other grandaughter, so much that she had nine of them. By nine different partners. She loved all her children equally, fostered them out, but kept in touch with them.

    Now as she passes into later years...Kadanari is becoming more eccentric than she was in her youth. Now that she is retired to a nice little weyrhold in a warm part of the west, she spends much of her time in her rocking chair, telling all sorts of wild tales of her youth. Other times, her eccentricities will find her at some hold dancing around with the Lord Holder at a party for some reason.

    She is stubborn and refuses to believe she is too old to be flying. She insists that her sexlife is still as good as it ever was, that she regularly has exciting adventures on her faded green dragon...and her many children, grand children, and greatgrandchildren just smile and nod.

    Brief History of Persona:

  • Kadanari was born in a weyr. Raised in a weyr. Impressed in a weyr. Which was good, because as a teen and further on, she was a wild child in many ways. But in terms of a weyrbrat, her sexual proclivities were normal...well somewhat normal. So she knew she was destined to be a greenrider. She was not disappointed when she impressed emerald green Inkinith, whom she lovingly calls Inky.

    Having her first child her first year out of weyrling hood set Kadanari on a long road of nine children in the course of thirty Turns. She had her last one at the age of 45. Her trend in fathers of her children was never the same, ranging from tall, blonds with blue eyes, to short dark men with skin darker than hers. Kadanari's family is the United Colors of Bennaton of Pern. In turn, her children married uniquely and yet the Kadanari genes hold on. Many of the grandchildren and great grandchildren share their granddam's skin coloring and kinky hair. They make for a beautiful family.

    Now as she lives, retired at the weyrhold, she loves to get her visits from her two favorite grandchildren, Goldriders Hetami and Ytossi. She loves them both equally and was very ecstactic when Hetami Impressed a gold. She was disappointed when Ytossi Impressed a gold. Her words to her now Weyrwoman grandchild were, "Congratulations, dearie. But You should have been a green like me!"

    Now after their Impressions, both women visit their "Grammie" and listen to her stories that they've heard a thousand times. They also accept the comments from Kadanari's maunderings.

    "Hetami, I thought for sure you would have Impressed a green because you love children so muc...just like me! But you have a better head than your cousin, Ytossi when it comes to Weyrmatters. Yes, it makes sense now that _you_ Impressed a gold."

    "Ytossi, I thought for sure you have Impressed a green because you are so like me. Not wanting to be tied down to one man. Not wanting responsibilities...I just don't understand how you got a gold! But then again.,...I probably could have gotten a gold too. You're just like me!"

    So Kadanari still wanders off on her adventures and people now wonder if her stories are more true than they first believed! Her affair with the Master Harper of Pern, her long standing affair with a Lord Holder in the North and many other wild tales.

    Description of Dragon:
    Inkinith used to be a lovely shade of emerald green. She has now faded with age to a lovely shade of dusty velvet green. She is as incorrigable as her rider, and as sweet. She loves hatchlings and weyrlings and children and never tires of Kadanari's youngest grandchildren and the greatgrankids coming to visit and play. Unfortunately, her memory too wanders and she wonders how she and her rider end up where they do. The other dragons of the weyrhold can here her muttering sometimes , }:Now where did I put her!?!:{
