Gender: Female
Character Type: Wherhandler
Rank: Gold Wherhandler
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Current Location: Angel's Cove Weyr
Appearance: Xesn stands at 5'6" even. She has short copper hair and dark blue eyes. She keeps her hair cut to the bottom of her earlobes. She has muscle from Weyrling Training and when she had been a Candidate. She is a bit on the slender side from moving around a lot and having a fast metabolism. She has an olive complexion that makes her tan really nicely. Though her skin is already nicely tanned, with a soft coppery glow to her skin. If she is out in the sun too long she does get sunburn and her skin begins to peel. She is mostly seen in a tunic and pants. Xesn doesn't usually dress up unless it is for a Gather or Hatching or some other special occasion. She has a nice red dress that she keeps at the bottom of her travel trunk and wears that dress for those special occasions.
She has a small box at the very bottom of her travel trunk. It’s a nice dark rosewood color with her and her golden wher’s names engraved on the top. She keeps all of her jewelry in it. She always wears a simple silver necklace that has their names engraved on it as well. She had received it as a gift from her older brother before he’d been transferred. It also has a ring to match. She saves the rest of her jewelry to wear for special occasions. She has a leather hide belt she wears all the time. It was a gift from her second oldest brother before she left when she had been Searched.
When she is attending to duties she wears a simple dark copper tunic with black or reddish brown trousers. She likes to wear dark colors and will sometimes be seen in lighter colors during the summer months, when it’s really warm. She has a leather jerkin vest that was dyed to a light yellow coloring that she wears every now and then. The coloring is very close to her wher’s golden color. The inside of the jerkin vest is done up in wherry feathers to keep the body warm during the winter. It’s her favorite vest.
Personality: Xesn is a very passionate young woman. And it is most evident in her cooking and the care of her wher. She loves to cook and it shows. She loves whers and is very happy to have her gold wher, Xesna. She doesn’t have any children, though she would like to have one or possibly two. But she knows the life of a wher handler isn’t easy. She works hard in her wher duties and as a Senior Apprentice Baker. She is working hard in her craft to become a Journeyman but isn’t in a rush.
She didn’t really have any inclination of impressing at all to a wher. It was just a bonus for her that she‘d impressed. She has an abundance of energy she uses when she’s concocting recipes and it is expressed in her voice. She has a habit of speaking a little faster than normal when she’s really excited about something. Xesn does have a temper, but she’s so good-natured that it takes a long while before she does get angry. Sometimes when she does get angry, she’s mad for only 0.02 seconds.
Xesn has another side to her that comes out only rarely. And by rarely, means once in a blue moon type thing. She is a complete romantic. She doesn’t let it show because she perceives that to be a weakness and she has a fear of that weakness. She keeps it under a tight control, though it does manage to show itself when her wher has her runs.
History: Xesn was born as the third child of six. She was born at Benden Hold to a Journeyman Healer, Xesra, and a Journeyman Smith, Sicarn. She was always on the move almost right after birth. She could not keep still for a full ten minutes. She was running with the group of children pulling pranks or finding some kind of mischief. Though she wasn’t the prank kind of child. She had never pulled a prank on anyone. She was just with them for the laughs. Or the punishment when caught, since she was with them. She loved to go for rides on runners at the age of six turns. Her oldest brother, Carsan, taught her to ride in his spare time. And she loved it every moment of it. For a few months after she’d turned 12, Xesn gave some thought to what craft she wanted to apprentice too. She didn’t want to stay at home all her life and not do anything useful. Though helping to clean and cook was useful. She settled on the Baker craft and apprenticed to the Senior Journeyman Cook. She studied hard and worked just as hard.
She had just barely turned 15 turns when she heard a rumor that there was a clutch at Angel‘s Cove Weyr. Xesn decided she would try and left for the Weyr. She was completely overwhelmed when she arrived at Angel‘s Cove Weyr. She quickly learned what she needed to know to survive in the Weyr and was put under the Head Cook Lura. She worked hard and made a few friends. She had only been in the Weyr for a few days when she was taken by firehead. Though she didn’t die from it. She was one of the rare few that made a complete recovery. She learned that it was a golden Wher’s clutch. So she stood to see if she would be granted an egg by the golden Wher. She was granted an egg!
She wanted to help feed the people of the Weyr. So, she settled right down and helped as best she could as she waited for her egg to hatch. Xesn looked after the egg like a human infant. She cleaned the shell between her chores and rotated it like she’d been instructed. And the day dawned when she heard the egg rocking and wobbling. Her wher egg was hatching! She expected a green to come rolling out of the egg. But no, a glistening golden body fell through the fragile shell and the most beautiful golden head, Xesn believes, looked up at her with whirling eyes of blue and green with tinges of red and creeled. She quickly cut her left hand with her belt knife and offered it to the gold wher. The gold wher took it and drank greedily, but took only a small amount. And Impression was made! A short time later, Xesn and Xesna heard the sad news that both bronze Revy and gold Sani had died from firehead..
From then on, Xesn and Xesna took their lessons with the other newly bonded Wherhandlers. They went through training together and not much out of any mishaps or bumbling happened. It all seemed to be a whirlwind to Xesn. Now, as Xesn turned twenty turns and Xesna turned five turns, they wait to see what new events happen to change their lives. Since maturing, Xesna has had a few ‘flights’ and produced some good clutches. Xesn has estimated that it is nearing time for when Xesna has another ‘flight’ but Xesn believes it may still be a good month away. She has had a few nightmares about losing her Xesna, but she’s never told anyone about them. Only Xesn and Xesna knows about the nightmares, and neither of them are talking.
Misc./Random Facts: She bites her nails when she’s nervous or thinking too deeply.
