Personality: Lyam is quiet and reserved, compared to his sister, but he’s ambitious too. His ambitions, however, fall in along the scholarly levels. He’d rather sit and read and learn everything any harper has to teach him than fish, like everyone else in his family did. Music and the songs that harpers teach are his most favorite thing in the world, and given the chance, he wants to become a harper. He’s not friendly though, and sometimes can easily be described as self-centered. Alyan is the one person he is very close to and friendly with.
Physical description:
Both of the twins are very similar in appearance. They’re both about the same height, just under four and a half feet tall, with Lyam being slightly taller than his sister. The twins have golden brown hair, and deep green eyes. Being that they both look almost identical, only their hair length can distinguish the two, with Lyam’s being cut short and Alyan’s just above her shoulders. Their skin has a light tan to it.
History:
The twins were born at Nerat Hold to a large fishing craft family. Their older siblings, sisters Yamin (11) and Alylami (15) and brother Layan (17) were already out on the boats helping and learning how to fish and the mechanics of boats at the time of their birth, accompanied by many cousins. In fact, only a rare few in their family ever left Nerat or Tillek Holds to go to other crafts. It was simply in their blood to be seamen.
Because their family was always busy or working, Lyam and Alyan grew very close at a young age. There would be months when they were left in the care of an auntie or uncle while the rest of the family went out, only to return in take on their ship, the Suncatcher. As fishermen, they were prosperous, almost always coming back with a large catch. And they were deep ocean fishers too, so what they did bring back was large.
Neither Lyam nor Alyan knew much of their immediate family well, as they were always out on the boat, fishing. It was the family’s policy to wait until a child was 11 years old to bring them out on a boat or ship for the first time, though they would start learning the very basics of the craft at around ten, to include fish identification and knots. But even before they got to that age, both of the twins knew a life on the sea was not meant for them. Lyam grew attached to the hold’s harpers and eventually cut out on his fishing lessons to go learn more of the ballad’s and Pern’s history. Alyan, however, at least had somewhat of a sense of duty and remained in the lessons, which led more often than not to her complete boredom. She wanted nothing more than to join the hold’s guards and wherhandlers.
By the time they turned 11, both of the twins had been told a terrible lie. They’d become romanced by the stories of dragons and riders, but by then, Pern had turned against the riders, who few remained. Thus, they were told the entire rider and dragon population had been killed in the Plague. And as they’d never seen a rider or dragon, they believed them. This lie temporarily killed their desires to be anything but fishermen and thus they left Nerat on their first trip. It was just a short trip, around Nerat’s tip to Half Circle Sea Hold and then returning back. They never left Nerat for long, as they were still young.
Finally fall came about and the twins were set to go on their longest trip yet. The tropics had finally died down enough that the family felt they could travel from Nerat to Tillek, to see the family that was there, but also bring in a catch to a hold that was running somewhat low on the staple food. A few of the family stayed behind, to assist Nerat, but most of the family at Nerat left on the Suncatcher.
Their intention was to catch the currents east before breaking free and shoot over to the southern currents which went west. It would make the trip easy and fairly short. If weather should arise, they could easily shoot further south, even to Southern for a few days if necessary. But the eastern currents were far stronger than the group had planned on. Nor had they planned for a late tropic storm to brew up before they could turn around and catch the western currents. The storm carried them off course and towards the ring islands that no one lived on. It would die but before they could orient and catch the proper current back, another storm brewed up, far more violent than the one before.
Little luck was on the family’s side by that point. Towering waves and strong wind’s broke the Suncatcher’s masts before eventually capsizing the boat. The only thing that ensured the twins’ survival were the broke planks of the boat and the dolphins which carried them to a nearby, small island. The next day, the storm had blown over, but the twins found no other survivors. Perhaps they’d been taken to different islands, but the more than likely chance was that they’d drowned, as the pod of rescuers had been small indeed.
It is on that island where they would stay for a day, perhaps two, before finally they were rescued by a myth. . .
When they arrived at the island, the pair was told that they were Searched and would be allowed to stand, if they so chose. So they decided to stand, even if they weren't 12 turns yet. They stood at Authanth's final clutch, Alyan Impressing to Brown Narfrith (much to her brother's annoyance) and Lyam to Green Valianth.

Dragon Info
Green Valianth
Weyrling Group: Royal Legacy
Age: Hatchling
Dam/Sire: Authanth/Duncanth
Description: Valianth is ‘tomboyish’ looking dragon, especially for a green. Her apperence is very masculine in that she is large and ‘muscled’ rather than small and dainty like some of the other greens in the clutch. She is not a very attractive shade of green, with more of yellow green dirty colour than the bright healthy looking dragons of their clutch..
Personality: Valianth is a dragon that will forever stay young in her personality as she gets older, she loves a good game or story.. and will happily play with any other dragon when time permits it.. although, she does know that there is a time, and a place for such antics..and can be counted on in an emergency or serious situation. She is a dragon ‘gifted’ with the ability to ‘assist’ other dragons in stressful needs and can easily talk a stressed dragon into calmness.. a gift that will be a great asset in the weyr..
