1) Markia and Cracked and Impefect Emerald green Marsk
* Raised by her minecrafter father, greenrider mother unable to care for her
* Grew up at the Minecraft Hold on the northern continent, formally apprenticed at the age of twelve
* Became adept as a gemologist, keen at finding veins of gems and how best to cut them, became a part-time jeweler to help support her father
* Was bonded to Marsk at the age of seventeen and was sent shortly after to the southern continent by the Masterminer to assist with Two Pick Hold
Appearance and Personality: Markia is boundless energy, never tiring and full of the optimism and excitement of youth and only seeking to do her best. Her curly hair is a rare shade of dark nutmeg-red, her eyes a dark blue that her tanned, hispanic-shaded skin sets off. She as a habit of wearing very bright clothes, something that sets her off dramatically from the other miners.
Marsk, on the other hand, is a much more stable creature eventhough she's very young, and her patience with her handler's excitement keeps the pair on the right track, forcing the girl to think before she acts. Marsk is a very dark green, with only a few highlights of brighter greens, though her heavily wrinkled and callous hide tends to put the highlights in the most unflattering locations. Her short tail is unusually thick and heavy, and she's fond of smacking it against the ground to get the attention of others - not unlike a judge with a gavel. (( color code: 006600 )) Bond Level: 3
2) Amaren and Moss-Covered Rock green Amarsk
* One of the oldest wherhandlers at 69
* Born and raised at Telgar Weyr, impressed to her green Vertinath at the age of 14
* Gained her Jman's knot in Minecraft at the age of 25, became wingleader at the age of 31
* Lost Vertinath when she was 47 in an accident while she was helping teach weyrlings to go Between
* Retired to the Minecraft Hall where she became a teacher, deeply depressed and unhappy
* Found herself growing close to a wher named Desesk, owned by Desedra, an elderly miner
* When Desedra died, Desesk turned to Amaren as her new handler and became known as Amarsk - Amaren was 52
Appearance and Personality: Blonde hair turned to grey and then white early, and her wrinkled and spotted light skin has permanently tanned the creases into her skin. Her pale grey-green eyes are heavy with thoughts, and prone to staring. Amaren is a very down-to-earth woman who's almost pessimistic about her views of life. She would claim she's just a realist, but regardless, after the loss of Vertinath she lost much of her exuberance and is often a very dour woman prone to moments of deep depression.
If it wasn't for Amarsk, likely Amaren would have passed on some years ago, but the devotion of the wher and their need to do their duties keeps them persisting on. Amarsk is a very stubborn creature, like her handler, and she's often seeking to direct and teach the younger whers and frowns upon slackers. Many were surprised when she didn't die with her handler, but some say she knew Amaren needed her more. Her calloused, aging hide is going a little more grey than green, but it was always the color of a mossy river rock, speckled with darker flecks of blacks, brown, and darker greens.
