Emotional Description:

On first meeting, one would generally think Loura as a kind, generous, friendly and a relatively smart woman. But that’s what most people _think_. The truth is that while she may, and will, appear perfect on the first meeting; people, mostly males, who get to know her a bit more find out that she is a very ambitious woman, with a determination that startles many.

When she wants something, she’ll go for it. If she gets stuck on something, or is curious, then she’d rather chase a wherry around Pern than forget it. She’s not one to forget things easily, or likewise to forgive, and that in itself makes her a bit hard to handle at times. When an opportunity or something similar comes along, she’ll be the first to take it, but only after she’s checked out every detail of course. She knows a bargain when she sees one, but isn’t overly worried about paying a bit more for something if she knows it’s worth.

She has amazing managing skills and generally knows how everything’s running, and what needs to be done to make it run more efficiently. Adding her determination to the package, the best way to help her is to get out of her way and let her do things her way. Although she can be persuaded to share duties, and she will give other people work to do, she likes to think that everything’s going to be done at an appropriate time. She’ll work under a leader easily, in fact, as long as she isn’t at the bottom of a hierarchy, she’s happy.

Moving onto the opposite sex, Loura doesn’t hold herself back when it comes to having feelings for another. As she doesn’t hold any love for her current husband, she doesn’t find it wrong to have feelings for any other man. In fact, she welcomes almost any good-looking male with open arms. Most men tend to know when they’ve captured the Lady Holder’s attention. She doesn’t often form a long lasting bond with every man she beds, (which is quite a few), but when she does – it’s usually with someone she can’t have. That’s where the ‘you can’t have me’ factor comes in, and as she doesn’t like to give up on things, she’s hardly going to give up loving another now is she?

Unless she’s publicly attached to someone, Loura will pick her favourite out the many men that she beds and treat them as if they were the most important thing in her life. Even then, if there’s someone new on the block that she’s interested in, she’ll easily switch favourites without any regrets. When she it is known that she is with someone, then she’ll act as if there are no other men in her life an almost completely ignore her ‘bed mates’, but that doesn’t mean a little bit of subtle flirting isn’t fun anymore.

Loura has a quick wit and a reasonably short fuse. She’ll only ever use it, though, if her ego is burned. When this happens, the Lady holder becomes someone else entirely and completely lets loose. It has been whispered that on more than one occasion a drudge has had a chair or vase thrown in their direction after spilling some klah on her. Almost like a wild cat when push over the edge, she won’t hesitate to fling insults across the room at the other, not caring if her words really do hurt someone. Not many cross her path, and those that do wish they hadn’t. She hates more than anything to be wrong, or to not have things go her way, and she doesn’t back down easily.

Physical Description:

Soft dark brown curves fall down across Loura's shoulders, stopping in an even line at the base of her collar bone. Short light brown bangs hang just under her eyes and make them appear bigger, while the rest of her hair eventually turns into soft waves at the end. Blonde highlights streak downwards from where Rukbat has touched her hair, while her wood-like undertones cause a pretty contrast. It’s usually let down freely, or half of it may be tied back. For gathers or other things of importance, she’ll pull it up into a messy bun or something more suited to the occasion.

Her eyes are a vibrant light sapphire, always displaying her happiness or anger. Ringed by a dark green, they stand out from her face and make her appear very interested in what ever she looks at, which is usually the case anyway. Tiny dots of grey surround her iris and are made obvious in dim light.

Standing at 5’11, she happy with her height. Her body is almost flawless, with all the curves in the right places, a full chest, a small waist, and an even proportion of legs and body – both of which are slim and toned. Her legs and flat stomach signal that she does posses strength in that area, but her arm and face give her a more delicate appearance. Her skin is a dark bronze, partly from the time she spends sunning herself, and partly from genetics.

Across her body are three different tattoo’s that she has had done to herself over the years. The first is bright golden dragon that starts at the base of her neck on her back, trailing down to end a handspan above the bottom of her tail bone, the head pointing upwards with the wings spread. It symbolises her equality to a goldrider, and shines beautifully against her skin. The second tattoo is another golden dragon, except it is in miniature and is situated on the inside of her right thigh, again facing upwards. The third is a pair of curved black streaks, outlining her belly button. It’s the most public of the three, and is exposed more often by her bare-stomach dresses that she likes to wear.



Brief History:

Supposedly born to the Lord and Lady of Dary Cothold on the Keroon Plains, Loura was given everything she could wish for from a very young age. She was the oldest of three children, and the differences between her and her younger siblings was soon made obvious when the youngest, Jynathon, was born. In fact, Lady Isarin had not been as faithful as Lord Jorill would’ve liked, she’d had a small fling with another Lord Cotholder, who’s wife had recently passed away and was looking for comfort.

When Loura was able to notice the striking differences between herself and the rest of her family, she questioned her mother about it the first opportunity they got alone together. Seeing the young girl’s determination at finding out the answer, Isarin sat her down and told her all she needed to know. Surprising her mother by merely smiling and nodding, Loura soon got the idea that it was alright to bed more than one man. Her father died later that year, and surprisingly – there wasn’t many tears.

Growing up after that, Loura went through her early teenage turns at the healer hall as a pretty ‘normal’ girl. When she reached 16, however, she truly blossomed into the beautiful young woman she is now. Her mother saw this and decided that it was time she sat her daughter down and told her about men. Loura shocked her mother again by just sitting there quietly and listening,

During the next gather, she met up with a rather handsome lad and decided to go all the way. No one knew, of course, except for the boy involved. That was when she really got stuck into her womanly ways.

She broke a few hearts when she decided for a change of scenery, leaving for EvenStar Hold without so much as a goodbye to her family, who she wasn’t very close to anyway. Although she sent her mother a message via flitt when she was on the ship headed south, leaving out he part that she’d taken a few hundred marks with her from out of the family safe.
