Lienda Larim

Lienda - pronounced lee-enda - is a solid A student, easily one of the most beautiful girls in Carramba, and like many from the Nexus enjoys a life both in and outside of high-technology. She'd far rather be on the high-tech end, rooting out gossip and secrets from people.

Whenever something random happens, like the lottery or a freebie giveaway, Lienda usually gets the 'good stuff'. She's fantastically lucky, and can often use that luck to her advantage if pressed into a bad corner. Well, that and the fact that she's gorgeous and durable, as well as having two fiercely loyal flitters at her side.

Her family is greatly supportive of her efforts outside the Nexus, she's from the Kshau Protectorate, and among Bree's cousins, so riding dragons is in her blood. She can command or at least summon and attend to numerous dragon-like creatures ranging in size from tiny Rukels to full sized dragons.

Because there are a couple draconic children - shapeshifters or ... something - in the Childcare center these days, it's always a good idea to have someone like her on hand just in case words fail and powers cannot be used. Unlike her cousin Bree, Lienda does want children, but she wants to have time to herself before she commits to any relationship. She's selfish enough to want that time, and sensible enough to give it to herself. She feels a generous amount of disrespect toward Moriamli because she 'sleeps around' so much.

Notably Lienda does have kids: when a group of students coming from a place called the Rookery came to Carramba she was quite... interested in one or more of them. They'd shown up for their Junior class, she'd just graduated. But soon, while she was working with the Childcare services doing her studies for a teaching degree, they started coming back after graduating, themselves. Tall, blond, handsome Sulfur - usually dressed in yellow like his name, riding an incredibly shiny bronze - was The One. Oh was he the one. The one that would return to his own home dimension, surely, but he was the only man who gave her the thing she wanted the most: time, and twins. He was a natural mage, like his father Mars, and that meant that their meeting was definitely charged with a particular magic.

Because he was also part of a strange post-apocalyptic group, genetically engineered to make the most out of all parts of his lineage, there was way more to him than met the eye. He liked getting compliments, but he also liked being challenged. He couldn't command her, her will as strong as his, sparks flew.

He tapped his 'other' side, the one with the dimension hopping and pocket universes. Convenience was amazing. Lienda was never quite able to reproduce the magic needed to create their little off-dimension chalet. But it still beckons, still she has a key to it that she uses quite frequently. Their time together in that pseudo-dimension gave them an opportunity to get close, and to raise those twin boys in a controlled environment. They needed specific care, education, training. Wands, nah they didn't need wands. But some amount of pronunciation training, that was definitely something they needed.

Both Sulfur and Lienda came and went from their side dimension in order to keep up with the outside world, and eventually introduced their now-kindergarden age twins to it too. Little Landon definitely had more in common with his dad, while Samson took strongly after Lienda in personality. But they learned magic from both, learned how to observe people, dig up history, ask the right questions. They would be in classes though maybe not together. Time was quite strange between those moments though. To everyone else, suddenly they had a family!

Lityr'Sadr had grown, and grown apart a little, from her sponsor in that time. Though they would always be intimately aware of each other as friends, Lienda and Lityr'Sadr had different paths to walk. The dragoness would keep flying between Carramba and Wonder, what a great way to adapt to the needs of the era as a transportation aid for new students!

But now ... as Lienda has also matured, both in and outside of time itself, she's realized how much she wants to befriend - bond, impress, stand for - a dragon of her own, one that shares her spirit and confidence, her style and duties. She will professionally work with children, but those in particular who have a penchant for dragon affinity, or those who are Searched young and need guidance. There are in fact plenty of those all around the Nexus, but... In order to be available to them all... She needs to find a dragon that can travel far and wide. Lityr'Sadr prfers her specific short round-trip, and that's a respectable task! Now... where? Where for her own?
