History

Personal History

Joss was born in the early dawn hours of a cold November day to Damian and Jalique of Far Site. Her parents kept the little girl hidden for her own safety. She was given the name Joss to hide her identity. The little girl lived a normal and happy childhood. She was always helping Damian with his carpentry work. The little girl knew how to work a hammer and nails by time she was 4 Turns old. She would play for hours outside building little toys of her own. She soon befriended Gydeon and showed him how to make toys and instruments. When Joss was 10 Turns her mother decided to try and teach her some of her ballads that most young people already knew. The girl instantly took to the music and played with her mother anytime she could find the spare time. By her 13th Turn Joss was traveling to different Holds, Halls, and Weyrs with her father to help with his work. She was becoming as well respected as her father for her carpentry work. In the fall of her 13th Turn while her and her father were coming home from work at Southern Weyr Joss ran across a clutch of fire lizard eggs. The little eggs began to hatch and her father managed to Impress a bronze and a blue. The others ended up killing each other before Joss and Damian could help them. Joss’s little bronze took on the name Dyvir and helped her with chores around the house. Dyvir went everywhere with Joss. Blue Lamic would protect Jalique when Damian and Joss were out looking for work. In the summer of her 14th Turn, Joss ran across an injured traveler who had fallen in with raiders. She took the traveler back to her small home where her mother Jalique, who was a journeywoman healer, cared for the stranger’s wounds until he was back on his feet. This good deed would prove to be her worst mistake and would haunt her the rest of her life. One day the traveler mysteriously disappeared, but returned that night with his friends, the raiders. They burned Joss’s home to the ground, claiming both Damian and Jalique’s lives. Joss managed to save her little brother, Jamian, but the boy’s face would be badly scarred the rest of his life. Joss blamed herself for the deaths of her parents. She left Jamian with her aunt and uncle to raise, then left on a long journey. She traveled to different Holds, Halls, and Weyrs in search of work. One day, during her 15th Turn she found herself in Southern Weyr during an Impression. A dragonrider soon spotted her and started pulling her toward the Hatching Grounds, thinking that she was a candidate and saying that they would be late. She tried to protest that she was just there doing some repair work, but the dragonrider pushed her onto the hot sands. She turned around as all the dragons started to hum, not sure what was happening. The eggs started to rock and hatch one by one. A small, green dragon made her way toward the very surprised young carpenter. The dragon said her name was Sanalith. Joss was very reluctant at first to accept the dragon’s companionship for fear of losing her too, but soon realized the little green was exactly what she needed to boost her confidence. The girl and dragon soon started weyrling training and became inseperatable. During her 17th Turn she left Southern in hopes of leaving certain memories behind. She soon found herself at River Cove Weyr. Joss decided to stay on and see if the riders treated her any better then some of the Southern riders did.
