History: Nuamia was born at Western Weyr the younger of twin girls to a Nuarok, a baker, and Koruimia, a cook, that already had five sons. Somehow, all of them, besides Nuamia and one brother, became riders. Growing up, she and her twin Koruika spent time being cared for in the creche and by their brothers or parents during the day depending on who was available. To Nuamia it was great fun with so many friends to visit.
Eventually when old enough Nuamia began to help out around the Weyr, though she was quickly banned from the kitchen by her own parents. Her impulsive nature ruined a few too many dishes and created one too many fires. Nuamia’s favorite chore was laundry. It was hard to mess up laundry and people loved to chat and gossip as they worked.
But rest days were the best days. Nuamia, and if she could persuade Koruika, would go explore the world. It didn’t always turn out well though. The most memorable was when they were 12 and snuck out of the Weyr. Her sister was against it from the start, but Nuamia insisted and won. It was all fine, until the found the feline and nearly got eaten. If Koruika hadn’t called out for their brother’s dragon who was frantically looking for the missing girls things would have been a little different that day. The twins were in so much trouble after that. No freedom, constant supervision, and the worst chores.
Koruika had a heart to heart with Nuamia and was able to get it through the girl’s head that maybe, maybe, things won’t always go well. Something that she doesn’t see when she is thinking of the grand idea at the beginning. Only after the fact when it has all played out. Together they came up with a way for her sister to warn Nuamia, who still couldn’t really understand how to see these issues beforehand, that she was headed down a bad path. Koruika didn’t want to just flat out tell Nuamia out loud still due to being so shy and unwilling to speak her own mind. That was too much for the older twin, so subtle ways were created. As these were set things to look out for that were out of the ordinary, Nuamia was more able to notice them than body language or voice tones. Nuamia promised to try and respect these warnings from Kourika.
She began standing at age 14 and the only big change in her life was the lessons. Chores were the same. Adventures were...a little more restricted. No more sneaking out of the Weyr. Then two turns ago Koruika impressed to a wonderful little white dragon. Who Nuamia adores. It was mixed though seeing her twin impress without impressing herself. She was thrilled for Koruika. And she had faith that if there was a dragon for her that dragon would be worth waiting for.
But it was harder than expected to be without her twin. Nuamia would look for Koruika and not see her there and be confused. Nuamia’s main friend was gone and she was having trouble with making other friends. It was becoming clear to her how much Koruika’s influence had been on their interactions with others. Her sister had smoothed things over and settled little issues Nuamia had never seen. Nuamia is now having to navigate teenage social lives on her own and struggling some. But she is upbeat about it and willing to persevere. Things will go right sooner or later.
