Personality: Yarliss is a stern, sharp-tongued woman who is used to having people do what she says. It'll take her a while to get used to listening to someone else for a change. She has a short temper and tends to be quite confrontational, especially when the subject of her past is brought up. She can be rather rude and doesn't make friends easily, but she tries not to be bothered by this. Oloroth is a great help.
Past: Yarliss was born to a pair of young Holders, but they both died from a plague when she was a baby, and she was sent to live with a string of foster families, most of whom were neglectful at best. When she had finally had enough, she ran away from home at fourteen and decided to become a sailor. She thought she would have an easier time of it if the other seacrafters thought she was a boy, as woman sailors were still quite rare and she was young and boyish enough already to pull it off.
Pretending to be a boy was the easy part; holding her tongue and pretending to respect the older men in charge proved more of a challenge for her, but fortunately, the captain of the ship liked her anyway, and she did well. At least until she was Searched--she was already caught off guard by the idea of standing for a clutch, and the mention of a queen egg didn't exactly help her cover; after the dragons gave away her identity, she thought it would be wisest to leave with the riders immediately. Though she was tentatively hopeful of Impressing a queen, she was ecstatic when she found green Oloroth on the sands and Impressed.
