History:
Turn 486: Meta was born in a cothold near Telgar Hold.

Turn 490: As Meta was 4, rebel attacks in the area became frequent. They had heard of people who didn't want to join the Chorong rebels and were killed by them because of it. The parents of Meta didn't want to take part in that violence, though. One day, the rebels knocked on their door. The father opened and talked to them, while the mother told Kian, who was 15 at that time and allready to take care of Meta and allready advanced in guard training, to take her to the Hold. She would save them time.
Kian kissed his mother and they hurried out through the back door.
They ran through the cothold and planned on taking the main road towards the hold, but saw Chorong rebels on it. They turned around and fled into the other direction.
They survived by stealing and traveling between cotholds and minor holds.

Turn 495: One day, by mistake they came to a cothold they had allready been in and were recognized as thieves and chased away. After some days on the road, they met a caravan. The people there were really nice and adopted them as their own.

Turn 501: On the road, their caravan was attacked by Chorong rebels. Meta and her brother fought as hard as they could to defend their friends, but most died. At the end, they had to flee like the rest did. But they rebels reached them and her brother died covering her escape. She had to steal again, since she was too restless and untalented to settle down in a minor hold and have a work.

Turn 502: When the winter had passed, her life grew a bit better. She found a trade caravan who took her with them for no pay as long as she watched over their ware at night. She didn't steal anything, because she was reminded of her old caravan. They traveled to Fort Weyr and the Searcher found her there.

Personality:
Meta is ambitious to a point of arrogance, though the reason why she insists in being better than everyone else might be her rough past. She can't afford her self esteem to crumble, since she needs to keep going to reach her goal and become and become a dragonrider. But her walls are thick and it is hard to pass through them. She doesn't like to show her emotions and doesn't speak to much either. When she is most quiet is when people want to know where she comes from, but her silence allways shows at least a hint of arrogance. She is determined to ride a dragon, and she wishes it would be a blue one, since all girls have green dragons and the gold dragons are too boastfull in her opinion. She wants something special.
She can be very stubborn, and once she decided somethingimportant for her  (like riding the blue dragon), she may even forget about the real reason why she wants it and just chase her goal at all costs. Her interest in dragons came up because her brother used to tell her stories about them.
She is restless and seems to search for something beyond her reach, unable to let go of the past.
She hates herself because she ran away and left her brother behind. He wanted her to do it, but still. She wishes that their places had been switched. Sometimes she even wishes to die, so she can be with him again. But she holds on to the thought that he died in order to keep her alive, and does her best in living, so it will be worth his sacrifice.
Her favourite color is blue, representing the blue dragon she dreams of and the blue sky she wants to fly into. Her blue eyes seem to match with it, too. Blue for her is the color of freedom and peace, since she allways imagined flying to be like letting go of all your burdens and chains.
✣

Shortcomings:
Meta finds something she can dislike in everyone. When she thinks about herself, she finds the superiority in herself that she despises in others. She doesn't see a way to change it though that wouldn't affect her self esteem, on which she desperately depends to keep going.
She hates the Chorong rebels. They killed her family and ruined her life, and if she ever saw some, she would either freeze in panic or forget everything in rage.
✣

Mannerisms/ Habits:
Meta has the habit to stare at people while she thinks. Her blue eyes pierce through them and they often feel uncomfortable, while in reality she doesn't even see them.
She also is used to grab her stone necklace with her right hand and to cling to it, especially when she feels uncomfortable.
✣

Skills/ Likes:
✣[Skill/Like 1]: Meta is quite good at close combat with small or none weapons. She is fast and able to foresee her opponents movements. Her brother taught her all he knew about it. Kian was a Hold Guard apprentice before their cothold was destroyed and they learned to defend themselves on the streets.
✣[Skill/Like 2]: Meta has experience in lying and making things up in a credible way. She is good at telling stories and entertaining and distracting people, since she was a thief for a long time.
✣[Skill/Like 3]: Meta likes to sing. It reminds her of her mother, the only memory she has of her was when she sung. Kian allways told her that she inherited her mothers precious voice, but she never wanted to perform infront of people, not even to gain money when they desperately needed it. She never sings when she knows that somebody other than her brother can hear her.

Unskilled at/ Dislikes:
✣[Dislike/Unskillful at 1]: She hates the color red. She can't explain it, but she would never wear something red.
✣[Dislike/Unskillful at 2]: Meta is not very strong, more like weak. It frustrates her a lot and she sees it as her weak point.
✣[Dislike/Unskillful at 3]: Meta hates to be protected. Too many people have died protecting her and she hates to be reminded of it.

Fighting Style/ Weapon of Choice: In close combat she punches and kicks, and also uses small knifes. She can also throw her knifes.
