AGE 43 Turns
GENDER Female
SEXUALITY Hetero
RANK Headwoman
CRAFT N/A
HAIR brown
EYES brown
HEIGHT 5'4"
WEIGHT 148
OVERALL APPEARANCE Medium to light brown hair, brown eyes, and standing at 5'4". Her hair reaches to the middle of her back and is on the wavy side. She generally keeps it up off her neck in a runner's tail or braid. Her brown eyes are always taking things in and hardly miss anything that happens around her, whether she has been there many times or not. She has filled out with womanly curves, showing early on in her young life. She has curves in all the right places despite her appearance, and her chest area is a little more than average. She has a nice simple, squared chin that moves up to high cheekbones. She has lush wide lips and thin eyebrows. She has a nice red dress that she keeps at the bottom of her travel trunk and wears that dress for those special occasions. She has a small box at the very bottom of her travel trunk. It’s a nice dark rosewood color with her name engraved on the top.
She keeps all of her jewelry in it. She always wears a simple sapphire ring. She had received it as a gift from her older brother before he’d been transferred. She saves the rest of her jewelry to wear for special occasions. She has a leather belt she wears all the time. It was a gift from her second oldest brother before she‘s taken up the mantle of Headwoman. Her mother taught her to have proper posture in public, but when she's alone, she's not stiff, she slouches and relaxes when she gets moments alone. Izlen prefers darker, richer colors. Her skin is of an olive complexion, but has darkened a bit from working outside most days. She wears skirts out of duty, but prefers pants and tunics if she has to get dirty.
PERSONALITY Energetic, dependable, considerate, hard-worker, fierce temper, and loyal. Izlen is a hard worker and loyal to her family and to Benden Weyr, and devoted to the Senior Weyrwoman. She adores children and adores her own, as well as any fosterlings she takes in. She hopes to find a mate that she could love, trust, talk to, if one exists, one that is not simply interested in just another romp in the furs. She is a very hard worker with a soft voice and an easy smile. She is very serious about her duty as the Headwoman's Assistant, and takes her duties seriously. She hides her true feelings from others because she doesn't want anyone to know her mind. She feels that her mind is the only safe place she can retreat to and think things over clearly. Which is usually why most will find her in her office during the late hours of the night.
Izlen does have a temper, but she’s so good-natured that it takes a long while, a very long while, before she does get angry. She values friendship and doesn't like anyone trying to manipulate her for their own reasons. She is tough when it comes to dealing with an errant weyrbrat, drudge or Candidate. She has sharp wits and an even sharper mind when dealing with bullies. She has a habit of doing more than a Headwoman should do, even if she is told she should delegate more work to others. She doesn't mind the work, really, it gives her a sense of accomplishment. She isn't afraid to speak her mind and will often listen to a conversation for a bit before saying anything. She is considerate of others, unless they really anger her. When she is in a bad mood she glares at people, whether they are the person she is mad at or not, and will often mutter curses.
Izlen is a dependable woman. If you ask her to do something, she’ll hardly say no. She will never turn down a plea for help. She loves a good joke, even though she can’t telling any herself. She is a calm woman in the face of a disaster or crisis. She never lets anything rattle her, except for when she is alone. She has an aloof manner when she just wakes up and hasn‘t had her cup of fresh klah in the morning. She is friendly and inviting once she’s taken her first sip of the warm and invigorating liquid. She has an abundance of energy she uses when she’s attending her duties as Headwoman , or just when she‘s talking. She has a habit of speaking a little faster than normal when she’s really excited about something. Izlen has another side to her that comes out only rarely. She is very romantic. She doesn’t let it show because she perceives that to be weakness and she has a fear of that. She keeps it under a tight control, though it does manage to show itself every so often.

Son- Leshil, 14, Candidate, Benden Weyr
Izlen was born and raised in Benden Weyr as the oldest of five siblings. She looked after her younger siblings after their births while their parents went about their duties as Journeymen Healers. Izlen didn't apprentice to any craft. She preferred to stay close to her family. She had been searched at the age of 18 but she never impressed. Instead of being down about not impressing, she began helping in the Kitchens. The Headwoman took notice of her when she was ordering the drudges around, though not making it seem that way. The Headwoman took her aside and trained her to be her assistant. While working with the Headwoman, Izlen fell in love with a Senior Journeyman named Sherik. He was currently on assignment at Igen. Izlen and Sherik became lovers after a gold flight. At which she conceived her oldest child, Shelen, and once she‘d been weaned, she was put in the creche with the other Weyr children. Izlen had been 28 turns old at the time. A few months after Shelen had been born, Sherik was reposted to Fort Hold.
Five turns later, at the age of 32, Izlen fell in love again with another man. Though this man was a dragonrider. They got along well enough. With every couple, there are days when you can’t seem to get along with your mate. Izlen and R’shil had those days. Five turns after the birth of her daughter, Izlen found herself pregnant again. This time she gave birth to a healthy baby boy they named Shiren. For the last four turns, Izlen worked hard as a mother and the Headwoman's Assistant. She devoted all of her time and attention to the Weyr’s inhabitants. She spent as much free time with her son and daughter when she could spare it. A turn ago, Izlen was in the Kitchen, overlooking the noon meal when she heard dragon screams and human yells. She ran out to see what was happening. At first, Izlen wasn’t sure what was going on. Several dragons were on the ground or landing, keening the death of one of their own. When she asked someone what happened, they shook their head and turned away. She came to learn that R’shil’s brown, Berauth, had collided with another dragon during drills and both dragon pairs went between forever. Izlen’s heart was broken. Izlen has not had a lover since R’shil died. But who truly knows what the future holds?
