Fayin- Mother, age 58, Orange rider (NPC). Mirion is fairly close with his mother and she often visits the kitchen to talk wit him.
Taris- Sister, age 27, Harper at Sapphire Hold (NPC). Mirion is on good terms with his sister, although they don't see each other often.
Pets:
Nia: Gold flitt
Dewey: Blue flitt
Hair: Brown, short, neatly groomed

Height and Build: 5'10, medium build
Appearance: Mirion always looks impeccably put together. Everything about him is neat and clean, unless he has just been in the kitchen cooking something up. Even then, he carries himself gracefully, his posture stiff and perfect. He has a keen eye for detail, and while his clothes are usually simple, he will usually add some small thing like a colorful scarf.
Although his dapper appearance makes him handsome, Mirion's looks are fairly average. His hair is dark brown and he always keeps it cut short, and his face is clean-shaven at all times. Mirion's eyes are the same shade of brown, and his light skin is a contrast to his dark hair and eyes. He is medium height and has an unremarkable build, nowhere near as strong as the dragonriders but not unfit.
Personality: Conscientious would be a good starting word to describe Mirion. A hard worker, he will never shirk his duties, and he is fiercely loyal to the Weyr as a whole. In fact, he tends to be something of a workaholic, and sometimes needs friends to remind him to take a break and have some fun. Mirion is very reserved and can seem uptight, but in reality he's just quiet and a bit shy. He doesn't mind parties, but he prefers to stay on the edges.
He isn't very ambitious, but he is a perfectionist, and he strives to make everything he does the absolute best. Mirion is very detail oriented and he likes to plan things out, rather than acting spontaneously.
In addition to being loyal to the Weyr, he is very loyal of his friends, and can be protective of friends and family. He wants to look out for everyone close to him. Mirion views betrayal by a friend as unforgivable, and he can hold a fierce grudge. He views romance as similarly serious, and even though he is weyrbred he has never been interested in one-night stands.
History:
He was born in Cat's Paw Weyr, the only son of a Brownrider and an Orangerider. Like most weyrbrats, he was raised in the lower caverns, as his mother was too busy with her duties to take full time responsibility for him. However, she visited frequently and took him on outings when she could. S'lir, his father, was more distant, and expressed harsh expectations for the boy when they did spend time together.
Mirion was a quite, well behaved child. He often looked out for the younger children, especially his baby sister, Taris. When he was old enough, he began helping the lower caverns workers. He showed a proficiency for cooking and the head baker took Mirion under her wing. Even so, Mirion decided to stand as a candidate. He failed to Impress several times before finally giving up, his decision influenced by his father's obvious disappointment in him. Since giving up candidacy, he has barely spoken to S'lir.
Despite his failure in candidacy, Mirion experienced great success as a cook's apprentice. Life continued as normal until he was twenty. That was when he met Marjerri, a candidate who had just arrived from Sapphire Hold. They met by chance one late night in the kitchens, and fell for each other pretty quickly. However, because Marjerri was a candidate, the relationship remained as a friendship until two turns later, when her Green Nieveth was old enough to handle her rider's feelings.
Mirion was used enough to Weyr customs and suffered only a little jealousy about Nieveth's flights. He and Marjerri moved in together, and were happy for several months. However, it was not to last. Marjerri was killed in a Threadfall accident that could have happened to anyone.
Mirion fell into a deep depression after that, only coming out of it with help from his mother and sister. Fayin gave him the two flitt eggs that hatched into Nia and Dewey. Caring for the hatchlings pulled him out of his grief, and after that he began to make a recovery. However, ever since then he has been a little more reserved and certainly reluctant to jump into romantic relationships.
He has been working hard for all these years, and gained a good deal of respect in the kitchen. He is one of the more senior Cooks now, and is in charge of most of the Weyr's baking. His life has been charting a pretty steady course lately, with nothing much to report in the past couple years.
