History - Daltan is from Ista Island originally. She was training to be a Beastcrafter, following in her father's footsteps. Her closest friends were Quadelan and his younger brother Quiller. The trio were thick as thieves. All three went into the Beastcraft, mainly working with runners.
Daltan was 17 Turns old when Quadelan was Searched and went to Ista Weyr to stand as a Candidate. Three Turns later, she would be Searched rather late, when she was 20, and preparing to walk the tables to make Journeyman. Instead, she is taken to Ista Weyr as a Candidate. Before she goes, she is given a firelizard egg as a gift from her parents, which they had originally planned to give her for making Journeyman.
When the egg hatches several days later, a flit the color of the sky falls from it, and onto the toes of Daltan's boots. She scoops up the hatchling and he tries to eat her fingers before she has a chance to start feeding him. Because of the way he is acting, the flit is dubbed Brat.
Then, not even three weeks after Brat has hatched, the Hatching occurs. Daltan finds herself facing down a sizable green hatchling, who declares that Daltan is hers and that her name is Tagoth.
Following male dragonrider tradition, Daltan becomes D'ltan.
Everyone at Ista knew that D'ltan and Qu'ade planned to become weyrmated once he returned from his training as a weyrling master assistant, and she had graduated from being a weyrling. An accident stole that away from her, along with D'ltan's intended, his dragon, and then his brother. Quiller told the Greenrider that Qu'ade was still alive, and he would find him. D'ltan was willing to give Quiller the chance to look, but doubted that the man she loved was still among the living. After all, the dragons had cried out about the death of Brown Saeth, Qu'ade's dragon.
The other riders tended to shun D'ltan, with the exception of Meeko, Quiller's girl.
After the trio finished with weyrlinghood, they requested and received a transfer to Star Stone Weyr. The reason given- D'ltan was fed up with how she was treated by the others, and she wanted a new start in a new place that had no memories of the man she loved.
Dragon -
Name - Rynith
Color - Brown
Sire - Nicorth
Dam - Shoriath
Personality - Has own rules of logic which don't match most peoples. Mixes words up. Always an original, and a little eccentric.
History- Daltan stood back from the group that encircled the eggs. She did not know if she wanted to be here. Instead, she wished that she had been permitted to go Between when her beloved Tagoth had died. However, she could not do that to Brat. Minx, Rascal, and Sprite would have Impressed someone else.
A gold colored egg was rocking away, and it caught Daltan's attention. The golden colored egg cracked loudly all around the top before the whole top of the shell was sitting on the little Brown head that was peaking out of the shell. He rested a moment then tried again to kick the rest of his shell away. After a few moments of fighting his shell, the tiny creamy amber hatchling fell onto the sands. He righted himself quickly and stood still looking around. After a moment, he headed in the direction he was wanting to go. The dragonless Greenrider started shaking her head, when she realized that the little Brown was looking towards her. She stepped backwards, and fell over on her rear.
Stumbling he started calling out. Where are you Mine, I know hidden you are not. Are you there? Rynith hungry is. Go we now eat? He said as he bumped into the chosen one. The love in the little face was there for all to see.
D'tan sighed and hugged the little Brown to her, marveling over his markings. Dark brown stripes that seem to zigzag over his eyes before rippling down across his shoulders and down over his hind quarters, over the amber coloring.
I am Rynith, Mine.
"Hello Rynith." D'tan greeted her Brown, standing up and looking over at first the Weyrleaders, then T'vor. "His name is Rynith."
She then led him off.

History - From the moment she first broke shell, Tagoth knew that the boyish looking woman was hers. And was very vocal about it as well, as she faced down her chosen person. As for the little blue cousin that came with hers, Tagoth found Brat amusing from the start, and incorporated him into her protectiveness of their person, D'ltan. Tagoth was one of the casualties of the dragon plague.
