Anyrys was born the second oldest child of a weaver and a tanner at Ista Hold. She and her older sister Adrina never really got along well until Adrina moved out and was handfasted off to a minor Lord Holder's son and Anyrys preferred the company of her next youngest sister Ryslana. When Kathalis, a young boy of Anyrys's age came along they would all go out on little adventures, whereas Adrina would stay home and help their mother instead.
Adrina and Anyrys got along quite well when they were apart, and Anyrys found herself missing her older sister. They would keep in contact through their father's firelizard, when their father allowed the use of his blue for simple letter delivery. Anyrys really hadn't had an idea of what she wanted to do with her life. Maybe she'd go for a craft or just be a simple resident. All most knew was she got along well with the younger children of the hold. Anyrys and Kathalis grew to be close friends as they were much closer in age then Ryslana and him. It was in early teenage years that Kathalis took an interest in her. She thought he was sweet, but wasn't sure about anything more at first.
Before anything could properly develop between the two, Kathalis left for Honshu Weyr. He promised that they would eventually be together but Anyrys wasn't sure they would. And it was that fear that kept her hesitantly from developing a serious relationship with Kathalis. Her first ride on a dragon was to Honshu Weyr. It was to the surprise of Kathalis that Anyrys showed up at the Weyr and told him she was going to stay at the Weyr. The two have since remained close friends despite feelings for each other. But now that Anyrys is making friends and coming out of her shell and getting to know some of the riders, she has other ideas besides being with Kathalis a lifetime...her dreams are leaning more towards that of being a dragonrider though she doesn't want to get her hopes up.
Anyrys is green Ayalith's rider at Honshu Weyr.
