She is about average height and is told the color dark blue brings out the blue in her eyes and the red in her lips. She has blue eyes, red lips and pale skin. When people saw her, they often made the "ward-evil" sign with their hands, for cripples were believed to carry bad fortune.Įona has long black hair and is described as slim-hipped and small breasted.
She was always looked down upon as a cripple by most people she came across, even strangers. For 4 years she trained with Swordmaster Ranne and Swordmaster Jin-Pa. Before she started Dragoneye candidate training, Heuris Brannon had her hip crippled to hide her girlish grace and make her untouchable. Because she could see the dragons, he trained her to become Eon, the boy disguise so she could become a Dragoneye candidate. She labored there for two years before Heuris Brannon came and took her into his protection. She was sold because her stepfather said there was no use of another man's child when they had another man's son. When Eona was six, she was sold into bond service at a salt farm.
