Yakima vanished only to return three years (for her) later a nearly full-fledged mage trained by Ishyar Firewing on Kythar. This also gives her insight to changes that most people would miss, such as the return of a feared foe from Kythar's past. In addition, Yakima has learned, and continues to learn, to control a power within her that only grows stronger as the days go on.

She may be the head healer at Isla Weyr, but Calyenna will put a sunbeam up the ass of anyone who pisses her off (this includes Philippe...) and she is a force of nature to be reckoned with. Calyenna excels in sun and light based spells - so vampires beware.

Infamous in his own right, Philippe's abilities may be nurfed while on Pern compared to what he can do while on Sentra, but that dons't mean he can't something, and if his Weyr is in danger he has no problem resurecting a hoard of (willing, he asks first, okay) undead to protect the living. Of course, undead zombie hoards are not the only trick up Philippe's sleeve - he isn't the most revered and feared (by some) necromancer in all of Sentra because of parlor tricks!

A trickster before arriving at Isla Weyr and Impressing Athnalth, A'thain really only knows how to use his powers for less-than-legal activities but Yakima believes that such tricks could be useful regardless. As A'thain has proven to be a loyal and devoted rider, she has yet to doubt his loyalty.
