Impression[]
Dragongirl
While attending the Fort Weyr hatching of the first clutch of Senior Weyrwoman Cisca's gold Melirth, Fiona was Impressed by a bold gold dragonet, who ignored other candidates and declared to Fiona that her name was Talenth. Fiona also had a gold fire lizard whose name was Fire.
Weyrlife[]
Dragonheart
After Impressing Talenth, Fiona befriended a junior weyrwoman Tannaz, before Tannaz and her queen Kelsanth went between forever as a result of the Dragon Plague. Fiona also became friendly with a 'disgraced' girl of the lower caverns, Xhinna, who later Impressed blue Tazith.
During Dragonheart, Fiona complained of being tired all the time, as did all the weyrlings from the same clutch as Talenth, and some from the previous year. Both the Weyrleaders and Fiona shrugged it off, but later realized that it was because Fiona and the other dragons were timing it to Igen Weyr - to allow sick and injured dragons and riders to recover away from the Dragon Plague and to permit the Weyrlings to grow to fighting size to help with Threadfall.
After D'gan accidentally got all Telgar Weyr dragonriders stuck in a between 'Time Knot' and after Fiona and the others returned to Fort Weyr, Fiona took control of Telgar Weyr and became senior Weyrwoman.
When Talenth first rose to mate, she was flown by Zirenth, whose rider T'mar Fiona had known throughout her time at Igen Weyr, and with whom she had started a relationshiop before they returned to Fort Weyr. At the time of the mating flight, T'mar was recovering from a concussion and was in a coma. Fiona discovered after the fact that she had mated with Kindan, with Lorana's help.
When it became obvious that Telgar Weyr would not have enough dragons to effectively fight thread, Lorana decided to take the weyrlings back in Time to Eastern Weyr - to grow, mate and train for Threadfall. When Fiona discovered what Lorana had planned, Fiona arranged for several people go to Eastern Weyr to help Lorana - T'mar, Kindan, Bekka, Colfet, Jeriz (and his sister Jirana), Shaneese, Terin, Xhinna and most of the dragonriders who had accompanied her to Igen Weyr.
While Fiona and T'mar were returning to Fort Weyr with three hundred and forty-one fighting dragons and six mature queens, Fiona heard, "The Weyrs! They must be warned!," and realized that they were all trapped with D'gan and the dragonriders of Telgar Weyr in the 'Time Knot'. Since she was flying with both of her children on Talenth, she screamed, "Can’t lose the babies!," then unhooked her clips and leapt - into the nothing of between. She then yelled, "Talenth! Go to Lorana!" After Fiona's children Tiona and Kimar explained what happened, Lorana gathered riders and dragons from the five remaining Weyrs of Pern and managed to rescue everyone from the 'Time Knot'.
