Shaneese was headwoman at Telgar Weyr late in the Second Interval and early in the Third Pass. Her grandmother was Mother Karina.
Biography[]
Shaneese's mate L'rat was lost when Telgar Weyrleader D'gan accidentally caused all Telgar dragonriders to become trapped in a between "time knot".
After T'mar and Fiona took over Telgar Weyr, Shaneese was a bit hostile toward Fiona - apparently because she was still upset about losing L'rat. But after she discovered that Fiona was Koriana's sister, she became more friendly. She then showed T'mar and Fiona around and arranged housing for everyone who had come with them to the weyr.
While at the medicinal storeroom, Shaneese introduced Fiona to healer-in-training Bekka who had twelve Turns. Shaneese then commented that Bekka's father was Seban, who had been the rider of blue Serth until Serth's death from the Dragon Plague.
When Fiona mentioned Mother Karina and the traders, Shaneese told Fiona that Mother Karina was her grandmother and that she had asked Shaneese to hold a box for Fiona. The box contained envelopes for Fiona, Terin and Lorana, which had been prepared by Mother Karina's son-in-law Tenniz, who had the 'Sight'.
At a later date, Shaneese introduced Fiona to Tenniz's son Jeriz, who had been sent to Shaneese by Mother Karina. "His mother's got her hands full with the daughter Javissa," Shaneese said. "The boy's got a strangeness to him, but not the 'Sight'." Jeriz later accompanied Fiona when she, Lorana, T'mar and Kindan took weyrlings back in Time to Eastern Weyr, where Jeriz Impressed Green Qinth.
Some time after Fiona and T'mar took over Telgar Weyr, Fiona realized that Shaneese was attracted to T'mar. And even though she was still in a relationship with T'mar, she suggested to T'mar that he should develop a relationship with Shaneese also. Shaneese told Fiona that, years earlier, Tenniz had predicted that "I would be second wife and enjoy it." After the Telgar Weyr dragonriders were rescued from the 'time knot', L'rat referred to T'mar as a Poacher.
