* BeenThereShapedHistory: Fiona, T'mar, the weyrlings and injured riders time it ten years back to Igen Weyr so that they can recuperate from Threadfall and build up their numbers. During that time Fiona happens to be a driving force behind the founding of the Plain Wherhold and Nuella's becoming Whermaster there, and also Nuella and Zenor's wedding.
* ForgetsToEat: During her pregnancy Fiona becomes so forgetful and preoccupied with the dragon-shortage issue that arises following the dragon-plague that she has to be reminded to rest and eat.

[[folder: Ninth Pass Weyrleaders]]

* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan
* GuileHero

[[folder: Ninth Pass Weyrwomen]]
!! Lessa
The youngest daughter of Lord Kale and Lady Adessa of Ruatha Hold, and the last surviving member of that bloodline. She accepts a challenge from bronze rider F'lar to become Weyrwoman of Benden Weyr, and impresses gold Ramoth.
* ActionGirl: And how. Despite living in a time when it is considered traditional for women to keep house and raise families rather than do what men can do, Lessa proves that she can run Benden Weyr and fly her dragon in a queens' wing against Thread.
* BabiesEverAfter: Played with. Lessa gives birth to a boy, Felessan (who later becomes F'lessan), but as the birth was life-threatening she and F'lar took measures to make sure she did not become pregnant again.

* BestServedCold
* BigDamnHeroes: Goes back in time to the end of the Eighth Pass to bring forward the Oldtimers.
* BrainyBrunette
* BrokenBird
* CharmPerson
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her family was murdered by Fax ten years before the events of the first book, leaving Lessa alone and disguised as a servant in Ruatha Hold, waiting for the right time to reclaim her birthright.
* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: Lessa notices F'lar's manliness when she is treating his wounds in Benden Weyr, just after their return from Ruatha in ''Dragonflight''.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan
* GuileHero
* HappilyMarried: While not officially wed, F'lar and Lessa do live as if they fit into this trope.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: She's already short, but compared to F'lar, Lessa is ''tiny.''
* IThoughtEveryoneCouldDoThat
* ManipulativeBitch: Lessa could be said to be this, before she impresses Ramoth.
* TheNapoleon
* NearDeathExperience: Lessa almost dies of asphyxiation and hypothermia when she goes between times to the end of the Eighth Pass.
** Years later she almost dies giving birth to F'lessan, which leads to her and F'lar taking measures to make sure she does not become pregnant again.
* NeverTheSelvesShallMeet
* ParentalAbandonment: Lessa's entire family were murdered by Fax and his men ten years before the beginning of ''Dragonflight''.
* {{Pride}}: This is Lessa's major fault. In ''The White Dragon'' she almost allows dragons to fight dragons because she and Ramoth feel insulted at the stealing of a queen egg from Benden's hatching grounds.
* PsychicPowers: Lessa can hear all dragons, and can also psychically influence or control the minds of those around her.
* RapunzelHair: Known for her long black hair and [[RavenHairIvorySkin very fair skin]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Lessa is respected as a fair Weyrwoman of Benden Weyr, despite her temper.
* StartingANewLife: In Dragonflight, when she accepts F'lar's offer for her to become Weyrwoman of Benden.

!! Kylara
A spoilt and haughty girl, found in the same Search that discovered Lessa. Is rider of gold Prideth, and Weyrwoman of Southern Weyr and later High Reaches.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She is very attractive, but also spoilt, selfish and mean. The others in her Weyr can barely stand her.
* EmptyShell: Becomes this after [[spoiler: the death of her dragon Prideth.]]
* JerkAss

!! Brekke
Rider of gold Wirenth, and junior Weyrwoman under Kylara. She is Weyrmate to F'nor, and foster-mother to Mirrim.
* BabiesEverAfter
* HappilyMarried: To F'nor.
* NiceGirl: She doesn't have a mean bone in her body.
* PsychicPowers: She can hear all dragons; this helps her survive after her dragon Wirenth is killed during a mating flight gone wrong.
* YouAreNotAlone

[[folder: Ninth Pass Other Dragonriders]]
!! F'nor
Rider of brown Canth, and half-brother to F'lar. Is Wingleader after F'lar becomes Benden's Weyrleader. In ''Dragonquest'' he meets gold rider Brekke and falls in love with her, eventually becoming her weyrmate.

* BodyHorror: Gets almost all of his skin horrifically burned after attempting a trip to [[DeathWorld the Red Star.]]
* HappilyMarried: To Brekke.
* NiceGuy: He is much nicer than his half-brother, and is not afraid to show it.

!! Mirrim
Brekke's foster-daughter and, much later, [[spoiler: rider of green Path and mate to bronze rider T'gellan.]] She has a very bossy, prickly personality and is hard to like.

Jaxom's wife and Toric's sister. A talented healer who likes to assist Master Oldive in his work.
* BabiesEverAfter
* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: Sharra falls in love with Jaxom while treating him for sun-head fever on the Southern Continent.
* TheMedic: Sharra is skilled in healing, and often helps Master Oldive in the Healer Hall in that regard.
* ParentalMarriageVeto: Toric tries this on Sharra when it is revealed that she and Jaxom plan to be married. Luckily, Jaxom makes it clear in a very satisfying and dramatic fashion that he and Sharra will not be parted, and that as a dragonrider he will come for her anywhere on Pern.

!! Toric
A Lord Holder who leads a holding on the Southern Continent. He is very ambitious and ruthless, and will do anything to further his land and influence. He is brother to Sharra.
* JerkAss

!! Moreta
Senior Weyrwoman of Fort Weyr and rider of gold Orlith. Plays a major role in defeating the plague, [[spoiler: ultimately sacrificing herself so that all who dwell on the Keroon Plain are vaccinated in one day.]]
* BlindJump

* TheMedic: As a result of having trained briefly with the Healer Hall, she has some experience with healing and tending to wounds. She is very involved in the healing of dragons and riders injured during Threadfall.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure


!! Leri
A Weyrwoman of Fort Weyr and rider of gold Holth. She was Senior Weyrwoman until her dragon could no longer rise to mate, leading to Moreta taking her place. She and Moreta have a close relationship, with the younger Weyrwoman often consulting her on certain matters and visiting her weyr. During the plague, as Orlith is in clutch Leri allows Moreta to ride Holth during the emergencies that arise.
* CharacterDeath: Goes ''between'' forever with Orlith on the day of the Hatching of Orlith's last clutch, so that she and Orlith can reunite with Moreta and Holth who had lost their lives when they leaped ''between'' without correctly envisioning their destination (and thus becoming trapped ''between'').

!! Alessan
Lord of Ruatha Hold in ''Moreta'' and ''Nerilka's Story''. He falls in love with Senior Fort Weyrwoman Moreta, and when she dies suddenly he falls into a deep depression. After his grief over Moreta fades Alessan marries Nerilka of Fort Hold, who he has befriended and is slowly coming to love.
* BabiesEverAfter: Alessan and Nerilka have four sons and one daughter (named after Moreta) after the tragic events of the plague.
* HappilyMarried: To Nerilka, after he gets over his grief for Moreta.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* SecondLove: With Moreta.


!! Nerilka
A daughter of Lord Tolocamp of Fort Hold. Though plain, she is capable, adventurous and dutiful and willing to do what it takes to help her people. After her mother and sisters die of plague in Ruatha Hold she secretly leaves Fort Hold to nurse others sick with the illness and help find and create a cure for it. This leads her to Ruatha, where she befriends Lord Alessan, [[spoiler: who later becomes her husband.]]
* ActionGirl

* HappilyMarried: To Alessan, eventually, after he lets go of his grief over Moreta's death.
* TheMedic: Though not a trained Healer, Nerilka has some experience in brewing medicines and herbal remedies and giving aid during medical emergencies. Her knowledge comes in handy when the plague occurs, and she decides to venture forth and give aid to those sick.
* ParentalAbandonment: Nerilka's mother is a victim of the plague; her father disowns her after realising that she had left Fort Hold to tend to those sick with plague. Nerilka is not bothered by her father's rather blunt disowning of her--she had lost any remaining familial love for him she may have still had when he abandoned her mother and four sisters in Ruatha Hold to go back to Fort in safety and comfort while they died of plague.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* RebelliousPrincess: Nerilka defies her father to go nurse people during the plague.
