From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kylara is a character in the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey. She is the head strong Weyrwoman of the Southern Weyr, later moving to High Reaches Weyr when the southern continent is given to the rebellious oldtimers who refuse to acknowledge Benden as their sovereign. When Prideth rises to mate at the same time Brekke's gold Wirenth does, she fails to control Prideth. This causes the death of both queens. She loses her wits at the loss of her queen. She breaks all the rules both sexually and politically.

Kylara is the full-blood sister of Lord Larad of Telgar Hold; the daughter of Lord Tarathel; and the half-sister of Lady Holdless Thella and Lady Famira of Lemos Hold. She mentions how Lord Tarathel had cast her mother aside in favor of another bedmate.
