  • Menolly is the central character in Anne McCaffrey's Harper Hall Trilogy. Menolly grew up in Half-Circle Sea Hold, where she helped the Hold harper, Petiron (Robinton's father), wrote songs, and dreamed of becoming a harper. Her parents, Yanus and Mavi, grudgingly allowed her to continue teaching the local children music after Petiron died as their community had no other harper, but refused to permit her to sing once the replacement harper came, much less become a harper in her own right as they believed it was not right for girls to do such things.
  • At the Harper Hall, Menolly made friends with Camo, Piemur, Audiva, Silvina, Sebell, Talmor and Masterharper Robinton to name a few. Not everyone approved of a girl becoming a harper and she was victim to envy (among the girl students especially) because of her fire lizards, but she proved her talent and abilities and became a Journeyman. She wrote many popular songs, such as 'The Fire lizard song' and 'Brekke's song'--songs helped transmit news and current events throughout Pern. During her time at Harper Hall she made friends with Lord Jaxom and is seen to be one of his closest friends during The White Dragon.She realised she loved Sebell when Diver flew Kimi in the middle of the southern ocean while Sebell and Menolly were alone on a boat travelling to find Piemur, eventually she marrie

  • Menolly is the central character in Anne McCaffrey's Harper Hall Trilogy. Menolly grew up in Half-Circle Sea Hold, where she helped the Hold harper, Petiron (Robinton's father), wrote songs, and dreamed of becoming a harper. Her parents, Yanus and Mavi, grudgingly allowed her to continue teaching the local children music after Petiron died as their community had no other harper, but refused to permit her to sing once the replacement harper came, much less become a harper in her own right as they believed it was not right for girls to do such things. Menolly ran away from home and found refuge in a cave, where she Impressed nine fire-lizards: gold Beauty, bronzes Rocky and Diver, browns Mimic, Lazybones, and Brownie, blue Uncle, and greens Auntie One and Auntie Two. Menolly was rescued from Threadfall by brown dragonrider T'gran and brought to Benden Weyr. After the Hatching feast, she was finally discovered by Masterharper Robinton as the apprentice Petiron mentioned in messages to the Harper Hall and was allowed to fulfill her dream of becoming a harper (Dragonsong). At the Harper Hall, Menolly made friends with Camo, Piemur, Audiva, Silvina, and Sebell. Not everyone approved of a girl becoming a harper and she was victim of envy, among the female students especially, because of her fire lizards, but she proved her talent and abilities and became a Journeyman. She wrote many popular songs, such as 'the fire lizard song' (see Fire Lizard) and 'Brekke's song -- songs that helped transmit news and current events throughout Pern. She married Sebell and became a Master Harper, helping with the movement to banish Thread from Pern forever. Menolly inadvertantly impressed another Fire Lizard, bronze Poll, when she was handing the unhatched egg to Lord Groghe.
