Hawkrider

Hawkrider / noun :

First Page Mentioned (By Name) : ch. “Race to the Sea” – pg. 105

Term used for avianators who pilot hawks. It should be noted, the term has a social edge to it, often suggesting some sort of daredevil, rough edged or unstable pilot (especially those many deem unfit to ride hawks). Hawk pilots who want to sound more professional in their approach will rarely describe themselves as hawkriders, and simply refer to themselves as avianators.

Leamo is technically a hawkrider, but almost always refers to herself as an avianator, using it as a point of self description only when she's in a playfully bragging mood (especially when talking about some daredevil stunt she pulled when nobody was looking).
