I see your dirty face
Hide behind your collar
What is done in vain
Truth is hard to swallow

So you pray to God
To justify the way you live
A lie

Live a lie
Live a lie


Because when I arrive, I
I'll bring the fire
Make you come, alive
I can take you higher

What this is, forgot?
I must now remind you
Let it rock

Let it rock
Let it rock


Note: The things in bold italics are things I added to her profile. Things that have a line through them are things that have changed due to some major experience she's been through in the Weyr. I didn't feel they were major enough to warrant having the profile looked over again, but if they cause any problems, contact me and I would be more than happy to change them 3nodding

Name: Kyllae

Age: 19

Sex: Female

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Craft: Dolphineer

Rank: Apprentice

Physical Description: Kyllae is tall, but not super enormous like Tseka. Standing at her tallest, she barely reaches six feet, which she likes to, not flaunt, but she does cary herself with excellent posture. As if verifying that she's there, and to make people notice her. Her hair is a lighter yellow, but is bleached practically platinum blond because she's outside all of the time. It's sometimes joked that Kyllae is allergic to the indoors. It's very wavy, especially in the front. Kyllae used to brush it straight, but as a part of accepting her new life at the weyr, she's letting it stay wavy. It frames and falls from her face nicely, and is quite an attractive part of her body.

Her legs, arms, are strong, but still have a femine, sweet curve to them. Her body shape is quite an alluring hourglass. Her breasts aren't huge, but she's definately not flat. They don't draw attention away from her other features, but tend to just add to her overall appearance. Her hands and feet are a little too big to be considered especially feminine, though this doesn't bother her much. She figures there are a lot of worse things out there.

Kyllae's skin has also been changed by the sun. Normally she would be pale, but sun exposure has turned her a nice, light caramel cream. She had a few freckles on her arms and back, though only a few on her face.

However, what she's most proud of...She's got the picture perfect dimple. Which only accentuates her pleasant smile. Her eyes, a striking rusty brown, sparkle with life and with mischief, teasing any guy who talks to her, being pleasantly flirty, often time without words. Her face is also quite nice. Slender without being gaunt, her lashes are thick, and the curve of her forehead and cheeks are well formed.

She has a few scars, and some exciting stories to go with them. The biggest on is on the back of her right leg, starting at the back of her knee and curving downwards towards her ankle. She's got a few minor ones on her arm, another long, curving on on her chest, starting right below her right breast and curving towards her side. If it resembles the one on the back of her leg, it's because they were from the same incident.

Personality:

Five word summary: Bold, ambitous, fun, self-centered, vivacious, wary
Likes: Power, getting her way, friends, water, parties, most people
Dislikes: Rude people, liars, people who place little stock in her, being alone


Kyllae, unlike her more serious relative -cough T'ka cough- Kyllae is FUN. She laughs loudly, plays hard, dances, sings(Not always well, mind you. Especially when she's drunk xD),can hold her liquor, and loves to party. She likes to dress up for things, and likes everything around her to be pretty as well. Kyllae is bold, flirty, passionate, and loves to have a good time. She can hold her own in fights, and is not afraid to take a swing, especially when drunk.

Kyllae's life seems to gravitate around friends. She really, really likes her friends. A lot. She's always trying to make more. And while she can come off as a little independant sometimes, she's most comfortable when she's close to people she knows. If there's someone in the room she knows, she undoubtedly finds them, lingering near them, joking, and showering them with love; particularly people with authority. Kyllae gravitates to people with authority in the hopes that she might gain some herself. Ever since her little 'incident' (premature touching of Cheoth's eggs) Kyllae's been ostracized from almost all positive interaction. She's had to stop relying on her friends so much, and start to place more stock in herself. She's more independent now, and a lot more determined to make something of herself. She doesn't 'think' she can make a difference, she goes so far as to 'know' she can, and is not afraid to say so; or to try and prove it. She's quite motivated, and not afraid to step on a few toes to get what she wants. She's a little sour about the fact that if she impresses, her dragon's color will largely determine her rank.

She's also quite loyal to those she does like. She wouldn't betray them for anything, and would protect them with everything. Kyllae's friends are everything to her. She's quite protective of them, and despite her open attitude, is very supportive if one of her friends is in need. Again, she'd do almost anything for them. Kyllae loves to love and be loved in return. Since she's been all but abandoned by her friends, however, most of her love and care is showered on her flits, who are the only two beings she seems to hang out with regularly anymore. Not for lack of trying to get along with other humans; they just won't have it. And not wanting to have to be degraded to recieve human interaction, she doesn't go out of her way anymore to spend time with people.

Kyllae is quick to judge, unfortunately, and often if a first impression goes badly, she'll forever retain at least a mild distaste for that person, sometimes even outright disgust that she has to be around them.

Kyllae can also come off a bit narcissistic, and her ego can be quite overbearing. Kyllae is prone to showing off, and making sure she's noticed a lot, thanked, and overall recognized. She's more or less an attention hog. If someone else is in the spotlight, she wants in on it too. Since she got in trouble, however, Kyllae doesn't spend quite so much time seeking attention. She's not being shy or modest, or hiding, but she's not trying to stand out anymore. Not until the whole thing's blown over, at least.

Kyllae is also extremely motivated. She knows what she wants, and will do whatever it takes to get it. Whether that be making friends, working hard, or breaking the rules. Kyllae is very driven, and can be extremely vicious when anything gets in her way. And goodness forbid you tell her she can't do something just because she's a girl.

So, still not quite sure about her life in relation to the Weyr, she keeps smiling. Keeps laughing, keeps singing and dancing and humming and drinking. Keeps partying. She's Kyllae. She's fun, and happy, but determined and driven to find out if she can finally be better than her sisters after all; all the while making sure to have as much fun as possible, and pulling others along with her. She's Kyllae. And she's unpredictable. Only time will tell if these personality changes are at all permanent.

History:

Kyllae is Tseka's cousin (hence a lot of their physical similarities), on her father's side. However, they both lead extremely different lives. For one thing, Kyllae, until recently, had always lived in Southern. She'd never even been to the northen continent! She has two sisters, a brother, and quite a few cousins. Her father is a fisherman, and when she was little, she would go out with him, to get out, see the lovely water(Her favorite thing in the whole wide world), and the shipfish! At least, that's what she called them before she knew better.

When Kyllae was around fifteen, a very big thing happened. A dragonrider came. A handsome man on a Blue, and it forever changed Kyllae's life. Why, this man was here on search! Kyllae was curious. She wasn't eager, she loved her life here. But a dragon! The majesty and beauty of the creature was astounding! But, she never saw him after that. The man's dragon made it clear he wanted her sisters. But he left her out. Didn't see anything special in her. And so Kyllae's two sisters were taken. One impressed to a green, the other a blue. And Kyllae was left at home. Dejected. Unwanted. Kyllae's sisters, both older, always seemed to get a leg up. Both were a little bit prettier, a little bit more talented, a little bit nicer. Had a little bit better smiles. They each had a firelizard. She didn't. And the list continued on. It was like she had been made a copy of them, but had come out defective! Her father, sympathetic, got her involved in something to take her mind off of her sister's grand departure. And that was how Kyllae was first introduced to Dolphins.

For the past three years, that's been her. Dolphins. Her life. Her love. She spends all of her time out in the water, out talking, swimming, questioning, learning, bonding. She pours her heart and soul into what she does. She has a special bond with a young male, named Argentina. He helps a lot with locating fish, and he'll often goof off with Kyllae, swimming with her, as they while away the hours, conversing on things of little importance. The pair really, really care for each other. If Argentina were a human male, it would be safe to say that Kyllae would be madly in love with him. But he was a dolphin, and one simply didn't think about something like that with a dolphin. (Not trying to make their bond seem gross or anything xD I'm just trying to demonstrate that they get along very well / enjoy each other's company).

Recently, because of her notable familiarity of dolphins, she was chosen to go up to Ista hold, to lecture about Dolphineering, talk about the benefeits of it (But how could one ever describe the bonds one forms with such lovely creatures?) and try to sway people towards such a lovely thing. She had to say goodbye to Argentina, and it was a serious, hearfelt goodbye from soneone so normally happy. She sincerely hopes to see him again one day. Really, even from a purely working perspective, dolphins made fishing so much easier! But she also had to be honest. It took special people to be Dolphineers. Empathy had a lot to do with it. But it was generally best if one had good character. Dolphineers should be honest, helpful, selfless...like dragonriders. But Kyllae didn't have time to brood over such a thing. Not when there was so much to teach people!

It was just her luck that, while she was at Ista, there was a search going on. All the dragons interfering in her life...would it never stop?!? (Perhaps she still harbors some resentment over the first time?) Imagine her suprise, however, when a dragon expressly picked her out! Wanted her to be a candidate? How absurd. It was in heat of the moment that Kyllae said yes. And for better or for worse, ended up at the Weyr. Out of her element, alone, but determined to make due.

However, not to be alienated for long, Kyllae quickly adapted. Gathering up as many friends as she could. Having parties. Goofing off. She spends a lot of time with her cousin and green Haanyath, though other riders as well. Kyllae is drawn to dragons. What else is there to say?

She recently made friends with bronzerider O'asis, who concinved her that her efforts would be well placed in the ILA. Indeed, it was quite an outlet for all that energy of hers. Heck, if she thinks it can get her into a new Weyr, and gain favor with a bronzerider...why not improve her lot in life? She's determined to get what she wants. What else is there to say.

On another note, she recently gave up alcohol, to see if it'll improve her chances of impressing. She misses the stuff dearly, but figures the chance at a dragonet is worth far more than a few glases of wine.

After her premature touching of Cheoth's eggs, and her run in with Favan, Kyllae ceased her ILA activities. Too many people had it out for her, and it was all too likely she'd be caught if she kept it up. She's still not drinking, she's determined to stay sharp and keen at all times now, and almost maddeningly obsessed with impressing; from the sands or from the stands.


Pets: Mischief Trouble

Name: Mischief
Color: Green
Family: ~None~
Personality: Mischief, like her name implies, simply adores getting into trouble. Not with Kyllae, mind you. Mischief loves to make her human happy. What Mischief loves is getting in trouble for her human. Whether that be standing guard while Kyllae gets into trouble, snatching food from the kitchen, or going into someone's room and making a mess; Mischief is Kyllae's little henchman. And she's good at it. Mischief is good at sneaking around unnoticed. You probably won't notice her, until you check your pockets and realize the contents are missing.

Mischief really adores soft and or fuzzy things, with which she can build little nests or hidey-holes. If Kyllae doesn't like someone, all it usually takes is a good nudge, and Mishchief would be more than happy to rob the pillow contents of said person. Not that Mischief dislikes people. Mischief thinks people are just fine. Good for giving her treats, and fluffy things. It's just...she doesn't really form attachments. She has her Kyllae, everyone else, while entertaining occassionally, are nonexistant. The same applies to other flits. Mischief will be extremely picky about whatever male she lets catch her in a flight.

Name: Trouble
Color: Green
Family: Mother Xythe, Father Daeok, Brother Argent
Personality: Unlike Mischief, who is sneaky in her ways, Trouble is very attention-grabbing. Like her human, she thrives in attention, though most of it is negative. Trouble is...good at getting into trouble. She's very vocal, almost always shrieking, squeaking, or finding ways to make some of the most earsplitting, obnoxious sounds as possible. She's also quite the biter. Don't put your fingers near her, she seems to delight in sinking her fangs into the soft flesh to hear people flip out. Trouble doesn't follow orders like Mischief does. At least, Kyllae doesn't try to make her, because no doubt Trouble would find a way to get everyone's attention while she was getting into whatever she was supposed to. Trouble is more for show. And a sort of mini-bodyguard.

Trouble's extremely protective of Kyllae. She spends copious time trying to groom her human's hair, find her bits of food, and take care of her.
It's quite cute, and a sight to see. At least until you try to coddle the little dear for yourself, and she bites your fingers. Trouble doesn't like people, flits, or dragons. She seems to dislike everything really, except trying to baby Kyllae.

Other/Talents: Kyllae is a very good swimmer, and can hold her breath for a decent amount of time. She can hold her liquor, and is good at matching colors in terms of fashion and design. She's also highly empathic. It was what enabled her to work so well with Dolphins, and really drew her into it. She can do a tiny bit of math and mapmaking (having had to learn to map water currents etc. from dolphineering), though her speciality as a dolhphineer was water rescue and search patterns. She was never very good at the healing aspect of dolphineering, however.

Other than that...not much. She can't cook. Or sew. And though she can handle physical labor, it bores her to death. Were she in modern times, she'd be a manager (A good one, from having to work with dolphins and groups of peope) or a teacher. She's also a really good story teller. Though that's probably insignifigant.



Will this character be a candidate?: Yes

And you take your time
And you do your crime
Well you made your bed
I made mine



I wish I could be
As cool as you
And I wish I could say
The things you do
But I can't and I won't live a lie
No not this time




Lyrics taken from Kevin Rudolf's: Let it Rock

Bumping up for revision

I have a few problems, unfortunately.

Firstly, the encounter with the feline is completely implausible. They're enormous and, in the books, they take on dragons. If Kyllae met one of those...she'd probably be dead.

Second. Her personality is huge and entirely filled with contradictions. She's flirty and doesn't sleep around. She's insecure, but very friendly. She doesn't like authority, but she wants to be a leader. She doesn't have a lot of flaws, except maybe being a partier...but for all you said, I'm not entirely sure what she's ABOUT. You say she's insecure, but I don't see it. What she's insecure about? And she doesn't act that way.

I think you have too much going on here. Pick a few things and focus on those. Everything else will come. The partier idea is interesting, but there's too much cluttering it.

Good luck!

}~{Okay, I tweaked her. Took away the feline incident, took away her insecurities and dislike for authority.

As for flaws, I gave her anxiety problems, made her narcissistic, an attention hog, and gave her a huge ego


Apologies for the overly huge personality. I was just trying to make her...I dunno, rounded? Thanks for the critique, let me know if there's anything else I need to fix 3nodding }~{

'kay. I appreciate the effort, but still too long. You don't need to justify all her trains, you can just say she's happy, fun and optimistic all at once. Please please pleeeease try to condense it. To what's really important. All her traits are not vital to her personality.

I think they partying thing is, you know, a good idea. The Weyr doesn't have a party girl. xD It would be excellent to have, but again, it's lost in everything else. Try to sift some of the stuff away and focus on a few major traits. We read RPs to see how she forms, so her personality profile isn't the most important thing, so relax. If something isn't mentioned, we'll still see it.

As it were, the anger thing contradicts itself. If she's not quick to anger...she probably won't just sock someone in the face. > __ >; Just saying. ;D

Lastly, it would help your condensing to remove the not personality bits, like the worrying about Impressing. Almost all the candidates worry about that. :3

(Attention hog and huge ego work great for the party girl. ;D Good faults.)

}~{KK, I took out a lot of the passages, just putting them in a sentence or two but not going into them.

I took out the slow to anger bit, and just made it seem like she'll fight if she feels like it, especially when partying/drunk.

Thanks for your patience in putting up with me while I iron her out. I can't imagine this is a very exciting job xd heart }~{

Approved!

Much better! I really like this one a lot, good job! <3
