History: Canoake was born to Deneeva and Brymellan, almost 19 turns ago in Telgar Weyr. Her mother was a cavern worker who maintained the storage for clothes, threads, and other weaving equipment that came into the weyr and her father was a former candidate who went back to his craft of weaving after he failed to Impress. Canoake was born not screaming but staring at all those before her. The midwife had to smack her bottom to get her to cry and even then, it was more of a complaint. As she grew, everyone remarked about how delicate and pretty the young girl was and so this was how she acted. Even at a young age, she was attracted to boys and would act adorable to get what she wanted, when she wanted it. Once she was old enough for chore assignment, Canoake would make sure to get paired with someone she could charm so she would get out of doing any real hard work.

The only acceptation to this was when one of the dragon riders needed help with cleaning, feeding, tending, etc to their beloveds. And then, Canoake could not help enough. At an early age, she identified herself with a mighty and aloof gold and to this day, that is how she sees herself. Once she hit ten turns, her mother and father requested, demanded, whatever, that she take up some sort of craft. Colors and pretty clothing always appealed to her so she began her stint and continues it as a weaver though she has not formally gained her apprenticeship. Once puberty hit around 15 turns, her pixie frame filled out to a rather attractive young woman and thus began phase two of her plan to become well known. Yes, she has hopped the beds of several bronze and brown riders; no she doesn't regret her decision. While she envies her parents in their love and dedication to each other, Canoake was and is determined not to be a nobody. As with any child born to the weyr, she had the immediate right to stand on the sands when there is a gold egg but with Telgar's attitude, she finds it hard to stand any other time. Still, she refusing to be low browed and has stood since she was 13 turns, hoping that her dragon was out there or she could formally get the MasterWeaver's attention so that she may transfer out of Telgar.

Currently, Canoake has two younger brothers and a younger sister whom she is more indifferent to than anything else due to the age difference. Mellis is fourteen, Ghurrek is eleven, and little Kashimeera is five turns, a late surprise to everyone.

Appearance: A gold in human form is how Canoake describes herself. She is 5'6", 135lbs with curves that would distract anyone. And she knows how to use them. Her bust would be a 40D with a realistic waist and bottom. Canoake boasts of dark brown, almost black hair that slightly lightens during the times Telgar has decent sunlight. Her eyes are a dark green and her skin tone at best would be a lighter cream color. She had an oval face with a wide mouth, raspberry lips; a long nose that turns up at the end, her eyes are rather large but well spaced. She had higher arched eyebrows and thick lashes. She is slightly toned from having to haul rolls of cloth but not extraordinarily large; she doesn't want to appear anything less than feminine. Her favorite colors are red, russet brown and gold. She enjoys wearing hoop earrings and wildly patterned headbands that give her the look of a trader though she had never ventured outside of Telgar Weyr. Her feet are small and her smile generous. On the occasion, she will wear bracelets given to her by various friends and lovers.

On a sidenote, Canoake is slightly bow-legged and she doesn't like her feet. Because of this, she will wear calf boots or knee boots to draw more attention to her legs and body than her feet. When she gets angry or upset, she has the bad habit of biting her nails.

Personality: If it's male, even if it's female, Canoake exists to charm them. She loves being loved and is selfish for attention. Whether she has to exaggerate on what tasks and responsibilities she has been given for the day or finding new ways to lower the neckline of her shirts, Canoake wants to be noticed. She prefers to be the center of attention but if it doesn't suit her current goal or task, then she is willing to supportive. After all, who knows when that person can return the favor? And because of this, she sometimes allows herself to be underestimated and unappreciated until it is time for her to come in and save the day.

Not to say this is a bad thing, especially for one living in the weyr who wants more out of her life than to be the espoused of a cavern worker or married off to a cot holder. No, no. Canoake has plans and plans to make sure her plans succeed. Because of this, she is an excellent organizer and plotter. She has a way with people that can either come off as manipulative or charming, depending on what has to be done and who she is trying to charm. Canoake doesn't have the time or the patience for those who stand in the way of her goals and will trample over them to get what she wants in a timely fashion. Her temper burns hot and furious but burns quickly. After having her fit, Canoake will simply move on and dismiss the person from her thoughts.

Very rarely does she let anyone past the shell that she has erected around her true self, the person she can be most honest with when she is alone and out of the spotlight. Inside, she is scared and insecure about her future. Since she can remember, Canoake has worried about being worn out and broken like her mother and other cavern workers. Though she knows she is was not born any better than any of the other weyr brats, she plans on being the one every person talks about and tries her hardest to make a lasting impression on those who can help her get ahead in life. Canoake has no true friends for which she regrets but friends are only tethers that hold one back from progressing forward in life. Who knows? Maybe one day, her connections will lead her out of the caverns and into the glow light where she knows she truly belongs.

Other: Canoake truly believes herself to be a gold in human form. Everything she does is so that she can get ahead in life and make things better for herself. On a positive note, she does know how to lead people and with the right amount of coaxing or complimenting, get them to do what she wants... Canoake can just be overbearing about it if you give her too much power. She is actually brilliant at weaving patterns even if she doesn't like to admit it to others. Canoake can also speak in front of others without getting stage fright.

And if tektek ever stops crashing I will post a pic of her.
