Welcome to Gaia! ::

Character Name: Ralae (ray-lee)
Age:13 *may 14th to keep track*
Sexual Orientation:asexual for now/hetero later
Craft/Rank:weyrbrat/candidate
History:They say it takes a village to raise a child and if that is the case, Ralae needs at least two. Born as the result of a brown rider losing a mating flight and a crafter in Malvern, Ralae was by no means their first child nor their last but she was the only child from their pairing. She knows her father's name is R'lur and her mother Laeoni, so she assumes that her name is a combination of theirs. As soon as she was old enough, she was fostered along with others in her age group to her foster mother, Addaja. From the very beginning, Ralae may have appeared very girly and sweet but she was rough and tumble. Wanna go play with the canines? She was there! Time to go play dragons and felines in the field, count her in! Anything a boy could do, she can do better. And so, Ralae grew as any weyrbrat did. She knows her Ballards and her Duty Songs. She knows basic mending, cooking, cleaning, baking, and other tasks. Ralae knows how to write her name and do basic numbers. In fact, anything that she didn't know, she has made it her point to know including finding out who all her half-siblings are. She has five of them and knows one of them personally, her oldest brother Donal. The rest she knows on sight but not personally. At least, not yet.
Description: Ralae have light brown hair that almost borders on blonde. Her hair is very fine and doesn't tame easier so she tends to keep it short, just below her chin. Her eyes are a warm brown color, like mud just after the rains. A round face that is starting to lose any childhood chub and shape into a young woman's, Ralae has a short nose that tips down, a wide smile with a bright smile. She comes in at 5'0" and 90 lbs soaking wet. Her arms and legs are toned from running and playing but she has no real muscle to speak of and her skin tone is simply brown due to being outside all the time. She is slightly bowed-legged and sometimes walks funny due to the fact that she broke her right ankle when she was 7 turns.
Personality:Keep Ralae busy and challenged; this makes her a delightful and clever girl. Her hands are nimble and her personality a sunny one. She likes to know what is going on and why it is and if she doesn't know, you better bet your dragon's shell she will do her best to find out. This inquisitive nature has gotten her into trouble into the past but Harper Wellard had seen children like this before and let Addaja know that idle hands make much mischief. Because of this, Ralae is rotated through different tasks and crafts so that she doesn't get bored and go looking for her own fun. Ralae can come off as a know-it-all but a good-hearted one. She only wants others to do as good as she does though she lacks the patience to show anyone how it is actually done.
Though Ralae acts like she knows it all, she doesn't. And she has the habit of getting on people's nerves by asking questions or trying to direct them in what she thinks in a good direction. Later on in life, these micromanaging skills may come in handy but right now from a thirteen year old, it's down right annoying. Most of the younger kids stay away from her so she doesn't boss them around and the older children find her too childish and bratty to want to have her around. Some adults enjoy having her around and teaching her, impressed that she can keep so much knowledge straight but many other adults find that she constantly gets underfoot and in the way. This has left her in the awkward position of not having very many friends. While this hurts her deeply, Ralae does her best to plow on each day and not let anything affect her. Right now, she is not sure what direction she wants her life to go in but can only hope she will get there in one piece.
Strengths:Bright, friendly, curious, eager to learn and help out
Weakness:Can be a know-it-all, gets bored easily, no patience for teaching or explaining, gets into other people's business
Other:Ralae is very good at humming and keeping a beat. When she has free time and is not investigating, she likes to create little tunes to keep herself amused. As she has been rotated through many crafts and jobs, she might come off as an amateur Jill of all Trades which she would use to seem more knowing.
