Previous Craft/Rank: Apprentice Tailor
History: Keela was born and raised in Benden Hold. Her mother died while giving birth to her and at the age of seven she was orphaned when her father died from a fatal illness. The loss of her only parent left the young girl devastated, and she was in a rather numb state when she was kindly taken in by a neighboring tailor.
After her father’s death she became much more withdrawn, hardly ever going out to play with the kids who were her own age. She became hostile, moody, and stubborn, causing much grief for her foster parent. Turns later the Tailor began teaching her his own craft. She went along with it… at first, simply cause she knew she had to learn
some kind of craft. She didn’t like it however, and when he refused to let her quit she became resentful of him. Keela continued on with the trade despite the loathing she quickly developed for it. What other choice did she have? She was good at what she did, and the other crafts she had no experience with.
One day when she was 15 Turns old, the ebony-haired teen was out at the market buying some material when a green Search dragon singled her out. Keela was positively elated, and there was zero hesitation in agreeing to go with them to the Weyr. There was nothing left for her in the Hold that she cared about.
Becoming a Candidate went a long way in restoring some of her former self. She came out of her shell even
more when she was Impressed at her very first Hatching. Since then Keela has become almost an entirely different person from her tailoring days.
Description: True to the northern Benden climate in which she lives, Keela’s skin is pale and her eyes are a light honey color. In contrast to her light skin and eyes, however, her hair is a stark ebony and falls just short of shoulder-length. Standing at 5’3”, her build is sleek and muscular while still retaining some feminine shape. Her chest isn’t very large, but she’s not completely flat-chested either.
Personality: The first thing one might notice about Keela is that she is
very confident about herself and her abilities. “Anything you can do I can do better,” may as well be her motto. Even if she
can’t actually do it better, if she is interested enough in it she will train until she can. She is quite competitive in that fashion and is often seen as being rather feisty.
Keela loves to joke around and enjoy interesting conversation with her companions, but do watch out. Her mood can change like the wind, and an irritated Keela isn’t a very pleasant one. It doesn’t help much that she can be annoyed by just about anything. She also has a tendency to become rather sarcastic. Thankfully, most of the time she’s friendly and pleasant enough.
Despite her tough exterior, the rider can actually be quite sensitive to other’s words and opinions. She may not ever let it show, covering instead with flippant remarks and sarcasm, but she’s not as impenetrable as she likes to make herself seem.
There are many times when Keela can be rather inquisitive. Almost annoyingly so. She’s a perfectionist at heart, so she will question until she is sure that she has understood every detail almost 100% perfectly. She would much rather prove a minor annoyance before hand with all of her detailed questions than prove to be a hindrance later for misunderstanding something. Might as well get it right the first time, right?
