Name: Siano Age: 16 Gender: Female Sexuality: Straight Craft/Rank: Minecraft Vulcanology History: Siano's mother, Amay was a weaver who had been a bit promiscuous in her day so Siano never knew who her father was, though she expected that he was as wild and adventurous as she was. Siano overheard some miners who were traveling Southern's coast and who were complaining loudly about how vulcanologists had the easy way. How they picked up jewels easily that miners had to actually work for. This interested Siano greatly and she glued her ear to the conversation about how most vulcanologists had more crystals and semi precious stones than most other people without actually mining. Siano detested weaving, which was what her mother had wanted her to do and asked for a release from the craft. Once her request was granted, she really was awful at it,she told her mother that she was a terrible weaver and that she wanted to travel to the minecrafthall to learn vulcanology. Her mother refused at first, until Siano showed her the mangled scarf she had tried to make.So with her mother's reluctant blessing Siano bartered for sea fair and made the long and grueling journey to the minercrafthall. Siano had entered minecraft and chose one of the most dangerous subcrafts she could find, volcanology. The best part of volcanology was that she rarely had to go underground, a task which she had never enjoyed. She would only go with her masters or people she truly trusted like her best friend Sorbo, who was a journeyman in the craft. Sorbo had been with her from the beginning of her apprenticeship. They had a very close relationship and trusted each other above anyone else. He was one of the only ones who could guide her through her fear of dark caves. She new her fear was ridiculous for a minecrafter, but she was a volcanologist not a spelunker so there. She had been on three volcano explorations which was saying something for an apprentice, but volcanologists had to start young and learn fast or there would be many fewer volcnologists. Through these experiences she was able to obtain a substantial rock, mineral and gem collection, which she traded at gathers and with Sorbo and occasionally her masters as well. Those days were the best days of her life. Her mother wasn't an awful mother as some had, but she did tend to ignore Siano, a lot. Entering minecraft was perhaps the best decision she had ever made. When she was searched while visiting her home hold and her mother at Eron hold, she looked upon it as another adventure and after hugging Sorbo who had come with her to meet her mother, she rode to her destiny.
Description: Siano is tall with light brown hair that reached her waist. her hair was often in a braid for safety and functionality, she has dark blue eyes and a thin body. Her face has a few prominent freckles, and she has absolutely no curves. She is a lean, mean volcano butt-kicking machine, although no volcano has ever kicked back as shown by her healthy lungs and unscarred face, arms and legs. Siano is a pretty enough girl and turns some heads.
Personality: She is as fiery as the volcanos she studied, with a tendancy to be hyperactive. She is also a bit of a hoarder, albeit neatly, and there is almost no room for anything else but rocks in her room. She takes her craft seriously but with a light respectful manner. Small bits of wood, fossils and small skeletons are also collected. Siano is wild carefree, impulsive and at times annoying. She dislikes being insulted and takes criticism awfully. She is liable to completely ignore the person who criticizes her and continue with whatever she had been doing HER way. In this way she can be quite ignorant. She likes men but she likes rocks and volcanoes more. She also tends to hold grudges, even for small things. And for a girl who once screamed for half an hour at a volcano having her mad at you is never pretty. She likes to try and keep at least one set of clothes clean and heaven forbid if it ever gets dirty.

Just two questions really.
Trine is in the middle of the jungle and not near any Volcanos. The Weyr itself is actually around the beaches of the triple lakes rather then in mountains with individual weyrs consisting of huts and dugouts in the sand for the dragons. Why and how would a vulcanologist, who would be most active in regions with mountains and volcanos, be searched when that work would not bring into Trine's territory?
Additionally, why did she choose Vulcanology? That's a very specific subcraft. Where did she hear of it, why did she choose it when her personal experiences would have been most with hold crafts like weaving and farming?
You also need to include one more flaw in her personality. Temper is highly stressed there but temper shouldn't be the defining fault, as stated in the guide to character creation at the top of this forum. If you could perhaps discuss her other faults and/or make them more obvious that would be great!

This is much better! Just one thing, Vulcanologists wouldn't obtain more ores and minerals then those who are miners. Vulcanology is the study of volcanoes and the associated processes so while she's likely to find lots of crystals and semi-precious stones in relation to a non-miner craftsperson, a miner is specifically looking for valuable resources such as ores and the like, and gems are often part of that.
So if you could just adjust that part of her history - to a more reasonable level (say, more gems then the average person) I'll be glad to approve this profile!
