Candidates/Weyrfolk/Holders/Everyone else:
Name: Iona
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Sexual Preference: Straight
Craft/Hall/Rank: Candidate - Ex-weyrbrat
Personality:
Motherly - This is something that's just sort of come naturally for her. Whether she intended it or not, there were plenty of times in her history where she acted more like a mother than a sister to her younger brother.
Fiesty - She'll stand her ground and square off to just about anyone if they get after her friends or loved ones. If there is a matter that is important to her, while she is willing to listen to other sides or opinions and would be willing to consider changing her mind, Iona will hold to her stance on the matter.
Sociable - Having always been around loads of people, pretty free to run around and interact with anyone that she may, Iona has never ever been the shy type, pretty readily striking up conversations with anyone who seems okay.
Clever - If something seems fishy or if she's presented with a difficulty, Iona has demonstrated some pretty quick wit in regards to trying to get to the heart of an issue.
Steadfast - She doesn't let herself do anything halfway. She keeps busy doing this, that, and the other. There have been times when she works herself to exhaustion with work and play that she'll just sort of kick off her shoes and flop into bed, crashing within moments of her head hitting her pillow.
History: A born and bred Ista Weyr native, both of Iona's folks were dragonriders and weyrmates. Once she was old enough to be weaned, their daughter was sent to the creche live and grow up amongst the other weyrbrats. The occasional visits from her folks were nice and appreciated, as were the little gifts they usually brought on her birthday, but she never really got spectacularly close with them. She was more than content to bond thoroughly with the mish mash of a family that was the weyrbrats. Some time during her eighth Turn, her little brother joined her amongst the ranks of weyrbrats. It was a great day for her. He was a point of focus for her and she embraced her role as big sister wholeheartedly. Young Iona was old enough to offer assistance in helping take care of him and, when he was old enough, a playmate. The two of them were practically attached to the hip and Iona, having practically become a mini-mama to her younger brother, was quite alright with that. The siblings worked, played, and grew together. It was undeniable how close they were, so it probably came as no surprise the fits that happened when Iona was old enough to become a candidate.
In addition to the lessons and chores, Iona still made time to spend plenty of time with her little brother in order to kinda, sorta ease into a bit more space between them. Her care for him didn't diminish, but her focus needed to be on other things too. Should she impress, she wanted to be the best possible partner for whatever hatchling may see her fit to bond with, also so that she may serve the Weyr to the best of her abilities as a rider, should that day ever come. Iona works hard to compromise with her dear clingy brother, and balance her time.
Talents: Time management and multitasking. A handy thing that probably gets picked up anyway, but with her brother being as clingy as he is, he needs plenty of sister time, even if she has moved into the candidate barracks with chores and lessons and things. She's a strong swimmer when she gets to the water.
Notes:
In short on everything -
Born to two rider parents and was placed in the creche after she was weaned.
Enjoyed herself amidst the weyrbrats, even with occasional visits from her parents on her birthingday.
Around seven or eight turns, her little brother made the scene and, once it was definite that they were related, she took it upon herself to be there for her little brother, essentially becoming playmate and mini-mother to him.
Became a candidate at eleven and has been doing the best she can to juggle chores and the like with plenty of quality time with her little brother Ionan. (Otherwise he'd throw such a fit.)
Motherly, has her feisty moments, willing to stand her ground on matter important to her/those she cares for, doesn't mind work much, likes singing and has a soft spot for sea shanties. (Dirty and clean, both, but censors herself on the naughty ones. Those are just funny to her.)
I've always pictured her as having large, dark eyes frames with thick, dark lashes, and thick sandy gold hair that fell down her back in messy, tangled waves that ended about lower-mid back. She has a spray of freckles across her face, across her shoulders, and down her arms. She's of average height, a lean build, and has developed a bit more of a pear shape since puberty struck.
