Physical Description:
Rune is all lithe muscle, even only at 15. Every part of her seems tense at any given time, shoulders squared, head high. Gray eyes are upturned at the corners, and usually narrowed in the direction of whoever's stupid enough to talk to her. Blonde hair is almost white, standing out against skin that's dark from being outside, and hangs loose, shaggy about her shoulders. It's rare she bothers to tie it back, and when she does, it's often only one side of her head, tightly braided, leaving the rest sweeping loose on the other side. Usually, she can be seen in dark tones, or natural shades, not much one to stand out from the crowd.
Personality:
Rune is one of those people that has developed an inner circle after many years of not knowing who she could trust. Once you have made it past many layers of defenses, you will find a woman who will never let you down. The blonde is loyal to a fault, and once you've established trust, she will back you up through thick and thin. She doesn't waver, and in her mind, the people that do, that can be bought or paid off, are not worth their own salt. Loyalty, and an adherence to it, is completely tantamount to Rune. She loathes the idea of someone going against it. If you dare to harm someone she is tied to, you best hope you have protection.
Rune is terribly protective of those in her care, fierce and immediate. She will not let them be hurt, sooner more willing to take the damage herself than to let them bear any hurt. This includes emotionally. If she knows someone is uncomfortable or upset, she will often follow them until she manages to find some kind of peace or retribution on their behalf. No one will tease or torment those that Rune holds dear, lest they risk her own particular brand of wrath. Why let them think they can get away with it! It's not ok, after all. At the least ,when she confronts people, there's no doubts as to what she means.
The orphan is one of the most honest people you'll ever meet. She's never really had the ability to curb her tongue. No matter if it might hurt someone's feelings or not, she will always be straight about what she's thinking about, and tell you right off what her opinion is. Why bother lying, when people do enough of that as it is? She's even frank if she thinks something seems ridiculous or wrong, no matter if it can get her in trouble or not. Should it? To her mind there is nothing more important than to be upfront and honest, politics be damned. If you're not honest, you risk your own integrity.
This is what makes it a little hard to hold a grudge, but Rune has a nasty bug biting her on a rather frequent basis. She will make sure that someone that has crossed her, or the people near her, finds themselves paid back in full for whatever ill action befell the important ones. Be it simple pranks, or flat out sucker punching someone in the face, she has absolutely no shame in doing what must be done. Until she's sated this need, she's antsy, needing to stand up for the people that matter. Anything about her and her life is kept close to the belt, though.
Rune has a habit of keeping her own life and problems tight to her chest, unwilling to let others shoulder it. Anything about her, Rhys, or Olliah, you might as well be prying at a locked chest with your bare hands. There's no need to bare herself to everyone, and the thought of doing it sickens her. People who do are strange ,foreign. Long before her parents passed, there was some sort of pain in her chest, or that is what she calls it, that told her she wasn't good enough. She is bitter about her lot in life, born the wild child, and always feeling second best to her brother, Rhys. Most people usually get along with him better to her mind, and this can lead her to be sour, and irritable, about her situation. She feels like perhaps she's been shorted, given no chance, and it comes out in her attitude towards others.
Positive Trait List Loyal, Protective, Honest
Negative Trait List Vindictive, Secretive, Bitter
History:
Rune and her twin brother were born in a minor Hold just a short way outside of High Reaches itself. The hold was a small hub of activity, with crafters of different skill and ability coming together, sharing ideas and trading their wares. She and Rhys grew up running wild in the streets, enjoying everything their small life had to offer. She began to take to a rougher crowd when her brother began to find his own intrigue with boring Craft, finding herself drawn to an aggressive group of boys that were good at fighting. Fighting...and as it turned out, hunting. The activity kept her busy, and she was all too rhappy to dive in and become something more powerful.
It didn't take long for the girl to find a mentor, someone to teach her everything she wanted to know. The tips and tricks stuck like glue to the wild-child of the two. Rune didn't like the calm and quiet of the weyr. She preferred getting in to trouble, fighting fire with fire and devoting herself to knowing how to track, hunt, figure out how to clearly track any beast that ran on the land, and how to spot those that did not. She didn't get on well with the other hunters, too hard, too unwilling to work with others.
Her brother had to had to break up a lot of fights, getting himself scarred up and marked. It was a thrill for her, getting bruises and scars left and right, enjoying the marks that were put on her, despite her brother stepping in on and off. It wasn't until the first threadfall that things really became mad. No one had expected it. No one had thought anything like this could happen, and so when it did, they were wholly unprepared. In a tiny hold like theirs, homes were decimated, people killed...their mother and father, gone. Rune saw her parents die, watched what happened even as Rhys dragged her off, yanking her away until they were pulled on to dragon back. She remembers that day with terrifying clarity.
From there, she recalls High Reaches, the first few months a blur as she and Rhys recovered from the scoring that they got from running and hiding. She was furious, an angry child stuck in a place she didn't belong, and alone...until they met Olliah of Gold Fianth. Rune didn't trust the woman at all, a Goldrider whose dragon was just as welcoming as she was. No one was that trusting, that warm. No one took in kids like her and Rhys without ulterior motive. She was more sure than anything that it had to be some kind of trick, something wrong. In the turn that she and Rhys have spent at the Weyr, she's come to trust Olliah at least, only really calming herself if the woman is brought in to mediate the conflict. Elsewise, this girl is a known wild-child.
Other:
Rune is the twin sister to Rhys, and the more wild of the two.
