Description: Syleti is, well, kinda short. She has a slightly stocky figure, with sort of squared shoulders and a long torso. She's very curvy, and not afraid to flaunt it on select days. Not fat, just...she's got some curves there, she isn't a stick. Most of the time, however, she prefers loose-ish, comfortable clothing. She favors the colors blue and green, and most of her tunics are various shades of either color. She has short-cropped medium-dark brown hair that tends to be about 3-5" long when straightened (which would be quite impossible, as Pern has no hair dryers that I know of--NO, using your dragon is NOT an option). Normally, it's just got...weird curls. When it's long... *shudder* Some streaky highlights have appeared throughout her head from absolute refusal to wear hats (unless they're riding helmets.) Possessing frizz and a mind of it's own, Syleti is NOT big on fixing her hair. She has a high forehead with an oval-shaped face and dark brown eyes, ending in a chin that dimples if she's grinning too hard. A huge handful of freckles cross the bridge of her nose, which is upturned and, although not big, is far from small. Syleti was lucky to out-grow the teenage acne around 15 turns of age. She burns often, but after a painful peeling process she appears quite tan.
Personality: Syleti is a laid-back, do-as-you-please kind of girl. She's known for her procrastination, yet she has the uncanny ability to get everything done on time and in a presentable manner. She possesses a very dry sense of humor, and has a sharp, sarcastic tongue. She's a little shy around new people, but once the ice is broken she's extremely outgoing and friendly. She feels it's her duty to give her friends a good laugh- at least once a day. Although she's shown a kind patience toward animals, Syleti has very very little tolerence for younger children. She can't stand them, and if they try to test her, she -will- snap. People often mistake her explanations as smart-alecky excuses, and this frustrates her beyond anything else. Syleti does possess a flaring anger, which is usually covered up by tears (much to her dismay). She loves to flirt with any male, whether she has an interest in them or not- she adores t he attention. When it comes to trying something new, Syleti is sometimes a bit hesitant. If it was her idea, however, she's all go! If she doesn't want to do it, however, be warned--she will -not- do it. She has a large stubborn streak and is quite proud of it. ^.^ On the friend side, Syleti seems to know everyone. So watch out...she knows what you did last Fall! (*groans* Sorry for the horrible pun.) She keeps two or three extremely close friends, one or two of those usually being male.
History: Syleti grew up as the eldest daughter of two Journeyman Woodcrafters at Rias Hold. She was a very rough-and-tumble little girl, never in any way interested in frills and girly things. She prided herself on 'being one of the boys' and was often the winner of small scuffles. Her sister couldn't have been more different, and was very indignant at having her older sibling be the way she was. Syleti hit puberty like a brick wall. The change was quite sudden, as she went from Hold-wide tomboy to Hold-wide flirt. Before she got a good chance to make a good impression on the boys however, she was apprenticed to her parent s at age 12. There went freedom. wink

Syleti took an instant liking to the Woodcraft. Sh e was fond of whittling and wood carving and understood the importance of the different types of trees. She was a quick learner and well-liked among the Hall. She made numberous wooden statues of various subject, which were sold at Gathers for good prices (for Apprentice's work, anyways). She was a bit disappointed when Searched, but shrugged it off and dove into Candidacy with her usual enthusiasm.
