Candidates/Weyrfolk/Holders/Everyone else:

Name: Linati, Nati for short and his preferred.
Age: 12
Gender: Male
Sexual Preference: Straight.
Craft/Hall/Rank: Apprentice Harper, candidate.
Personality: Nati appears a very charming and smart boy; at least he thinks he does. Nati usually wears a smirk and keeps his eye out for shinnies or anything that he might like. He pretends he doesn’t miss his family or can cry at all.

Nati initially prefers to act like he is all right and strong. He believes he would be doing his parents a disgrace if he cries or acts like he’s mourning. However he keeps his emotions hidden, especially pain from his current guardian, Kafi.

Keeping his emotions hidden is also why he steals. The boy hates being pitied and prefers to see others annoyed, so they don’t have a look of pity for him. Despite the strong front, he does mourn his parents and brothers, especially his mother, who locked him in the house after the rain started to save him from being hurt by it.

Because of this, he tends to act protective of Kafi, secretly afraid she’ll die like his mother did and especially puts on the cocky act around her. So his manner is that of a thief, taking what he likes. When he is to give back what he stole from others, he pouts, but gives back the shiny he stole. This usually happens after Kafi drags him to the person he stole from and scolds him. When Kafi makes him a pie, he behaves in order to charm her into giving him a piece before dinner.

History: Nati was the third son of a Harper and a hold woman and was in the middle of his apprenticeship at the Harper Hall when the silver rain came. His brothers and his parents were killed in it. The only reason Nati was saved was because his mother pushed him inside their home and locked him in before she died with his father and brothers. Because of this, Nati was taken in by Kafi to save him from suffering as an orphan. He had seen Kafi around the Hold before, but knew vaguely that the Holders were not fond of the girl. His father always said never to judge on rumors and a person’s appearance. So it was a surprise when Kafi took him in the night after the silver rain and gave him some pie left over from the day at the bakery.

Talents: Nati is good at singing though he is not good at lyrics. He also has quick hands, which he’s been using for stealing in between his Harper lessons.

Notes: Nati is short for his age, roughly 4”5 with some baby fat in his face. His hair is dark brown and cut short by his mother with his eyes the blue of his father’s. He is thin a bit with tan skin and a smirk that rarely leave his face. He wears a pendent in the shape of the moon as a gift from his mother on his twelve birthday. As what color of dragon he thinks of, a brown, blue, or green would work
