Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Camilla
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Sexual Preference: Heterosexual
Craft/Hall/Rank: Jr. Weyrwoman

Description: While several turns older than when she first Impressed, Cami retains a girlish figure. Skinny and tall, she has very little in the way of curves. Her hair is boyishly short, but with a lingering femininity. When she's feeling girly, she'll put a clasp or a flower in the side of it. Her hair is thick and wavy and light brown with highlights of blonde. Her skin is tanned from a life of working outside and her eyes are blue-grey and always curious. She often wears a firelizard on her head, or around her neck, and they are rarely seen one without the other.

Personality: Cami is inquisitive. Having lived the definition of the simple life, everything in the weyr is new and interesting to her. She is constantly asking questions; everything seems to hold some interest to her. She likes talking, and she's good with words. She makes any conversation lively, and is always prompting it with questions or making interesting observations.

Cami has a strong will which, more than anything, put her in opposition to her family. Nothing will move this girl once she has dug her heels in, nothing can distract her when something is in her sights. She still has some childishness in her, and since coming to the weyr, she is popular with the younger weyrbrats, whom she often helps babysit. Cami is a rough and tumble girl. She's know for getting down and dirty like one of the boys, and she's just a tad violent when annoyed. She likes hunting and trapping, but she also likes pretty clothes and playing with people's hair. She doesn't see why she can't do both.

She's pretty easy-going; as long as something sounds like fun, she's up to try it. Everything is a new and exciting experience for her, even things most people consider boring. If something doesn't sound fun, she just won't do it, and if she is forced to, she'll grumble, but she'll grudgingly comply, finding some way to make it a game to her.

History: While the world thought thread was gone for good, people began to spread out from the safety of the Holds. Cami lived with her extended family in a small settlement South of Fort, ruled by her tyrannical grandfather and her -occasionally physically and often verbally- abusive parents. When thread struck, they were entirely unprotected. Guided by her firelizard, Cami managed to find shelter in an overhang of rocks before the thread hit. Her family was scattered, she didn't know where they had fled to or what had happened to them. She didn't get along with her family (they were strict, suffocating, stuck-up, and close-minded), but she hoped they were alive, at least.

Cami bounced back quickly from the loss of her family, more liberated by their absence than she was crippled with grief. She managed to flag down a couple of dragon riders after the thread was over, who were surprised to sense something from the strange girl jumping up and down in the middle of nowhere. They took Cami back with them to the weyr, not just as a refugee, but as a candidate.

Cami was taken along with the Fort transfers to Ista Weyr -which had been lacking in suitable female candidates- as a potential future gold candidate. Cami, of course, would have been happy with any dragon, but she did in fact impress to the Gold Leith. In the last few turns, Cami has finished her training as a weyrling along with a tiresome regime of extra lessons designed to correct her utter lack of education. She now flies in the Queen's wing as a Junior Weyrwoman. Her curiosity has continued throughout her time as a rider, and she engages in all aspects of the Weyr.

Talents: As a child, Cami was taught only the mundane, daily tasks that keep their small settlement running. Her only real talent was in making any task, no matter how boring, into something fun. She gets on well with little children, however, and she is a fast learner.

Notes: Camilla shortens to Cami.

Other: Dusk is her brown firelizard, who she found in the wild as an egg. He is her constant companion. She found him as a child while collecting rocks and shells at the beach. She had to keep him secret from her family, but since leaving her home, the two are inseparable. He is protective of her, but well-trained and well-behaved. Dawn is her less-closely attached gold 'lizard.
