Welcome to Gaia! ::

And she's ready to be looked over. ^^

The picture was meant to be mostly for example, but I edited it and her appearance wise to work better. ^_^

Personality wise I elaborated more on how her vanity and impatience negatively effect her.

She is at Eron Hold and working on the character profile some. I was reading up about Ista when I was editting and must have made the wrong correction.

Editted again. I think I'm going to switch her to a drudge for a shot at a stands impression since really it makes more sense for her to not be a candidate. smile

All right I clarified it and thanks Tawny! You've been a big help in fleshing Hekate out. ^_^

Craft/Rank: ex-drudge, Wing-rider
History: Hekate was born to a thief of a father and a less then respectful ex-harper apprentice mother. Hekate's mother when she became pregnant with Hekate's after a lay during a gather was sent from the hall in disgrace. Unable to return home in shame her mother began wandering with the Trader's playing her tunes and plying what skills she had until Hekate was born. When Hekate turned five turns old her mother came across her no good thief of a holdless father and in a fury both at stubborn father and fiery daughter pawned the young girl off on the poor man and abandoned the two to their fates. Surprisingly Serom Hekate's father didn't just leave the child to the wilderness or the streets, perhaps seeing himself in the young girl's face, and took the young child under his wing. From then on Hekate followed her father everywhere living among the Holdless camps and attending gather, hold, and the like helping her father steal, con, and gamble what money they had in hopes of eeking out a better living. Serom soon found his daughter to be an excellent distraction teaching the girl how to cry, act, flirt, or play lost while her father nicked the purse of whatever unsuspecting holder was attending the child. As Hekate grew older her old man began to teach her the tricks of his trade and soon the youth was a fair hand when it came to picking locks, card tricks, gambling, thieving, and being up to general no good. Coming into her womanhood early Hekate picked up the art of dancing from a fellow Holdless woman and paired with a knife hidden beneath her skirt to ward off unwelcome attention she soon took to street performing to earn extra coin on the sly. Hoping to one day lose her less then respectable background and become more then just a street rat Hekate formed a new identity as the daughter of a small time trader who had grown tired of the life of a wanderer and breaking from her father's side a year ago she struck out on her own to try and start a more respectable life working as a hold drudge, but Hekate found the Holds far from welcoming to an outsider, even one with a decent backstory. Discouraged Hekate bounced from Hold to Hold for a while doing odd jobs until finally she found work at the more accepting Trine Weyr arriving just before the recent attacks.
Description: Standing at 5'5 with tanned olive skin covered with a light speckling of freckles dotting an hour glass figure Hekate is a woman who's grown into the innate catlike elegance of her lithe figure. Her waist is well tapered with comely hips and a full chest to match her size which she sometimes chooses to compliment with a well chosen corset made to draw the eye. However her life as a Holdless has left her with dexterous fingers and a quick wrist to catch those who are made careless by her looks off-guard. Her hair is a bright startling Benden red that has grown into long mane of loose half ringlets with her age. Her face is nicely framed with the roguish quirk of a smile always playing along the edge of her lips. A now faded knife scar just under her left eye that matches one on her left collar bone remains as a sign that she hasn't always lived as well off as she is now. She has rich amber gold eyes made more prominent by the orange yellow eyeshadow she tends to wear when attending social events giving them an almost feline like sheen. She likes to keep her ears pierced and is fond of wearing bronze studs or hoops in them.
Personality: Vain, impatient, fiery, tricky, clever, unconventional, and driven by wanderlust are a few good ways to describe Hekate. Hekate is a child of the road and the world and goes through life like a fire blazing and whirling with a lust for travel. The dirty, dark, and less then pleasant side of Pern are no secret to her and she's not new to the harshness of life as a Holdless. Hekate prefers to combat this by living in the moment. She tends to be vain taking great care to keep her appearance. She holds to the idea that just because she is a drudge doesn't mean she has to always dress like one. Specially as a former street dancer her looks are one of her greatest assets when it comes to distraction and trying to coax people to see things her way. Hekate is a woman who wants things now and dislikes having to wait, she has a very spontaneous and kinetic outlook on life. Preferring to force situations to be to her liking through trickery, bribery, or hard work rather then sitting around and waiting for something to happen. Born under a wandering star she hates being confined to hall, hold, or caravan for long and the longer she's stuck somewhere with no outlet for her frustration the more her quick temper comes out. This has become a more prominent problem as she's begun to try and force herself to stay put and build a new life. She hates to be cornered and can't stand small enclosed spaces with lot's of people. Hekate has a very harsh view of men, having had to dissuade a few unpleasant suitors herself in her time. She refuses to respect those whom have not earned it and will lash out at anyone who expects her to be some tame little holder wife. She isn't all fire and vanity though and Hekate can make very pleasant and interesting company with her quick wit, roguish smile, and large stash of interesting tales and funny stories. She loves games of chance and tricks and can often be found doing them for young children. Beneath her less then honorable exterior hides a surprisingly hopeful moral core. Hekate is a girl born into unfortunate circumstances that has striven to make the best of them and despite having to fight dirty she's known to pull her punches. She's very fond of young children and the elderly and is surprisingly known to play the white knight on numerous occasions being unafraid to throw herself into a fray in an attempt to snatch a child from the midst of danger. Hekate loves the idea of selflessness and the greater good. . .so long as it doesn't inconvenience herself too badly. Her top priority though is the survival of herself and those close to her and though she's more then willing to sacrifice herself for those whom she knows she's not too keen on throwing her life away for an ideal. She prefers more solid material wealth, but she's also keenly aware that the only way to live forever is to live through stories and she'd prefer the ones told about her be interesting.

Hekate's vanity means she likes things, nice things, things she can't really get with a drudges or candidate's salary. This often pushes her to work extra shifts and jobs on the side or occasionally take back up street preforming for some extra marks to afford her expensive tastes. Then what she does save up she usually splurges on looking nice in an attempt to 'fake it till she makes it.' Because of this, this girl is almost always broke and skimping on things to make a little extra cash giving her a reputation as a cheapscape. This has earned Hekate few true friends though many casual ones and she tends to ply her looks and personality to get what she wants through them and often considers those not truly close to her as means to an end. Her impatience makes Hekate prone to wanting to take short-cuts. Oh true she's willing to work and work hard, but if things don't go her way there's always this little voice in the back of her head telling her how much easier it would be to just nick that holder's fat purse then work up to her elbows in dirty dish water. After all she wants to live a glorious life, but power is something you have to work for, not something that's just handed to you. Hekate has a difficult time concentrating on one task for too long and has to be nagged to finish a project once it's lost her interest. She feels that being tied down to one task for to long is like being stuck in a cage and it's not uncommon to find her flitting about outside when she should be inside scrubbing. A project starter Hekate tends to leave a trail of half-done if not inspired work behind her along with the disgruntled people who have to or have been convinced to finish her work for her. This often leaves her coming off as an inspired clever, but flighty and undependable girl. Hekate has an especially hard time resisting the allure of marks and things of a more shiny nature and has developed a mild kleptomania the longer she's been forced to stay put. When stressed it's not unusual for her to nick this or that just to get the thrill. Guilt though usually forces her to return said missing object lest she be found out and her relationships have suffered for it. Hekate doesn't feel personally that her friends things can be safe around her and she really doesn't trust herself with money at all.

Other: Good at card tricks, slight of hands, lock picking and a variety of other untoward skills involving knives. She's also Claustrophobic with a mild case of kleptomania brought on during stress.
