-- Introduction --
Name:
Awena
Age:
Sixteen
Gender:
Female
Sexual Preference:
Heterosexual
Personality:
At first, Awena might appear to be rather out of what is currently going on, but she is actually quite attentive of what goes on around her and the Weyr. She ahd learned at a very young age to see and yet not be seen herself, so she is the person to call when you are having a quarrel with someon and need to know their dirty little secrets. This habit had first been formed when she first had her interests stolen and her heart set for music when she first watched the journeyman harper practice in the courtyard just outside of the kitchens. Also, because she was not truly related to Brynt, the other women in the kitchens and Hold treated her so lowly that she would, more often than not, sneak from her tiny cot to the kitchen to the rest of her duties in fears of being slapped, teased, or being pushed around by the other drudges within the kitchen that were no better than her lowly self. She had self-taught herself to know what made people tick, what would make them laugh, and what would make them them afraid of her if she knew something that they didn't want the rest of the Weyr or Hold (depending on what period of time it was) to know about them. Not only is she good at finding out secrets, but she is amazing at keeping them, because she is often the last person that someone would expect to know their every move, their every stolen kiss, or anything that they would much rather keep in the dark.
Her temper is easily set off and when it does, she is often found punching a wall or doing her best to prevent herself from doing so. She is a natural pain fighter, hating tears and such empressive emotions with a passion, and will do whatever it takes to prevent herself from watching someone cry or crying herself, though it has been years since she has done so. Since she hates tears, she taught herself how to prevent tears by closing her eyes and thinking of a song about someone whom had had a more difficult life than herself. She gets urked at the people that think themselves better than her or those that she considers allies and she also hates those that pretend to know everything when she herself knows more than they do about the goings-on of the Weyr or Hold. She isn't afraid to stand up for those that are being picked on without cause or haven't the fighting chance to stand up for themselves, but she cannot stand up for herself due to all of the years of having her confidence worn down to a stump. Though she hates to be the target of someone's wrath, for she hates to disappoint people or make herself look even more lowly than she believes herself to be, she isn't afraid to pitch in a cold remark here and there when it's least needed. She doesn't stop her tongue for anyone that she deems unworthy of listening to her rant about their dirty little secrets or even their personality itself.
Despite her flaws, she is loyal to those that she finds worthy of her loyalty and will not hesitate to pitch in what comes to her mind in a conversation. She doesn't have any friends and doesn't strive to go out and find them, since she doesn't think herself worthy of any friendly loyalty, but she will stand up for those that she feels could make a good ally in the future if she ever needed a hand up or even someone to sit with at mealtimes. Her loyalty is unquestionable, but you've got to earn it if you want her to side with you, and that might take a little more than a wave or a smile.
Talents:
Though Awena does not like to admit it, she is a very good singer as well as knowledgable about playing the pipes and gitar. She is also very good when it comes to animals because of her calm appearance and can keep her head during Threadfall and other goings-ons that happen to startle the delicate runners or Weyrbeasts. She is often found practicing new songs and ballad on the gitar or even the pipes, since she finally has a set of her own to play, in her room or in more public areas when she knows that no one is around. Due to her hatred of bringing attention to herself, no one has realized how much talent she truly possesses, for her voice is as beautiful as a songbird's and it is truer than a cold day during the winter months. She likes to read whenever she gets the chance, for she has a good mind for storing songs, chords, and knowledge of the other people within the Weyr. She also enjoys running whenever she gets the chance, for she is very swift and can outrun most of the boys that are her agemates.

Craft/Hall/Rank:
Telgar Hold
History:
Little is actually known about where Awena had been born and who her parents were, especially as she grew older and looked like none of the people within the Telgar Hold. She was raised by one of the kitchen drudges, Brynt, who has loved her as if she were her own child. Brynt had taken the unwanted Awena, who was thought to be a curse of some sort upon the Hold, into her loving arms due to the past two miscarriages. So Awena grew up within the Hold and had been treated like any of the other drudges within the kitchen until she first heard a journeyman harper practicing nearby. She had escaped her duties of washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen and had watched and listened to him, inwardly feeling the music calling to her at the age of twelve turns. The journeyman took her aside and began to teach her what he knew of music, but when his time in the Hold had ended, Awena was left with nothing but his gift to her; a beautiful set of pipes that he hoped would one day bring her good fortune.
The years continued to go by and she became well-known within the Hold for her talent at playing the pipes, but then came the selection of candidates and she happened to be one of them.
Notes:
Not looking for any particular color of dragon.
