Name: Amelia
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Craft: Minercraft
Rank: Journeyman Excavator
History:
Born into a family that called the High Reaches Weyr home, her parents were both involved in minecraft. Her mother was a geologist while he father was an excavator. From an early age she has been exposed to dragons, riders, explosives and more dirt and rock then an average person would likely consider healthy. Her friends came from the weyr and the craft halls alike and most barely mentioned the work of her family. It bothered her and helped sew the seeds of a strong will and a deep-seated pride in the craft that ran in her blood.
When she was able to, Amelia joined the minecraft hall as an apprentice and quickly gained the title of journeyman at the age of seventeen. Having benefited from the knowledge and mentorship of not only the other miners but her parents as well, Amelia found she rather enjoyed the labourious work of an excavator - the blunt humour and honest work that would eventually result in countless feet passing through the tunnels she and her father bore through the rock. It amused her, really, to know that as thankless and humble the job was, each and every person who walked through the hand-hewn walls were placing their lives in the hands of geologists and excavators like her parents.
A turn has passed since her gaining the title of journeyman and her rough-and-tumble attitude has drawn her out of the lower caverns for longer periods of time. There is activity in the main areas of the weyr and curiosity has called her to investigate. It was easy enough to learn of the new clutch and the queen’s egg - a hatching she intends to watch.
Appearance: With black hair, dark eyes, and naturally pale skin, she would have been a dark beauty had her life taken her over different paths. As it is, her face is almost always smudged with grit of some sort, her hair is pulled up into a messy bun and she nearly always wears coveralls for their practicality when excavating. Comfortable with shovel, pick, or explosive charge, she has a sort of unconsciously proud and confident posture about her. Quick to smile and unafraid to get dirty, it’s a rare sight to see her without some hint of her craft upon her person. Wearing minimal jewelry, Amelia’s sole fancy item is a necklace of a soaring dragon her family commissioned for her when she gained the journeyman rank.
Her body type is athletic and muscular due to her work. She is not petite by any interpretation of the word - standing nearly six feet tall (5’9”), she can almost look her father in the eye without trouble and shoulders tools nearly as well as any other miner. That’s not to say she does not have feminine charms – well proportioned and well endowed, Amelia’s charm would shine through if she took the time to dress up.
Personality:
Proud, bold, and confident, Amelia isn’t afraid of lending a hand. Proud of her family and her craft, she’ll often spend hours simply exploring the tunnels they’re in the process of building, memorizing the twists and turns even as she learns about the techniques and tools used in excavation. Easy going and inclined to laugh, she has no qualms about chatting with fellow miners or weyrfolk alike – though weyrfolk, and riders, tend to pass her by. She usually shrugs the lack of attention off easily, confident enough in herself to know that it’s not a personal sleight.
While she is not afraid of closed or small spaces, Amelia does enjoy the openness of the Weyrbowl. She does not, however, know how to swim and tends to avoid Faseth's Lake on principle. Strong and intelligent, she is well suited to her craft and sometimes surprises people with her quick wit and strong understanding of numbers. Secretly, she sometimes enjoys that reaction and believes she’s made an impression upon the person she’s surprised. Eager to learn, to do, and to inform she can be found teaching the apprentices a thing or two when she is not involved in training of her own.
Possessed of a strong sense of curiosity towards the dragons, another favourite past time of hers is to sit along the edge of the Weyrbowl and watch the dragons wheel about overhead. Much like any other non-rider, she wonders just what it’s like to call a dragon friend but does not expect to find an answer to that question.
On a final note, Amelia has a temper. It is slow to ignite but when she is angry she will fume and yell and argue until her temper has run itself out. Be warned, however, if she believes herself truly wronged she can and does hold long-lasting grudges. In a fit of temper she will fling hurtful, pointed things but when holding a grudge she can be very cold – to the point of being disrespectful and ignoring the person as if they don’t exist. Also vindictive to a point, Amelia is not above seeing someone get their ‘just deserts’. She also tends not to back down from a fight and can be particularly stubborn in that respect. Whether defending friends or her honour, she’ll do her best to face down whatever opponent it is; however, she’s not particularly trained in fighting as while strong, lacks the finesse a warrior would possess.
Other:
I would like Amelia to be a non-candidate OOC candidate (if that makes sense). In other words, I would like for her to impress from the stands if she is to impress as she’s no reason to be Searched. =3

Stands Impression is acceptable this clutch, so you're good to go with that. You just need to sign her up like the other candidates and she'll be considered.
Approved.
