Name: Allia
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Craft: N/A
Rank: Candidate

History:
Up until she was Searched, Allia had never left the Cothold she was born in. The third child in a string of six (five of them daughters), she had no great asirations in life. She figured on a very normal one, as a matter of fact - get married, have kids, and be happy with it. When a dragonrider came calling, though, that all changed. Maybe she could be more. Maybe she could ride a dragon!

Appearance:
Allia is thin, with no curves worth speaking of. She may or may not be a late bloomer who will fill out later on, but for now she's utterly unremarkable. Her face is plain, if a little sharp, and she has wide-set brown eyes and mousey brown hair. Her complexion is average for Pern.

Personality:
Allia is often overwhelmed by life in a Weyr; it's hard for her to know where to start or what to think. Where she'd once been content and comfortable in a Cothold, the 'alien' environment of Telgar has been difficult for her to adjust to. Though she's been there for almost a turn now, she's hardly comfortable. While she's grown more used to life at Telgar, that doesn't mean she likes it.

Allia's slowness has, in large part, been due to her unwillingness to ask for or accept help. She doesn't even like to ask questions, and won't unless it's absolutely necessary; she'll wait for someone else to ask, or else carry on in ignorance. She'll work things out on her own time, and get them done just fine by herself, okay? She may look delicate, but she doesn't need your help!

Socially, she's friendly and receptive if approached, but isn't usually proactive in seeking interaction. She is a keen observer, and spends much of her free time just watching so that she can better come to understand her home. Though confusion dominates as she tries to get settled in, just under the surface is someone who wants desperately to succeed.

Regardless of whether or not there's a gold egg on the Sands, Allia will stand - male or female, gold or fighting, she wants a dragon. The only problem, however, is that she's developed a fear of dragonets following the fiasco with Shaith's clutch, and then two from Kaveth's clutch who attacked not only candidates, but women in the stands. Though she'll still stand, determined to continue trying now that she's latched on to the dream of having a dragon, she's going to be in the back, thank you very much.

Other: Did a little tweaking on 2/15, but didn't make any real changes.
