History: Cayxia had grown up in a small village on the outskirts of Rutha Hold. Her mother worked as a kitchen drudge. She saw very little of her father and knew even less about him. She was the youngest of three sisters and one brother all cramped into one small house. As a child she dreamed of travel to far away place she had only heard. She was always fascinated by dragons and desired to one day get a chance to fly on one. When she was ten she decided that she would like to see life in other parts of Pern. Having such thoughts she chose to leave home and go travel. After saving for several years her mother finally had enough money to send her and her older cousin to go see a family member in a far off hold. There she met a smith, enjoying his company she decided to stay with him. Saying her goodbyes to her cousin she settled in. She lived with him and his sister for the next five years. While she lived with him she was trained in the smithcraft, specializing in jewelry. Having a lot of pride in her the smith traveled with her to the Hall in an attempt to make her his official apprentice. She was found on search at the craft hall, at the age of seven-teen at which point she left the home she had found to go to High Reaches Weyr.

Appearance: Light, sun bleached blonde hair framing a delicately boned face, vivid green eyes. Stands at five feet tall, weighs 100lbs. All around small build.

Personality: Generally kind and sweet, she can come off as a bit harsh but really she's just truthful to the point of being outright and blunt. When upset or annoyed she has a short fused temper, but only when she feels someone she cares about is being treated unjustly or unfair. She has an irrational fear of most people when they first meet, which dissolves as she gets to know them. She is also afraid of sharp objects when she is not in control of them, and highly dislikes being in small dark enclosed spaces. On ther other hand she loves to sketch, read and design. She tries her best to apply this to her craft.
She dislikes being around loud and rambuncious people because it makes her uncomfortable. She's a very self confident person, except for when she overhears men talking about the women in their lives. She tends to try and hold herself up to very high standards that she believes she can never achieve. She dislikes people of the Tannercraft because she feels their work is crude and not fit to be considered a craft. This stems from her limited knowledge of the craft in recent years, her schooling being more of the history of the craft.
