Rank: Candidate

History: Parents? What parents? Delilah is a perfectly ordinary Weyrbrat, and perfectly fine with that. Her life so far has been perfectly ordinary as well, though largely devoid of friends. Her personality doesn't exactly draw people to her.

Appearance: Lilah is relatively short, about 5'2", and about as plump as a busy candidate can reasonably be. She has blue eyes and shoulder-length medium-brown hair, and a round face that could be pleasant if she actually decided to smile.

Personality: Delilah's one of those people who walks around with their own personal raincloud to keep them company, and not much else. She is a complete and total pessimist who spends most of her time brooding over what can go wrong where - and it will go wrong, of that she is absolutely sure. The worst is always a possiblity, and she's not going to ignore that; quite the opposite, she is hyper-aware of the potential for failure, especially her own. She goes into everything she does with the thought that she's not going to succeed, or at the very best scrape by. Over time, it's turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy: there's no point in trying hard if you're just going to fail anyway, so she doesn't, and consequently fails.

She is, in fact, quite convinced that she will never Impress a dragon, and is probably more likely to get mauled and die. It does happen, after all, and it would be just her luck to be the one it happens to sometime. Still, provided she continues to survive Hatchings, she'll be a Candidate until she's too old to be one - a day she dreads. Not only does she not know what she'll do when that day comes, she absolutely loathes change. Change is one of the few things she is really, honestly afraid of; for example, she'd rather stay at High Reaches and get the plague (which, to her mind, is a definite possiblity) than move to Ghenza and be subjected to something new and different. She will resist change with everything she has - a drive she lacks in all other areas.

A peculiar result of her pessimism, Lilah is nearly unshakable. She's spent so much time thinking about how things can go wrong and believing they will that when they do, she's ready for it! She accepts bad situations quite calmly and without fear. She's also completely unconcerned with appearances or with what other people think of her...since they probably don't like her, and trying to change that is, of course, pointless. She might be a failure, but at least she's an independent one.

Lilah isn't much of a talker, but when she does pipe up, it's often to share her bleak outlook on whatever the current situation or subject is. It's not a conscious effort to bring people down, she just feels that they should be informed. Then they won't be surprised when things go south, and if they are, she can pull out the 'I told you so.'

Other: Nope~?
