Name: Riarna
Age: 23 Turns
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Craft: Weaver, Embroidery & Weaving
Rank: Journeywoman

History: Riarna grew up in High Telgar Hold and after achieving her Journeywoman status at the Weaverhall returned home to provide her skills in a place where special Crafts were few and far between. One of the few Weavers in a primarily Minecraft-geared Hold, Riarna finds herself in alternating surges of business and long lulls as seasons change and families with enough marks need extra cloth or new clothing. The talent she once had in embroidery is a rarely indulged-in hobby, mostly ignored and forgotten now but for a few pieces for Gathers or fun. Aside from the Lord Holder's wife or maybe (if there weren't more qualified Weavers at the Weyr) someone in one of the Weyrs, who needs special embroidery out in High Telgar? Her time is better spent buying fiber and weaving cloth that can be put to any purpose, and thus offers a better chance of a sale.

Appearance: Riarna keeps her dark brown hair long and loose, preferring not to bind it up unless she needs it out of her way when she embroiders or cooks. Her green-hazel eyes are her most memorable feature, since they most often lean towards being emerald green in color. Although she enjoys doing her work outside when it is warm, she spends a lot of her weaving time inside at her loom, keeping her skin from getting too much of a tan. Her wardrobe is obviously a mix of bought clothing and clothing items she or her father have made, but she rarely splurges on clothing for herself, keeping enough respectable dresses for while she is at work or out, and only one or two finer pieces for Gathers or any special events that might come up.

Personality: Riarna tends to be rather keep-to-herself aside from the obligatory friendly manner with customers and enjoys her privacy. If she doesn't get enough time alone during the day she tends to get short with people until she can settle down and relax in the quiet of her home. She has a bad habit of judging others on perceived negative attributes, though she usually keeps her thoughts to herself to risk from offending others, and always has them in mind just in case the other person does something rude. Not to say she dislikes the person, she's just aware of their flaws and has a bad habit of thinking uncharitable things about the other person if all isn't going well (even if things are simply not going well for her). This habit has the effect of forewarning her against anyone not compatible with her, so she can step lightly around them and school her expression appropriately (a talent that comes in handy for her). Riarna also tends to avoid blondes as she has a particular distaste for them. They always seem to be the most fawned on, or considered the most attractive, get the most luck and so on, so she tends to harbor ill-will towards them even if she has no idea who they are. It's probably just as well that she prefers her men to be equal to or darker than herself, and that so much of the population of Pern is not blonde.

It's only her smooth tongue, easy and believable with flattery or topic changes, that keeps her bad habits from coming to the surface most of the time and has saved her from ruining potential sales. She knows well when to keep silent and when to speak up, and usually the better choice is just staying silent and letting someone else carry the conversation until her contribution is really needed.

Other: Riarna is fascinated by firelizards, and even though they always seem to cause noise, she has the hopes of getting at least one flit egg and having it hatch into a quiet flit to be a companion for her. She also dreams sometimes of being one of those Weavers "good enough" to work for the Weyr, where her talents might be put to better use than the Hold.
