Weyard
Age: 20 turns
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Craft: N/A
Rank: Candidate
History: You standard weyrbrat, there's not much to tell of her story. Her parents have been and remain a mystery, though as with many children in the creche, she made her guesses based on the looks of the adults she saw now and then. Her ignorance of her parents is completely acceptable to her, and she finds it liberating after seeing how visiting holders rein their children in. Ever fascinated with dragons, of course she hoped to stand for one when she grew. Ever eager to please and do the best she could (admittedly with as little effort as she could) she spent her youth working hard and trying to make something of herself, namely, an independent and self-sufficient almost-adult.
Appearance: Hardy and muscular, Wey's figure would be better suited to a man than a woman were it not for the remnants of curves to soften her flat-edgedness. The myth that redheads are hot-tempered in nature certainly came true here, and the look on her face is regularly one of challenge to those around her. Her eyes are a plain brown and perhaps a bit too small for her face. She is surprisingly short, a few inches short of five and a half feet despite being fully grown. Her clothing is often in plain browns and grays, and rarely kept perfectly clean as her life as a candidate has her hacking up meat and mucking out stalls and weyrs. Dirt is no stranger to her. Her disposition is lighthearted in general, but the fierce crook of her brows gives her an alarming sort of appearance. She's rarely seen in any sort of overly feminine garb, and looks like, in another world, she'd be the type to get into bar-fights with regularity. She walks with ease and certainty with herself, head held high. Her sitting posture is a bit slouching though.
Personality: Weyard likes to get things done, and get them done NOW. She puts a lot of emphasis on efficiency and hard work, be it menial or for some greater purpose. She's got a helpful side that's happy to please others and assist them, but she's definitely her own number one priority. Growing up taken care of by the weyr at large but having to compete with others of her ilk for attention, favors, and such, she learned early on to take care of herself first, them if she has time, others. She has a stupendous ability to put her foot in her mouth by either being too blunt with people or bragging about things that aren't exactly meant to be spoken of, let alone bragged about (This one time I ate so many tubers I was violently ill ALL OVER X's prize wherry! I won my bet with N though, so...) She has no trouble getting down and dirty with her work, and is repulsed by all things girly. Because of this, and her fondness for male company, a few rumors as to her sexuality have gone through her age group. In all honesty though she has NO skills with men in terms of romance, and in a desperate attempt to cover up her fondness for this one or that she takes on the role of 'one of the guys.' With men, at least, she has incredible difficulty expressing her feelings.
Other: She thinks a lot of ugly things (trundle bugs, whers, etc.) are flat out adorable.
