Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Previous Craft/Rank: Apprentice Weaver
History: Sakukoi was born to what started out as a small weaver family in Ursul Hold. He was their second child, but was also their first son. As he grew, his parents had more children together, and he and his older sister looked helped to look after them as well as help with whatever other household chores were required. Sakukoi, being a very quite boy and not at all outgoing, never really had any friends outside of his own siblings. In fact, the neighborhood boys often referred to him as the weaver’s ‘second daughter’ due to his very effeminate looks and long black hair.
Once he grew old enough, the boy began learning the family trade from his parents in addition to helping out with his two little sisters and younger brother. It was a simple life, but a happy enough one for the boy. He found the art of weaving to be a rather beautiful one, and was glad to be able to partake in it.
It wasn’t till around age 11 that things began to go downhill. His beloved older sister, Kiraya, contracted a mysterious illness and quickly declined in health. The local healer was able to do nothing to help her, and a mere six months later she passed away, suffocating in the night. It was a time of grief for the whole family, but Sakukoi was especially devastated. He became even quieter than he had been before, and absorbed most all of his attention into his weaving.
Two Turns later a greenrider came by the Hold on Search, and Sakukoi was chosen as a potential Candidate. No one expected that the quiet, practically invisible weaver child would even
want to consider being a dragonrider, but he defied everyone’s expectations when he politely accepted the greenrider’s invitation to return to Trine Weyr with him. One Turn later at the age of 14, he himself Impressed a green.
Description: If S’koi's appearance had to be described in one word, it would be ‘effeminate’. Bearing a small thin frame of 5’4”, long straight black hair that reaches down past the middle of his back, and brown Asianesque eyes with prominent lashes, it is very difficult most times to tell that he is indeed a male. Despite appearances, however, he is not frail or without strength and can actually hold his own quite well. His skin is tanned to a medium brown, but if out of the sun long enough (which is nigh impossible at Trine), it actually has the capacity to become fairly fair. Not white glow-in-the-dark fair, but fair enough.
Personality: S’koi is very much a wallflower. He lacks any sort of presence that a bronze or brownrider might have, and, added to his quiet demeanor, his tendency not to say much at all, and his still very young age, he blends into the background very easily. Just because
he goes unnoticed, however, doesn’t necessarily mean that the reverse is true. The greenrider spends much of the time that he’s blending into the background observing the actions and conversations of those around him. If one were to take the time to converse with him, they might be surprised at the small tidbits he has picked up on that, for any other, might provide excellent fuel for the rumormill. Luckily for everyone else, S’koi is not one prone to spreading gossip; information
intake is his main preference instead.
When he
does speak, the teen is soft-spoken and is always very polite. Polite to the point of distancing himself from others actually, and even here at the Weyr he has yet to make any
real friends. Or at least any friends that he is willing to confide in anyway. No one really knows much about him other than that he came from a weaver family at some hold and has some siblings (One? Two? Brother? Sister? Older? Younger? Who knows. The conversation doesn’t generally get much farther than that). He has never had any relationships with people outside of his family before, and, other than with his life mate, even now he still struggles with the concept of real ‘friendship’ with others.
