Blue Rider R'ne
Character Name: Rene
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Craft/Rank: Smithcraft/Apprentice
History:Family-
Father: Cristov
Mother: Anna (Deceased)
After a difficult birth, Rene was born to Anna and Cristov. Shortly after, there was just Cristov, as Anna died from complications with the birth. Though his family pressed for him to marry again, as he was young and now had a daughter to raise, he never found another woman. He'd loved Anna as truly as one could, and he knew that he could never replace her.
Rene was raised by her rather cold father and her paternal aunts in Namor Hold. Though young, her Father was well known as a Master-Smith. He worked hard every day and came home to his child, whom he raised fairly but somewhat roughly. He didn't know exactly how to deal with this girl child, so he did the best he could. His sisters tried to get him to be more gentle with the girl, but he could never quite understand how. He was rough, he didn't coddle, but he was fair.
However, he was very proud as his daughter grew. She grew strong and much like him. Though his sisters again protested, he started to teach her the basics of his Craft. She caught on quick and did him proud at whatever she was taught to do. If she failed, she tried again. If she was hurt, she bit her lip and forced through whatever she was currently on. He took her on fully as an apprentice when she was twelve.
Rene enjoyed her work with her father, and felt that this was the only way that she and her father could bond. She strove to become better at smithing to make him proud. She had no mind for the weak, frilly girls that had been raised so unlike her. Rene tended to think of herself as another boy; abet one that bled moonly. She had no close girl friends growing up, and still is a bit wary about females.
She likely would have continued her life in such a manner, taking on an arraigned marriage if her Father had deemed it fit, had not a search rider picked her up. Though she was initially unwilling to go, her Father seemed happy that his child had been picked. He told her to go to the Weyr and live her destiny there. If she did not Impress, then she would be welcome back at home. If she did impress, he would be proud of her.
Description:Not your average girl from appearances alone. Her hair is straight and brown, short cropped and thin, and is already starting to strand with gray. Her eyes are grey-blue, and there are squint-creases already developing. Most of the time, her lips are pulled into a frown and her thick brows are usually furrowed. She has a pert nose and a strong jaw, and has a gap between her front teeth.
Her height is average, but her build is not. She is quite muscular with well built shoulders and strong hands. Her hands and forearms are spotted here or there with burns, owing to her smithcraft. She has very little figure to speak of, though she does retain some fat on her sit-upon.
Personality:"Are you crying? You're disgusting. I'm not here to coddle you."- Weakness is something that Rene despises. Feelings are stupid. She is not the type of person to give you a kiss if you fall and scrape your knee. She's not even the type of person to be consoling after you've lost a loved one. Maybe, just maybe, if she likes you enough, she'll give you a hug and be nice to you for a night.
"That dress makes you look as desperate as a green in heat." Brutal honesty is something that Rene constantly finds herself speaking. If you ask her opinion, she will honestly give it to you. Hopefully you're strong enough to take it. She's not going to lie to spare your feelings. If you asked for her opinion, then you damned well better be ready to hear it.
"Love isn't real." She understands the paternal love or familial love, but thinks that romantic love is far overrated. Those girls and boys who sigh dreamily about their love lives, about that special person... They're all stupid and are wasting their lives. They should sit down, pick someone, have kids with them, and leave it at that. If she were in her hold she'd be contentedly waiting an arraigned marriage.
"Are you having trouble? Here, let me show you." Rene is a quick learner, and is, somehow, a good teacher. She has patience with teaching things to people, and seems to enjoy showing off knowledge. She also has a voracious appetite for learning new things. She will try to pick up on others crafts as much as she can, and is willing to show off her own as payment. It's always important to know new things.
"%^&#%#&#!!" Foul-mouthed. Being raised as just another boy has taught her plenty of colorful phrases. And she uses them. A lot.
"I'm rude and I'm crude, and you can't get enough." Rene is a rough charmer. She may be rude and crude, but she also has a sort of magnetism, a sort of charisma that people tend to like. Perhaps it's something in her brutal honesty, or perhaps it's something in the way that she swears, but people tend to like her. She's also very confidant, which may hold some sway over it as well.
"I will beat you. I will beat you until you cry blood." Threats are a way of life with her. She will threaten her friends and those around her in the same breath that she compliments them. Most of the time she doesn't mean them, but one can usually judge her mood by the varying violence of the descriptions. 'Shut up or I'll pop you' is a casual way to say that she wishes you to stop talking. 'My hand to my forge, I will beat you with my gorramn hammer if you do not shut up" means that you should stop talking and leave her alone. It's all in the nuances, really.
"I won't give up! You can't make me give up!" Rene does not know how to stop. She will work until she falls over, push her body till it gives up, stay up all night to perfect something. The best steel goes through the hottest fire, and she knows that whatever she does to herself, she can handle it. Of course on the flip side, she'll also stick with a lost cause far longer than others will.
