Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Tasryn

Age: Twenty-Four

Gender: Female

Sexual Preference: Homosexual

Craft/Hall/Rank: Apprentice Starsmith / Blue rider

Physical Description: Reddish brown hair that is cropped to just below her ears and seems to curl a bit at the ends. Skin that had once been pale has darkened over time spent in the sun. Her eyes are a light amber color, brightening upon subjects that interest her. She is quick to smile and it's been said that she has an attractively bright smile that has been proven to be infectious. Tasryn has a scar just underneath her left eye from a physical fight she once got into with her father. It runs from next to her nose and curves to the left to end at her cheekbone. Her body, while still small, has become stronger over Turns and muscles can be seen just faintly moving underneath her skin.

Personality: Tasryn is one of those easy going people who can easily make friends. She seems to have an aura about her that draws people in. And when she befriends you she becomes quite loyal, unless it has something to do with another friend of hers. She prefers to stay neutral in all arguments, seeing no reason to get in the middle of other people's business. However, sometimes her neutral standing leads to her losing friends, something that often times hurts the girl more than she'll let show.

In fact, the girl will tend to hide any kind of hurt or sadness she might feel. She thinks of these feelings as some sort of weakness that shouldn't be shown to others and will make excuses to flee so she can express them in private. Growing up it became obvious about where her attraction lay and after a rather...physical argument with her father about it, Tasryn has made a point to keep her preference hidden and will go to great lengths to try and keep it a secret. The girl is a hard worker and is willing to do any kind of work to get to/what she wants. And she is not shy about voicing her desires. At all. In fact, there are times when the girl should learn a bit of tact.

Tasryn can be a bit of a flirt, but she tries to make it come off as playful. After all, she doesn't want another episode of her father all over again. So she teases and plays around with girls but also makes a point to attempt to do the same with males. Though it comes off as a bit forced.

History: There was nothing exciting about Tasryn's parents. They are drudges who worked/lived at the Starcrafthall and were not surprised at their daughter's fascination with the stars. After all, she was born in the middle of the night. She began to show an interest in learning about them as soon as she could talk and would often times beg her parents to let her stay outside long after darkness fell so she could watch the stars, if only for a candlemark or two! So as soon as she was able, she jumped at the chance to be a starsmith apprentice and worked hard at everything she was told to do.

She excelled at drafting charts and maps and began trying harder and harder tasks, so that she could practice enough to master her techniques. In fact, she already knew exactly where her specialization would be! Tasryn wanted to be an astronomer, those stars she knew and loved seemed to call her name. It was in her fifteenth turn that she was approached by a rider, claiming he was on Search and that she could be a candidate. She refused then, claiming that her passion was with the stars.

It wasn't much longer after the rider that her father began to notice certain things about his daughter that she wasn't even aware of. Like how she seemed to be more excited when a pretty girl talked to her. Or how she tended to withdraw from boys when they claimed to like her or attempted to give her tokens. Nope, she wasn't interested in boys like that at all. And that infuriated her father for some reason. It continued on like that for another turn before her father finally said something to her. Which then resulted in an argument. An argument that lead to him throwing anything that was within arm's reach at his daughter. Tasryn couldn't remember what it was that hit her, but whatever it was managed to cut her face open just below her eye. It took a almost a full turn for it to heal completely and she'll always remember that night, to her displeasure.

The day she finally reached her nineteenth turn, she was also due to walk the tables. However, that was interrupted as yet again, a rider on Search came to claim one of the students. He walked around, from the journeyman table to the apprentice table and before she knew it, her eyes were looking up a the rider in surprise. Surely she wasn't going to be Searched again? But this time, she didn't refuse. In fact, she agreed! This was partially because her father was glowering at the rider and the fact that she wanted to get out of the crafthall and at least give this Impression a chance. After all, if she was Searched twice, didn't that mean something?

Turns out it did! At her very first Hatching in fact. It was more than she could imagine, Impressing to the blue Ankith. And although he can give her a bit of trouble now and then, the two managed to graduate weyrlinghood and became full-fledged riders.

Talents: She's quite good at charts and maps, but her passion is charting the stars. Oh and stargazing!

Notes: Green, Blue ;; Her name will remain the same, she likes it too much to change it.
