Character Appearance: Past turns spending more and more time out at night, have caused Scimi to pale quite a lot. Enough daylight has meant that she does not look deathly white, but enough that it is clear she doesn't work out in the sun. Her pale blond hair however does not help her in appearing less faded. As Scimi is not going to be a rider she sees no need to keep her hair short and so it is usually somewhere between shoulder and mid-upper arm in length. Often it is tied back when she needs to work or whether she thinks it is going to get in her face, preparing for this she keeps a tie around her wrist or in one of her pockets most days. Scimi has dark blue eyes which lucky are far too cheerful to add to her washed out appearance. They are usually the first thing noticed about her face purely because they stand out.
Scimi is a rather tall standing at about 5'8, this is as tall as Scimi is ever going to get as the girl seems to have settled into her adult form. She is rather thin limbed and not exploding with feminine curves. Although there is enough to tell that Scimi is female she tends to wear rather thick jackets at night to protect from the cold so it would be difficult to tell if not for her hair.
Personality: Scimi is persistent. Although others would say she's simply stubborn. If there's something she wants she is going to keep trying to get it, but there will always be times when she'll have to admit defeat. Quite a sore-loser Scimi is likely to mope around if things do not go her way. Not petty things, with those she'll just be in a bit of a huff for a while. She's an expressive girl, no doubt about that, emotions rule the mind for Scimi. If you get her angry prepare to be shouted at, if you make her sad prepare to deal with the tears. Luckily it is not hard to be her friend, or had to make her laugh. Friends will receive a size-able amount more tolerance than others.
History: Scimi was born in Ista Hold and led an uneventful early few turns. It wasn't until she was twelve turns that something interesting happened, that was when she was searched. Taken away from the hold, her three sisters and parents for a chance at being a dragonrider. Unfortunately a chance was all she would ever get. Scimi failed to impress on her first stand and her second, her third and at every hatching she attended for the next five turns.
There was persistent and then there was just being ridiculous. Deciding that clearly it was a sign she would never impress Scimi returned to her hold, but five turns away made it very difficult to go back. Scimi spent more time by herself, feeling like a reject. Whilst wandering around one night when she shouldn't have been she was practically mowed down by the Hold's watchwher. It was only the brown's handler that convinced Scimi that the brute wasn't going to maul her.
Over the next turn Scimi spent more time out at night learning about the wher than she did doing anything else. The creature fascinated her no end and every new bit of information just seemed to make them more interesting. When she heard that there was a wher clutch Scimi was desperate to try and impress, but the Hold didn't need another wher. Not put off at all Scimi instead planned to go back to Ista Weyr. There she could have a wher and it could be a guard.
Luckily her plan actually succeeded. After a rather nerve-testing meeting with the Queen wher, Scimi had a wher egg of her own. A ground weyr at Ista was made up so that a wher could live in it and Scimi soon settled into Weyr life again, simply waiting for her egg to hatch.
The egg hatched a sevenday before the current clutch at Ista did and Scimi was prevented from going to that or the feast because she needed to keep Scimsk inside their weyr. She was late to hear about threadfall because she had been incapable of going out to find out what the disturbance was and only had the frantic and jumbled mind of a young Scimsk to tell her anything was wrong.
Talents: Needing something to do during her candidacy Scimi ended up becoming a dab-hand at patching up clothes. It might not be a talent, but it's useful.
Notes: Nope
Wher
Name: Scimsk
Age: Roughly 18 months, nearing 2 turns
Color: Blue
Physical Description:Scimi's is a dark greyish blue. The main colour of his thick hide is dusty and looks as though if you were to scrub him long enough then he would be a different shade, this however is not the case. Scimsk's has strips of light sky blue running over his legs. The same stripes adorn his face, over his forehead, over his nose and under his jaw. The bulk of the markings however run down his neck and over his back, covering the lower parts of his stunted wings, and continuing down to end halfway down his tail.
Like most whers Scimsk is a muscled thing and it gives him a rather lumpy appearance, the muscles showing just how much strength the wher has. The only potentially slender thing about Scimsk is his face. Although up against a dragon or flit Scimsk's face is still broad against other wher's it is almost delicate. Scimsk's emotions can be quiet easily seen through his face and not just by the whirling colour of his eyes. Scimsk will often move his ears to show whether he is happy or sad, up is good, down is bad. He also is capable of smiling, although this is more just him opening his mouth in an attempt to mimic a human smile. Scimsk's expressions have a faint human look to them, as he copies expressions and movements off of people he encounters.
Personality: Having only just hatched Scimsk has a young and underdeveloped mind. It can't be said whether his personality will stay the way it is now. Currently the three main things that Scimsk cares about are Scimi, food and playing games. The little wher is already showing signs of being a good guard, enjoying his chase and finding games the most. At this stage the wher is just a bouncing ball of energy without much planning. Scimsk also likes to copy people, whether that is a movement or a sound. He is far better at copying movements than his sounds, his sounds coming out as mangled parodies of the original.
Scimsk's reactions to people can be strange. Being young he is nervous around new people and likely to run to Scimi and attempt to use her to hide. However once he gets to know people they are welcome and even encouraged to play his games. The little blue wher however has a streak of his species infamous behaviour when it comes to people he deems as a threat to Scimi or just plain nasty. Even though he is currently small the wher can put on a rather intimidating display when he feels the need to. He will hiss and snarl and even mock-lunge at the offender and it would be wise for Scimi to train him that without her say so mock-lunging is all he should ever do.
Other: For the record even though it goes against Scimsk's picture I use THIS for wher anatomy. Yes I think they have ears. Except the tail, I don't think it's that long, Scimsk's picture is how long I think it should be proportion wise.
