History: Ahmenna was born to Hammesn and Kaleeni at Eron Hold, she comes from a family of fishers and weavers. Her life has been pretty stable up until the recent years. She has a handle of sibling, cousins, aunts, uncles, and extended family who all had a small holding located close to the bay. Where everyone was expected to pull his or her own weight, Ahmenna learned young how to gut fish, haul baskets, mend nets and everything else related to the craft.

Until a couple turns ago, life was good for Ahmenna. Her small family holding went to the see, worked with the dolphins, and tithed to the larger Eron hold. Then started all over again. But then rumors started and security tightened up. The dolphins grew wary and whispered gossip from the northern shores. Though her holding was far removed from the grander scale of Pern, suddenly, there were guards accompanying tithe carts. Dragons came and went quickly across the skies looking for answers to some unknown problem. All the while, Ahmenna grew and watched. Learning to pick up on the dangers of now, not only the sea and wind, but the land and those who lived on it. Then the unthinkable happened.

The revolts took place.

Ahmenna's family went to Eron Hold to defend, at the result of their Lord & Lady. Though they were never attacked, she was drilled along with her cousin, Kharmeen, in basic hand to hand combat and how to handle a knife. Thankfully, everyone seemed to come out of it better than worse. It was during that time that she met with several Trine riders who came to make sure Eron was secured. Though not one who was dragon crazy, it was suggested by green Astarteth that she might try her turn at the Sands next time eggs were laid. Backed by her family, the young woman now heads to Trine to see where her future will take her.

Description: Ahmenna is dark-skinned from being outside constantly. If it had to be a shade, it would be sandy beige if not darker on her arms and legs. She is 5'9" with a well muscled build. Not only does she have muscle from hauling nets, baskets, etc. but her stomach and legs are well toned from constant swimming. Her eyes are hazel in color, leaning towards brown and are wide set. Almond shaped with thick lashes and brows, her eyes are often covered by a pair of goggles used to block the sun. She saved up all her marks to purchase these and they are her prized possession. Her hair is a medium auburn that darkens in the winter months and tends to get lighter red streaks in the summer. She keeps it down but it contains a handful of braids in it, giving it a very eclectic and scattered look. Ahmenna normally wears black and dark blues to match her love of the sea. Her most common outfit is a pair of black dyed leather pants tucked into dark blue boots that are tooled for being on the ship, a dark blue loose tunic or bindings, black work gloves with blue trim, her goggles and a necklace made of white shells that was given to her as a gift.

Personality: Ahmenna was born during a sea storm and her parents say she takes her temperament from that. She is passionate and fiery, often speaking first and regretting later. But because of this, she is blunt and to the point, not wanting to waste time to mince words and play games. She gets along with her family but is extremely cautious and wary of all strangers, even Trine's own riders. Having the last four years of her life shaped by turmoil, she will not give her trust easily but will follow the orders of her elders and higher commands. Ahmenna has learned that on a ship, everyone follows the Captain and the ship runs right.

Because she has ship discipline drilled into her from a young age, Ahmenna will always pull her fair share, if not more of work. She will work with anyone, even if she doesn't like this person, because again the task has to be done. She is reliable, steady, and someone to be counted on when no one else is around. Ahmenna is not squeamish nor is she dainty, calling herself on the occasion (before whers went into bad light), a wher worker.

Outside of work and duty, and with her closest friends and family, Ahmenna can be more loose. She loves to sing and loves to learn, making sure to be at the hold or asking permission to go to Gathers just to hear the harpers sing. She also loves to swim and be active. Playing a game of dragons & felines? Ahmenna doesn't mind keeping the youngsters busy nor does she mind helping out those who are somehow less than her. One for all and all for one means a hold is healthy and well run.

Virtues: Hard working, thorough, steady (not easily rattled by new tasks or places), reliable, patient (when it comes to completing a task), honest
Vices: Prickly, suspicious, cautious, blunt, moody

Other: I left her history vague since I am catching back up here. I would assume that her family would have gone to Eron to help protect the hold. Her only possessions are a pair of dragon goggles that she actually managed to save up for and purchase. If she ages out, I may have her look to becoming a dolphineer.

Okay, hopefully I straightened those out a little bit more. If not, I can change the wording for you and I bolded the changes in her history. Thanks for helping!
