Age: 14
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Craft: Bakercraft
Rank: Apprentice
Physical Description: She is on the plump size compared to other girls her age and height (max growth 5'4") and her pear body shape doesn't help any. She has a dark tan with blonde hair that has been bleached further by the sun and usually kept up out of the way. Her face is oblong with a roman nose, grey eyes, and high cheekbones peeking through the chubby cheeks.
Personality: Tidria is a good sort of girl with the right amount of agreeableness that can be problematic. She is also well-mannered towards others if appearing a bit naive and innocent in the way her mind thinks. She is good-hearted and wishes to see the best in everyone around her. This ideal causes her to be very gullible about good intentions masking the truer feelings and motives. She also tends to get very wrapped up in socializing that sometimes she'll forget what it was she was in the middle of doing and tends to leaves many tasks unfinished. But that doesn't mean she goes out of her way to be audacious, she is rather prudent with her acquaintances by not speaking out of turn.
Since she prefers being in groups, she tends to have issues with her own individuality and will compromise her own beliefs just to fit in. She fears other judging her, so keeps her personal matters, well, personal. Her own feelings are often shielded from others to avoid any awkward reactions from those around her. She cares about the feelings of others and comes off a bit motherly to those close to her age or younger.
Strengths: groups, well-mannered, good-hearted, nurturing, prudent
Weaknesses: gullible, naive, compromises self, hides true emotions, easily distracted
History: Tidria comes from a large family with five other siblings that her father sired. Yes, her father got around, but that's sometimes the way of the weyr. But it meant that she had more than one mother to keep an eye on her and her siblings. She's only known Monaco life, traveling occasionally to the hold for festivities, but the weyr is her home.
That is until the day Thread fell from the skies again when she was 12 turns. Her family huddled together in her father's home, fearful for those outside the protective stone roofs and buildings. They didn't know how far this fall stretched, who would be left standing, but as they emerged they were thankful to be among those living.
Then the rogues invaded her little world. It brought about change to her life, change that she adapted to easily. She believed that they were there with good intent. And when word got out that some of the rogues had helped with fighting against thread, she was more determined than ever to think the best of them.
Soon after, she employed herself in the kitchens learning how to bake, cook, and prepare most of the weyr's foods. Though she often burned whatever it was she was working on, especially if someone came in for something. She'd get so distracted socializing with whoever it is that more often than not, some food would be burned beyond recognition. Those in the kitchens quickly shuffled her on to doing menial tasks or a close eye and a quick whap should she lose focus.
Though thread did not fall again for two turns and their weyrwoman was still a captive in the political game, Tidria couldn't really bring herself to think ill of the rogues. There had to be good reason for remaining and she felt they could do more good now compared to how she believed life had been before--though she didn't remember it quite as well as some. As for the rest at the weyr, she made sure not to openly talk about her blind support of the rogues.
And finally when Southern arrived, well, they must have had a very good reason. She couldn't believe in the worse and rumors anyone conveyed around the weyr. And she certainly doesn't know anything about any assassination attempts, purposely choosing to not acknowledge that sort of ill-intent whatsoever. Though she had no true love for Southern, she couldn't bring herself to think poorly of anyone.
