Name: Nadira
Age: 18
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Craft: Healer Apprentice
Rank: Candidate
Physical Description:
Nadira is slim, but don't let that fool you. She's got a grip that would shock anyone that just looked at her. She stands at about 5'7" and weighs 140lbs and is well muscled in a lithe sort of way from helping do just about any job she could get her hands on. She was always found helping the Wher and Runnerbeast handlers most of the time and that kept her actively engaged, giving her the physique she now holds. Her eyes are a light shade of green and her hair is a lovely shade of chestnut that is often tied back in a braid. Her skin is light, though not fair.
Personality:
She is extremely hard working and believes that everything is earned by dedication and commitment. Her father was a and her mother was a Healer so she did her best to make them both proud by being the best child they could have, especially being the only child they had. Her mother had gone through some complications with her birth that left her infertile and the lack of siblings made Nadira want to make up for what she believed was her fault.
She might seem brutally truthful but she means it in a caring and helpful way. She always hated being lied to as a child and therefore deemed it her mission in life to tell the truth, even if it hurt to hear.
There are times when she speaks before she thinks and that has gotten her into a tight bind every now and again but she works through it. Most of the time it's harmless but sometimes people take it the wrong way until they get to know her.
One big thing about her is the fact that if she thinks she's right, she won't back down until you can either prove she's wrong or just go with it. She rarely second guesses herself and once she's made up her mind on something or about someone it usually sticks. She believes in first impressions, so if you come off the wrong way you might as well kiss any chance of being her friend (or more) goodbye.
When it comes to being in a group of people she has found it difficult to make friends at times, but when it comes down to it she will always tell you the truth and sometimes people can see that, or they get offended and that’s that. She does try to keep her bluntness down a notch because it can be a problem creator and she’s aware of this and is trying to get better at this. She’s a passive aggressive personality type in most cases. She can be very leading and she can sometimes let someone else take the stand. It really depends on what is going on. She likes to be around others, but tends to be a bit alone because not many can stand her honesty, but she is trying to work on this so she can have a wider group of friends, not that she has many right now.
If she knows she’s right she won’t let someone call her a lair and will prove her point at just about any cost within reason. She won’t humiliate anyone, but she will point out the hard facts and make sure she is heard. If there are a negative consequence, which is 90% likely, she will take them as they come. It’s part of the package when it comes to standing up for yourself in such a manner. She may be a bit disgruntled about the outcome, but overall she knows it is an expected result and just tries to find a different way to come about things. Live and learn is one of her mottos.
She wants to be the best she can in what she knows. She apprenticed with her mother and wants to help out as many people and dragons alike with the knowledge she has. More so, she just wants to be accepted for who she is. She knows she’s a bit rough around the edges, but down inside is just a young woman screaming to be loved. She just never really learned how to be social because there weren’t many kids for her to grow up with. She is concerned that she might not be searched and just might not impress when it comes to the hatchings, but she tries to not think about that and wants to just handle the situations as they come at her.
Strengths: Hardworking, Passionate, Trustworthy and Committed
Weaknesses: Naïve, Stubborn, Outspoken and Brutally Honest
History:
The only child to Neylin and Alekan she grew up well off, in a hold near Trine weyr, but she resented herself at times because she always heard people talking about how it was her birth that made her mother unable to have more children. She always tried to find ways to compensate for being the only child and was often over working herself doing multiple chores and tasks. She learned at an early age certain herbs that were good for healing and that came in handy for when she was older and able to help the wher handlers.
When Nadira was 15 threadfall hit her hold horribly before the dragon riders were able to arrive and she had watched, devastated, as homes were burned around them and people injured and even killed in the ordeal. To this day she still recalls the events from time to time remembering that there are dangers that befall their peaceful skies and has made a silent promise to herself that she would one day help fight threadfall as a dragon rider, if the chance ever arose.
In her youth years she was extremely sensitive and took everything personally but she finally grew out of it when she hit her early teens and started to realize that when people said things, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing what they were saying. She just always had this impression that she had done something wrong since the day she was born so it took her a long time to grow out of that mind set.
Being the only child she was blessed with learning from both parents in their particular crafts. Her father was a Beastcrafter and her mother was a Healer so the two combined themselves well for her. She apprenticed to her mother, but she still learned a few things about beast craft from her father from time to time.
Other/Talents: She'll be with the resistance when it comes down to it. For right now she's neutral party until she's picked up as a candidate and becomes a rider (whenever that may be)
