Physical Description:
Now, the first thing one needs to realize about Seikih is the fact that she knows she's pretty for her age. With long, dark hair that brushes her knees, and eyes a pretty gray akin to the stars, she cares for her appearance. Seikih is tall for her age, at 5'9" tall, with broad shoulders, long fingers and limbs, and a well toned torso. Her chest is beginning to form, leaving her with a small A-cup. Her face shape is a simple oval, sitting atop a long, elegant neck. Her eyes are set well in her face, a pretty almond, with a slight down-turn. The iris is a light silver in color, with copper discoloration around the pupils. Her skin is very pale, more related around the fact that she's used to being outdoors in the evening, and less in the day, though usually she's up at a very early hour. Her hair itself is relatively simple, long, brushing past her waist to gently touch her bottom, and in one layer, with a jagged cut about her face. A slight dusting of freckles, genetic, brush across the bridge of a slightly upturned nose, and across high cheekbones that give her a proud look, and full dusk-rose lips are usually pulled into a serious expression. Her nails are kept cut short, close to her palms, so as not to get in her way, and the only earthly possession that Seikih seems over-attached to is a simple silver ring, with a bright green gem in the center, that she wears on her ring finger, on her right hand.
Personality:
||Antisocial||
Not usually one for people, Seikih seems to spend most of her time by herself. She doesn't understand the attraction to physical or verbal interaction, since it seems to lead to either problems, or some sort of complication. Likely to only have one good friend at a time, the young candidate is also very quiet, MAYBE speaking one or two words to you, if you're lucky. Most of the time, communication takes place in body language. Due to this specific trait, some have thought her to be mute, when the truth is, she simply sees no need to use her voice.
||Studious||
Thanks to her lack of social interaction, she finds herself with the free time to do many things. Her activity of preference is study. Even before she was chosen as a candidate from her Hold, she enjoyed reading in Starcrafthall , learning about the night sky, and the many other things, such as maths and the like. Seikih also seems to have an uncanny ability to retain knowledge, making her, though quiet, a very formidable conversational partner. This is proven in the fact that once you get past her taciturn exterior, you can get into lengthy debates about almost everything! Beliefs, stars, anything else....It makes her happy. True, most will know her for her silence, but for the few that manage to get past it, they will begin to see the brains that work behind those silvery eyes. For the most part, she will forego any interaction in the favor of watching the sky, to carefully chart it, and in favor of tactical work. She would much rather spend her time amongst the weather and the heavens....They're not as bothersome, after all....
||Self-Concious||
Despite her people-aversion, Seikih has a major issue...The young girl has some problems with herself, however, and finds herself often taking criticism (even jokingly spoken) very personally. Taking a joke is nigh-on impossible, as half the time, she'll take it as a personal attack. It's hard for her to be social when she DOES make friends, because of this issue. The several instances in which that this has happened will usually have Seikih standing to her feet and quickly, if not instantly, leaving the room in which this occurs. Even just a lighthearted joke can be misconstrued into something it's not. It doesn't take much. She doesn't mean to take offense to everything....it's almost natural. She seems to find herself just feeling like something's meant to be offensive, even when it's not meant to be...and it drives her crazy sometimes, knowing that she might be taking it wrong. She's insulted people by snapping at them when they were simply making a joke, and lost what few friends she's had in such a manner. She has very few back in Starcrafthall, thanks to the fact that she called one person a sharding moron with lacking attention, after they teased her about a mistake she'd made in a map....
||Creative||
Hidden behind the silent mask, however, is an artist. Both in situational thinking, and in deed. She seems to have an intrinsic fascination with the night sky, and the stars, and charting them out. Doing so has given her a hand with art, and she's curious about the way that others do their craft as well. Harpers, Miners, Beastcraft....All of them are so different from what she was raised with, and their artistic quality is...incredible to her. Nonetheless, she will eternally favor the shining stars in the sky. She also has a way of thinking in a creative manner as well. Tactically, she can think of the best way to create a situation in which most everyone will prevail, and even better, Navigationally. She usually tends to think outside of the box, use stars most wouldn't think of, charts weather patterns, and uses every new twist to her advantage...
History:
From the day she was born, Seikih was more silent than most children. She never seemed content around others, usually sticking rather close to her mother's skirts. There was some fear for her mental development, growing up, as she didn't actually speak until her second turn, however, soon after her second turn came to pass, the young girl spoke for the first time, asking her mother about the work she did. The girl was raised almost solely by the woman, since her father was never about, but it didn't much matter. It was due to her mother's allowance of her antisocial nature that Seikih began to become studious. Her life was spent in Starcrafthall, learning the tricks of the trade...watching the sky, and the weather, learning their patterns just as she'd learned to speak. Her hand in charting maps became skilled by ten turns, and she was proud to do her mother such credit.
It was honestly something she thought she would do for the rest of her life, so when a Searchrider came down from the sky and found her, well...Seikih was shocked. Something about the way the man talked, about how his Dragon and he interacted, began to fascinate her. The thought struck that becoming a Rider might bring her closer to the things she loved more than life itself, and she decided that perhaps she might go with him. A long discussion with her mother ended in agreement, and so she was off to High Reaches Weyr. It was here that she began to Stand, waiting patiently for the day that her Dragon would Impress with her, and it was here that little Green Kath tumbled from her shell and chose the rather distant young woman. To be honest, though she enjoys her craft, Seikih longed to be closer to the sky...to be nearer to the things that bring such beauty and intrinsic mystery. Closer to the weather, and the very forces that controlled her very existance...Something about it just seemed so...PERFECT. Then along came Kath. Kath, the bright and bubbly little thing that had her frustrated and irritated. A Green who wants nothing more than her own happiness, and Hers must oblige, of course!
The two have been working through Weyrling training, and Seikih is intent to be prepared for any and everything that comes their way.

DRAGON
Name:
Kath
Age:
Young Adult
Color:
Green
Size:
22'
Physical Description:
Kath is pretty and sparkly, and she bounces when she walks. Everything is awesome and perfect and - well, it's going to be unusual to find her eyes any other colour but a vivid blue. In the air, she's fairly average: not too fast, not too slow, and her stamina is pretty much what can be expected from a green of her medium size. Flights, though, are where she'll really shine - and where she'll have dragons lining up to woo her. Happy flights of fancy? You got it! She is a lithe and elegant thing, though still well-built for a Green, with bright emerald pelt dotted with lighter, almost starry patterns. Isn't she the most beautiful, Hers?
Personality:
Hello hers! Isn't all this EXCITING?! Kath is an intelligent and enthusiastic green, with oodles of smarts to spare and spread around. She'll throw herself full-heartedly into every task, and it's rare to find her slacking in the brief spurts of energy that come with taking something new on. She loves new things and new concepts and is forever excited about something new and different.
Unfortunately, she has very little sticking power - though she's forever interested in new things, she gets bored of them, or frustrated, equally quickly: concentrating long enough to finish a project or properly learn a new skill will be difficult for her, and she will be at particular risk if her rider is not attentive during certain points of weyrling training... if ever there was a dragon to be lost in her first jump between, that would be Kath.
Kath is also a creature who needs to get her way - if she wants something, be it a particular herdbeast or a position for her rider, she will have it, and you had better not stand in her way. She can throw a wonderful tantrum, and the whole weyr will know about it when she does: she'll be screaming on both the physical and the mental levels, which can be a huge strain for her rider. This will be more common while she's young, but will never go away entirely.
She's also a fairly superficial creature: it will always be difficult for Kath to see past what a person is presenting themselves as to the 'real' person underneath, but what you see will always be what you get with her. She has no deep thoughts, no hidden layers, just bubbly delight. She and her Twin that hatched from the same egg will always be close, and only her rider will ever come first - she is devoted to him, even if they might squabble frequently. It'll be rare to find the two apart, or not cooking up some special brand of trouble for the weyr.
She has a special love for runners. They are delicious and pretty and perfect and she really likes them. Mmm.
Seikih, Kath thinks, needs someone to look after her - to bring her out of her shell, to show her how much she's loved... and if she won't be social, well, Kath can be social for her! See? The green will always do her best to smooth away Seikih's self-conciousness, possessing enough confidence to make up for three, and to prove that she is brilliant and can do all of this! That said, Kath was also drawn to her creative side, and will always be around to fuel her rider's latest project.
In return, Seikih definitely provides the strong will and the drive that Kath needs if she's going to survive her weyrlinghood... and if Seikih is going to survive her frequent tantrums over not getting what she wants.
