Name: Paej Stage: Prentice Height: 4'9'' Gender: Female 3 Base Traits: Humor, patient, social Personality: Humor Paej's humor isn't up to everyone's tastes. It can be a little morbid, self deprecating, or dry. But it's how she's learned how to cope with her childhood. It's her defense mechanism that she'll use day in and day out to hide how much certain words or looks hurt her. This is also used to push people away because she doesn't always pick up on the cue that her humor isn't appreciated. Her type of humor tends to push people away, make them squirm and uncomfortable. She wants to make friends and wants them to stay around, but this one thing, she thinks, is making it really hard.
Patient She had to learn a whole new world once her arm was gone. It was her dominate arm, so she had to relearn a lot of things. For a long time she couldn't feed herself or write. Her mother would do it for her. However, she spent a lot of time learning ways of doing things and it taught her to have a lot more patience than some. It definitely helps when it comes to teaching the younglings. She uses the techniques she's learned with most situations. Dealing with children is commonplace, and dealing with the elderly. She'll let them ramble on and talk and she'll listen and ask questions. It's hard to have patience to someone above her station if they talk down to her like she's inferior, but she does try hard to keep her mouth shut and deal with them in a calm manner.
Social Nothing can keep her from gatherings. She's always looking for someone to hang out with or something to do. Paej hates being by herself. So from the moment she wakes up she is out of bed talking to her parents (who are usually up early) and then is off to work. After that she's always looking out for someone to just be with until she's actually ready to go to sleep.
History: She was born like all other younglings. However, she went wandering on her own when she was about eight years old and ended up cutting herself on some kind of rotting wood with fungus growing on it. Instead of cleaning it, Paej went on playing like nothing was wrong. Paej has no siblings to speak of and just her mother and father. Her grandparents on both sides have already passed, but she does have a couple of aunts that came to help take care of her.
Over the course of the next couple days, Paej's health deteriorated. She was having an allergic reaction on top of an infection to whatever fungus got into her bloodstream. Her arm started rotting at the source of the cut. Without knowing what kind of treatment to use to save her arm, her parents made the decision to have it removed. Once that was done the healers did their jobs and saved her life.
Now that the arm is gone, she's noticed her parents treating her differently. Not like she can't do things, but just like she might get hurt in the process. They're a bit over protective and making her squirm because of it. She does put up with it, letting them fuss and coo because that's who they are.
