Location: Small Cothold in Rivercrest Hold
Physical Description:
A petite thing on the shorter end of females, standing around only 5' 1" in height. She's got a fairly lean and lithe build to her with a hint of muscle from the work she does. Her hair is a little longer than medium in length, a lovely shade of cherry red in color that is typically worn up in some sort of leather tie or clip, to keep it out of the way while she's baking. Her eyes are a bright green and always welcoming.
Personality:
Vash shows a strong determination to work hard and be as helpful as possible. She wants to make her Aunt proud and show her she won't ever be anything like her mother. Though Vash doesn't know as much about her, she knows that the woman greatly disappointed her Aunt. She'll never be that kid that argues against being told to do this or that. Instead, she'll dive headfirst into her appointed task to do the best she can. It's not uncommon for her to offer others her assistance on top of her own chores. However, she's not a workaholic. It's just in her nature to help where she can which occasionally leads to her getting overburdened with work or chores. But she doesn't have it in her to tell someone it's too much, and more often then not, she'll tire herself out quickly. Her foster mother has recently been teaching the redhead to learn now to say "NO!".
While she's got a strong desire to work hard, his little redhead is a surprisingly sweet person with a big heart. She is very accepting of people and willing to make new friends. This big hearted nature is part of why she becomes protective of those she cares about. She's been that kid that everyone wanted to pick on because of being too nice. But she wouldn't let them bully her and has since grown protective of those younger than her and especially those she considers friends. She is very rarely judgmental of a person without a good reason for it. You won't see her disliking someone just because she doesn't like the way they look or fear someone because they are missing an eye and look creepy. She'll be there, creepiness and all, with a big smile and warm personality.
For as sweet as she is, Vash sometimes has a difficult time voicing her concerns. She doesn't like to make people upset nor does she like to place her own burdens on anothers shoulders. She also has a difficult time giving herself enough credit in the work she does, constantly wondering is she did enough or if she could have done more. Or perhaps done something differently to produce an even better result? This particular trait stems from her big hearted nature and being too nice. However, her Aunt always seems to notice when things are bothering the redhead and is working to get her to speak up more often. It's a work in progress, but Vash is beginning to learn how to open up to some people. This has especially become more progressive with her acquirement of a firelizard that likes to reflect her feelings and is a protective little beast.
History:
Born to a courtesan that was surprised to find herself with her first child, Vash was given into the care of her Aunt once old enough to leave her mother's care. Alanya did not approve of the lifestyle her younger sister had taken up and absolutely loathed the idea of a child being raised in such an environment. She felt her sister could have done so much more with her life. With many harsh words and several arguments, she finally made the foolish woman agree to allow her to raise the child as her own.
Vash doesn't know anything about her mother, if she is still alive or what she even looked like. Alanya has been the only mother she knows. And the woman put Vash to work as soon as she was old enough to hold a broom. Since the ripe young age of 3 turns, Vash has been helping her Aunt run a respectable little crafthall in a cothold situated near Rivercrest Hold. It was a crafthall that was jointly run by her Aunt and Uncle until her Uncle got sick and was unable to fight the disease. With his death, Alanya relied heavily on her children to keep things running smoothly until they were able to find a few more apprentice and journeymen of the baker and cooking craft. Vash, showing a talent and eagerness for the craft, became Alanya's apprentice. Her Aunt always held high hopes that she might one day be able to become a craftmaster like herself.
Perhaps it was this high expectation, or simply because the woman thought her niece needed someone to socialize more with - in an attempt to get her to speak up more often - Alanya gifted Vash with a firelizard egg she'd received. She'd explained a trader had been in possession and her Aunt had done some hard bargaining to negotiate a trade. Vash had tried to turn down the gift, but telling Alanya 'no' to anything was impossible. So Vash was stuck with a firelizard egg, unsure of what to do. But care for it she did and when the egg began to hatch, she found herself the proud (or possibly poor soul) bonded to a brown firelizard named Fravashi. As her Aunt had secretly hoped for, he became her little guard dog and, Vash found herself able to confide things in him.
When the unthinkable happened and Thread began to once again Fall, Vash found herself horrified yet memorized by the destruction it could cause. She found herself wishing to be able to help more than just her family run a samll crafthall, but help save their home. Their entire Cothold. It was around that time that Vash found herself unexpectedly Searched. The feeling of fear mixed with her desire to see if she was worthy enough to be a defender of Pern made the girls answer immediate. She would go to Western Weyr. Her Aunt was fully supportive and wished her the best of luck. Of course she also made sure Vash remembered she always had a place to come home to as well.
