Craft:
Harpercraft Apprentice
Rank:
Candidate
Location: High Reaches Weyr
Physical Description:
If there is one thing that Alumet is aware of, it is that she is beautiful, much in the way her mother is. Her hair is a soft, bright strawberry blonde, long and slightly waved. Her eyes are a quiet gray with a bit of mischief always sparkling in the corners. Standing at about 5'8", she has long legs, and a soft hourglass figure, a rounded, almost cherubic face. Her hips are curvy, and her bust an ample size, a trait she takes pride in. Her face is always accented by a styled bun, with usually one or two braids in it. Her clothing is always carefully picked to slightly accentuate the appearance that she is proud to have inherited from her mother.
Personality:
There is not a single place that the girl walks that it is not clear that she owns herself and the hall she is in. She exhudes an air of knowing herself and those around her, sometimes better than she actually does. That confidence comes in everything she does. Alumet approaches everything with a grace and finesse that makes it seem as though she is ready and able to do just about everything, even if she has no idea what it is. With people, it seems as though she has no fear, happy to talk to even those who don't have people around them, no fear, no doubt.

You will hardly ever find a frown on her lips. Alumet is always in a good mood, smiling, singing, or laughing. Even when she is upset or angry, she tries to coat it behind the same joviality that the rest of her life has twisted in to its threads. She's always ready with a sweet word, or a good joke, trying to infuse everyone with the same joy that she sees in the day-to-day wonder. Even if you are rude, or aggressive, it seems not to break her stride in the least. To the end, those who make it past all her layers of defenses will find a woman loyal to the core, willing to fight to the death. First and foremost, this is for her family, but if you make it in to Alumet's tight inner circle...you will be quickly included. No matter what you do, you will have her at your back.
While she might always tell you exactly what she is THINKING about what you'r doing, she will never turn her back on you because of it.

That loyalty can come with a bit of a price. She can tend to be extremely overprotective. People will find her standing a bit too close, or taking on their battles. There's a thought she has that the people around her need someone to help fight their battles. Whether true or not, she seems to always take it to her mind that it is her job to ensure their safety. She doesn't often take in the advice of others once she's in that state of thought.

The girl has a bit of an obsession with the way she looks, and anyone who tries to be with her will often find themselves subject to the same scrutiny that she subjects herself to. Alumet is very vain, and cares deeply about not only physical appearance, but how she seems to others. If someone views her in a poor light, she tends to freak out. She'll fight to change it to a more positive outlook no matter the cost. In that, what Alumet thinks of as her worst trait comes to light. She prefers it when things go her way, and can get aggressive if she feels that someone is going against the way things should be. Her mentality of how things should be revolves around her own intentions and values, though, so it can be skewed.

History:
Born to a once Courtesan, Aluisa, and a Blacksmith, Cahlumet, Alumet was the middle child of the pair, younger sister to Cahlusi. She was born in to a tiny mining hold that, in all honesty, she doesn't remember. After all, how is a girl to remember the home and father she barely knew? The most she recalls is her mother scooping her up, gently shushing her, as they ran. She remembers the feeling of her hand in her brother's, her mother's warmth, and running. She remembers the rider that found them. Other than that, the most memory she has of her father is the smell of the forge, and the roughness of his hands.

As far as Alumet is concerned, she is a weyrbrat and always has been. When they arrived at High Reaches and she began to meet the other children, she was more often seen hiding behind her big brother, but came out to play quickly, interested in making friends. Her favourite people as a child, however, were adults, because sometimes they would fawn and fuss, and she enjoyed the attention. Even as a little girl, Alumet loved being in the limelight, and as long as someone was paying attention? She was happy.

Her brother was the one she would always run back to at first, though. Whenever she felt nervous, uncomfortable, or upset, her little fingers would cling to his clothing, and she would tuck herself to his back. It took almost until she was five turns for her to spend more than an hour away from him. After all, they came to the weyr together. Why would she want to be around anyone but the people she knew? After the initial shyness wore off, she began to make friends, and got accepted in to the fold of the High Reaches Weyrbrats.

As she grew, she would follow her brother's lead and make friends with some of the Weyrsingers. Her own voice was always pretty, clear and sweet, and she took to learning the craft with absolute wonder. She loved to sing, and took to string instruments as well. She became apprenticed under a Harper around her 10th turn, and took to it like a fish to water. The thought of LEAVING to go to Harpercraft hall, though...to leave and miss her brother, her mother, and her chance to Impress? Those did not appeal to her in the least. She is overly attached to her family, and will not leave them for ANYTHING. This did not stop her from learning at the Weyr.

She sang and danced, enjoying the movement and life that came from it, and becoming rather attached to the thought of being a Harper...and then, when she got to stand for a Clutch. Watching the little dragonets, she found herself completely stunned and in awe. Watching people Impress, and being there on the sands, she decided right there and then that she would want to be a Rider herself. Why not? It would be such a delightful change.

The Thread's return marked her fearful, but determined. The least she could do was try to impress, to help the Weyr and it's people as best she...

Okay, so she wants to become a Rider to help keep her family safe, is that so bad? Her devotion means that there is little room for much else. She may flirt, and play with some of the local boys and girls, but the thought of commitment is nearly laughable to her right now.
