Physical Description: A shrub of deep wine-red hair serves as the crown atop this 6'0" statue of man-woman-person. Legs for days and hips that won't quit, and a surprisingly lithe build for someone who spends their entire life cooking and eating. They move with rhythm and flow constantly, gliding about their culinary domain near the heart of Rivercrest, dancing through life one slinky step at a time. Moss-green eyes alive with the light of life, and darker freckles over tanned skin, their whole appearance speaks to life lived enjoyably, but the lack of scars or callouses is a clear sign that that fun life hasn't been especially dangerous or adventurous.
Personality: A zest for life means zesty food, if you ask Meztli, and they are here to make your life just a bit tastier! Beyond happy to light up an evening with their creations (and their own wonderful self!), they are that friend who is always telling you to 'treat yo self!' and encouraging just a bit more fun, a bit more enjoyment. A fine eye for quality and detail, and a creative bent that can't be beat, they've got a fabulous flavor palate and in terms of creation are as bold as it gets, always reaching and striving and growing.
On the flip side, always hunting for the next big thing means that they're very prone to abandoning anything more than a minute old. As firm in their disregard as they are in their enthusiasm, they can definitely bring the pain with harsh criticisms and a sense of almost haughty superiority (at least when it comes to the cooking arts!) While most of their work is high-quality enough to pass muster even when abandoned, the truth is that they're all too apt to jump from project to project just because something new's caught their eye. And the trouble with treating yourself, of course, is that sometimes it gets hard to stop. They're a wild spender, and thankfully have the skills to support their rather lavish tastes, but they lack the distinction to realize that some of the people they encourage are not so lucky.
Pros: Entertainer, artistic, creative, vivacious.
Cons: Fickle, judgmental, proud, indulgent.
History: Born in Black Sands, Meztli moved to Rivercrest as a child when they were fostered by a prominent cook. Raised by the man and his mate, they grew up surrounded by love, and in their household, that meant food. They were never allowed to reject a new dish without trying a few bites first, and developed a ranging and excitable palate from the effort. Obviously they were bound for a life in the culinary arts, and they thrived under the tutelage of their fathers over the turns. Switching gears from chef to artist was something that came about as they entered their late teens, and they've yet to look back since.
Days filled with crafting delicate and glamorous, but always edible and delicious food-art made them a staple of the tropical vacation-y hold, as well as giving them mild notoriety in other nearby locales. Eventually of course the day happened that they'd used almost every ingredient locally available, and the time came for them to leverage their skills into a new post, this time at Western Weyr. They have a goal of cooking all over Pern before returning, more learned and seasoned (ha!) to Rivercrest.
Other: Specializes in using local-grown/caught foodstuffs to create fancy desserts for tourists. Has a tendency to dance/sing while cooking. Those hips do not lie.
Candidate Specific Questions
Do you want them to have an official Search RP? Sure, if someone wants to do it!
Do you understand they will age every passing year regardless if you're there to RP the or not? Of course.
Do you want them to have a possible Stands Impression? I don't think that'd be the setup with this one.
