Rank: Apprentice
Location: Western Weyr
Physical Description: Astriana stands at 5'8 and weighs about 115 lbs. She has whitish-blonde hair that is usually up in a pony-tail or going down her back in a cascade of curls. She has ice blue eyes and if it wasn't for the scowl usually etched on her lips, she would be considered a real beauty. She wears very simple clothing, not liking to draw a lot of attention to herself. Her skin is very white, as if she had porcelain skin. She has a fit body, since she has to be prepared for anything with the beasts she works with.
Personality: Astriana is very protective of her family and those she deems worthy of her loyalty, just like her twin brother, Daimon is. If she feels any of those close to her is in danger, she will do what she can to keep them safe. She wants the best for them and will do everything in her power to make sure they get it. For any outside her circle, expect to get some very cutting and insulting words from her. It isn't rare for you to hear such things as "You are such a dimglow, do you not know what you are doing?" or "I could do better than you with my eyes closed or asleep." She does not tolerate people who have proven themselves incapable of what she deems simple things or bullies. She is very blunt and is one who will call it how she sees it, she doesn't pull punches. If there is someone she doesn't like, she is quick at pointing out their flaws and giving them a hard time. Her harsh attitude towards most people is probably why it takes time for her to make friends.
Astriana is seen as very cold and doesn't seem to express most emotions, at least to most people. However, for those she is close to, she can be a very warm and loyal. Even when out in public, for those who are dear to her, they can see signs of how she is really feeling. It could be as simple as a twinkle in her eyes or a look of fear, but those close will always be able to pick up the subtle hints of her emotions. It takes awhile for people to get through her defenses, since she feels a need for people to prove themselves to her. She has trouble trusting people, for fear that they will hurt her or abandon her. When someone does hurt her or betray her trust, she holds onto that pain internally for quite awhile. It takes her a long time to forgive those who have hurt her or those she cares about. However, her brothers and uncle always have her loyalty, all three of them are too dear to her for that to ever change.
She is very confident when she is in her element, not hesitating or second guessing herself. She is not afraid of doing the hard work she needs to get the job done. This confidence is seen the most when she is working with all the creatures she does, since she is very gifted in this area. Nothing, except maybe her family and close friends, gives her such a pleasure as when she is around them. It gives her a thrill to help teach them everything they are capable of learning and coming up with new ways for them to be useful. She believes sometimes it just takes a little hard work and creativity to find new ways they can help their Weyr. She is also very respectful to those of higher ranks, as long as she feels they have earned their titles. She treats the beasts she works with like family, feeling able to let down her guard down around them. For whatever reason, she gets along better with creatures than she does with most humans. In her mind, they do not have to prove themselves, they are perfect to her.
Positive Trait List Protective, loyal, confident, respectful
Negative Trait List Insulting, blunt, cold, Distrustful
History: Astriana was born as one of a set of twins, the younger one by a few minutes. Astri doesn't remember much about her parents, since they usually didn't have much time for her and her brothers. When her and Daimon were about ten turns old, a sickness swept through their home and took their parents from them. It also caused their younger brother, Rowan, to go blind, which had been very hard on all of them. This caused the three kids to become very close, they would look out for one another. Luckily, an uncle of their's who was a rider in Western Weyr took them in. He seemed to be pretty gruff, but the trio would soon learn that he was a big teddy bear around them. Astri has always looked up to her uncle, he was a role model to her.
Once the children had settled in, both of the twins had decided to follow their passions into crafts that interested them. Astriana had a love for creatures of every kind, so decided beastcraft was perfect for her. Also, since she knew her little brother would need help getting around, she began to train firelizards to help those with disabilities. This was probably her favorite thing to do, knowing she would be helping Rowan and those like him. She knew it would take time to train them, but she was alright with it.
When she was old enough to become a candidate, she signed up, wanting to have a dragon of her very own. She was glad when her brother decided to join her, it meant that they could stand together. For the first few years, both of the twins did not seem to have any luck. That didn't deter Astri, she knew she would find her bondmate, she just had to be patient and trust the baby dragons. When they turned seventeen turns, things changed as her brother bonded to a green hatchling. She was happy for him, but she couldn't say she wasn't jealous of him impressing without her. However, he was her twin and she supported him and his dragon. She kept in contact with him when she could, but continued to balance her candidate chores and her beastcraft work. She is determined to join her brother in the ranks of riders, feeling she is surely worthy of such an honor. She also helps Rowan find something that he can do, knowing his handicap prevents him from being a rider.
