Wrathful Shapeshifter

Name: Odellet nicknames Od/ Lete
Age: 24
Nameday: 3557.7.11
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Demi Gray
Craft: Con artistry
Rank: Still kicking so decent
Location: Western Weyr

Physical Description: Small, colorful, and unlady like, Od is a tiny thing barely at five foot. With warm olive skin blemished with faded pox marks and tumbling black hair she is common holder stock. She undershaves her hair, making it lighter and keeps it tied up in bright color scarves out of her face and way. Her ears are pierced three up the lobes, and her targus. Her full lower lip has two piercings in the middle and two at the corner. Her tongue is pierced with a single stud. Her belly button is pierced upper and lower. She is tattooed from behind her ears and trailing down to the hollow of her throat. Underneath her breasts and up towards her arm pits. Her shoulders, both hands, and feet. She wears light clothing, shorne short trousers and cut short tops. She has a scattering of beauty marks, two by her left eye and one close to the edge of her jaw. She has an underbite, warm downturn hazel eyes and thick lashes.

Personality: Odellet talks a good talk, she has a confident, flirty and charming manner and most of it is an act, luring her mark into a game of chance they can't win or selling some piece of trash for much more then it is worth. She'll smile and flirt a little side eye look, tolerate an unwanted touch, but she ultimately ins't interested and just trying to get a deal done. Most of it to support her piercing and tattoo habit.

The thing is all her social skills is an act, leaving her tired and seeking solace alone. To stretch out in the wilds under a canopy of stars and skies and just rest to the wilderness noises around her. And to find some quick meal in the bounty of the wilderness. She travels and it is less a want and more a need to make sure she never in a place too long, never long enough to be around for a possible fall out.

Od lives in the moment, with no true plans. She moves from place to place, no relationships, no family, just herself and her flits and the roads. She has no roots and lacks the idea of nourishing any sort of long term goal. She unattached to objects and places, and unattached to time, the days just a blurred sense of what little changes of the seasons Western has.

Odellet does not save up, her resources are used nearly as soon as she receives them. She constantly moves forward, trips unplanned and doesn't consider when she has to stop until forced to and then throws up camp where ever she can.

She a smug thing, self assured in her skills and abilities. She has lost a sense of wonder over the turns not satisfied with just watching a show but focused on any illusion and trying to puzzle out how it works. She has quick and clever mind, bits and pieces connect in a sort of clarity to revel an idea, an image and she throws herself forward into seeing if it will work as well as it does in her mind.

Od does love deeply. She loved her father and she loves her flits. She hero worshiped him when he lived, he could do nothing wrong. He was also the one constant in he life until the flits. She was always moving away before she really could get close to any of the holder kids and later people were mostly marks to gain something from to keep living the way she always knew.

Positive Trait List Confident, Intelligent, adaptable,

Negative Trait List Smug, impulsive, indifferent

History: Od has been on the road since she was a small child, trailing her snake oil selling con man of a father. She can't really remember her mother, and she's accepted that it is likely her mother wised up and left. She okay with that. Some people are meant to put down roots. Some people prefer to drift like seed pods.

She learned a lot from her father, how to rig games of chance, how to make a loaded dice, how to count cards and second hand deal and sleight of hand tricks, making coins and small items appear and disappear and misdirection. She never truly considered the mess they left behind, or possible lives ruined in their wake, instead finding a thrill in pulling one over those larger, order, higher rank then her.

Things were never great but good enough. She grew and helped out her father in his work. She learned what was edible in the forest and how to lay a trap to catch small creatures and how to prepare them to eat them.

When she was eight and they were at the coast line she explored and found the remaining eggs of a fire lizard nest and took them with her, giving her two flits, Rest and Test. The two greens were sweet and great companions to her, sometimes her only ones as they traveled from hold to hold.

A pox plague took her father's life when she was 18 and left her skin marked with the memory and she buried him and mourned. She left strips of his clothes tied to the tallest branches of the trees she could reach as she walked, leaving memories and all pieces of him behind till she no longer had anything of his left.

She continued doing what she had been doing for the last six or so turns and it wasn't till the most recent flight and clutching that she was approached by a rider. Interested in something new and perhaps a bit enamored by how gorgeous the dragon was and the idea of just traveling just momentarily blinking back and forth and just the sky. She wanted that... she wanted perhaps a bit more then doing what she had been doing. (not that she would ever admit it out loud) It would be dangerous but life is and always was dangerous. She might not have been thread marked but she manged to cheat the death of pox and well flying ... flying would be worth anything. Even if most of the time they fought thread and she ended up more scarred then she already was.

She really at least wanted to be on the sands just once to see a hatchling up close.

Can you tweak her name to be a bit more Pernese? Odette is a very recognizable Terran name.

Also, although I like her as a character, I think she needs a bit more fleshing out. Right now her positive traits are really geared around survival, but what would she do if she were in a more stable situation? Is she, for example, capable of making friends or deeper bonds?

This is going to be really important if she's to Impress a dragon.

How long did she live in the jungle on her own?

Even with the revisions you've made, the Weyr has literally already dealt with bringing in wild children before and is not open to the idea. The Weyr is not equipped to take in and rehabilitate traumatized, lost children like this.

For her to be a viable Candidate with the tightening up of standards that has recently gone into place, she would need to be further along than she is. She's also an adult and honestly doesn't read like one at all.

Hello Shadda! Got a few things here for you:

You'll have to rename one of her flits. Flits and whers aren't allowed to have names ending with "th" out of respect for the dragons, and also Path is the name of a well-known dragon from the books.

Am I right in guessing that she was 18 or so when her father died? If so, it might be a good idea to say so in there so there's no confusion.

Regarding her Search -- at this time, they're being VERY selective about who they bring into Candidacy. I honestly don't think an impulse decision would fly, unless she already knows what being a dragonrider means and her impulses are that strong that she doesn't care? She would be told what she'd be getting into, a life of being strictly monitored, restricted, ordered around, and potentially getting killed on the sands or while fighting Thread if she does Impress. She won't be able to leave the Weyr as long as she's a candidate. There won't be any camping trips, hunting trips or other visits into the wild. Just want to make sure it's all understood, because if she can't accept or handle that, she will be "fired" from Candidacy pretty fast.

I completely forgot about Path being a dragon! I think I addressed them all for you! Thank you for the quick review.
