Physical Description:
Everything about Ismay is soft. She's fairly short at 5'2" and has a pleasant plumpness to her figure befitting her craft, and has tawny skin, black hair, and warm brown eyes.
Personality:
Outwardly, Ismay is all warmth and smiles, but it's a very thin veneer over melancholy and heartache. She is a shadow of the person she was before she lost her love, pretending she's coping better with the grief than she actually is. But though it's been nearly two Turns, she's still floundering, and struggles to find any genuine happiness or form new bonds. Even old friendships have mostly stagnated, for while she still cares for her friends, she has walled herself off and cannot be honest about how she's really feeling: she is fine, of course, doesn't she look fine? She's fine.
She now hinges her existence and worth solely on her job, and is unerringly focused and precise in her tasks. She may just be existing day to day instead of on any meaningful level, but she still does her work and does it well. She does still have pride in what she does, and derives what purpose she does have from providing for people, particularly riders. They risk everything for the sake of everyone else, and at the very least they deserve a good meal and comforting treats. That being said, she's currently very unlikely to develop anything more than the most casual, superficial of relationships, friendship or otherwise, with any riders. What's the point? Even if she were ready to open up again, why open herself up to someone she'll almost certainly lose?
Still, though she does her best to protect herself from further heartache by putting up walls, at heart she does still love people, and she very much still cares and would do almost anything if someone needed her - she just tries to care from a distance so that maybe it won't hurt quite as much when someone is lost. But it is lonely, and no healthy way to live; perhaps in time she will try again, but for now, she's just not ready.
Positive Trait List focused, hardworking, soft-hearted
Negative Trait List melancholy, distant, fatalistic
History:
The first child born to a Baker and a Guard in Tillek, Ismay remained the only child well into her teens, and was doted on accordingly, although never quite crossed the line into spoiled. She had an uneventful, idyllic childhood, and didn't hesitate to become a Baker like her mother. Not long after she became a Journeyman at 18, she met an unaffiliated bluerider who came to buy sweetrolls...and kept coming back for more sweetrolls and to court Ismay. Within a Turn, they were married. Ismay and Z'shaei were absolutely smitten with each other, and looking forward to a blissful life and a family together. And then Thread returned.
Z'shaei and Ulimeth felt duty-bound to return to High Reaches, and Ismay of course went as well, and was given work in the Kitchens. In all the upheaval and worry, however, they at least had each other, and they soon settled into their new reality. They even decided to start a family with the help of a friend, but Ismay miscarried, and before they could try again, the worst happened: Z'shaei and Ulimeth fell to Thread. Ismay was heartbroken, and still is, but though she considered returning to Tillek and her family there, she ultimately chose to stay on at the Weyr. Though it is full of painful reminders, she still wants to help in whatever small way she can, which in her case means helping to keep everyone well-fed. It's not much, but it's something, and she clings tightly to that small purpose.
