Went *poof* In Disappearance plot
Humans:
Name: Kalia
Age: Sixteen
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Rank: Junior Weyrling
Physical Appearance:
Kalia doesn't really fit into any of the typical female stereotypes, she's not at one end of a false scale but rather in the middle. Far from delicate and fragile in appearance, Kalia is also far from overly muscular or tomboyish in body build. Rather, her build is simillar to that of a dancer's, slim, slender but not skinny. Instead she has enough bulk to ensure she looks perfectly healthy and with subtle muscle roped throughout her frame that speaks of a fit and active person. While not overly tall, Kalia stands at a level five feet and six inches (5'6") perfectly average for a female.
Though naturally pale, Kalia's skin does have a tendency to tan rather than burn on the occasion it doesn't peel. Spending a lot of her time outdoors as she does, Kalia's naturally pale skin is often tanned very lightly, not enough to be obviously browned, but enough that the Rukbat's rays do not have the tendency to harm as much as warm. Kalia's hair is dark, enough so that it's impossible to draw the line between black and dark brown. Best described as 'long', Kalia's hair is cut so that the ends just reach her mid-rib section, but is often tied back in an easily done and un-done half runner-tail like style, this is mainly due tot he fact that it is ill-behaved and when put up in any manner of style, usually manages to worm it's way out again.
Kalia's facial features are very strong, almost mimicking the person beneath. While still having a feminine appearance, Kalia is not overly stunning. Striking, attractive, and with her own charms, certainly, but not stunning. Kalia's eyes are a deep coloured blue, like the ocean in the area's when the water is clear, she is always smiling and laughing and this is one of Kalia's greater charms.
Personality: Kalia is generally a very bright and happy person, she enjoys socialising and being around others, and is rarely bad tempered. Charaismatic, Kalia tends to fit into many places, easily finding a place for herself even in the most diverse of situations and people. While a bright and friendly person, Kalia is blunt, she's not about to cushion the blow simply because that will be met with a smile rather than a frown, rather, will give her interpretation and leave it as that. However, though blunt, she is not cruel with her truth or brutal and if she feels something is best left unsaid, will leave it so.
Stubborness is one of her main traits, but then so is decisiveness and ambition. She'll often dig her heels in and refuse to change her mind or course of action if she thinks it's important, but on the flip side is quick to make those decisions, thinking them through as quickly as possible and following through. Always aiming to be at her best, Kalia certainly tries her hardest in everythign she does, whether that be chores, lessons or just fun and games. These are some her best traits, but along with that comes the bad traits often paired with them. Once Kalia's made her decision, she won't go back on it, choosing to stick with a decision and remain strong rather than going back and seeming fickle, and it can be hard to convince her that something is wrong due to her tendency to be rather stubborn about her beliefs.
Though without an overly explosive temper, Kalia can certainly be intimidating, he sheer force of personality doing more harm than good. It's not uncommon for her to accidently put someone behind her if she believes they will slow her down in a task and is not above leaving a friend for a more qualified partner in any sort of chore or job. Most of the time, Kalia will go with her first thought on a course of action, and while following it through, thinking about alternatives so that if a better opportunity comes along, she can grasp it with both hands and take advantage of the opportunity.
History: Kalia was born in the North, perhaps unluckily, but as a child, she never noticed there was much difference. Like most weyr bred children, she was the result of a flight, and like most weyr children, she was raised by a foster mother. However, she kept contact with her mother, seeing her often if not everyday. Kalia was only four when the wars started, so she doesn't remember much about what changed, or how different things were after they began, all that Kalia remembers is being a fairly normal weyrchild. Smart, resourceful and determined from a young age, Kalia wasn't one to let the normal childish bullying stop her from achieving what she wanted out of life, never stopped her from trying her best, and this is possibly what helped her in Fort Weyr.
Despite the turmoil surrounding the weyrs as she grew up, Kalia never knew any different. She had friends, she had those that she disliked, she learnt lessons, she did chores. Just like any other child and to her, Fort was right. Bended seemed like a horrid, evil place and she'd never hoped to go there. Despite the war though, Kalia had one dream that she was determined to get to, and that was to be a dragonrider just like her mother. Sure it would mean intense training, and possibly death, but what better life could there be but to fight constantly for your home, for what you believed in?
The moment she was old enough to stand, Kalia became a candidate, aiming for the same hopes her mother had. Her mother had Impressed, so why shouldn't she? The turns went by, but nothing. Kalia didn't allow herself to get upset by it, attacking chores and lessons with the same amount of gutso as she had at the beginning.
With the death of Kamerai and D'loro, three turns ago, even Kalia knew things would change. They had at least been good weyrleaders, perhaps not the best one could hope for but certainly better than those that stepped up to take control of the weyr. The Weyrsecond, and as one goldrider fled, a weyrling to take the mantle of Senior Weyrwoman up. From there, Kalia knew things would be different, but she would never have thought her mother would consider leaving Fort. No matter the change, Kalia always thought of Fort as her home, always. Eventually though, the green rider did choose to leave, taking her daughter with her to Selenitas Weyr, a weyr that had fought of Benden, and survived it. While new, and exciting, at sixteen, Kalia wasn't quite sure how she fit into the weyr. Kalia is a new arrival at Selenitas.
Candidates Only
Name Contraction (Males Only):
Queen Only? (Females Only): No.
Desired Dragon Color: Not fussed.
Dragon, Wher, or both?: Dragon
Dragons/Whers/Fire Lizards/Salamandyrs:
Name: Huath
Color: Green
Age: Hatchling Dragon Green
Color Code: 155911
Appearance: This green is about average in size for her color, though she is without a doubt the smallest of those in her clutch. Her build is a bit on the bulkier side, though, perhaps to make up for her lack of stature, and she will always look a bit chunky in comparison with her clutchmates. Roly-poly, though, this green is not, for her mass is centered around her back, shoulders, and hindquarters and is nearly all muscle. Of course, if she is overfed and allowed to laze about, it is entirely possible that she could become nothing but a lump of green dragonflesh, but given the fact that she is rarely sitting still, that seems unlikely. Her wings are on the broader side but no longer than the average. She will need the extra surface area to get her larger body into the air.
Her coloring is not exceptionally striking, though it can not be called 'ugly'. Her hide is a very dark shade of green, the color of leaves in the darkest depths of the forest, and it is largely unmarked by variations, save for the darkening at the top of her head and on her toes, which are nearer to black than green. Her only other marking is a dozen or so scattered spots of the same dark green shade over the left side of her rump, spots that will probably be roughly the size of a fingertip when she is fully grown. Given the dark coloration on top of her head, she seems to perpetually give the impression of the dragon version of a scowl, and she probably seems quite intimidating in that respect.
Huath's movements are not quick or rushed on most occasions, despite the fact that she seems incapable of being completely still. Her movements are very coordinated, and she has good command of her limbs and knowing where all her body parts are in space. Expect her to be among the first in her class to be airborne. Since she can not (or perhaps, will not) move exceedingly quickly, she will never be the fastest of greens, and her extra bulk will make her less agile and graceful than her peers. She will, however, compensate for this with exceptionally steady and consistent flying ability, and what acrobatics she can master, she will master them flawlessly.
Personality: Dignified, ambitious, and charismatic... Huath could be a gold, if only she were larger and able to reproduce. Huath is a very noble creature and is always concerned with doing the right thing. What she does, she does very deliberately and with great dignity, and rarely will she stoop to a lower level. She does not resort to grudges or vendettas for the most part, probably because she believes herself to be in charge. Do not think that she mistakes herself for a gold, for she doesn't. She simply believes that she can dictate the way things run, and Hers and higher-ranking dragons will be hard-pressed to convince her that a green can not run the show.
One of Huath's greatest attributes is her self-confidence. She is intelligent and capable and is very sure of herself and her capabilities. Never can it be said that Huath is indecisive. She evaluates her options and then presses forward in with a passionate, single-minded focus to get the job done. She is clever enough to come up with new and radical ideas, and Faranth help you if you don't at least listen when she says it. She knows her ideas are usually good ones, and, luckily for her, her magnetic and charismatic personality makes it easy for her to snag others' attention to make herself heard. She will never be short on followers, even if they might be irritated with her egocentric and overbearing attitude at times.
For all her intelligence and charisma, Huath will always be something of an imperious and abrasive personality to those unaccustomed to her manner of looking at things. Huath will never be close to many creatures, though she will be friendly with many, and even Hers will probably be wondering why the little green has so much assurance in herself. Those who manage to adjust to her brashness and self-righteous way of looking at things will find themselves with a loyal and generous friend who will stop at nothing to make her beloveds happy. Huath is a very physical creature and will always be trying to cuddle with Hers and her friends. If she does choose to weyrmate, woe betide whatever male decides to be unfaithful; she will not forget such a crime against her.
