Deceased: Died in Selenitas Earthquake Plot
Humans:
Name: Manna
Age: Nineteen Turns
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Rank: Candidate
Physical Appearance: Arabic descent (from Turns and Turns ago) obviously played a large role in how Manna appears. Her skin is evenly dark and rich colored, while her hair falls in long, dark ringlets down her back, stopping just beneath her shoulderblades. She is of an average height, while her build tends to lean towards 'plump'. Her eyes are a rich brown color, much like klah, and always seem to be loaded with happiness. Manna seems to exude this happiness and constant cheerfulness. In terms of clothing, she tends to wear bright colors, and very light clothes to keep away the heat. While she is not beautiful, Manna always has a broad smile on her face, revealing surprisingly white and even teeth, and some are attracted to such a positive person.
Personality: Manna is a determined optimist. Some would attribute this to the fact that she's not as intelligent as some, but Manna considers it just her nature. Though not very brave, Manna is a people person, and will do her best to make others feel better through encouraging words. Her own self-confidence lacks, but that is a secret Manna would never reveal.
Naturally kind hearted, Manna is the first to comfort an injured child, or try her hand at comforting injured animals. Sheer belief that nothing would ever hurt her has lead to some accidents, but Manna simply refuses to let such memories put her down. 'Everything will always get better' is her personal saying, and she can be heard saying it many times a day.
She has no ambitions to rise to a higher position in the Weyr- Manna is happiest when someone else can take charge, and she obeys orders cheerfully (unless they seem somehow wrong to her- then she'll question).
In terms of men, Manna feels awkward around them, especially if they are attractive. She tends to prefer her own gender to make friends with, though there is no question that she would rather be in a relationship with a man. Riders, especially those of high rank, intimidate her.
History: Manna's father and mother married at sixteen Turns, a young age even for the Pernese. Ten months later, Manna brought her way in the world, screaming and crying and letting everyone know she was very displeased to have left the womb. Her father slowly became a miner of little skill- he made enough to support the family of three, but no more. Manna's mother never managed to give birth to any other children, causing much grief.
At the age of ten, Manna decided she wanted to become a Healer, and her parents sent her on her way to earn an apprenticeship and start a career. After only one Turn, Manna quickly discovered that she did not have the stomach for Healing- blood made her shake, and sometimes faint. Unsure what to do, Manna stayed in the Hold, and soon became the Headwoman's apprentice, a job she was content to do. At the age of 13, she decided she would become a cook for the Hold, a job in which she rose quickly and became skilled at.
The day she was Searched, Manna was infinitely surprised. Who knows what awaits her at the Weyr?
