[Candidate] Keto of High Reaches Weyr

[Andranis]

Name: Keto
Age: 10 Turns
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: No idea, she's, like, 10. What is attraction?
Craft: N/A - Kitchen staff? Cook?
Rank: Candidate
Location: High Reaches Weyr
Physical Description: - Still growing, but presently 4'11"
- Dark brown, nearly black hair
- Bright blue eyes
- If one squints at her, and knows Jacomus, they might swear she has a passing resemblance to a certain untrustworthy pirate
- Likes to dress colorfully
Personality: Loud and very present, Keto seems to be everywhere. One of her goals in life has been, up to this point, to try and help everybody she can. To put it mildly, she's a jack of all trades, but very much the master of none, except, perhaps, getting in the way.
Positive Trait List Resourceful, helpful, confident
Negative Trait List Loud, brash, frequently under foot
History: Keto has no idea who her father is, only her mother - One of the women who cook in the kitchens of the Weyr. Most of her time in the Weyr up to now has been helping her mother in the kitchen where she can, mostly washing and peeling vegetables and fetching water. When she wasn't there, she was off helping others, doing anything she could around the Weyr. It was while she was watching the young dragons at play one day that one of the senior riders, K'san, suggested to her she should try Standing for Impression once she was old enough. She's been eager to do so ever since, as it will offer another way to help others by protecting the Weyr and all Holds that look to it from Thread.
Other: Her sire is 100% Jacomus, but only time will tell just how much like him she is (Probably not at all, past a passing resemblance)

Candidate Specific Questions
Do you want them to have an official Search RP? No - She grew up at HR!
Do you understand they will age every passing year regardless if you're there to RP the or not? Yes
Do you want them to have a possible Stands Impression? No - If she ages out, then she ages out and she'll be happy to continue helping around the Weyr instead.

Hey Andranis,

You've got a start but there are a few things that need fixed, and some areas that need more development.

To start, Keto can't be a Candidate at 10 Turns old. While I understand in the books there are some very young ones, we bumped it up in EoP. If you want her to be a Candidate her age will have to be bumped up, sorry!

Candidates:
The age limits for Candidates are 14 to 26 at High Reaches, but extend up to 30 turns for Western.

Additionally, if she grew up at the Weyr, then she doesn't need to be searched. All Weyrbred children automatically are given the right to stand for clutches provided they are of age. In this shop, at Turn 14 they are able to become a Candidate automatically so long as they choose to do so. So Keto would already know that she has the right when she comes of age.

Her Personality is going to need a bit more work. Whether she's a Candidate or not, it is very brief. You should try to go into some detail concerning her positive and negative traits -- how is she resourceful at this age? How confident is she and how is it displayed? Does her loudness get her into trouble? Or her brashness? What about her being underfoot? She's going to need a well developed personality if you wish her to be a Candidate -- we find it harder to match dragons with personalities that are brief or vague. But even if she's not a Candidate yet, I'd still encourage more detail.

At 10 Turns she would be encouraged to think about a craft. While it's known she'll become a Candidate at 14, if she wants to be, there is no guaranteed Impression. Everyone needs to earn marks somedays, so I'm sure her Foster Mother might be asking Keto if there's a craft she's interested in specifically, or if she is the sort who would prefer doing more general kitchen and weyr work. Just things to think about to flesh out her history.
