Intro post

Page 1 = Daesilena  
PostPosted: Fri Jun 09, 2017 7:19 am
Name: Daesilena
Age: 20 turns
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Hetero
Craft: N/A
Rank: Candidate
Location: High Reaches Weyr
Physical Description:
Daesilena would by no means call herself pretty, she’s never compared herself to anyone and beauty has had no impact on her whatsoever. Her long walnut hair can always be found in messy updos. If she’s going for a more relaxed look she will usually have it down in waves but keeps no bangs. Her eyes are long and catty, they are a pale almost silvery blue. Her eyebrows are a shade lighter than her hair, shaped up and then curving downwards where they are slimmer. Dae sports a very square jawline, however it by no means makes her seem less feminine. Her nose is small and girlish, it is slightly turned up. There is nothing that makes her mouth special or out of the ordinary, her lips are normal and proportioned.

Dae stands at an even five feet six inches. She has a small frame accompanied by long wiry limbs; her body is an inverted triangle meaning her shoulders are much wider than her hips. Her chest is of an average size, coupled with her little hips some could say that she would be unsuited to bare a child. Her skintone is a pale beige, paler than average. Daesilena does slouch, she almost curling on herself on purpose. It is difficult for her to look into people’s eyes. Her pace is slow, extremely slow to the point of annoying those she is around.

Her main color of choice is brown and creams.

Personality:
Daesilena is a quiet girl but she can and does succumb to stress like any other normal person. That doesn’t mean that she’ll throw a fit or ever voice those concerns of hers. No instead Daesilena will withdraw and close in on herself. She avoids confrontation like it’s a disease and you’ll never hear her fight back someone who isn’t so nice to her. Swearing and yelling are just not things associated with Daesilena and her mousey appearance. It frustrates people that she has no backbone and would rather shut herself off from the world than deal with her problems. The Weyr has been a great learning experience but also the root of all her stress.

Large groups of people not only intimidate but make Daesilena extremely uncomfortable. She is used to her small cothold, but now as a candidate surrounded by all these new people, introductions for her are very hard. Most of the time it’s read as her being antisocial, but she’s really just unable to make friends without a push from an outside force. Sometimes she’ll open up, but she definitely needs a friend to hold her hand and carry her through the whole exchange. Dae tries very hard to make herself the smallest in the group to avoid bringing any attention to herself. If it happens, you can bet she'll try to get out of it or run.

Keeping track of her parents’ customers, her parents work, the equipment and her parents’ supplies, has left Daesilena with a structured system of organization. She believes everything has a place and organizing is her activity of choice. Her mind is a working machine in this regard, she is able to time manage to the very second. If you ever have anything you need organized, you most definitely want to ask her. Keeping things in order is important to her because she feels her life has been turned upside down since coming to the Weyr and she is trying to grasp for some order. Back home everything had a place and if it didn’t then it wasn’t needed and had to be thrown out.

If there’s one thing that Daesilena hates, it’s confrontation and as such she’s willing to bend over backwards for her friends and family. She always goes out of her way to help them and even if she has a differing opinion, she will never voice it. She feels this will help her avoid physical and verbal fights with anyone. The only time you might hear her is if she is trying to mediate a conflict between friends and even then it’s only to make sure no one is fighting. She strives for peace and calm always. This has garnered her the reputation of letting others walk on her and people do push her around for never putting up a fight.

History:
The cothold Dae was born in was by no means the best place or easiest to raise any children, especially a cothold so isolated even from Crom Hold, it's closest association. Sileris, her father, was a miner who held a regular job and had never had any aspirations for a better life. He was simple and had never thought he’d ever find himself taking care of a wife, much less a child. However, when he found Daenat cold and hungry one night, barely managing to cling to life, he decided that he wanted to keep her around, perhaps it was loneliness maybe it was love but Sileris took the woman in without asking questions. Daenat never spoke a word, in fact she seemed to be resigned to life and threw herself into pottery making. Even when Daesilena was born, she would often times be left crying in her basket until her father came home to care for her and his wife. It was not the easiest upbringing, but this cothold was known for being rough around the edges.

When Dae was barely old enough to take of herself, her father left her to her own devices teaching her things if she needed it. Truly, looking back on it now, she was far more capable of taking care of herself than her mother. Her father always provided what they needed such as food and items but that was the extent of his help. Daesilena learned to organize and clean by the time she was eight, the home which had previously been dirty and messy was now kept tidy everyday by her. She had also taken up the mantle of caring for her mother, making sure she was always working on her pottery, selling her things for extra income when she could and making sure things were done on time.

By the time Daesilena hit her teens she was fully independent, taking care of her mother and keeping the family on track. They’d even managed to save enough to repair and buy new things for their home as Dae had started keeping track of incomes and how much they spent. The only thing she was truly lacking were friends, she found those her age far too childish or irresponsible and most of the time she would rather be at home taking care of things there. If it made her antisocial than so be it and in the end it did make her very socially awkward. No matter, Dae liked the small isolated hold and planned a better future for herself. She would pick up pottery as a trade and at some point find a miner to marry, have children and die happy. That was how she saw the world, how Daesilena truly thought she would spend the rest of her life and she had accepted her fate easily.

This whole vision of Daesilena’s world was shattered one evening not too long after her twentieth birthday. Because her cothold was an isolated place, rare was the sight of a dragon and it’s rider. In fact, Daesilena had never laid eyes on a dragon the few times they had come to the cothold, she’d always been busy. That evening however, she was returning home from some errands when the dragon landed, a great blue beast that turned to watch her and froze her in place. The rider stayed on the dragons back for some time, everyone frozen in that one instant. Next thing she knew the rider was walking towards her, she’d been Searched and they were going to bring her back to High Reaches Weyr. Daesilena at first didn’t want to go, she didn’t want to leave her family and this life she had accepted for herself. She knew nothing about the riders or the dragons, but something told her it would be rude to refuse. She went to tell her family that night, her mother was silent as usual, while her father clapped her on the shoulder and went about his usual business. This was the last time she ever saw or heard from her parents, High Reaches Weyr was her new home from now on.
Other: Not at this time!
