Name: Khatie please call her Khay (has been called Khate, mostly by her mother, though her father was more conservative with syllables and his name for her was usually just Khay)
If nicknames aren't usually used or this is needlessly complicated i'd go with Khay.
Age: 17
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Presumed straight, though can appreciate beauty of personality/mind especially in individuals of both genders.
Craft: She hasn't picked up an official secondary craft during her time at the Weyr, though she is quite helpful cleaning/tidying after events/unaccounted for messes in the barracks (or she'll stare mournfully for just a moment if the Candidatemaster demands that those responsible clean up the mess [they usually aren't all that capable of proper tidying] and then go on to perform other duties).
Perhaps, if some would prefer to spend marks rather than put in effort themselves, she may offer her cleaning/tidying services to those inclined?
Rank: Candidate
Location: High Reaches
Physical Description: Naturally tan skin that does freckle when she's out in the sun (Neutral undertones leaning towards warm [looks best against silver and deep jewel-toned hues] when deep-tanned, freckles appear deep brown and can barely be seen except along her nose)), below-shoulderblade -ength hair that's neither wavy nor straight but falls somewhere in between (new baby hairs can curl, but longer strands straighten as they grow) that is often swept up tidily into a half-braid half-ponytail (she can braid the top part in seconds, and it lessens the pressure on her temples by distributing the weight of the ponytail section of her hair so is practical for long stays), Warm brown eyes with a honey tint in the sun.
She stands about 5'6" and has a becoming body with a small waistline and form muscled by her regular activity (as most do). Her thigh muscles accentuate the natural curve of her hipline, and she has about a 32DD bust (usually kept modestly covered, but with a curve visible even when covered properly).
Personality:
She is a kind individual, as most are, though she has always had a knack for attempting to understand what one is going through and placing herself in their shoes, so to speak. She can empathize with most anyone, from the kindred souls to the rather harsh or less traditionally favorable characters. Although her instincts are good, she is not beyond being a little wrong at times- though that is mostly due to her own perception of events, and assumptions based on the expression or 'feel' of another being. She could never really hide her own thoughts and feelings, so when she was younger she could be fooled by the outward appearance of others, though around her 16th year she began to learn to trust that little gut instinct that said 'something's not right' when someone would greet her with a fake smile or an ill-intentioned facade. She was taught and is naturally inclined never to lie or deceive others, so it took her a little while to learn that others may be doing so regularly let alone with intention.
She tends to clean when stressed, ponderous, or really just about anytime she has time to spare. Though she would never neglect her duties to rush about after some mess, she tends to be perfectly on time for any lessons duties or required events (a habit which tends to make her rush about, and could put her at risk of being a little late if enough circumstance arises to block her path- she has the rhythm of her life down to a T, though she longs for the day when a certain scaly (or smooth?) someone may change her life forever).
Though her parents were well-off, they did not make light of goods and so she became rather industrious in her cleaning methods and can share a trick or two for those willing to learn.
She shares what she has, whether that be kindness and a caring ear or some physical good, and greatly enjoys being a part of a thriving (at times hectic?) community.
Positive Trait List
Impeccably Neat/Clean/Tidy, Honest, Caring, Prompt
Negative Trait List
Slightly judgmental about needlessly untidy persons, Glass Face (expression/emotion clearly shows on her face; though she's learned to hide it a little with age, strong emotion still leaks through), Soft-hearted (easily swayed by tales of woe or heartache, initially quite easily fooled though she is learning to trust her instincts above what others say).
History: She was raised by loving parents in an inn of sorts, where her tidy nature made her very useful. Though her parents did not take advantage of her, they finally gave up telling their daughter to go rest/relax while there was still work to be done (for they knew that all have their place, and moments of peace should be cherished whenever they may arise), and could appreciate her work ethic and hardy nature. She had no problem powering through an uneasy stomach to clean after even the messiest of patrons (though they may not be allowed back in by her parents next time), and developed a quick and efficient means of cleaning most messes by necessity (it's hard to clean when you're holding your breath, some sort of particle-filtering cloth tied about one's mouth can be stifling if you're engaged in vigorous movement, and there are still other things that must be done even after tidying).
She had a bright mind, and was ardent in her studies- almost as much so as in keeping a gleaming backdrop, for she learns best when everything around her is spotless.
She was found on Search while hanging out laundry, singing softly to herself and with the most blissful expression on her face. Laundry is one of her favorite chores, for things that were once filthy become shining and smell lovely, almost with ease (she doesn't mind some good scrubbing), and her good nature and kind heart seemed to shine from every pore.
At the time, she'd been cleaning the garments of a low-on-luck individual whom their parents had offered temporary stay to out of the goodness of their hearts. Though laundry service wasn't a ware normally offered, she had volunteered after seeing their dirtied garments.
Whether the dragon on Search sensed her kind heart or was drawn to the way she approached chores and duties with good-natured enthusiasm, she was offered the chance to become a Candidate at age 15.
She had always heard and admired the honor and nobility of those that fight the Thread, and keep others safe, (plus the idea of bonding with a dragon had always fascinated her), so she accepted and bid a fond farewell to her parents who would miss her but were immensely proud.
She has adjusted well to her life in the Candidate Barracks, and absorbed her early lessons with vigor.
Other: Though she understands an individual's situation and is a very empathetic soul, she tends to judge others slightly when they remain untidy for too long and all else is well with them; to her, cleanliness is something that should be attended to as soon as is reasonable given the other roles and responsibilities of the individual and needs of the community at large, and though she understands that sometimes certain professions may remain dirtier than others (livestock tending (?), some form of work in a metal forge, etc) or that an errand-running Blue rider may need to rest immediately rather than clean themselves up, they should still attend to basic tiding when able.
If things get messy enough, she has been known to (politely attempt to) say something to the individual in question, or offer tips/ways to get clean quicker if time is their issue.
Although everyone is required to be tidy if there is time, her standards for cleanliness may be a little higher than most and she may be slightly quicker to start becoming a little preoccupied with their person than those in authority might.
When she has one other being to care for above all others, this little quirk may fade, but she'll always have an eye for those who might need a few hints to boost their sanitary efforts.
Her lessons have started to die down as she's progressed in her candidacy, and as she finds herself with more chores and her mind more free she has a little more time to herself to clean for others and wonder about what life could be should she Impress.
Note about sexuality: Though she is 17, she's never really gone further than a shared gaze with anyone. She never really had the "time" (overwhelming interest enough to override her desire to learn or tidy things) for it back home, though she was certainly encouraged to follow her little prickles of interest by her parents, and she takes the no-pregnancy rule very seriously (perhaps to an extreme). She has no experience with desiring another above her desire for that special bond with a dragon, and would not jeopardize it for something she's not even all that sure is pleasurable.
If a Gold rises above the Hold, she cleans. And things get very spotless, then things that shouldn't shine start to try (since she always gets things extra clean, and though she doesn't associate it with sexual energy she does have a little extra oomph in her vigor).
Candidate Specific Questions
Do you want them to have an official Search RP? Yes ? I think it could be fun.
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 (going the more traditional official candidate route, though I do feel this would be an interesting scenario to play out with another character in the future).
