Kinye's personality has changed *drastically* from how I wrote her over this last year, so a proper revision is in order.
Link to Original ProfileChanges - Entire personality has been rewritten. Addition of the last year to her history.
Name: Kinyegele "Kinye"
Age: 16 (aged up from original profile)
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Still discovering this
Craft: Harper - Artist
Rank: Apprentice
Location: High Reaches
Physical Description: Kinye is a simple looking girl with a round face and perhaps more of her baby fat than she'd like to admit she's retained. She has dirty blonde-brown hair worn in a braid and large eyes that just compound her look of innocence. She has slightly crooked teeth.
Personality: Kinyegele has seen the bad in people and it's consequences - what it does to baby dragons, what it makes baby dragons do to them, how this hurts everybody, and she has decided that she is going to be a little ray of sunshine if it
kills her. She refuses to let the badness a person could possess be what she sees of them first, she refuses to think ill of others unless it has been earned, she
refuses to add any more dark thoughts to the Weyr. Despite how her kindness will be challenged and perhaps even
forced, if she must, the odds have not made a dent in Kinyegele's naturally cheery demeanor. Even though the path towards looking on the bright side is paved with negative people and bad times, Kinyegele can always be caught with a smile and a good attitude.
With adulthood creeping in and the weight of her future really starting to settle down onto her shoulders, Kinye is fertile soil for the conflict and worry that pull at everything she does. Her heart worries constantly that her motivations aren't the
right ones or they somehow aren't
enough or that perhaps someone soft and sensitive like herself is just
bad material for a dragonrider. That more than the love she has to give is needed. It is both the shovel that digs her through the hard times as she tries to find her place - a spot that is firmly Kinye shaped that only she can fill - and that buries her with the worries she digs up.
Her desire to outpour goodness mixed with her desire to find a proper place to be and topped off with a natural innocence she simply hasn't grown out of makes her a prime target for those who would want to take advantage of her. Whether it is for chores, or to try and see how far into trouble they could possibly get her, she will put full trust in the intentions of others long before she doubts them. This same natural innocence is a beacon for those looking for a cause to protect that could gather the sort of company that would keep her
out of trouble, however. Or, perhaps, her brand of goodness could be the light that those muddled in the dark need to find themselves.
Positive Trait List Kind, Cheery, Determined, Trusting, Innocent

History: One of the youngest children of a pair of High Reaches riders, Kinye has lived a fairly unremarkable but well-loved life. Barely 4 when her eldest sister impressed she barely has any memories of Ashlyn where she didn't just have her blue and just accepted Gyafrith as a part of her in the same way that her parents' dragons were a part of them. Dragons were simply a part of people's lives and it was only as she got older that she began to realize that there was more than simply
waiting that made people upset after not impressing - but that some people simply after waiting so long, went on to be a single being not attached to a dragon.
It was perhaps this revelation that made Kinye seek out some other way to further herself and trekking on after her older sister, Demanthra, sought out the arts. However, unlike Ashlyn she didn't have a melodious voice and unlike Demanthra, she had no talent with an instrument or writing songs. Instead, Kinye found that she had an eye for things - finding and holding onto lost things, but also for capturing things with even a piece of charcoal and paper. While not yet old enough to be trusted with more difficult mediums by the other artists who visit High Reaches, Kinye took to drawing like a dragon to flying.
Knowing how strongly Demanthra wanted a dragon of her own, Kinye chose to stay off of the sands to keep from 'competing' with her older sister until she impressed safely. Since that has come to pass, Kinyegele has stood twice - once on a beach with a clutch that seemed so precious and sweet and definitely put her guard down and the second the most recent Double Clutch that....was a rollercoaster of emotions. Having already had a seed of doubt planted in her after the Tea Clutch, the Double Clutch planted something else in her.
A need to push herself to something more - or if she can't be that, to move on.
Other: Kinye has an eye for likenesses so her uh...questionable drawings are unmistakable in who they are meant to be. Whoops.
