Character Name: Elkie
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Preference: Bisexual
Previous Position: Dancer
Current Position: Candidate
Appearance: Elkie is fairly wraith-like in skin tone; she is very pale with straight, thin, jet-black hair that reaches her shoulders. Her hair is normally always in a ponytail clipped to her head in a strange type of bun, but the pulled back hair reveals her relatively small ears. Her eyes are a very bright blue, framed by thin eyebrows and long eyelashes. Her nose is fairly long, but not large.
She stands not overly tall, but still tall enough to move beyond the “average” height. Her arms are very fit, but still disguise how strong her arms really are. Her fingers are calloused and rough, but she does nothing to try and avoid that. She has very few curves, but it works to her advantage in her career path.
Personality: Elkie is kind, but slightly eccentric. Other members of her troupe have described her as “so nice, but kind of strange.” Others have commented that all the air from aerial dancing has gone to her brain, but that is not the case. She comes off as distant to some people, leaving some questioning if she even truly likes them.
She is also known for her odd remarks about things. Similes, puns, and hyperboles are spouted from her mouth at various times, used sometimes to help people learn when she tries to teach them how to dance.
Elkie is quiet about her aerial dancing- some people wouldn’t even know if they haven’t seen her practice or perform. She comes off as your average dancer until the trapeze, which gives only shows how modest she is about dancing.
History: Elkie was born to a drudge at small Hold, with a fisherman who had found her mother, an old flame of his, as her father, where she stayed and prepped for drudge life. She was obedient, if slightly energetic. Born with plain looks, Elkie was a child who was often left in the shadows, or forgotten to have existed by most people who met her.
At a young age, she became exposed to dancing. Picking it up by watching from the sidelines, she soon made a name for herself among the lower class in the Hold as being a miraculous young dancer.
When she was about 9, she met performers at a local gather. They performed acrobatic stunts so incredible that Elkie immediately decided that that was what she wanted to do. Begging both the troupe and her mother, she began to learn the ropes. Her specialty became the trapeze, where she performed aerial dancing as her specialty. Though the troupe only came for gathers, she set up her own trapeze, with assistance from another aerial dancer and her mother, and performed solo at gathers with the troupe.
Seeing her daughter had the potential to be absolutely incredible, her mother consented by letting her join the troupe at age 11. Absolutely ecstatic, she joined up with them right away, and also began learning other styles of dance in addition to the styles she already knew and aerial dancing.
At 16, she still loves the trapeze, but she is eager to try new things. Seeing the dragons suddenly in the sky, she was struck with an idea: Why limit herself to the trapeze when you can actually drop through the air and get caught by a dragon? This idea of "dragon dancing" totally consumed her, and through catching the eye of a Searchrider at a gather, she may have a chance to bring that dream into reality.
Position in Family: Only child, unless her father had more kids
