Character Name: Robika
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Preference: Females
Previous Position: Weyrbrat, Candidate, Weyrling Rider
Current Position: Greenrider/Searchrider
Appearance: Robika is around your average height, although she is rather stocky. She has generous curves, but has grown comfortable with them and her own looks. She is also very muscular, especially in her legs. Her shoulders are rather broad, but it suits her.
Robika’s face is rather pretty, but not beautiful. Her round is set with brown eyes over a small nose. Her lips are fairly large, but she likes them that way. She had shoulder-length blonde hair, rarely worn down. Insead, she wears pigtails pulled into little messy buns at the base of her head.
Personality: Robika is very bold, but good-hearted. If something isn’t going her way, she will be the first to inform you of that, and the best course of action to make it so. If not, she may start yelling. Even if someone is taller than her, which most people are, she will attack and maybe even intimidate said person. She has little patience for slow people, and she doesn’t hesitate to restrain herself about her anger and frustration. Her voice will get shrill and she’ll get really close, and usually look up at you to look you in the eye, then yell until you back down.
Don’t get her wrong- Robika is also very loving to the people she loves, and would fight anyone if they think they could do better than her to you. However, this kindness is normally hidden behind her tough exterior. She is also quite sensitive, and is constantly wanting not to know what it is her faults are, but why people don’t like them.
She can also be quite humorous. She likes funny things, and will make jokes just as fast as she would yell at a person. However, sometimes her jokes can seem like jokes, only she’ll turn around and maybe take it too far. Robika’s most famous instance of this is when she was talking about her homosexuality at the dinner table, and joked about kissing the wingsecond sitting next to her. She laughed heartily, as everyone else did, only to turn around and land him a wet one.
Robika is also pretty good at handling younger children, but she keeps this fact hidden by calling them “urchins” or “little guys.” However, she is willing to take care of babies, patch up a scrape on a weyrbrat, or be a listening ear to a teenager or adult.
History: Robika’s parents were a brownrider named R’lan and a greenrider named Kirika. Her parents were weyrmates, so she had a stable childhood. She stayed with her parents rather down at the Creche, with her older brothers Kirlan and Rinik. So she grew up rolling around in dirt with them, wanting to grow up to be just like them. She even included herself in their little dragonriding fantasies. Sometimes she played queenrider, but didn’t like how they came with so much responsibility. Instead, she put herself on colors like a green or blue, or sometimes a brown. She had loved her parents’ dragons so much, loving their lowliness and how care-free they were.
As she grew older, she insisted on doing more things with her mom, getting into girly things. She took a liking to clothes, and started paying closer attention to the blonde hair that she came to pride. But she didn’t desert her brothers, still hanging out with them whenever she could.
It was as she grew up, when they came to talking about which girls they found attractive, Robika found that she, too, felt that way. However, it was considered normal enough, so her brothers had no problem with it, and the trio found they could talk about who they liked and share those feelings with each other. It was good for Robika, who was still too scared to tell her parents.
When she was 12, Kirlan Impressed a blue dragon named Irlith, and became K’lan. Robika was amazed, and spent a lot of time with her brother, dying to have a dragon of her own. She and Rinik spent as much time with K’lan and Irlith as possible, helping him bathe and oil the blue whenever they had the time. Around this time, to make themselves feel better, the two Searched the beaches for days to Impress something of their own. Finding the flitter eggs in the sand, they each took one, which was all they could do, for the queen that was guarding the eggs was extremely unhappy with humans so close to her clutch. This left the kids with scrapes, and Robika with a scar on her arm that she bears still today, but they had their bounty.
After a couple weeks, the eggs finally hatched. Rinik’s hatched into a brown named Osi, while Robika’s hatched green. She named her little flitter Emanor.
At 15, Rinik and Robika decided to stand together at the small clutch the queen had laid. Rinik was among the first to Impress, a bronze named Lanrath. As the clutch grew smaller and smaller, Robika was running out of hope when finally, a green dragon approached her. The green made the lasting mark in her mind, saying, Robikamine, please feed your Kmarath- pleasplease, now? I am quite hungry… Robika was more than happy to oblige, joining her brother in the weyrling barracks.
When Kmarath’s first flight approached, Robika was about 17. She also had met another woman, named Janya, who rode a blue. Robika found herself falling for the other woman, and when she finally admitted it to Janya, she found that Janya shared those feelings. So when Kmarath rose, Janya’s blue caught her. This encouraged Robika to finally come out to her parents, who, surprisingly, reacted well. They didn’t seem to shocked, either, so Robika’s only fear was out, and she and Janya remained lovers for several Turns.
Unfortunately, it was not meant to be. Janya announced after those few Turns that she was feeling too "smothered," though both of them knew that Janya had had her eye on a new woman. Through many attempted negotiations on Robika's part, arguments, and tears from both sides, they ended their relationship and went off for themselves.
Years passed, and Robika drifted in and out of relationships, unable to find that special someone. There was just not really anyone she could connect with as she could with Janya. Though she has since tried, nothing has been work.
Her family had remained close-knit throughout this time, but Robika was getting restless. This Weyr wasn't as exciting as she had once dreamed. Though she remained close with her brothers and parents, but has grown increasingly independent.
This independence lead her to be the only one in her family to leap forward. She needed a change from her current life, wanting to be in a new world, wanting out of the life that was starting to become monotonous.
Since coming to Araelen, she had since Impressed gold flitter who she had named Padma. To keep herself occupied, she also Searches for hopeful candidates, taking pride in the ones even who don't Impress.
