Character Name: Anya
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Preference: Males
Previous Position: Apprentice Smith
Current Position: Candidate
Appearance: Anya has hair that would be classified as red, although in color it is more golden with very red tint, as is common in natural red hair. This is of medium length, cut and shaped in a rounded fashion around her face, stopping just little above her shoulders. It has no waves or curls, but is straight except for the way it curves around her face. Anya’s eyes are a light, grey-blue, set in a face with a complexion neither dark nor pale but a medium olive, with a few freckles splattered across her nose and cheeks, as well as her arms. Anya stands at a slightly shorter than average height for her age at 5’1, and has a slim, yet feminine build. She actually wishes she had fewer curves, as she would have been flirted with less at the Smithcraft Hall, and been able to concentrate better on her learning instead of worrying about being harassed. Despite her thinness, she is strong and her muscles are well developed, although not visibly so. Her face is rather circular in proportion, although the lines are a bit more angular from her temples to her chin. Her features are well proportioned, neither small nor large, which gives her an average appearance. Anya has an overall lithe and nimble appearance.
Personality: Anya is hardworking, and is easily bored when she doesn’t have a task to set her mind and body to, for she enjoys devoting herself fully to whatever she is assigned to do. Anya lives in the moment; rarely bothering to plan ahead when she can avoid it. She thinks planning is useless, because no one can foresee all the complications that will arise when the plan is put into motion, thinking that it is better to work on the fly. Anya has a logical, meticulous mind, and she enjoys solving problems as they come. She generally has a good idea of what will work and what is impossible, but is willing to try anything bordering on reckless within that range. She works well with other people and is best employed as someone to come up with an idea, rather than delegating tasks or leading others. Anya is spontaneous, optimistic, and not afraid to stand out. She can quite cynical at times, a result of the prejudice and harassment she suffered at the Smithcraft Hall, but she is generally upbeat and enthusiastic unless something happens to really annoy her.
History: Angall, a Jouneyman smith, was working at Tillek Hold, and came to meet the hold’s journeywoman harper, Loreya. The two got on very well, and became romantically involved. However, Loreya was recalled to the harper hall, having taught at the hold for two years, and it was there that Anya was born. She was put into the fostering system at Fort Hold, although she was able to see her parents frequently. Her father eventually came to Fort as well, and the two had another child, a boy they named Lorall. Anya grew up a happy holdbrat, and enjoyed playing with her brother and foster brother. When Anya came of age to be apprenticed, she had her heart set on becoming a smithcraft apprentice like her father, although the craft was one of those generally unaccommodating to women. However, due to ability to imagine and visualize things and methodical thinking, she was accepted into the craft as an apprentice, although her chances of being promoted to master, her greatest ambition, were incredibly low. However, she didn’t let this deter her, and strove to learn as much as she could. Anya was able to ignore the prejudice in the craft against her until, one by one, the other apprentices began to be promoted, but it appeared as though Anya had no chance of even attaining journeywoman rank. This is why, when a searchrider came and deemed her suitable for a dragon, she agreed to go to the south, to Araelen weyr. Anya decided that she would be happier in a weyr, where women could achieve ranks as high as men could, as goldriders.
Position in Family: Oldest: Younger brother Lorall. Younger foster brother Maeren.
RP History: 4-5 years
Familiarity with Pern: About 10 books
Desired Dragon Colour: Green
Reason for this Preference: I can’t see Anya being anything but a fighting dragonrider, and really want to have a greenrider. xD She would be an asset to a wing, and fun to roleplay. So long as her dragon isn’t overly feminine, I think she will do well with a green.
Ability Preference: Rescue Ability, Agility, Team Coordination
Syllable Numbers for Name: None
Preferred Starting Letters for Name: None, but something pretty/cute/easy to say would be wonderful!
