((sorry about the copypasted and slightly modified history. I didn't feel like rewriting the same thing. I might make her adoptable anyway -shrug-))
Character Name: Xiana
Age: 15
Gender: female
Preference: males
Previous Position: farmer's kid
Current Position: dragon candie
Appearance: Like her brothers, Xiana has very dark hair and very dark eyes, but she carries them in a different manner. She very much looks the part of a baby sister, giving an onlooker the feeling that she must really be a doll; she looks so fragile and pretty. Her smile is so genuine, though, that they know she is not in spite of her ethereal beauty. To make up for her face's prettiness, however, are the subtle scars and bruises from her father's and older brother's less than gentle treatment? She does her best to hide them, because she knows that it would be bad to show them off.
Personality: Xiana spends most of her time idolizing her brothers. Although small, she will immediately fly into a rage at someone who even pretends to insult the twins. She cannot recognize the animosity between them, and seems unaware that the abuse they all bore under their father, and that Xiarly now continues, is not a way of expressing love for someone beneath you, although she has developed a bit of an inferiority complex from being always told that women, especially the youngest children, are weaker than their male counterparts. A little on the nervous side, she needs constant reassurance of things like love and sometimes, when disaster seems to strike, the very existence of her twins by her side, a need picked up after their father, who she loved unconditionally and irrationally despite his blatantly inappropriate behavior, died.
History: Father:Ximon deceased farmer
Mother:Arla wife of farmer/punching bag
Brothers: Xiarl candidate aged 17
Xian candidate aged 17
Arla and Ximon met at a gather when she was twelve and he was twenty. As soon as he was able, Ximon wed Arla, and they commenced the baby making. Because she was so young and so small, she had several miscarriages before two, small dark baby boys were born.
The couple named them Xiarl and Xian, and the two brothers quickly became a part of the family in a way their fallen comrades, who never made it past the fetal stage and never made it into the conversation, would ever be.
Ximon held a heavy hand over their little familial unit. When he wanted something, he got it. AT the beginning, he simply wanted Arla on demand. That would change as time passed.
When the twins were no more than toddlers, another child was born into the family, a little girl. They named her Xiana, and everyone loved her. Xiana latched onto her brother Xian early on, because he was so gentle and kind to her when everyone else treated her like rubbish.
Their mother, too, was thrilled to have a baby girl, but she was also worried that Ximon would demand the same things of their daughter that he did of herself. She trusted him not to, though, because she loved him. It was a rather stupid thing to do, in retrospect, but she had no retrospect, and fate decided what would happen.
Xiarl was the dominating sibling from the beginning. He was the top of the pecking order, and Xiana looked up to him, because he always knew what to do, knew what was the right answer, even if he was a little mean to she and Xian a lot.
After a few turns of growing and schooling, if you could call it that, for the children, Ximon started creeping into Xiana's room while her mother was busy with other things, like an ill brother, or making dinner. He touched her and did things that made her feel like a big girl, even if he did tell her not to tell her mother or brothers. It was kind of fun, besides, to make her daddy happy like that. It never occurred to her that anything could be wrong with what they did behind closed doors.
Arla never knew about these infringements on the girl's virtue because soon after that began, she died. She had been pregnant with yet another child, and this one was expected to live. A few days before she was due to give birth, it became apparent that this was not the case, because she spontaneously aborted and bled out. The family buried their mother in silence, and she was never directly discussed again.
Ximon was never quite the same after that. He never hit the boys, but he was never nice to them. He began to abuse Xiana even more than he had been before, for lack of Arla to abuse, and not in quite the nice way she'd thought it was before. He wasn't so gentle, and he did things that seemed more dangerous. She trusted him, though, and he never got her killed, so, in her mind, it was right.
When she was twelve, Ximon died suddenly, leaving their farm and all its glory to the twins, including Xiana. Luckily for them, they were in no more debt than the usual tithe required annually, which was to be expected anyway. The managed as well as they could, under the circumstances, and kept the farm in good, working condition.
Their parents had been dead for around three turns when a rider wandered up to their little corner of Pern and took a liking to the girl. He ended up deciding to take her back with him to the weyr, and Xiarl managed to talk him into taking the boys back with him as well.

Reason for this Preference: well, if she got a gold, then there'd be the off chance she'd end up in power, and, while I think she'd adapt on her own, with Xiarl and Xian around, bad idea
