Character
Name: Raelwyn (nicknamed Rael)
Rank: Candidate
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Origin: Ponaa Weyr
Appearance: It has long been said by more than one person that Raelwyn’s best feature is her eyes-a gaze that could melt a Bitran’s heart. Her bright, liquid orbs stare from oval-shaped eyes, surrounded by a fringe of long lashes black as coal. Her irises are the most gorgeous, deep emerald one has ever seen, the color of a rich forest. They are clear and open, yet unfathomable and infinite. You can read so much in her eyes, for they are always filled with emotion and betraying even her innermost thoughts. The candidate’s face is delicate, unlike the rest of her, with a gentle, small chin and petite nose. Her face is framed by long, honey-blonde hair that reaches just beneath her shoulder-blades when left loose. However, she hardly ever wears it this way, and generally likes to tie her tresses up in a messy bun, with wispy bangs falling around her jaw.
As far as her body goes, she is a lithe but well-built girl, and though she is far from heavy or robust, she does have enough weight on her not to be too delicate. Rael is also just starting to mature, and so has acquired a subtle shape to her hips that gives her a bit of figure. She stands just at 5’4”, a good height for her age. Her figure is not what one would call willowy, but she is built nimble, almost like a feline. Her arms and legs are petite, but working for turns with her chores and lessons have given her a subtle muscle beneath her smooth skin. You may not see it, but she does have a decent strength hidden. There is not an ounce of fat on this candidate, so her stomach is smooth and completely flat, the envy of her sisters who have already given birth. Her skin is a golden brown, not as tanned as some riders, but still enough not to appear pale. Of course, it is difficult for one to live in the southern sun and remain pale, anyway. She holds herself with dignity, but not really pride, so although you get the idea that she is a confident person, one would never assume by her appearance that she is an arrogant person.
The candidate favors light, sleeveless tops made from thin material that scoop low enough to be cool, but not so much that she shows cleavage. Raelwyn certainly likes skirts, about knee-length, that flow loosely and are also made from light, airy material. She also wears pants on the occasion, but in these instances she wears calf-high boots and tucks her pants into them. Much like her hair, she enjoys a more careless, genuine appearance than a put-on of togetherness. However, despite her obvious taste for the not-so-prim, she does not look like a slob, and her clothes are always meticulously clean and pressed to fall just so-so. She does have her own amount of vanity, and so would never allow her skin or clothing to look unclean. Rael always makes sure she looks good.
Also the envy of her sisters, Raelwyn’s skin is almost completely unblemished. Somehow, by Faranth’s egg, she has the most amazing complexion of any drudge-born you have met. Certainly, there are Holder’s wives and daughters who have been pampered since birth that have lovely, milky skin, but for a girl who has toiled her whole life and worked hard for what she wants, the candidate looks great. Her face is unmarked, and there are only two scars on her whole body. One rests on her left hand, a shiny white line that runs diagonally from her middle knuckle to her wrist. She was cutting some tubers when a few errant children ran through the kitchen, and the last one rammed into her full-throttle and caused the knife to slip. The other is on her ankle, also the left side, on the inside of her leg. It is five inches long, pearly white, and ridged. Rael doesn’t remember how she earned it.
Face Claim: Hayden Panettiere
Family:
Grandfather-Unknown bronzerider, Wingleader (Deceased): Neither Revarrin nor Raelwyn know they descend from such strong blood. The bronzer loved a lady outside of the weyr, and Rev was born from that union. His mother never told him, however, and only said that his father was gone long before his birth. Yet, it is certainly this rider that passed his traits down to Raelwyn. She has attributes of her father and mother, yes, but she was born from a different mold than theirs. She is, undoubtedly, the granddaughter of this man. She is much too strong a person to have taken completely after her parents.
Father-Revarrin (45): Journeyman Harper who came to be at Ponaa under unknown circumstances. He is aging well, and only looks more distinguished as the days wear upon him. His thick blonde hair now has traces of silver threading through, and his face is lined with the experiences of his life. His eyes, though, are as gorgeous as ever, a startling emerald green that was passed to his daughter. He is a pretty laid back individual with a calm temperament and never gets too excited about anything. Rev is sharp and quick, though, another trait he gave his daughter alongside his melodious voice and eyes.
Mother-Evelyn (41): Drudge at Ponaa. Born and bred in the weyr, Eve spent her days cooking and brewing numbweed, never truly doing anything extraordinary. She was pretty enough, with dark hair and blue eyes, and fell instantly under the spell of the harper Revarrin at a young age. They had several children together, and for that time she was happy and content.
Sister-Evarrin (24): Drudge, like her mother. Taking on Eve’s appearance, Eva is nearly a twin to her mother in her early turns. Pretty as she is, she has had several lovers and birthed two children of her own. However, she does not have her father’s quick mind nor his voice, but it doesn’t bother her. She is cool and calm, and just goes with the flow.
Sister-Revelyn (21): Drudge, though she also has been known to help the healers quite a bit. Unlike Eva, Reve takes after both of her parents in appearance, having her father’s blonde hair but her mother’s blue eyes. She is beautiful, and she knows it. Reve has only one child. However, she is only content when she is flirting, using her good looks to her advantage.
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Personality: First and foremost, Raelwyn is a very vibrant and likable person. She is extremely open and friendly, and will talk to anyone, no matter whom. She is outgoing and not afraid to meet new people. She also has a very tender, compassionate side, and if you grow close enough to her you will see it. Her heart is rather warm and vulnerable, and her emotions are very strong. She cannot help but let them run away with her, especially when she sees someone else in pain. She is ruled by her emotions, and sometimes they almost overrun logic. However, Rael has been in the Weyr her whole life, and she understands the need for levelness and a good head on her shoulders. To that end, she is generally a very intelligent girl who thinks things through, but sometimes she can leap without looking.
She is also very confident and self-assured, and once she sets her mind to something, she does it. Rael is not exactly arrogant or self-righteous, she just has faith in her own abilities. She is also slightly stubborn, and once something is a certain way in her mind, there is no changing it. Everything with her is white and black, no grey areas, and to hear her tell it: right is right and wrong is wrong. It is wrong to look down on other people, no matter your rank or theirs, and it is only right that you should treat people equally. She will take up for someone else who is getting bullied or pushed around, even if she gets the abuse for it. She is not afraid to stand up for something she believes in, or especially someone she cares about. She will always stick out her neck for someone who is dear to her or something she strongly believes, no matter the risk.
Yet Raelwyn will take care of herself, that is for sure. She does not believe in letting herself get pushed around just because she is a female, and has too much self-respect to let men talk down to her. The candidate fully acknowledges that riders are above her and that she must show them respect, and she does so happily, but some loudmouth kid who is picking on others better watch himself. Rael does not have a problem standing up to bullies. However, at the same time, the candidate deeply respect those in authority, and will show them every duty they are due. She admires the Weyrleaders. She realizes authority is a burden, but will gladly take on that burden some day. She wants what is best for Ponaa, her beloved home, and so throws herself into her studies with religious fervor to learn any and every detail she can that will make her a better rider some day.
Intelligent from an early age, it is no wonder she was Searched. She has a quick mind that processes things rapidly, and it is easy for her to commit information to memory. Rael hardly ever forgets a name, and she has dozens of simple remedies and recipes memorized. Because she is so friendly and cheerful, it is easy to forget that such a sharp mind resides in this lithe girl. However, she is far from logical, and just because she is very clever doesn’t mean she is always reasonable. Overall, she is a nice girl with an outgoing personality, as long as you treat her kindly.
Hobbies/Skills: Raised as a weyrbrate, Rael was chosen at an early age for candidacy, so she holds no skills outside of the weyr’s own necessities. She can read and write, which can be attributed to the endeavors of her foster-mother, Nye, and is actually quite adept at both. She can also brew numbweed, as most females of the Weyr can, and knows quite a few simple remedies for minor injuries, watching as Nye treated the other weyrbrats. She has attended many lessons, so knows much about dragons, especially since she has a habit of helping weyrlings bathe their dragons in her afternoon free time. Rael is a practical expert at that, and she has been told she is extremely talented when it comes to giving eyeridge scratches. She likes to be with her friends, and talk or watch the dragonriders practice. She also possesses a very pretty singing voice, presumably passed down from her father, of course, though she hardly uses that talent in a working weyr.
Pets: (Will only be given out via Cookie rewards---So I had better start working to get some cookies, as I would like to have Tydus back. :3)
History: Raelwyn does not know how her father came to be at Ponaa, and truthfully she never asked. Revarrin was a nice guy, but he never really had time for his children between fawning over Evelyn and putting his Harper talents to use. Of course, the girl was raised like all other weyrbrats, anyway, and was cared for by a nanny along with several others. She never really got to know her parents that well. Her sisters, being older than her by several turns, were also never close to her. She did, of course, run into them occasionally after she got old enough to wander about a bit, but they only made idle conversation and never made any attempt to be any family to her. However, Raelwyn was chosen as a candidate quickly afterward, so she was neither around her parents nor her sisters for very long.
Nye, her foster nanny, was a kind woman, but strict, and she saw to it that the children under her charge were taught to read and write. One never knew, she always said, which children would Impress bronze or even gold, and those riders usually had their faces buried in a report of some kind. Rael enjoyed learning to read and write, but absolutely detested being given old record skins to copy over. Although her foster mother insisted it would help steady her hand and improve her skills, the girl always resented it inside her mind.
However, despite these small pains, the candidate always looks back on her childhood as an enjoyable one, especially with all the friends she made. She was surrounded by friends at almost all times, and those under Nye formed their own ‘posse’ of sorts, both male and female. They spent their leisure hours as children do, running about and getting themselves into small trouble, or sitting on the railing and watching the beastcrafters working with the runners and herdbeasts. They particularly enjoyed it when one of the unfortunate journeymen slipped in a runner pie and fell on his butt. They laughed mercilessly.
Then came the time when the threads of the group were cut, as it always is, by the knife of time. The children were picked through, and those who held the qualities of riders were taken in as candidates, and the rest were left to their own devices. They were mostly sent to the lower caverns. Raelwyn was among those who were chosen to stand at Impression. The girl was absolutely thrilled to have been chosen as a candidate, and not only that, but as a gold candidate. Rael took to her studies with religious fervor, and she was found to possess a quick mind and sharp memory. All those who took her under their tutelage were pleased with her readiness to learn and work, and though she never really enjoyed her chores, she did those without complaint as well. After all, if she Impressed gold, just keeping the dragon’s hide cleaned and oiled would be a chore all on it’s own.
Occurrences of late have troubled the candidate, but Raelwyn does not allow herself to be distracted from her studies. She does, however, enjoy hanging out with the other candidates and wasting away her afternoon free time as leisurely as possible. Rael also hopes to catch a weyrling bathing their dragon during these times as well, so that she may help. Her grandfather’s reverence for dragonkind is in her blood, and she loves absolutely nothing more than spending time with them.
