Name: Nituna
Gender: female
Age: 16 turns
Birthdate (Season): Spring
Location: Alietran Weyr
Rank: dragon candidate
Wing (if applicable): N/A
Family:
Nikara - mother, age 34, Hold
Kitune - father, age 40, Hold
Nikuna - sister, age 12, Hold
Kikaru - sister, age 8, Hold
Kita - sister, age 8, Hold
Physical Appearance:
Nituna is a tall, willowy girl of about 5ft 10inches. Her frame is more stick like and thin than curvy as well, making her seem younger at times than she actually is. She has long legs, and a fairly average sized torso for her height. Even her hands and fingers are slim and nimble. Because of all this, some have described Nituna as being ethereal looking in appearance. She also has platinum blonde hair that has a hint of strawberry blonde in it. The cut is layered and long, coming past her shoulders to about mid-back. It's thin, almost veil-like in structure as well.
She has larger, sapphire blue eyes that are dark except for certain times in lighting. The one consistant thing she always wears is a red bow to help hold some of her hair back. Her clothes other than that used to be quite nice and full of dresses and skirts. However, since becoming a candidate she has worn more peasant tops and working pants. They often range on colors that are light for the tops, and darker for the pants. One of her favorites is as shown, a white top with blue bottoms.
Often, because of her up-bringing, Nituna can be found walking or sitting very poised. Every movement she makes is deliberate it seems, and she has learned to carry herself with grace. Meaning, that yes this holdbred girl can even walk around with a book on her head and keep it from falling off. She has a habit of chewing on her hair though when nervous, and it is incredibly easy to make her blush and see it considering her skin is an even milk and honey color.
Personality:
Shy, Self-deprecating, Calm in stressful situations, Nervous among large groups, scared of being too close to males, Loves rain and outdoors, hates being closed in/still for too long, Loves to sing, Hates for it to be heard
Nituna is a normal holdbred girl really. She's reserved and calm as girls of good blood should be. Her body and movements are always kept poised, her mind-set firm on right and wrongs. However, underneath that is in fact a rather shy, but intelligent girl. Nituna will be the first with the answer, and yet the last one to speak always. She is even soft-spoken in her voice and mannerisms. Besides this, Nituna is also quite self-deprecating. Shenever considers herself good enough, and only accepts praise when she is able to also bring herself down. This is so that she keeps an equal status of adequacy.
Despite this lack of self-image and confidence, Nituna is incredibly calm in stressful situations. Her rational mind-set, and intelligence helps her to quickly work through dilemmas and get past them. Because of this, one of her favorite pastimes is to solve puzzles and riddles. They seem to calm the girl as she works through things, quite and focused. Inside however is a girl itching to get out of her shell. She is just nervous to stand up for herself in front of a group.
She's even more nervous to be around males. Though men are her choice in preference, Nituna is terrified of being alone with them. She's heard too many tales from the drudges and mistresses at the hold to not be. Because of this, Nituna will avoid men generally unless with other people. When she is with others, especially if she has some drink in her, she is capable of flirting. It tends to be very sweet and coy though.
On top of this, Nituna's favorite thing is to hear the rain. The sound always proves to calm her even more than solving something. Because of this, she will often go to places that have creeks or small waterfalls, even the beach works. The sound of water simply soothes Nituna, probably because her mother used wash clothes and things while Nituna slept. An odd sort of ritual that became ingrained in her mind.
Nituna also loves open spaces and the outdoors. Consequently, she hates being confined or made to stay still. If she finds herself surrounded by people or something else for instance she gets very claustrophobic and will freak out. Moving Nituna to an open outdoor space is the best remedy for this, and it is one of the first things she let's new friends know about her. Also, Nituna has a gift that has gone quite wasted in many harpers' eyes. Her sweet second soprano voice is said to be delightful to many ears. However, Nituna is even more terrified of being heard singing than she is of being alone with men.
History:
Nituna's parents met at Alietran as young children. Both were the weyrbrats of dragonriders. However, the mothers didn't want to do much with their children, and the father was undetermined for one, the other was deceased after the loss of his dragon. Still, they had each other as friends from a very young age. Growing up in the Weyr, they loved to watch the dragons and often dreamed of becoming riders. However, after turns of never getting one and being left standing, the two decided to leave weyr life behind and move to a nearby Hold. It was a new chance at life, and a start of a family as Nituna was born, followed by her middle sister and the twins.
Often while she was a child, and even to today, Nituna felt as if she were the unfavored of the children. In truth, this was correct. As the oldest of the sisters, her parents expected her to help them raise her siblings and pick up work whenever she could. Her lessons were strict as well, teaching her to be even better mannered than the daughters of the Lord and Lady holder, or so that was the purpose. Nituna loved her family so she abide by their wishes. However, she also yearned to have the same freedom her younger sisters had.
When she was 8 turns old, her family started to discover talents among their daughters. Her youngest sisters were still young, but they caught onto rumors and "politics" within the Hold quickly. Her middle sister was a decent enough weaver, though she gained no formal training. As for Nituna, her parents constantly told her that she wasn't showing decent enough skills. They wanted more for her, and for her to show a better use so that the Lord Holder might marry one of his sons to the girl when she grew old enough. What she did have however, was a great singing voice, and a fear of being heard. Her parents, knowing this, decided that the gift was worthless and never tried to send her to a Hall.
At age ten her mother brought home firelizard eggs for Nituna's birthday. Of course, she got first pick, but there were eggs for everyone not just her. This both pleased, and hurt the girl, but naturally she didn't say anything. It was on hatching day that the largest egg, the one Nituna picked, hatched out a Queen and impressed not to her, but to her middle sister. Instead, it was a tiny green she impressed, and she happily took the one thing she believed actually wanted her.
When she was 15 turns old, her family went to a hatching at Alietran to see the festivities. They thought it was good since the Lord Holder and his sons were also attending, the whole time though Nituna ignored the boys. Her parents were furious, but she didn't care. The dragons held her attention the entire time, and her heart reached out for them and the candidates. Nituna wanted to be there, not up in the stands watching and being forced into this life of hers. She wanted to try and see if a dragon saw her worthy of being a candidate.
However, when she finally got the courage to ask her parents, they decided that it was only a pipe dream of a naive girl. They told her that if she were to be a rider, she would have been searched already. After all, dragons came now and again to the hold. Nituna, for once, stuck up for herself saying her parents never allowed her near the search dragons. They sent her to bed without dinner that night and confined her from the rest of the Hold the next few days.
When she finally got out, a search dragon had appeared over the Hold. There were rumors of a green clutching at Alietran soon, and she knew that they were looking for candidates the desperately needed. Her parents wanted her to stay away again, and even told her that there was another plan for her. She finally was to marry one of the sons of the Lord Holder. Angry and defiant, Nituna ran out to the search dragon and begged to be taken away....only to find that they were there for her.
It was a happy miracle for Nituna, who had on that day turned 16 as well. Reluctantly, her parents gave her permission to go, finally realizing that this was what their daughter truly wanted. Her sisters, were incredibly jealous. Nituna simply couldn't wait to get away from the lot of them.
Pets
Name: Harlequin
Species: Firelizard
Gender: female
Age: less than a month
Color: Green
7CFC00
324F17
CFDBC5
Physical Appearance:
The neon green and darker green go around her hide in a diamond pattern. It's quite distracting to many, and fits her joyous personality. Around her neck is a collar of sorts that is a light, moss green hue. It is straight on the top, and pokes down in upside-down triangles on the bottom. Her body is tiny for a flit, and she has a long tail that likes to curl around in different formations.
Personality:
Harlequin is a trickster through and through. She likes to joke around and play pranks, often stealing hats and scarfs to get others to chase her. Many times this is for attention, other times it's to lighten the mood or to entertain herself. She hates when people yell, and will immediately start goofing off if they do to stop them from continuing. She hates to fight and rarely hisses. Instead most of her talking is made through chirps and purring like croons.
For Candidates:
What color does the character want/not want?: Green or Garnet.
What color do YOU want/not want for this character?: Don't care.
Do you care if the character impresses cross-gender?: Only if it's a really good match.
Are you okay with your candidate being mauled; if so, how much?: Yep. Don't kill her.
Is this a stands candidate?: Nope.
Any other traits (physical or personality-wise) you'd like to see/not see with your dragon?: DO NOT GIVE HER AN INTROVERTED DRAGON PLEASE!!! >.< I like my more extroverted charries to get those and they'd be too similar. Sweet yes, frightened and/or shy please no.
