AGE: 18 Turns
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
DRAGON: Gold/Green Steleneth (Chimaera)
PETS: Green Sandy-Shore, Green Flutter

APPEARANCE: Face of Lily James. Ceela is 5’ 4” and slight in figure. Her skin is paler, but it that darkens at home when she’s out in the sun. The bridge of her nose is sprinkled with freckles that fades onto her cheeks. Her eyes are a rich chocolate brown. She keeps her wavy curly hair long and leaves it down if she can. Her hair is a dirty blonde with lighter blonde streaks. (it will become a shade darker from the lack of sunlight bleaching it) She has a very strong jaw line that is accentuated when puts her hair up. She doesn’t like putting her hair up - she thinks it makes her look too regal and serious. Wide smile, dark eyebrows, and always seems to be up to something.

Personality Type: ENFP-A, Campaigner 

PERSONALITY FAULTS: Reckless, Impatient, Distracted Easily, Flirtatious/Non-committal

Ceela is passionate about life and a bit of a dare-devil. She is a risk taker and sometimes a little on the reckless side. She doesn’t often think about what consequences her actions will have.

She is not particularly strong physically, nor patient. She wants things instantaneously, but instead of getting frustrated will try multiple methods of getting what she wants before giving in. She is also easily distracted and likes to distract others, especially when they’re trying to get her to focus. She speaks before thinking, which can also get her into trouble. She loves to hear herself talk, but she also enjoys getting to know all sorts of personalities and thrives on learning all there is about anything.

Lazy is one description used often by family, but she’s just easily distracted and is good at avoiding work when fun can be had. She can work hard if she wants to or is passionate about whatever she’s doing; it’s just hard to catch her in such a mood.

While she can make a loyal friend, when it comes to romance she’s very non-committal. It requires too much serious talk and the thought of settling down and being a mother – which is also not on the top of her to-do list. It’ll have to be quite the persistent fellow to tie this one down.

PERSONALITY STRENGTHS: Social Butterfly, Positive Outlook, Friendly/Fun Loving

At first glance, you may be fooled into thinking that Ceela is a quiet and shy creature - when in reality Ceela is 100% extrovert. (She will assess a situation and then jump right in) She thrives on the company of others and will always find opportunities to talk to anyone, and is not normally picky who the company is. The more she gets to know someone, the more bubbly and excited she’ll get.

Ceela is passionate about life and a bit of a dare-devil. She is a risk taker and sometimes a little on the reckless side. She doesn’t often think about what consequences her actions will have.

Despite the opinion of her family, she is quite intelligent, but the joyous facade she puts on often makes her seem less than intelligent. Especially with all the trouble she gets herself into. She’s a bookworm, but will find a place (usually where no one can find her) to curl up and read. If she’s not reading or conversing or getting in trouble, then she’s daydreaming.

She doesn’t particularly care about what others do, she had a flexibly mindset and doesn’t judge others by their choices - unless they harm her or anyone she cares about. She makes friends easily and is a fierce friend at that, but she loves easily. She hates as easily as she loves, just takes one getting on her bad side.

Education/Skills: Grew up in a weyr, basic training that weyrbrats get - though probably rusty as she skipped out on the classes she thought unimportant. She loves to read, anything she can get her hands on, she’ll read. She doesn’t like to write, it takes too much time and effort. She has some hunting/fishing skills from the days she would stay away from home. Cooking was the one skill that she found useful - especially after the first couple times she tried to run away. She would often be found in the kitchens either watching or helping and became a friend to many of the cooks.

FAMILY: Mother: Ceria, Father: Jaranthlar (J’lar of Bronze Zaryth) deceased, died at first fall of the 10th pass, Siblings: 5 older brothers, two older sisters (siblings are not all same mother)
HISTORY:

Ceela grew up in Southern Weyr, the youngest of 7 other brothers and sisters. While there was no thread at the time, J'lar took his post as a bronze rider with pride and expected his children to all be dragon riders. He was a prideful man that took orders from higher rank very seriously - including embracing the relaxed preparations that southern were making for the next pass. Many of his children did impress, some to brown and bronze - his daughters were expected to stand only when there were gold eggs present. To his chagrin, one of his sisters impressed rather young to a green. Ceela, however, even though she stood at hatchings as soon as she was old enough, never impressed. She spent her days trying to find out how to get out of lessons, day dreaming on the beaches, eating fruits from the trees, and even running away a few times to assert her independence from her rather large family.

"One day I'll run away for good." She told the sister just older than herself. "And where would you go?" She'd tease her as they walked the beach, looking for firelizard eggs to bring back to the weyr. "Anywhere would be better than here." She would mutter with a sigh, anywhere where she wasn't known as J'lar's daughter or the sibling of so-in-so. "Don't you want to be a dragon rider?" Ceela had been asked this by multiple of her siblings, but she felt she could be more honest with this sister. "Of course I do... Maybe, just not here." The sister frowned, but they continued on, the ocean lapping at their bare feet.

When Ceela turned 14 she had already been hanging out at the docks, befriending and flirting with the fisherman and tradesmen that went far off to sea. She was old enough she felt like to fend for herself, and she was done talking about running away - and was to follow up with her plan of leaving finally. No one would really miss her, except maybe her mother who tried to coax her into being interested in a different trade besides being a dragon rider. Her sister may miss her, but she could come back and visit once she had impressed elsewhere.

Her plans got sidetracked though when first fall of thread fell and began the 10th pass of thread. There had been confusion and chaos, including the death of her father. She hadn't been there, but she heard a lot about it. How he had done some sort of stunt to save someone else, how he had been a hero. It wasn't in Ceela's nature to be sad, she hadn't really known the man very personally, but she hated seeing her mother grieve. She took it upon herself to keep upbeat and take care of her mother, nurse her back to happiness. She never forgot her plan though, waiting for when her mother would be okay without her morale and when the opportune moment would come. It finally did - four years after her father's death she found a trades man who wasn't having much luck trading with southern. She hadn't recognized the colors on his ship, but didn't care other than he was from a weyr. He accepted her payment to take her with him and weeks later she ended up in Mavros.

She wasn't sure what to expect, but realized that she'd have to start make a living, since she hadn't been searched. Her bubbly personality got her a job that lasted temporarily (as she had hoped) as she 'accidentally' ran into some dragon riders, who invited her to be searched then.
