NAME: Asheryn
RANK: Journeyman Minecrafter/Wherhandler
AGE: 30 Turns
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: Bisexual
WHER: Green Ashesk
APPEARANCE: Asheryn is a small woman, standing at only 5’3”. She is also slim, though incredibly fit due to her lifestyle, with lean muscle, though just looking at her no one would guess that she’s a miner. She has straight black hair, falling to just below her shoulders and often tied back and out of the way while she’s working. Her eyes are a dark, rich brown. She generally prefers to wear practical clothing, but she does enjoy occasionally letting her more feminine side out with pretty dresses and skirts for celebrations and gathers.
PERSONALITY FAULTS:
For many, Asheryn can be… a lot. She is loud and boisterous and doesn’t at all take well to being shushed, or to any attempt to control her in any way, really. With a bit of a rebellious streak in her, Mavros was a natural place for her to be. This is a woman who knows who she is and isn’t at all willing to change, or even tone herself down, for anyone. If you can’t deal with her then that sounds like your problem, not hers. She is incredibly blunt and doesn’t sugarcoat anything for anyone. She’ll say whatever is on her mind and doesn’t really think twice about it. Independent to an extreme, she has a real problem asking for help and would honestly rather fail a dozen times on her own before she would ever ask for assistance, which can obviously be quite a problem. When she has made up her mind there is little that can be done to change it, and while she isn’t hidebound and is willing to learn and adapt to new things, it has to be on her terms. An incredibly restless individual, she tends to get bored easily and is always looking for something new to do, to learn, to experience. Routines definitely don’t work for her for very long.
PERSONALITY STRENGTHS:
While her attitude might lead some to believe otherwise, Asheryn is actually quite an intelligent individual with a mind for logic, numbers, and problem solving. She has always excelled at figuring and really enjoys the structural aspects of the minecraft - the parts most would label as boring. With her outgoing nature she would have no shortage of friends if she could just tone herself down a bit now and then, however she tends to come on rather strong and few enjoy being around her for long periods of time. Fortunately this doesn’t particularly bother her and she is perfectly fine on her own. Diligent with her work, she enjoys hard work, whether physical or mental, loves a challenge, and can be quite competitive. Adventurous and seemingly fearless, she has no issue being the first to do something and loves trying new things.

HISTORY:
Asheryn grew up in Castel Hold, born of generations of miners. As her family were proud miners and she had always been proud of the fact herself, she was quite eager to apprentice. Castel has been one of the more progressive places on Pern since its founding and girls are often accepted into mining apprenticeships, and to do more than cut and polish gemstones. While women seldom actually worked the mines in other parts of Pern, they were common enough in Castel’s mines that when Asheryn finally began her own apprenticeship, she was not terribly out of place. However, that didn’t mean girls still didn’t get singled out or picked on by their male peers.
The only girl in a brood of brothers, Asheryn was quite used to holding her own against boys, so when hazing and bullying of the female apprentices in the mines began she was always in the thick of it, giving as good as she got. Not that she ever really won her fights, she was smaller and outnumbered with less muscle than the boys, but that never stopped her. While this scrappy nature might have gotten her in trouble in most other holds, in most other crafts, it actually earned her some respect from her male peers, after a while, and it was only a turn or two before the bullying morphed into strange friendships, and one of those friendships resulted in a short romance which led to her son Ryntin’s birth. Though both families pushed for marriage due to their child, neither wanted it, though they remain good friends.
When news of Mavros first came to Castel, Asheryn thought it sounded like a great adventure, a challenge to shake up what had become a rather routine life. So she and her son, and her son’s father, much to her surprise, as well as a couple other miners all found their way to Mavros to help build the place, well, basically from scratch. It was rather exciting to be part of something so new, though it quickly set in that there would be hardships none of them had really anticipated, seeing as the new Weyr had not been sanctioned by the Council of Weyrleaders. It just added to the challenge, however, and while a few of her peers left after a turn or so to return to Castel, Asheryn was determined to see Mavros grow and thrive.
Since coming to Mavros, a brief dalliance with Master Galderran led to the birth of her daughter Ashderra. Her children spend most of their time in the creche, though Asheryn makes sure they see her at least for a short time every day. Always on the lookout for new opportunities, adventures, and challenges, after hearing that Mavros was getting a gold wher clutch from Jask, she put herself forward as a prospective new handler and was granted an egg by the gold mother, which hatched into a tiny, spunky green wher.
IN THE EVENT OF YOUR SUDDEN, UNEXPLAINED DISAPPEARANCE FROM THE SITE AT ANY POINT IN TIME, WHAT DO YOU WISH TO BECOME OF THIS CHARACTER AND ANY CREATURES THEY MAY IMPRESS?
