(Face Claim: Anna Sophia)
NAME: Krista
RANK: Weyrling
AGE: 17 Turns
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: heterosexual
APPEARANCE:
Krista is 5'0 with a petit sized frame. The boys in the hold would call her "sticks" for how thin she is. The cooks would always worry about her size and give her extra portions to try to "add meat to 'er bones" but has yet to succeed. Overly conscious of her size, Krista tries to hide her size by wearing larger clothes and jackets. Her best feature would be said of her hair which is a bright blonde with dark strands underneath which frames her oval face. Krista's eyes are a mix of blue and green from her father and mother respectively. At times they seem to deepen in color with the intensity of her emotions.
PERSONALITY FAULTS:
Krista can be, well, a little greedy. When it comes to food or certain items, she will not willingly share. Having to share everything with her sister has left her a bit sour on the whole 'share with others' front. She can also be a bit overly emotional. Feelings of love, hate, or even hanger tend to get multiplied out of proportion. Krista will tear up at the sight anything cute or while listening to their good harper's music. She keeps a good supply of handkerchiefs on her at all times just in case.
PERSONALITY STRENGTHS:
Friendly with an open and often times naïve heart. Krista tries to see the best in others (except her little sister, may she be Tunnel snake bit) and holds no prejudice against mixed dragon colors. She just thinks they are pretty.
Krista can be very determined when she sets a task for herself. Learning to play instruments in class was tough for her but once she set her mind to it, there was no song she couldn't play. Was it the most beautiful sounding ever? Nope, not even close, but at least she could play it by heart.
FAMILY:
Mother: Kathlyn
Father: Iro
Younger Sister: Emiline
HISTORY:
Born in Tidewalk Hold, Krista is the eldest in her family. She was born very early and very small. This has always concerned her mother and father, and they gave every special care they could to their darling first born. At least, till their perfect younger daughter was born. After 4 and a half Turns of trying for another child, darling Emiline was born. She is Krista's complete opposite being large, loud, and the center of attention. It wasn't that they meant to discount their eldest, it was just of the two you had to deal with the loudest one first. This was the beginning of Krista's frustration with her sister.
Their father Iro was not a rich man. A fishing man by trade, he could support his family but was by no means a Lord Holder. This meant a lot of sharing for his daughters, and what the loudest precious Emiline wanted, she got. The best blankie, the gold firelizard toy, etc. To this day, Krista can be very stingy in sharing from having to always do so in the past.
Other than that, life in Tidewalk was fine. She had at least some close friends and helped around the hold like the other girls. Something felt missing though, like life was just waiting on her to do... something. One day a treat, their father declared he was taking a huge shipment out to Mavros for the Hatching soon to be had out there and family was invited to come as well.
This was it! This was what Krista felt her life was waiting for!
After unloading the ship, they were allowed to wander the open areas of the Weyr and help the folk prepare for the feast. Krista was helping in the gather in the garden (her favorite task) when a blue dragon started nosing around her. At first she thought it was because she still smelled like fish even after bathing. Krista held her breath in awe of the beautiful creature. If only... she thought.
The rider came around at that moment and noticed what his dragon was doing and pronounced the verdict. She was to be a Candidate! This was it. This was her moment. No more playing second fiddle to her perfect little sister and just waiting to be married off. She has a chance to be a dragonrider.
It seemed but a speck of time before she was wearing her Candidate robe and standing before the eggs. Tension was thick in the air as everyone watched the eggs. A few of her fellows even got hurt. But the biggest surprise of all was the gold and green queen. Krista had never heard of such a thing before. She caused quite the stir before finally Impressing.
Krista had been completely distacted by the little Queen when suddenly The Earthy Egg burst open. Out popped the most beautiful green she had even seen. She was born small just like her! The poor thing stumbled over herself and sprawled right before Krista.
She crouched down to help it and the little one looked right at her with rainbow eyes, trilling happily at having found her.
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?
