Candidate | 18 Turns | Female | Heterosexual
Appearance
Petite is the most accurate word to describe Kylixia. Standing at five feet one inch, she is well below the average for a Pernese woman and given her slight build, looks almost fragile. This of course is a misconception that is often encouraged for…reasons. Her curves are subtle but there; certainly noticeable enough to deem Kylixia a woman. Her hair is the golden blonde of summer wheat and her eyes are a stunning amber giving her an overall golden appearance. Her face, though most often set in an indifferent mask is capable of a wide range of emotions from innocence and delight to extreme displeasure that promises wrath on the occasions that she expresses her emotions or otherwise pretends to do such. The only true way to tell the state of her mind is to watch her eyes, though even then she can hide things like disgust, anger and hatred quite well.
Faults
[/u][/center]To list all her faults would not only irritate Kylixia to the point of retaliation, but it would take far too long; mostly because she would argue that they are not faults at all. To begin with, Kylixia is rather narcissistic and manipulative, forever convinced that she is right and perfect and that the sun shines on her and willing to throw anyone under the Thread to get her way. Easy to take offense, Kylixia is not quick to forgive, in fact she rarely—if ever—will forgive a person for even the slightest of insults or intrusions. She is possessive and competitive and is quite the sore loser, especially where Impression in concerned; holding a grudge against those who Impress instead of her and becoming very territorial of the few “friends” she does manage to make. Because she has an eidetic memory, she will forever remember who you are and what you look like and most certainly what you have done, often scheming for anywhere from a month to a full turn to get you back depending on the severity of the insult. However, almost every act of revenge or bitter vindictiveness is no where near proportionate to the crime.
Perfections
[/u][/center]
Determined and cunning, when Kylixia sets her mind on something she goes after it with a plan in mind, cleverly accounting for and adapting to any obstacles. While for the most part loyal only to herself, on the off chance that she becomes attached to an individual she will protect them quite fiercely from any perceived dangers and will not tolerate anyone but herself to manipulate or use them. Confident, almost to a fault—alright, yes, to a fault—she values herself a great deal above those around her and doesn’t tolerate well the mediocrity of some. Her play-acting abilities are quite phenomenal as she is able to pull off the innocent young girl act to the point where she’s pulled the wool over a majority of the Weyr’s eyes. All but the most astute or those with kindred spirits are fooled. She is also something of an empathy and it is this trait that has garnered her a spot in the ranks of the candidacy though her use of it is hardly commendable.

History
[/u][/center]The Holdless; members of society cast out of Hall and Hold for one reason or another. The reasons for the banishment of Kylixia’s parents were quite simple; her mother, a concubine of Southern Lord Holder with a particularly bad temper. When it was discovered that she was laying with one of the man’s older sons—for he was considerably older than she was—she was cast out at the age of nineteen with little more than the clothes on her back.[/u]
It wasn’t long before she was snatched up by a particularly malignant band of Holdless after one of the rapists of the bunch caught sight of the beautiful young woman and attempted to have his way with her. Ixianna fought valiantly and it stalled the rather disgusting man just long enough for the leader of the small band of miscreants to haul him off of Ixianna and after a thorough beating, turned to find the young blonde woman with fire in her eyes. She was brought into the band of neredowells and it wasn’t long before she found her way into the bed of the leader, a young man by the name of Kylen who had been expelled from his community for killing his abusive father at the age of seventeen.
Within a month, Ixianna was pregnant and by the end of the turn, she had given birth to a beautiful baby girl with her father’s amber eyes by. The couple named her Kylixia.
Being raised amongst the scourge of society tends to have a lasting effect on a child, and both Kylixia and her two turns younger brother. In an environment lacking in morality and general empathy and possessed of the ability to glean emotions from those around her, Kylixia hardly had a chance to develop normally. From a young age she was taught the powers of deception and femininity by her mother and adopted her father’s ruthlessness and spitefulness. By the time she came of age—approximately fifteen—she was already fairly adapt at seduction and manipulation and had a flawless alter ego of sorts in place that allowed her to mingle with the normal folks. For all the world she seemed to be a somewhat flirtatious but otherwise harmless young woman.
With her empathic abilities, she was able to adapt and mold herself to whatever it was that a person would best respond to. This combined with her eidetic memory allowed her to manipulate people in more ways than her parents could have ever imagined. She wasn’t just confined to using feminine wiles but could tap into a person’s most primal fears and exploit them. She never forgot a face or a fear or road. She could literally map and entire Hold and know her way around in a matter of hours or less if she had an actual map to look at. What’s more, was that she never forgot an insult; and having inherited her father’s aptitude for drawn out revenge, she is quite the formidable foe; able to use your very emotions against you all with a sweet and unassuming smile on her face.
At the age of seventeen, in one of her mother’s crazy schemes, Kylixia got herself appointed as a drudge at Southern Hold and was given the task of tending to the family’s chambers after the Lord Holder—the son of the previous Lord Holder—got a look at her. For a turn she wriggled her way into the good graces and sometimes the beds of the Lord Holder and his family. Gradually over that turn, the health of the Lord Holder began to deteriorate despite his relatively young age—he was barely thirty. Of course no one thought it might have anything to do with the charming, petite young woman who had captured the man’s attention and indeed thought it might be his wife’s doing when the man’s health forced him to step down in favor of his younger brother Zorontin and his wife Vellatu. In truth, they thought Kylixia the dearest of creatures for volunteering her time to sit by the ailing Lord Holder’s side while his wife grew bitter and took her frustrations out on the help.
By the time Kylixia was eighteen she had effectively caused the death of a man—not that anyone knew or even suspected—by poison and had established herself as a trusted member of the staff at Southern Hold. She was then given the task of attending to Vellatu after the passing of Lord Zorontin’s brother. It was in this position that she came to the attention of Oxyoth, the blue dragon of a rider visiting from Mavros to announce the successful hatching and Impression of two Golden dragons at the newly established Weyrhold. It was the girl’s empathic abilities that drew the Blue’s attention and the praise of all but Bellandry—the previous Lord’s wife—that brought the offer of candidacy. Immediately spotting the advantages she might have in a place like Mavros as well as the opportunity to rise to power, Kylixia made a show of hemming and hawing over the decision, making it seem as if it was a far more painful decision that it truly was and finally, after a bit of innocent flirting, agreed to join D’rave when he returned to Mavros after informing a few more Holds and larger cotholds of the addition of two more Golds to Pern’s ranks.

Species: Firelizard
Age: >1 turn
Adult Size: 3.4''
Personality: Demanding . Bossy . Needy . Possessive . Lazy unless Rising . Entitled . Expects Hers to do whatever she wants
Looks To: Kylixia
With a stockier body than her mother, though still feminine, the flit is built for stamina and long flights. This means, when she does Rise to mate, she will fly long and give large clutches. She has mid-sized limbs with a somewhat short tail, and long wings for long flights. Her neck is long, however, making up 1/3 of her body length by itself and ends in a narrow head with stubby little horns.
Her color and markings are simple, and only add onto the brilliance that is the flitter herself. A brilliant sun gold base color gives way to a soft red orange on her belly and underside of her tail, as well as a strip down her nose from between her horns. Single stripes extending from the elbow of her wing mar the underside of the wingsail.Candidate Section
