Cirene - Blue Imperath

[tovaana]

NAME: Cirene (Rene)
RANK: Weyrling
AGE: 25 Turns
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: ? Probably Hetero, attracted to power
DRAGON: Blue Imperath
PETS: Feline (MoonClaw),  Sovereign (Green Gemglider), Nymph (Green Spitter)

APPEARANCE:

She is 5’ 11’ tall, thin (but with broad shoulders) and she has soft curves. (The older she gets, she'll be more taut and with harsher angles) She has a strong jaw and the hint of a cleft chin when she smiles. She has double dimples on her cheeks when she smiles wide – a very wide brilliant smile that often distracts and captivates the naïve. They way she presents herself (espcecially toward men) is doe-like and helpless. Usually this wears off once people get to know her and she tries less to appear innocent. She holds herself tall and with poise and has a grace that is learned (far from what she was like in her teens). She moves cat like and with precision.

Her skin is pale and smooth, but darkens a shade or two if she spends enough time outside. Her hair is kept long, but she crops it often to keep it healthy looking. Her eyes are a light clear blue-gray. She spends endless time on her appearance. She uses any spare marks she has on perfumes and clothes so she looks her finest. While she will try to get others to do her work, she also spends much time on her clothes and making sure they are well cared for.

Personality Type: ESTJ-A, Executive (maybe with some ENTJ, Commander attributes)

PERSONALITY FAULTS:

She values ‘things’ and calculates worth on looks and tangible things. She will scrimp and save all her marks, spending them prudently and with efficiency. Frugal and miserly, but when she does spend her marks, it must be on the finest on the lowest price she can haggle for (usually done by flirting). While she is thoughtful on how she uses her words, her tongue can be quick and blunt with no regards of how it will make others feel. If it is true, how can it be wrong to say? (Obviously her idea of ‘truth’ is slightly egocentric) She would never admit it, but acts as if the world should revolve around her and her time. She is impatient and can act impulsively if something isn’t happening in ‘her’ time.

What others feel doesn’t compute in her brain, tears and other’s anger does not affect her. What does spark anger is anything that would defy any of her ideas of truth (to do with self, dragon, or things she owns). Friendship to her is a way to get things she needs. As far as friends and lovers go, all she knows is that she deserves the best.

Liar by default. It started when she was young at the WeaverHall lying about her family and where she was from. As it got easier, she did it more often. Now she does it without batting an eye.

PERSONALITY STRENGTHS:

She acts with calculation, never thrashes out without thinking things through. She is a perfectionist and will do something until she gets it right (often pushing herself and her dragon too hard), which enables her to reach goals otherwise thought impossible. Since she believes she knows what is best, she will sometimes reign in her dragon’s recklessness. While she and her dragon are similar, she actually does not enjoy when others (including her dragon) think they know better than her.

While she is not the most pleasant to be around, she does love company (her love language is words of affirmation and receiving gifts). To show her appreciation to others (the few times she does), she creates and makes gifts. Cirene has a soft spot for little children, mostly little girls around the age of 8 or younger (and older and she thinks they should have the wit to make something of themselves).

FAMILY: Not important to her? But for records sake: Father: Lodren, Mother: Ceelia, older siblings, and one little half sister 8 turns old.
HISTORY:

As far as Cirene is concerned, her history begins the day she leaves her home at 13 turns to the Weaver Hall. She denies that her family is her family, as far as she’s concerned she’s the only child and she doesn’t know where her parents are. She has one little sister that she cares about or feels sorry for. She grew up in a small hold near Fort Weyr, but she’ll tell anyone that her home is Southern Boll where she spent her time at the WeaverHall.

In her younger years that she blocks out, her parents were never able to afford things that she wanted. She would see her friends with better-mended clothes and better-polished toys, and she finally realized it was because of her parent’s inadequacies. They worked hard, but they were mostly ‘workers’ that aided others in the craft. Indignant, at a young age she started taking grasses and weaving them together as blankets for her dolls, which escalated to grass rugs for her shared living area. One of her older siblings noticed her interest and found her a needle and old thread. She started by roughly closing rips, which turned into mending patches. Cirene remembers that it was her who approached her parents, telling them that she needed to go to the WeaverHall to further her talent, since she didn’t have the resources in their poor home.

Cirene was loud about her frustrations growing up, complaining about how she didn’t have proper clothes or shoes, that all she had was a silly tunnelcat, while hold ‘royalty’ wore the finest clothes and went to dances. She told them that she would be making the one dressing the nobles, that she’d be going to feasts and gathers in the finest garb as well. She would go on and on and on, in such a way that it grated against her siblings who were older and cut her down often, telling her how ungrateful she was.

“You’ll see.” She told them the day she left.

She went on to the WeaverHall at 13 turns. While she was drawn to tailoring, she also dabbled in weaving materials as well… since, well, some of the textures she was working with were not adequate for her masterpieces.

After much finger and hand blistering work and with her perfectionist eye, Cirene walked the tables at 19 and earned the title of journeyman as a tailor-weaver. She immediately found passage to start a journey to become a master, for she was the best after all.

In the South, she traveled from Weyr to Weyr(selling, designing and learning from other crafters), hold to hold from west to east, until she ended up when she was visiting a small hold off of Monaco Bay Weyr. It was here Oxyoth and his rider searched her. Her first reaction was thinking of how it would get in the way of her mastership, but the prestige of being a dragonrider changed her mind quickly on this matter.

Right before she was searched and after making and selling many articles of clothes of her own design, she finally saved up enough marks at the age of 24 for a feline. She finally convinced a trader to trade one of his white longhaired felines to her (after much debate, two dresses later, and many hard earned marks). She found the first little girl that reminded her of her young sister and gifted the tunnelcat that she had no need of anymore.

Cirene was lucky (or in her eyes, just that good) to impress her first time on the sands. During the touching she had approached the gold egg, as she'd deserve no less than the gold. Then, for kicks and giggles, she had also touched the Grinning Egg. While the conversation between the two had amused her, her heart was set on Gold. When Imperath hatched and strutted directly toward her, she had hesitated, her heart frustrated for not getting the Gold. It took a moment of staring at the pale muzzle and hearing all of the whispers and gasps to realize that she Imperath was something unique. Satisfied, she agreed to the impression (like she had a choice).
