Candidate Sari

[greenridercass]

Character Information

Name: Sari
Gender: Female
Age/Birthday: 14
Orientation: Heterosexual
Location: Lateo
Rank: Candidate

Family: Izzy, Graff, no human ones that she, or anyone, else knows of

Pets: Fire Lizards – Green – Izzy, Feline – Graff (think Bobcat)

Appearance: At 5’ 1/2” Sari is not the smallest person on Pern (she is in her own opinion) but definitely not the tallest. She walks in a seemingly casual matter but is always alert to her surroundings. She is very fit and tries to exercise regularly... Her sun colored hair is unusually long, down to her waist, and always tied into one long braid to make it more manageable. Her eyes are a deep blue that change from stormy to crystal depending on her mood. Sari’s skin is noticeably tan and she has two odd scars on her shoulder blades. She loathes dresses and will make every excuse not to wear them. Her preferred clothes are dark fitted pants with a light colored, short sleeved tunic. As for shoes, Sari would rather go bare foot but will settle with knee length boots. The one thing that she always wears is a small blue crystal pendant around her neck. She never takes it off.

Personality: Sari is one of those people who always seem to be in a good mood. She always speaks her mind, a habit that has made her a few people angry with her, when she calmly tells them that they are being a total idiot. Going along with that, she is very stubborn and will NOT do something she sees no point to. Though some of the things she does make no sense to anyone else but she does not really care. She treats everyone one equally, which makes it seem as though she does not have any respect for her superiors. You must watch her when she is angry. Protective of her friends, and quick to hold grudges, Sari can give a tongue lashing as strong as dragon fire when she wants to. Some people underestimate her for her size which is a grave mistake for she is adept a hand to hand and using a knife. While she doesn’t have many human friends she gets along very well with all types of beasts. Izzy and Graff follow her everywhere she goes and are her closest friends. It is not uncommon to see her talking to one of them. It is hard to make Sari respect anything, but she is in awe of dragons. She spends hours watching the weyrlings train and the dragons hunt.

History: All of Sari’s past from before she was nine years old is unknown. She was found in the wilderness with tattered clothes, a knife, her necklace, and the company of Izzy and Graff. Surprised that she could talk they took her and her friends home. The people cleaned her up, gave her new clothes, and tried to teach her, and her companions, to behave. (One of them tried to take her necklace off her once… that poor person. Judging by how deep they were the teeth marks took a long time to fade.)They gave up after all of their hands had more than four bite marks apiece. So, they sent Sari, Izzy, and Graff to be Lateo Weyr’s problem. After five years of teaching the weyr folk have managed to make her a normal civilized person… mostly…

Color Preference: green gold

almost forgot again. . . . . Impression.
see I do read rules *evil laugh*

[E]

*laughs* sometimes I wonder just how many people do read the rules. Looks pretty good though, not too many complaints. Ther e are just a few things I'd like to point out for you to concider before I approve this. Dizzy said somewhere that she'd like to see less people below five foot two inches. Due to perns lesser gravity, the people would grow taller and we seem to be rather overrun by small people... Of course with your charrie being only fourteen this can be overlooked as long as there will be a growth spurt in the furture. ((females usually reach their max height by 16 years of age))

The only other real complaint I have is the being found in the wild with no family. We've had quite a few cases of not knowing parents. Of course in a weyr that is typical of the children of riders... however before I approve this I would enjoy to know how she came to be on her own at such a young age. Remember to keep in mind that we are taking no more shipwrecks and that there are a number of perfectly fine holds that you can have a normal life in before whatever incedent you come up with. *wink wink*

Hope to see what you come up with.

umm, well since she was an adoptable, I just kinda did the whole cut and paste thing. I was intending to have her grow, really *you believe me right* as to her history, I could always have her parents die/ abandon her, whichever will work better.
I really did like mainly her personality, so I have no real problem tweaking parts of her history.
thank you cass

Well that is understandable. I had forgotten she was in the adoptables. The thing with the adoptables here is that they are the characters that people have started, but never finished. Chances are we commented on her history before, but it was never changed and we never seen the owner again so what she had completed was put into the adoptables.

With her being so young, she does not need much of a history because you are right, she will grow. The problem is that the history that was made by the previous owner is so vague that it gives absolutly no reason as to her personality or appearance. Even just a few more, well thought out sentences would be enough. I'm just looking for some small change that might color it a little more...

[greenridercass]

i am working on something to add to her history, just been sick lately
