Consise/Basics
Name: Caeliah
Nickname:
Position: Candidate
Past Ranks: Apprentice Beastcrafter;
Gender: Female
Sexuality*: Pan
DOB: Month 5 of Turn 387
- Note that all sexualities are fluid or basically pansexual, due to ness's own sexual mindset. All characters are at base pansexual; they could go for anyone based on personality over gender. Some of them may lean, and have a gender preference. Some may be more bisexual. Bigenders, transgenders, and other genders may not be an issue on pern, so that aspect may not be an issue. Point: Personality over sexuality, which is why they will be listed as Pansexual with a potential lean.
Looks
Fairly short for a pernese woman, she's 5'9", of a fairly light build. The features of her face are sharp, with pointed chin and cheekbones, and a thin nose and lips. The most disconcerting factor about her face are her eyes, which are round and bright, and seem at odds with the starkness of the rest of her features. Her eyes are dual-colored, a manifestation of heterochromia; the left is brown, where the right is a bright, pale blue. Her hair is naturally wavy, it's color matte black, kept usually at shoulder length. In terms of build, her body seems to be fighting with itself; development only recently occurred to it, apparently. Her limbs are lanky and pointed as the features of her face, but her torso has filled out to a soft hourglass shape, breaking the otherwise uniformity of long lines and sharp angles. She carries a bit of weight on her stomach.
Personality
At first impression, Caeliah seems very shy and ill at ease. She speaks with a slight stutter, when in new situations or meeting new people, and doesn't really make eye-contact. This is pretty misleading, because at her most natural, Caeliah is anything but shy— she just needs a moment to get comfortable. This she does fairly easily; the moment there's a connection between her and another person- something in common, perhaps, or some statement she can identify with- she calms down instantly, becoming her normal, usually outgoing self.
Caeliah's social urge is actually very strong- she likes people, genuinely, and she likes being around people. When she's alone, she gets bored, and she hates being bored. This lends to her often finding some way of occupying herself, which may or may not be against what whatever authoritative body is in charge of her has in mind. Kind of like the massively intelligent dog who will gnaw everything apart of they get bored, Caeliah will get into things, or more frequently, wander off.
She's very prone to wandering— the adventure for Caeliah is the process of doing and the process of going places. She loves that, she loves to put herself in new situations and do new things, even if she seems shy at first— it's not shyness, so much as distraction. If this is a thing involving lots of people, that's great— problem of being alone and bored solved! However, she will frequently wander into nature, and there the fascination takes a whole different flavor.
Her sense of direction is not the best, though she does usually end up wherever she intends to be— just, you know, in a few hours. Despite the fact that she'll frequently get very lost, whenever she gets down to wandering, she doesn't usually let it get to her; no, she typically enjoys that sorts of thing. After all, you see so much more! Which is how it should be, really.
She has a very distinct fondness for nature. Growing up in the beastcraft, this is not particularly surprising; where better to develop a fondness and appreciation for all things alive? Though it's important to note that it's not the beastcraft's usual sorts of critters that really get her going. She LOVES the domesticated animals the beastcraft's main focus is on, but the natural world holds her fascination. Whenever possible, she likes to see things interacting in the wild, at their most natural. It's just so fascinating, and warming. She has several pages filled up with notes from these sorts of observations; various sketches and whatnot of creatures in their natural habitats. Her free time is usually split as equally as she can manage it between wanderings into the wild to take these sorts of notes, and being social.
Creepy-crawly things in particular really interest her; the sorts of things that make people cringe and keep their distance. Insects, slimy fishes, reptiles and vermin— she loves them all. She literally doesn't understand people's aversion to them- her response to people cringing away is usually along the lines of, 'really? Why? They're so interesting and fascinating!' She'll even go as far as touching things, too, if it doesn't seem detrimental to them— though she has enough sense to avoid the things she knows are poisonous, or is unsure of. She even likes tunnelsnakes.
Caeliah has a bit of a vain streak; she likes looking good. She'll wake up an hour or two early, in order to take a proper bath and do her hair nicely, and put on nice clothes— primping which is almost always in vain, since she likes to get into places which are dusty/dirty/messy/muddy/etc. This doesn't seem to bother her at all— she sees getting dirty as a fun thing, not a bad thing, even if it totally undoes the hard work of the morning. In fact, she kind of views a spectrum of cleanliness as being ideal— in the morning, you get all nice and dressed up, and then you get places and DO things, and if you're not covered in mud by the end of the day, you've done something wrong. She does delight in a second evening bath, including a nice soak, though— going to bed muddy's just not fun, you know?
She has fairly fine tastes in clothes, and will wear a dress whenever possible— even if it's just a light dress*, sometimes with trousers underneath, for practicality's sake. She's become very good at mending clothes over the turns, making them good as new. Though her intentional focus has been the natural world, she did enjoy messing with clothing so much that she sought out some lessons with the local tailors and weavers; she enjoys making her own clothes and designing things, when she has the time. It's become something of a hobby for her; by no means is she professional, but she can make a decent dress or something for her own use.
*((OOC: the terran "Sundress" is what I'm thinking in terms of design.))
History
Relatively standard. She was born in the main sections of the beastcrafthall, and spent most of the foundation turns of her life there. Once she was old enough that her parents felt fairly comfortable uprooting her, they moved across the sea to an assignment at Aphe hold. There they stayed until she was 17, before speaking interest in moving to one of the neighboring holds, Tybol, where there was a strong sect of the beastcraft. She expressed interest in staying at Aphe hold. Her parents moved on to Tybol hold without her, where they now are— close enough for visiting, but far enough that she maintained her independence comfortably.
She lived/will have lived there for two turns, before getting searched.
Her parents specialized in canines; her mother specifically specialized in anatomy and breeding concerns, her father in training.

Jays
Blue Male Hunting Dog
Mastiff-Type
A- Of a hunting breed, Jays is a large animal, with long legs and a heavy frame. His head is fairly large, with big jowls and expressive light-brown eyes. The short, coarse fur that covers his form is a very light, cool gray. In shade, it is almost uniform, but for where it darkens slightly near his feet and around his muzzle. He's a pretty massive animal, standing at the withers about 2'10”.
P- He looks huge and imposing, but really, he's anything but. Jays loves people. Absolutely loves people. He'll bark at a stranger, but only for a little while— you know, until the stranger comes up and gives him some loving. To someone familiar, he'll whine and grumble— not bark, but make odd plaintive noises, until he gets affection. He loves having his ears scratched. In terms of energy levels, he pretty low key— he likes walks and wandering, but he'd just as happily curl up in bed and sleep all day. He has a particular fondness for soft toys and small creatures— he's not a very good hunting dog, which is why he ended up with Caeliah in the first place. He just doesn't have the instincts for it, so his breeder gave him up to someone who wanted a pet, and not a hunter. He sleeps in bed with Caeliah, and if he had his way, he'd have the entire bed to himself.
