Gender: Female
Sexuality*: Pansexual
- 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
Jericho fairly standard in build— scrawny and small from having a lean childhood, but otherwise normal. She's about 5'3", with a pointed face and delicate features. Her eyes are large and green, and her hair is blonde: she keeps it shorn short. She has pale skin and thin lips.
Personality
Jericho is very similar to a scared dog: slow to trust, jumpy, and wary. She's scared of her own abilities, her own inner rage and fear, though she's gained more control over it as time has worn on, and she's not used to being around people. She's rather nervous, especially in crowds or indoors.
That said, she's not a little bundle of fear. She's a strong female, who ordinarily would be quite overbearing and boiling over with independence if not for the nervousness brought about by her own circumstances.
Jericho is defiant. Even when nervous, she'll face down a challenge with a spark of anger in her eye. She rushes into challenges headlong and tackles them through momentum alone— though, really, having the ability to make shit explode helps a lot. She's both brave and courageous, and while her nerves may make her hesitate, it's not for very long. She gets more strength, it seems, the more impossible the task she has to face down is. She'll take hits, of course— usually mentally or emotionally— but she'll pull through or die trying.
Jericho is willful. She's strong-minded and strong-willed, all of her opinions are deeply held, and she's tenacious in following down something she wants or something she's set her mind to. She's a little bit too reckless sometimes— she jumps without thinking, and it can get her into trouble. She's reactionary, out of habit.
Jericho is independent. She doesn't like being told what to do, and pulling rank on her is only offensive. She's used to answering entirely to herself. She hates being manipulated, and hates doing anything unless she explicitly wants to. Giving incentive would reduce friction diplomatically— and she will take reasons such as "it would really make x happy if you," or "Help person y by…" Please and thank you go a long way. It's not that she doesn't want to do anything, it's that she wants to be the one making her own decisions.
She's restless; she's used to action. She doesn't trust quiet periods in life; they make her nervous. She'll seek out entertainment or something if things are too dull, simply because being bored makes her nervous. She's afraid something horrible will happen, and things will go to shit if she allows herself to be bored too long.
Life to Jericho is a fleeting creature. She knows that it's fragile, and that terrifies her. She doesn't want to go out, and she certainly doesn't want to go out having spent the entire time being too nervous to get anywhere. She frequently says that she'd rather not be the person who sits on their deathbed going, "I should've…", she wants to be the person who's put out violently on their back, thinking "Way to suck that lemon." She lives life for the sake of living life.
Jericho is toothy, in the sense that she "Will bite"- will react in a fight- and rather gritty at times. She's protective, and somewhat possessive— anything she considers hers she will fight to the death over. She won't hold it that close, all the time: she's not that breed of possessive. She'll simply leap at the throat of anything which threatens stuff that's HERS. She can and will be violent if the need occurs. You know why? Blowing shit up is fun, and useful in a fight. She's very loyal, almost blindly so, to anything that manages to win her trust.
Jericho has a lot of momentum. She does everything with the full weight of her personality behind it. She's passionate, and throws everything she has into anything she does that's worth anything. She gets caught up in moving forward, sometimes, unable to stop. she can be vicious, but she can also be very sweet.
Jericho is a fairly social creature. It has wounded her to be so alone for so long. She is gregarious and friendly, and she likes talking to people and being around people: she's most comfortable around a small group of those she trusts, and she rather hates being alone. Of course she can be alone, but she never liked it- even if now she's uncomfortable in groups. It's the stranger factor that unnerves her there. She does need people and she enjoys having them around- she's just uncomfortable, now, having forgot a lot of social graces and being plunged into a group when she's been alone so long. If she finds her footing, she will ease into it well.
She's very sweet to those she likes, and she's prone to show affection by doing thoughtful little things for people or bringing them small gifts.
History
Jericho was born to some holders in Fort Hold— not ones who lived in the main hold, but two who maintained a small cothold in what was technically fort's territory, and thus were fort holders. Her family was successful, but barely, and it was also large: there wasn't always enough food to go around. She also had primarily brothers, all of whom were rough and possessive: big farm boys. She was born a touch nervous, and growing up with them just made her more neurotic and possessive. It was slightly dog-eat-dog, at that hold.
Things stayed like that, until the thread fell, and fell out of order. Her family took many losses: two of her brothers, and her father were caught in the fall, expecting the day to be clear. the farm was destroyed, and she, her mother, and her remaining brother barely survived. They went to the main hold as refugees. It was not an easy life— it was crowded, and unpleasant.
Added to that the rebellion of the holds, breaking apart and calling themselves Estates. Despite their losses, her family remained loyal to the weyr. They didnt' want to renounce the weyr's protection. As soon as Fort hold became Fort Estate, they decided not to stay, and moved to Kaumi hold. Jericho was about six.
She grew up in Kaumi hold, but wasn't much happier there, either. Jericho was getting frustrated with her own helplessness. She wanted to control her own fate, not hide away in the one hold still loyal to the weyr. Thus, at the age of 16, she bid goodbye to her mother and went to the weyr, to stand as a candidate. Her family has lost too much already, and now she wants to protect them.
