Consise/Basics
Name: Syleka
Nickname: Leka, Syl
Position: Wherling
Past Ranks: Holdbrat, REfugee, Whercandidate
Gender: Female
Sexuality*: Pan
- 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
Small and somewhat wiry, Syleka has an odd perky brightness to her. She's pale all over, creamy skin and platinum blonde hair giving a slightly creepy impression when combined with blue eyes just a liiiittle too large for her face. That face is a pointed oval with delicate features and full lips usually turned upwards in a smile. She's short, coming to a total height of about 5'2", but her limbs and torso are long. She's usually smiling, and often gives the impression that she's not entirely there, like she's off paying attention to another reality and only occasionally checking in.
Personality
Syleka can be easily compared to small kittens- she has that kind of happy, the-world-is-new-and-exciting attitude, despite her age. It's probably permanent, given the fact that it's present her entire life.
An avid daydreamer, it's harder for Syleka to pay attention to reality then it is for her to daydream. She'll frequently loose focus and loose herself in her mind, and if she's doing something she's used to doing, she'll start slipping off into her mind automatically. People speaking to her will frequently have to bring their attention back to her— though that's more of an issue if she's being lectured at or something. If she's actually having a conversation, she'll usually be interested enough to pay attention. Her head is securely fastened in the clouds.
She's easily-pleased— she likes simple things, and marvels at them. Clouds, for instance. She could watch those for hours. She loves insects and butterflies and pretty things to that effect, and could probably amuse herself literally watching paint dry. She's consistently fascinated by people displaying craft-skill— she'll watch the painters and smiths for hours, complimenting them, commenting on how wonderful it is that they can do such things, and asking questions— in other words, making a nuisance of herself. She's curious about everything, and will ask a billion questions if given half the chance.
Her voice is light and airy, very pleasant— much like her. She's genial and friendly, and almost doesn't understand the concept of "stranger." She's very sweet and affectionate, and enjoys being touched— patted on the head, hugged, all of that. She hasn't discovered sex yet, but she'll probably like that a lot, too.
She's very creative, though she has no art to expend it on— she contents herself thinking of strange stories. She has a fantastical mind, and can amuse children for hours with her stories. She'd try to amuse adults, too, except she doesn't think they're interested in stories. She's kind of vague, and very abstract, mentally— at times, she seems to be on an entirely different plane of reality.She's very weird, but she's also very friendly, and willing to give almost anyone a chance.
Despite all of this, she is not nonfunctional or anything of the sort. She has absolutely no issue communicating, and rather likes to do so, if you can get over the fact that she speaks airly and always seems half lost in thought. She's good at making observations and connections— she only looks like she's not paying attention. In reality, she has a good memory and a quick mind, and is very clever. She's also subtly strong and determined— she's terrified of thread since it killed her father, but instead of staying at the hold and hiding away, she came to the weyr to do all she could to help.
History
Syleka heralds from a small family of cotholders, off of benden hold. They had been cotholders for generations, knowing how to work the land and trading their goods for whatever they couldn't grow. Things were fairly normal, if slightly tragic- a middle child, Syleka lost her mother to childbirth when she was 8. The child, a son, was saved,and Syleka was close to him growing up.
Her father thought little of the rumors of threads' return, and happened to be working in the fields at the first threadfall with her eldest brother. they could not return to their cothold in time, and were killed in the fall, leaving Syl and her small family on her own. Her uncle , however, was a handler at Benden Weyr, and came to collect the family and bring them with him.
Indebted to her uncle, Syleka chose to follow in his footsteps and be a wherhandler too, standing at Green Moriask's clutch and impressing her own little Sylekask.

Brown M Firelizard
Rusty auburn dominates this brown's hide, especially around his headknobs. He has a relatively long muzzle; a vacant look plays upon those thin features. That rusty auburn continues down his spine, and along the top of his wings. However, his underside is a dusty sandalwood color.
What's odd about this brown is that there is a banded stripe around his neck, one that seems to ring the base of his throat. It also continues down either side of his chest, near his forelegs — like a scarf of some kind wound around his neck and hanging on his chest. The band is striped across its length in colors of cream, orange, dark brown, dark russet, and grey. These stripes are all different sizes, making for an odd, erratic pattern.
The rest of his body is as slim and lean as his face. Wingsails are a rusty brown between dark russet spars on the top, and a lighter, slightly burned brown on the bottom. The color darkens on his legs, turning to a deep olive-brown color, with dark brown talons.
Fiji
Brown M Firelizard
Broad brown shoulders and strong, muscular jaw make this firelizard seem decidedly masculine, but still there's something oddly feminine about him. His headknobs are long and sweeping, ending in slight curls, and he walks with a dainty step, ever looking down his nose, as if he sees himself as important.
