Candidate Virian

[Possible New Member]

| - Human Bio - |

Name: Virian
Turns: Seventeen
Gender: Female
Rank: Candidate
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Weyrmate: None for now.

Appearance:
She stands rather tall for a woman, five feet and nine inches, and a slim build accompanies her height. She's not scrawny, but she is lithe, and surprisingly sturdy for her frame. Not the strongest physically, but not the weakest either. Virian has somewhat long blond hair, more of a rusty blond than a golden blond. Her blue eyes are like clear ocean waters, with light blue color. Also she has a very strong featured face, strange for as delicate a woman as she appears to be. With prominent cheek bones and and a strong jaw, her mental power is expressed well in her facial features.

To cover the rest of her body, she is well enough endowed that she appears as much a lady on the outside as she is on the inside. A well curved frame compliments her bust line and her curvaceous hips. Fair skin only amplifies her feminine appearance, her skin is as smooth as her manners and etiquette.


Personality:
Virian is kind and gentle naturally, but years of being shaped into a lady by her mother has allowed her to develop a stern side that she often uses when it comes to business that is attended to by a woman such as herself. Her mother was grooming her to be the wife of a Lord Holder, so she was taught all the right mannerisms and even the work side of what her life would include once she became what her family intended her for.

Thanks to her mothers mentoring, and her younger sisters who she treated like daughters rather than sisters, she's become a woman of pride. A strong, confidant, strategic, self controlled woman who is proud to be who she is when her father always thought she'd never amount to more than a kitchen drudge in some weyr.

Though even Virian has a fun side, one rarely brought out in the presence of others. Virian rarely truly laughs around others, when she does laugh it's usually fake. Though on the rare occasion something will strike her as funny and a real laugh that is merry and melodic will escape her securely watched mouth. For those close to her who have been lucky enough to hear her laugh, they can tell easily when she is faking and when she is not. But very few get close enough to her in a way that they will hear a true laugh escape it's prison deep within her.

History:
All her life she was her mothers crown jewel, and her fathers little rain cloud. She took after her mother in her looks, partly why her mother loved her so much, and partly why her father wanted little to do with her. But the other reason her mother took such interest in her growing up, was because in her own youth she'd been eyed by many a Lord Holder, despite being formerly betrothed to her husband.

With how much Virian looked like her mother, she knew her child could have the life she nearly did, and from a young age began teaching her how to be proper and prim like a lady should be. The fact that her mother did this for her, added to her fathers disdain of her. Her father knew her mothers ploy, that she was living vicariously through their daughter, that she still longed for the life she could have had.

That was a sign that he was losing his grip on his family, his wife longed for another life, a more full one, his daughter dreamed of being married to a man of wealth and rank, and he was slowly being pushed out of their lives without a son to even sedate his worries.

Virian grew into a lovely young woman, at sixteen she met with a Lord Holders son, and the two became good friends, he was the Lord Holders oldest son, who would take his place in due time. The Lord Holder and her mother talked for many hours and days about the two being married when the time was right, and it was agreed she would marry the young man, in time.

Her mother had two more daughters over the course of Virians life, much younger, and more like their father. Their father had grown even more distant from the family in that time, and it was up to Virian and her mother to raise to the two girls. A task Virian much enjoyed, as she got a taste of what being a mother was like. Another thing she dreamed about as she was being molded into a wife.

When Virian heard the news that soon she would marry the young man she'd grown to enjoy being around she was enthralled with the idea. A more cheery lively young woman could not be found, specially not when she turned seventeen and was on her way to assist in the planning of the wedding to come.

While she was at the Hold word of search dragons came, with no open desire to be searched she went to see the dragons themselves. Secretly a little part of her wanted to be a dragon rider, wanted the thrill of flying and the everlasting love of a bonded dragon. But she knew that was not the life for her, she was destined to marry into the Hold.

To everyones surprise the blue dragon that had landed and let the children awe it turned its head to her. Only moments after his rider walked over to Virian and offered her the chance to impress. She knew she wanted to go, but she also had a set life waiting for her here. It wasn't until the dragon spoke to her that she agreed, telling her there were not enough women like her on Pern, with beauty and intelligence, and strength that demanded authority, she would be a respected rider when she impressed. The dragon had said when, not if, and that right there gave her the push she needed to go do what she really wanted.

Thus she ended up at Akum weyr, waiting for the eggs on the sands to hatch, with her mind set that even if she did not impress this time, she would wait a few hatchings. She wrote to her beloved, told him she would come back if this did not work out. And he replied with he'd wait until he could wait no longer for her.

| - Candidate Information - |

Color Preferences:
Lunar, Gold, female impressing colors. Just please not green.
Why you want the colors:
Lunar would fit her the most, as in the past she's been a strict gold rider, that's why she's so very well poised and mentally far older than she is. But I don't really want her on gold again. I don't mind having to do clutches if Lunars end up being clutchers, but gold clutches aren't much fun for me. Since they are usually very big and I tend to do a lot of detail to the hatchlings.
Why you think you deserve the colors:
Because I am more than capable of doing clutches when need be, and with this character I can't see her on anything small or low ranked. Please don't mistake me for a rank snatcher or anything. This character is just a very old character in my records, I don't use her often as it's hard to find places for her to fit in, and she means a lot to me, so finding the right place for her and getting her the right color to match her is difficult. Over time I will bring in lower ranked characters, I have a deal of brown, blue, and green riders in my personal records, but Virian is one of my favorite characters to use.
Stands/Sands:
As I have her marked as a candidate sands impression is what I would expect for her. But if for some reason she ends up in the stands and you guys impress her from there I'm cool with it.
Mutations:
Yes. I love the Lunars here, and mutations are always so much fun. On my own site I've several mutational colors, and I myself have a couple in my records.
Injuries:
Maul or maim away. In her gold riding days Virian sported a scar that ran from her shoulder to her hip thanks to a brown dragon in the same hatching she impressed her gold. The brown tore into her, but she refused to leave the sands, and Zilith saw that as a gold worthy act of strength thus she impressed the gold. So I'm completely fine with injuries.

[Shori]

We currently don't have any queen eggs on the sands at the moment. If you are alright with that, then we would be glad to have her. I do have a minor issue with the fact that her playby looks much older then her actual age, but that really has no reasonable merit seeing as you have written out a description of her appearance anyways. Either way, this little girl is...
