Name: Ke'ran
Gender: female
Age: 16
Season:
Sexuality: undecided as yet
Rank: candidate
Hair: light brown
Eyes: dark brown
Height: 5’5’’
build: slender
Description:
From first sight it’s clear this girl is no pampered flower, she’s used to working outdoors and working hard. Her skin is a weather beaten brown colour a few shades darker than her pale brown hair, which the sun tends to put streaks of blonde into. Her hands and forearms are laced with scars, not anything sinister just the results of varied mishaps, a burn here, a slip with a knife, the worst and most obvious is a burn scar that reaches from two thirds of the way up her right forearm almost to the elbow. Her build is a light agile one but her work has put a bit of muscle on her frame.
Keeran’s best facial feature is probably her dark brown eyes, they seem a little large for her head and are framed by long lashes, however most often they are only glimpsed as peering out from behind a curtain of shaggy hair. The rest of her face is normally bearing an easy smile that shows easily enough teeth to fit in a runnerbeast’s mouth.
Keeran is given a simple look by the undyed wool that forms the majority of her clothing and her ‘back country Pern’ accent does nothing to dispel this air.
History:
Once there was a wandering harper journeyman who travelled the northern continent with his lady love, a Bitran born woman who had no particular training but a talent for keeping her dreamer of a man firmly grounded in reality. In time they had two daughters, Keeran and her older sister Fayan.
With his family in tow the harper (who was called Korron if you wanted to know) travelled for many turns. However his younger daughter was often an embarrassment at larger holds. Keeran refused to wear skirts and blend in with the hold girls, in fact she was most often found with the lads rather than other girls, challenging them to wrestle, which she always lost, or to ride against her, which she most often won. Finally, a turn after sending Fayan to Harper Hall to begin a proper apprenticeship, Korron sent his younger child off to his father’s holding near Keroon Hold for fostering, hoping the harder life would teach Keeran to appreciate what she had.
Korron’s plan backfired quite a bit, Keeran was seemingly naturally suited to her grandfather’s holding and loved being part of a self supporting holding. She had a seeming natural talent for taking care of the runnerbeasts and ovines her grandfather raised. She fit in better with her grandfather, her oldest uncle and his family who lived on the holding better than she ever had with the Hold children she’d associated with before.
The proudest moment of Keeran’s life thus far is training her own runnerbeast without assistance two turns ago, the second proudest was shortly afterward when her uncle gave her an egg from his green firelizard, though the egg hatched into a lowly and malformed green. A close runner up for either of those moments though is recently being Searched by an Istan rider shortly after their queen rose to mate.
Personality:
Keeran might be considered her father’s wild child, and truly she has no aptitude for ladylike behaviour, but Keeran, when she isn’t actively rebelling, has a calm, logical nature without any tendencies toward rage or panic, in fact Keeran rarely seems to show any strong emotion about anything. Keeran dislikes silliness in all its forms and tries never to be insipid, vain, or wilfully stupid, those being the aspects of silliness she likes the least.
Keeran is friendly with most everyone unless they harbour a dislike for her and her relaxed personality allows her to ignore those people rather than engage in active enmity with them.
Pets:
Name: Insi
Colour: green
Appearance: a very pale shade of green, like the inner flesh of a cucumber, Insi’s veins can be seen as streaks of deeper green on her wings. Insi is very small, even for a green and very clearly malformed, her wings are very long but less than a third of the normal width, because of this Insi can’t really fly, though she can glide short distances and is a master of betweening.
Personality: Though small in body Insi is large in curiosity, she will poke her muzzle into anything that looks remotely interesting. She spends most of her time on Keeran’s shoulder and for this most elevated position observes everything she can. Insi is obsessed with reflections and often spends hours in front of a mirror playing with her reflection like a child would.
Insi has never mated due to her malformation and most likely never will, her behaviour reflects this as she isn’t jealous of other females or flirty with males.
