Identifying traits: Ateacina has a star-shaped scar on her left shoulder (her first encounter with a feline)
Appearance: Ateacina has long, black hair
and deep saffire-blue eyes. She has an gold-
amber complexion and is 5"12 tall. She is a little to thin for her height,
but
has long leggs and elegant hands. She has the body of a dancer. She has
a
scar on her left shoulder and a few barely-visible freckeles on her nose.
Her eyes always seem to smile, altough there is a slight glare of pain
and
sadness weaved into that happynes. It only shows when she has been
unhappy or
when she has drunken to much... She has a friendly mouth whereof
the corners
curl a bit up. She usualy wears her hair loose, but when she has
to work,
she wears it in a tight braid. She wears long, loose black or dark blue
skirts (with black trousers under them in winter) and a black shirt,
or
bloodred dresses, anything that fits with her hair and eyes. When she dances
or is working, she wears soft leather black shoes, and when she isn't,
she
prefers to walk on bare feet.
Personality: Ateacina is a friendly girl with
a lot of dreams. She is very patient and has
a very good memorie. Altough she wanted to become a dragonhealer, she was
more
fitted for healer research. She is shy when there are boys around, but
loves
to gossip about them. She makes her own perfume, and doesn't want
to tell
anyone the ingredients, altough it smells very well. runners and flits
seem to like her (must be her perfume ;-)), but Felines and Canines
prefer to
scratch her, or yawn at her. She has a soft, calm voice, and is a good
singer,
and a good dancer. She can be very eurm... honest at some times, hurting
peole with her knowing it.
There is something peinful in her eyes that make it dificult to look at
her
when she's angry with you, since she can almost kill you with her
eyes
then... But behind that dangerous attitude, she is affraid of men...
History: She was born in Lemos Hold, daughter
of a Headwoman and a Stablemanager. She
didn't like to hang around near the kitchens, since her mother desperately
wanted her to become her replacer when she grew older. She spent most of
her
time laying in the grass, looking at the animals and clouds. She also hung
out near her father a lot; he learnt her how to train runners and ride
them
proparly. when she was 10 turns old, she saw a feline, but it didn't realy
seem to like her, and put its claws in her shoulder. She still has
remains of
the scar in her left shoulder. When she was 12, she went to Healer Hall
at
Fort, praying she would become a healer, but since her memorie was
better than her healing skills, she was sent to the library to do
research. Altough she was still pretty young, she already drew a lot
male attention, but
she kind of ignored that. She had promised her heart to Sorin. Later
on,
she was sent on the field to search for new flowers that would help the
people
of Pern. While she was wandering around out there, she sang to herself
and
collected flowers she liked. She made a special perfume of them, and since
then, she always wears the same, soft essence that seems to calm down both
man and (certain) animals. There was one man, who just couldn't understand
she didn't love him, and that was Gayle, Fort's oldest Lord Holder's son. He asked his father permission to marry her, witch her got, never
caring if she
liked him or not. When she had just become 14, a Searchwing came to take
her to Fort Weyr to Stand, which she was very grateful up, since it would
give her a chance to escape Gayle, who couldn't leave the Hold. But she
didn't
Impress. When she heard about a clutch at Tanora Weyr, she asked one of
the
younger bronzeriders, who liked her a lot, to take her to Tanora Weyr.
At her
stand shere, she didn't Impress either, but S'rin did. She was very happy
for
him, but as soon as he had Impressed, he dropped her like a stone.
She wasn't
good for him anymore. Her heart was broken, but she tried to recover, which
she did, with her flit's help and some friends who didn't drop her.
