Character Name: Wykla
Age: 12 Turns (In truth been 12 turns for about a month.)
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Craft/Rank: Candidate/Weyrbrat
History:
Wykla never knew who her father or mother was. If she’s ever met them she didn’t know it and treated them like any other Weyrfolk. During her earlier years, Wykla was raised with the other young weyrbrats in the crèche. Unlike the others, she preferred to spend her time playing quietly. Most game she invented for herself or others were meant for being quiet. Because of this she was lost in the background and played by herself. This suited her just fine.
Once she was allowed out into the Weyr on her own the first thing she did was go exploring. Anywhere she could get to had to be found and examined. She discovered several secluded spots that she liked to call her own. When Wykla wanted to be alone these were where she went.
When Wykla was big enough she wandered to the top of the Weyr where the herdbeasts for the dragons and runners were kept. After several days of observation she picked up a brush for the runners and slipped into a stall. Luckily it was a placid mare that had no problem being brushed. The main caretaker happened by and noticed her. He didn’t say anything then, but later pulled her aside to caution her of the dangers. She enjoyed spending time quietly with the runners.
Now Wykla has just celebrated her 12th turn. Word recently circulated the Weyr that the gold had finished laying her clutch. She, like any other weyrbrat, had to go peak at the eggs. Uncertainty had filled her chest at the sight of the eggs. Would she be considered old enough to stand? To Impress?
Description:
Wykla still has some growing up to do. She’s flat chested not that she minds much right now. Very skinny and at only four feet tall she can be described as lanky or unfinished. Her clothes tend towards earth tones with an obvious favoring of black. Long pants are definitely preferred to skirts. Sturdy boots and a shirt with sleeves she can roll back complete her daily outfit.
Her skin when she doesn’t spend much time outside is an off white. Odd eyes often cause remark. One is pale sky blue while the other is a dark hazel. However, her most prized feature is her long, lustrous black hair. It cascades down her back in large waves to reach the small of her back.
Personality:
Wykla comes off as a solemn and self contained child because of her quiet nature around large groups of people. However, she’s just being shy with unfamiliar people. When she firsts meets someone she may act wary until she realizes they wont hurt her. As her comfort level increases she can be something of a chatterbox. She will go out of her to do a good deed for a friend if s/he is deserving of one. Wykla doesn’t like mean people and will tend to spur them. She doesn’t much care for the tradition Weyrs and feels they’re being mean to the dragons by not helping them hatch.
Her personal hobbies include skipping chores, hair vanity, tending Boreal, and hair vanity. Skipping chores isn’t because she’s a bad kid, simply unguided. She doesn’t have a direction and doesn’t realize the importance of chores. In short, she’s a young kid. Wykla loves to pamper her hair and Boreal about equally. She enjoys the responsive little flit when she baths and oils him. If nothing else, Wykla has a hair vanity. Hers specifically. She loves to spend hours, if needed, washing, drying, and styling her hair. It must have a luminous glow and fall perfectly whether framing her face or dancing in the breeze. During these times, she seems much like an airhead.
When it comes to doing chores, Wykla doesn’t have much she excels in. Anyone can sweep or change glows. These are simply a necessary evil and must be endured. That is until she can slip away. If not watched closely, Wykla will find something else she’d rather do. Her least favorite chore involves anything in the kitchens. She hates being sent to them for any reason.
Her least favorite chore is cooking and for good reason. Anything she makes or helps prepare doesn’t taste right. Even with someone right over her shoulder it always comes out wrong. At first look, Wykla doesn't appear to have any strengths. She's not particularly strong, she doesn't have a prefect gift with animals, and she certainly can't cook. On closer inspection one realizes that she has a fairly excellent mind when it comes to problem solving. This is particularly true when she’s finding ways to get out of an undesirable chore.
Because she has a tendency to do her own thing it brings down the wrath of authority. Her problem with authority is a problem in itself. She doesn’t like to obey just anyone. When she is given an order by someone important, such as the Weyrleader, she will tend to obey almost immediately. However when the order is given by somebody not so important she tends to snub them. If she can get away with it, she’ll just walk away. Otherwise she’ll appear to do what was asked then slip off the first moment they’re not looking. When she gets caught and called out on her failure to do something she is sullen and belligerent. Often arguing back with who ever to try and get herself out of it.

I went through and revamped Wykla's personality. Could someone give it a check over and make sure it's still a-ok?

Slayer and I have decided to make our chars long-lost fraternal twins. I took this to also update her history in general.
Wykla never knew who her father or mother was. If she’s ever met them she didn’t know it and treated them like any other Weyrfolk. During her earlier years, Wykla was raised with the other young weyrbrats in the crèche. Unlike the others, she preferred to spend her time playing quietly. Most game she invented for herself or others were meant for being quiet. Because of this she was lost in the background and played by herself. This suited her just fine.
Once she was allowed out into the Weyr on her own the first thing she did was go exploring. Anywhere she could get to had to be found and examined. She discovered several secluded spots that she liked to call her own. When Wykla wanted to be alone these were where she went.
When Wykla was big enough she wandered to the top of the Weyr where the herdbeasts for the dragons and runners were kept. After several days of observation she picked up a brush for the runners and slipped into a stall. Luckily it was a placid mare that had no problem being brushed. The main caretaker happened by and noticed her. He didn’t say anything then, but later pulled her aside to caution her of the dangers. She enjoyed spending time quietly with the runners.
Now Wykla has just celebrated her 12th turn. Word recently circulated the Weyr that the gold had finished laying her clutch. She, like any other weyrbrat, had to go peak at the eggs. Uncertainty had filled her chest at the sight of the eggs. Would she be considered old enough to stand? To Impress? Despite her uncertainties, the young weyrbrat was on the sands for Gold Feynath's Alpha Clutch. She watched dragonet after dragonet Impress to her fellow candidates. Wykla was not destined to find her dragon among this clutch, and received instead a scoring on her right thigh. Her recent acquaintance Ralae Impressed to Green Zabreth.
A turn older, her second chance to stand came around in Gold Ianath's Delta Clutch. Several of the candidates she knew, Jarest, Pazzult, and Mercy, all Impressed dragons. Much to her surprise, Wykla Impressed Blue Kameth. A Turn later and the pair was a full fledged wingrider. Life had been going pretty normal until she encounter another girl, named Enyo, in the Weyr. The thing that struck her was her two colored eyes; so much like her own. Enyo was also fourteen when they met. What they didn’t know was that they were fraternal twins.
Their father was a brown rider and their mother a green rider. She had found herself pregnant after her green had a Flight. Spuriously, she decided to have her baby(for she didn’t yet know she was having twins) and had even found a foster parent for the child. When Wykla and Enyo were born they were split up into different homes. The girls were never told they had a twin.

This is fine, but as I said to Slayer please keep in mind how rare rider mothers are; most would miscarry very early (before there was any way to know they were pregnant) due to going between on a regular basis. Illness or injury to rider or dragon could keep a woman grounded and allow her to find out she was pregnant, but this would be rare and shouldn't be used often <3
