Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Zirza
Birthdate: 20.07.168
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Boys have germs, girls... are okay?
Role/rank: Candidate/Weyrbrat
Origin: Fort Weyr

Appearance: Everything about this girl is dark. Dark skin, dark hair, dark eyes... even her clothing choices tend to be dark. Her rounded face and big eyes make her look much younger than her turns, as well as her rather flat chest. She is short at only 5'1", but she is muscled and strong. She has a pale scar down her face, from the corner of her left eye to her jawline.

Personality: Punch first and ask questions later! Zirza uses her fists to solve her problems whenever she can get away with it. She's quick to anger and quick to action, so it's easy to tease and taunt her to the point that a superior will have to get involved. Her childish way of dealing with everything that irks her has made it difficult for her to make friends, so she tends to rely on herself and question the motives of others. If someone does happen to gain Zirza's trust, she will protect them like a guard dog. Zirza has a tender spot for the young and weak as well, so her temper can be turned to a good cause if she's defending someone who can't defend themselves. The Weyr can only hope that she calms down as she ages, as she would make a great fighter if she didn't get so carried away.

History: Zirza grew up like many other weyrbrats do - in the creche. From the get go she was not a social or affectionate child, and when other kids would be playing make believe or being read stories, she was busy throwing rocks at servants or running away to places a kid had no business being in the Weyr. As she neared 8 turns, she started picking fights with older kids to prove to anyone and everyone that she was tough stuff. Some of these fights ended badly, and her facial scar is an example of when things began to go very wrong. The near loss of her eye snapped sense into her when no punishments or chores could, so she gradually stopped purposefully starting fights, though she was still involved in many scraps over the turns.

At 15 turns, she was finally deemed ready to Stand, as she was held back in hope her behaviour would stabilize. Perhaps a dragon would curb the last of her temper and open her eyes to the wider problems of the world.
