KeistraName Pronounced: Kay-ee-struh Appearance: Standing at about 5'5, Keistra is considered average by those around her. She's leanly athletic in build and shows off a gracefulness in the way she walks. Her lean body is pale from living in the north though she does expect that she'll develop a bit of a tan staying at Arolos Weyr. Keistra's straight red/blond hair doesn’t make it to her shoulders and more often than not she has it pulled back with a black headband so her bangs don't get in her way. She has steady aquamarine eyes and a soft voice. Personality: Hardly a shy person, Keistra is none the less usually silent. She listens to all sides of a situation before stating her opinion so others tend to listen to her more. She's strongly opinionated about everything she participates in and his extremely passionate about her work as a dragonhealer even though she's only an apprentice. Keistra is sometimes headstrong when she sees something she thinks isn't right but always looks at both sides of a problem. Keistra is steady and calm in an emergency and rarely loses her cool. Despite her stubborn streak, Keistra is an infinitely gentle person. History: When Keistra was about 14, she lived through the deaths of both of her parents. Her mother Tiana was a greenrider and her father M'rin was a bluerider. After a particularly nasty threadfall, her mother's dragon Kitith was scored badly along with her rider and both jumped between. Her father and his blue Dorth were killed two years later in another fall. Because of these sad events, she isolated herself for a short time from the rest of the younger children in the Weyr Creche. A few weeks later, a benevolent cook from the kitchen noticed her isolation and began to befriend the girl and even offered to foster her. Having finally gotten her life back together after her parent’s deaths, she was a little hesitant when she was found and searched by a visiting Arolos Searchrider. Despite being a little apprehensive about leaving her home, she did agree and was taken to Arolos Weyr where she nervously awaits the next hatching. Information about Keistra's pets Pet Name: Aram Pet Type: Blue Firelizard Appearance: This blue is a very bright colored blue. When he is full grown he will be very stocky and strong. He wont be big but a medium size though that is more in his length not his height of his legs. His legs are strong but a little short. Personality: He is like a flame in the dark. His mind is very open to anything and he will be a quick learner for a blue. He is very quiet and would rather watch first then maybe act. When it comes to his bed he can be a little creative with ribbons and shiny things. Information about Keistra's dragon Dragon Name: Katicarth Colour: Green Age: 22 M Wing (Weyrling Group): Unforgettables (Adoptables Wing) Appearance: Katicarth is a mixture of green shades. The little green has a primarily dark hide; in a deep shade of forest green. She does, however, have paler streaks of green; a soft leaf green, all along her underside. Her multifaceted eyes uptilt slightly and, while still a bit awkward from her recent hatching, Katicarth may very well grow into a lovely, lithe, and agile little green. Personality: There are greens which serve as an easy reminder of why it is a good thing they cannot lay eggs. Katicarth wants to be motherly- she *tries* to be motherly.She will spend her life trying to take care of those smaller, younger and weaker than her, be they human or dragon, trying to set a good example to them. Weyr of Origin: Arolos Abilites and weaknesses: Since she doesn't like to flirt like other greens, Katicarth will be a focused thread fighter when she gets older. She'll get along well in a wing, that is unless she's paired with dragons she doesn't like. (Like green Phinth) Because of this, Keistra spends most of her time apologizing to other riders when Katicarth does something to insult another dragon. She's very single-minded about things she wants to do, but tends to get distracted easily. She's also extremely stubborn and often set in her ways; which usually makes her hard for Keistra to handle. Katicarth is extremely modest around males unless she's about to rise, but she's also moody. She has a temper, but never takes it out on her rider. Katicarth has a compassionete streak a mile wide but doesn't usually use it the way she should.
