RyaName Pronounced: RYE-ah Appearance: Rya's slender form stands around 5'5", though she's still growing. Red-brown hair falls to just past her shoulders, framing a tan face that holds a straight nose, blue eyes, and a delicate-looking chin. Her bust is rather small, which can be a problem when trying to make a good outfit work. Her hands and feet seem to contradict each other... while her hands are of average size with slightly long, slender fingers, her feet are wide and anything but delicate. To make matters worse, the big toe on each foot tends to raise up (usually when she's walking), although it's more pronounced on her right foot. The problem causes her to inadvertently poke holes in her footwear far too often (unless they're very well made). Personality: Though some believe her to be antisocial, Rya is really just reserved. She's known for quietly watching and listening to everyone, to learn what she can about them, before daring to attempt to interact with them... unless they approach her first, of course, as that would take the pressure of making first contact off of her. She'll be respectful to everyone (at least to their face), but any who become close enough to be considered a friend will find that she can be caring, honest, helpful, a bit sensitive, and not very good at hiding her emotions. Although she can quite easily handle being in a large crowd (such as at a Gather or feast), when it comes to hanging out with anyone she prefers small groups of friends, rather than large, boisterous parties. History: Born in a cothold in Nerat, Rya grew up swimming in the sea with her two sisters. Being the middle child, she found herself accused of her sisters' wrongdoings (as the younger was "too little to have done it" and the older was "old enough to know better"). Information about Rya's pets Pet Name: Varyn Pet Type: Blue Firelizard Appearance: Varyn is a handsome fellow, with a beautiful deep blue hide - the color of a sapphire, but darker in shade - interposed with patches of an even darker blue. The effect resembles the shadow of leaves falling across deep, still water. And indeed, Varyn will have a special knack for blending in with the shadows. Personality: Playful and clever, Varyn is a born trickster and mischief maker. Thankfully, his tricks are generally benign and not meant to cause any real harm - save, perhaps, to a person’s dignity. And yet, he doesn’t get into as much trouble as you’d think, by the simple expedience of not getting caught very often. He’s an active, energetic creature, always flitting about, poking his snout into this or that. But for a flit who seems disinclined to sit still, he can be surprising sneaky and adept at escaping notice. Rya is a candidate.
