Name:Maliana
Gender:female
Age:22
Rank:I'd like to try for Headwoman,but if I can't get that rank then she'll just be Weyrfolk.
Description:Maliana doesn't exactly fit most people's definiton of "pretty". She has long,stringy brown hair the color of mud,and a gawky figure that you wouldn't really expect from a 19 year old,if you know what I mean. She is average height for a girl,standing at about 5'3,and is quite thin,though it looks natural,not as if she's been on a diet for days. Her eyes are her best feature,a unique almond shape,and a strange olive green color.
Personality:When you first see Maliana,your first impression is that she is a shy mouse,not inclined to be outspoken at all. Well,that's definitely a wrong perception. Although she doesn't speak up without a good reason,and rarely has outbursts,she always objects when something is wrong in a situation. She'll be the first to say something if someone is doing something wrong,and best of all she does it in a manner that isn't insulting to the person in question. Also,Maliana is exteremly stubborn,and if she wants to get something done no one can stop her from acheiving it. One last charcteristic is that she loves animals,and cares greatly about every creature,from te best firelizard to the ugliest wher,and even helped a wherry with a broken wing once. However,she could never be a dragonrider,because her worst fear is heights-she freaks out being only a little bit elevated off the ground!
History:Her history contains nothing special nor tradgedic. She was born in small sea-hold,and grew up happily with her 3 sisters and 1 brother. Her parents were a fishercrafter and a Holder,and all of her siblings were aspiring to become dragonriders,and they always picked on Maliana for her fear of heights. However,it never got to her too much,and what could've developed into a sob story didn't. When she became older,she went to the larger Hold near the Weyr and now lives there.
Roleplay Sample:The smells of cooking filled the Weyr's kitchen,and drudges ran hither and thither trying to complete some of the Hatching feast ahead of time. Maliana stood at the center of it all,pleased to be involved with such a project as the Hatching feast. However,there was no doubt that she was anxious,because she was entitled to view the Hatching in the spectator stands and was looking forward to the big event. She was well aware that not everyone got to watch the dragon hatchings,and what an honor this was!
Suddenly,Maliana's thoughts were broken by an intense humming that filled the Weyr and seemed to make the place vibrate. She nearly jumped out of her skin with surprise. The hatching was beggining! Leaving hurried insturctions for the feast to the drudges,Maliana ran outside to wait for the dragon that would carry her to the Hatching Grounds. Soon a Brown dragon arrived and Maliana mounted. She would have preferred to walk instead of _fly_,what with her fear of heights,but it obviously wasn't possible. Taking a deep breath and bracing herself for being airborne,she sat rigidly on the dragons neck as they flew into the hatching caverns. Nearly leaping off as soon as the dragon landed,she hasitly took her seat in the stands and anxiously wiated for the first egg to hatch.
A crack appeared on a large egg,and soon the thing was rocking for all its worth. Soon enough larger cracks appeared and a wing appeared,followed by the whole dragonet. It was a Bronze! Such a thing was supposed to be good luck...this was going to be an interesting Hatching!

I thought it would be interesting to play someone who wasn't a dragonrider.
