Harper, tell me of the road...
Username: dragon
Character Number: 1st
Name: Mersan
Age: 18 Turns
Birth Season: What season was your character born in?
Gender: female
Location:
Rank: Kitchen Worker/Candidate
Candidate for: Dragon and Wher, whichever is fine.
That leads beyond this hold...
Appearance: Mersan has dark skin, but two shades lighter. She is tall for her age. She stands at 6 feet even. And looks like she won't grow any more. She is not lanky, as someone with her height might look. She's healthy and muscled. She weighs 195 pounds, with some fluxuation between 190 and 200. She has an exotic look about her. Her face is heart shaped, and her eyes, light brown, are a bit slanted with the outer corners of her eyes moved upwards. Her eyebrows are naturally thin and shaped. She prefers to wear clothing that will allow her to move easily, whether she is walking or helping with some other task that requires a range of movement. She usually has long brown hair reaching to the middle of her back, but she's cut it to her shoulders to manage it better. She usually has it back in a runner's tail to keep the majority of it from getting into her face when she's working. She typically wears earthy colors, browns, greens, golds, bronzes. She loves a belt that her brother bartered to get for her 15th birthing day. She wears it with everything. It's black with silver tooled studs.
That wends its way around the hill...
Personality: In anyone's mind, there can be many things that are said about them, to their face or behind their backs. Well, with Mersan, if you piss her off, she'll talk up a storm about you behind your back. And most of it will be made up. She has thrown out the 'patience is a virtue' saying right out the door. In her mind, if you hurt her badly enough, she'll pay you back for it. Payback. Nice girl, eh? Hardly. If she's frustrated about something, she has no qualms about cursing, and frequently if the mood suites her. She doesn't care one wit about manners or being a proper Lady. Who the flip cares?
She loves Dragons and Whers. She can't really settle on one, if asked to do so. She thinks both have traits that benefit Pern and will not tolerate someone down talking the Dragons or Whers. She doesn't like chores or her kitchen work, but when it boils down to it, she will do them and do them well. She doesn't like it when someone takes their time doing something, because then she has to wait for them to get done, especially when her tasks can't get done until they do. She hates being sick, and she'll whine and complain about it until she's better and out of the Infirmary. She has a great deal of respect for Healers, but she just never liked being sick.
If asked if she took an item that has become missing, she'll get really peeved. Not because she stole it, but because someone would have the audacity to acuse her of stealing it. And she hates anyone that does steal. She understands that a few situations might warrant it, but she feels that it's not something that anyone should do. She loves to swim, if the weather would allow her too. She hates tunnelsnakes with a passion, but she won't wait for anyone to kill it for her. She'll kill it herself. There are very few things that could make her act like a 'girl'. She is tough when she has to be, and can tolerate pain a little bit more than a few others.
It is rare, but when she is alone and caught unawares, she has a vulnerable look to her, making her look younger than she actually is. She hates tyrannical people. People that just love to torment others. She hates them and will do anything to help the lower people if she can. She hates anyone that would consider harming animals in any way, shape or form. And she'll give them a good one, two. Punches that is. Did you like getting punched? No? Good. Do you think the animal did? No? Then don't do it again! She can get riled enough to literally start a fight with someone. (Inspiration: 'Can't be Tamed' by Miley Cyirus)

Ex-Lover:
Kerose, 21, Cook, Fort Weyr
Background: There was no love between Meras and K'ran, only understanding and companionship. Dragonriders of Fort Weyr, Brown Tsath would catch green Inyth during some of her fligts, but not every one of them. And that didn't seem to bother their Riders at all. And it was during one of the flights that Mersan was conceived. And almost immediately, she was tossed to the Creche upon her birth. And was soon followed by two more siblings, also four half siblings, though her mother lost two, one still born, the other was a misscarriage. Mersan learned to take care of herself in the Creche and would often be asked to help with young children. She enjoyed helping them out.
She never gave much thought during that time about if she wanted to impress. She just felt like helping out and living life day to day. As she grew up, she couldn't help but wonder about the new Dragon colors that began to show in hatchings. What did the new colors mean? She hopes that the new colors mean more help in fighting Thread. As soon as she was old enough, she began to work in the Kitchens, loving to be around food and help feed everyone. A secret way for her to look after her parents, whether they wanted her to or not.
She was barely twelve turns when her mother and father were both killed during Threadfall. She didn't shed a tear, at least not in public. She cried herself to sleep for several nights. The only person who knew, was the Headwoman. But nothing was ever said. As far as little Mersan knew, no one had heard her crying. She didn't enter into any apprenticeships, prefering to stay in the Kitchens as a Worker. She felt appreciated by the Headwoman and looked up to her. She was no stranger to Dragons, being exposed to them by being born in the Weyr.
Nothing really interesting happed for the rest of her life. Everything was going fine for her. She met her lover, Kerose, two turns ago. He'd just joined the ranks of the Cooks and she fell in love with him hard. But it seemed like he had fallen for her just as hard. But there was a flip side to him. Kerose was bisexual. And she hadn't known that, until she'd come to their shared room with him in bed with another guy. When she got a gook look at the other guy, it was her brother, Raneras! She didn't have the heart to stay with Kerose if he continued to see her brother. Kerose said he wouldn't see Raneras further. But unknown to her, he was still sleeping with her brother.
Two months ago, Mersan found she was pregnant, but she lost the baby to misscarriage at nine weeks, last sevenday to be exact. It left her scared and fearful of having children as she gets older. A woman can only handle one miscarriage in her life, right? Though, she put on a face when around other people, pushing herself to keep herself going half of the time. And since she's missed the most recent hatching of Tiamath's and Faramorth's eggs, she's determined not to miss the next hatching. But she stood and didn't impress. She heard of a new Weyr being opened. She put in a transfer for the new Weyr.
