Name: Maika
Age: 13, but she looks 16, born in early Spring
Sex and Gender: female
Sexual and Romantic Orientations: straight
Species: FoxTailed
Rank and Craft: Candidate(soon to be). apprentice Fisherman(woman?)
Place of Birth: Garnet Hold
Current Location: Garnet Hold, until she is Searched
Family: Malana, mother, age 35, housewife. Ikataro, father, age 34, Master Fisherman. Older brother, Ik'tamal, age 18, rider of Purple Azurath
Pets: Brown flit Taro, 1 Turn of age. unusually large Bronze flit Aki, Hatchling.
Hair: Red locks that fall in a straight curtain down her back, stopping midway between her shoulders and hips. She does sometimes have it tied up in a ribbon or other hair band.
Eyes: Pale amber, bordering on gold.
Height and Build: She is tall for her age, at 5'4", and is slender.
Appearance: Maika's most noticeable feature is her long red hair. It has a strange coloring, which matches her red fox ears, rounded points like their WolfTailed cousins, and red tail. She does often have it tied up in a ribbon or hair band, but will leave it down for special occasions like feasts or Hatchings. She is tall, standing at a good 5'4", and her slender build makes her quick on her feet. She is nimble, able to swerve through large crowds with apparent ease. . Her eyes, like her mother's, are a pale amber that borders on gold. She never wears makeup of any kind, thinking that there will be someone out there who loves her for how she looks without anything changing her face. She usually wears dark, natural colors, as they go rather well with her red hair and pale eyes. Her skin is an olive tone, which also goes well with darker colors. She is surprisingly well developed, physically, for a normal thirteen-Turn-old girl.
Personality: Maika is a rather sombre child, this generating from the belief that she has to live up to her elder brother, who Impressed when he was only fifteen. She appears to have grown up rather quickly. She is a good swimmer, having been taught since she was a little girl by her Master Fisherman father. She loves sitting outside and watching the stars, thinking of the stories that her mother would tell her about pictures the stars make. She loves nature, but is afraid of the large wild felines.
She can fish with nets as well as her hands, so she would be able to care for herself if she and her dragon got lost in the wild somewhere. She is able to take charge in a crisis, but can be a bit on the sly side. She appears to be older than she is, as she had her growth spurt early, but she never tells others her real age. She tends to watch over the younger children when their parents are away on short day fishing trips, and actually works well with others. She knows when to follow and when to lead.
However, she can have a bit of a temper. She likes things going her way. If something doesn't go the way she wants it to, she quietly seethes with anger until she's able to get somewhere by herself to think things through. If her head is clouded with anger or frustration, she needs a solid mind to be there and help her keep calm and think things through. She despises spiders and snakes, though she loves dragons. She loves the water mammals that sometimes come to the Hold's shore during the summer. She gets a bit snappy when someone goes against her words, but is in the process of learning how to reign that particular trait in.
In all actuality, Maika is really very playful and energetic. She just had to grow up too quickly.
History: Maika was born in Garnet Hold, and has lived there all her life. She began learning to swim when she was only three Turns old. Her elder brother, Ik'tamal, then Ikatamal, was five Turns old when Maika was born. They lived rather happily for a few Turns, despite the looming threat of Thread.
Maika was ten Turns when her brother was Searched by a BlueRider and taken to Cat's Paw Weyr. He wrote to them, saying that he Impressed a Purple only a Turn after his arrival.
Maika was eleven Turns old when she was out with friends one day. Thread fell for the first time, and without them noticing. They did not see the Threshold as it came nearer to them. The others managed to find an old stone cave, previously used as a storage cave, that had been abandoned a few Turns ago. They managed to keep safe in the cave, but they saw a dragon land nearby, Ichor dripping from it's wing. ThreadFall had stopped, so the small group of kids ventured from the cave to meet with the Rider. He explained to them more about Thread and the dangers it presented, then the Rider and Dragon walked with the children back to the Hold. All around, there were people who hadn't been expecting ThreadFall and had gotten caught in it, just like the kids. They passed one of the Holdless, who had been residing not far from the Hold. He was dead, Thread had gone through him. They were careful to stay near the Hold from then on.
Maika was twelve when she was playing at a friend's house. Her friend's mother was the proud owner of a Gold flit, who happened to have Clutched about a month before. The eggs were Hatching, so all the children came to see if they would Impress a flit. Maika Impressed a little Brown, on the small side, and named him Taro.
Just recently, there has been word of another Search coming. Maika wonders if she will be Searched this time. She knows she looks older than she really is, being tall for her age.
Candidacy Opinions: She was surprised when she was Searched, but does expect to Impress to something.
Candidate's Preferred Color: She loves the way a Silver looks, but really just wants to bring honor to her family.
Your Preferred Color: Well, I would like to see her with a Queen, maybe an Onyx or Silver, but I think that one of the Nocturnals might fit her best.
Injury: Injury is fine with me, as long as it doesn't kill her. If they end up wounding her to get to her, that's okay too. As long as she can recover and be a Rider, I'm fine. So... No killing, and no serious injuries that would prevent her from Flying in the Queen's Wing later in life. Nothing incapacitating.
