Name: Nysta
Gender: Female
Age: 15, born in the first month
Rank: Weyrfolk, kitchen worker; possible accidental Candidate
At first glance, Nysta doesn’t seem very feminine though she still has a definite girlish look about her. Her hair is cropped short for a girl, just touching the nape of her neck. The base shade is brassy blonde with highlights from being in the sun. The roots, however, are more brownish and will probably get darker as she gets older.
Her eyes are a simple shade of grey-blue but are usually hidden beneath her long bangs. She’s often told that she has very pretty eyes and should wear more make-up to accentuate it but she very rarely does. Her lips are a pretty shade of pink but always make her look like she’s pouting. She tends to lick them more than necessary so they’re almost always chapped.
Her skin is pale but freckles easily. She has many splotches on her shoulders, forearms, and across her nose where the sun hits her the most. Her hands are long and boney with short fingernails. Most would think she’d be excellent at playing an instrument but the truth is that she’s very clumsy with them and often has no idea what to do with them. As such, she usually keeps them in a pocket or crosses her arms.
Around her room, she’s usually barefoot and the soles of her feet are usually black. She either wears light sandals or light boots and detests anything clunky on her feet.
Speaking of clothing, she’s seen in all types of things depending on her mood. She enjoys wearing long skirts on windy days, perhaps with pants underneath if it’s chilly. For tops, she’s not against baring her shoulders but usually wears slightly longer sleeves thanks to her tendency to be cold most of the time. Her preferred colors are blues, greens, and purples though if it’s pretty enough, she’s sure to wear it.
Nysta sees life as a journey, a journey that’s sometimes full of hardship and pain, but one that be fun and enjoyable with the right attitude. She’s naïve, often to a fault. Political scandals rarely interest her and neither do rumors and other gossip. She’s open-minded and willing to give anyone a chance. While introverted in the fact that she ‘recharges’ by spending time alone, she’s isn’t shy and enjoys getting to know people even if very few of them end up being a close friend. She’s friendly, yes, but rarely feels the need to confide in others. She prides herself in being able to figure out her own problems with very little outside help.
She’s pleasant to work with an be around and is generally not too eccentric. However, she seems to be dissatisfied with being a kitchen worker and has dreams of specializing in her one love, making pastries and candies. But since these things are luxuries on Pern, her dream will most likely go unrealized and she’ll live her days making bread and serving klah (really tasty bread and klah, though.)
Thanks to the hormones flooding her system, she goes through bursts of hot-headedness and other extreme emotions. She also holds grudges against those who take advantage of her kindness and has a bit of a superiority complex. Capricious is a good term to describe her, calm and sweet alternating with sharp-tongued and angry.
Nysta is a Holdbrat born and raised with strong family ties to Telgar Weyr. Her mother was Weyrbred and worked as an assistant Healer while her father was a Herdbeast keeper. They met at a gather and arranged a marriage soon after. Together, they only had one living child with the others being stillborn.
Nysta’s childhood was without much incident. She got in trouble, she got scrapes and scars and she skipped out on her duties more than a few times. She also enjoyed helping her mother and father with their work as well as spending her time trying other activities. It was soon discovered that her skills were in the kitchens where she could work calmly and efficiently under the stress. She was overall content with her life though she soon became restless for something different than the day-to-day, though honestly who doesn’t?
After Nysta’s father died from a heart attack a few months ago, her mother decided to move them back to the Weyr. She’s adjusted rather well to her new and busy life and is enjoying getting to know those who helped raise her mother. Her father’s death was unexpected but not traumatizing though she still mourns for him. He was a role model to her, a symbol of steadfastness and strength in her developing years.
Desired Colors & Why: Green.
I honestly can’t see her Standing for a Queen egg but if there’s room, I’d love to play her as ‘hey, let’s see the Hatching holy cow how did I walk out with a dragon following me around?’ Cliched, yes, but dragons don’t fit anywhere in her plans for the future so I think it’d cause for an interesting shift in responsibilities. Of course, I’m also content to let her just be a normal dragonless girl.
Requests: No requests except to maybe cause dramaomg with the accidental Impression.
