Description

Faryn looks smug by default, at work or at rest, and that's what's easy to notice first. Narrow-faced with dark hair, sharp, interesting features and a smirk that has taken up permanent residence, it is easy to believe she might be enjoying a joke at the expense of whomever or whatever her dark eyes have seen fit to light upon at that particular moment. It can be galling, too, because at five-feet-four, she still somehow manages to carry herself with an air that suggests not only an ability to defend any enjoyment she might be having, but a willingness. Though slender and lean, weighing barely more than seven stone if anything over at all, she is tough at a glance, (over)confident in bearing, and ostensibly scrappy if the need arises.

WYSK

• Sr. Apprentice Beastcrafter turned weyrwomen's assistant.
• Keeps a betting ledger on all things weyr-life, from flights to hatchings and everything between, and a deck of cards for all the other times.
• Stood for Niahvth and Reisoth's clutch D25 M7 T37, and failed to Impress.
• Bristly on the outside, but soft and cuddly on the inside.

History

Faryn was born in Ista Weyr to then-Weyrsecond Fadra, rider of brown Sulizath. Although she spent her first few Turns at the weyr, in the care of various nursemaids and nannies, by the time she was four she was fostered in her mother's place of origin in Tillek, with her sailor father. She grew up working alongside him and her several half-siblings, and was put on a boat early at the insistence of both her parents, an ordeal which ended abruptly when it became abundantly clear that she was unable to stomach being at sea for any long period of time, despite her best efforts. She was banished and landbound after that, where she dabbled among the master craftsmen of Tillek in an attempt to find her niche. Vintner failed her astoundingly, as did the Healerhall, and eventually it was the Beastcraft that took her in and helped her flourish.

Her formative years were spent in the Beasthall in Keroon, where she was apprenticed with each of the crafters until it became clear her talents would be best used with the runners and other herdbeasts, with whom she had a natural knack and unique rapport. Her assignment in the stables was doubly appropriate when she stopped growing at the extremely modest height of five-feet-four, making her the perfect jockey height, a fact that was lost on nobody, least of all Faryn. At fifteen, she began racing the runners with her peers, a thing she proved to have a talent for, and a hobby she indulged in frequently despite being told often to stop it right now. She never listened, and in fact did not stop racing until she was forced to, first by the Storm of Turn 36. Shortly after, she was posted to High Reaches Weyr as a senior apprentice, with the not-so-subtle suggestion that she would need to start focusing her behavior on productive points if she wanted to earn enough trust to remain in the craft and eventually walk the tables.

So, of course, in Turn 37, she Stood for a clutch instead, even despite progress made in both responsibility and maturity. Where Faryn took to her duties in the weyr well, with both due respect and exceeding capability, she nevertheless was eventually persuaded to Stand after being Searched, first by Quinlys' Olveraeth and then by K'zin and Rasavyth. And ultimately, she failed to Impress. Being left Standing left Faryn confused, with shaken confidence and very directionless. As her friends moved into weyrlinghood with their new lifemates, she remained a wildly spinning compass, unable to determine a path for her future, except the vagary of wanting to do something different, something useful and something better than her work in the stables.

Relationships

Family

• Fadra - Ista - My goal isn't to make you proud, it's to make sure I don't end up as jaded as you have.

High Reaches

• Drex - I figure Farideh could do worse than you. And you could do worse than her, too.
  
• Edyis - I'm always glad to talk to you, and glad to listen. I'm sure you'll find your niche again, it just is unlikely to be what you expect.
  
• Farideh - You have the dedication to be a good weyrwoman. Now it's just buffing out the scuffs. Lots of scuffs.
  
• H'vier - Next time you put your hands on me, you won't get a warning. How someone like you has made it this long in life gives me little hope.
  
• Irianke - You're a fine weyrwoman, yeah, but I don't see what everyone else does. You make me nervous, on an instinctual level.
  
• Jo - Don't take it wrong when I say you kind of remind me of my mom. In this case, it's a good thing. You're good people.
  
• K'zin - I appreciate all you've done for me - you're a good guy.
  
• T'mic - I think you love me, and I'm sorry for that.
  
• Quinlys - Time to start betting on Irianke, it seems.
  
• R'hin - Chances are, your interest in me will come to nothing good, but you've guided me more than I thought you would. Asshole.
  
• Z'kiel - As friends go, having one as low maintenance and prone to grunting as you are can't be anything but in my favor.

Character Extras

Myers-Briggs: The Adventurer/Composer

Meyers-Briggs Type: ISFP
Variant: Assertive               Role: Explorer
Strengths: Passionate, curious, sensitive to others, imaginative        Weaknesses: Fiercely independent, unpredictable, competitive, fluctuating self-esteem

"The biggest challenge facing ISFPs is planning for the future. Finding constructive ideals to base their goals on and working out goals that create positive principles is no small task. Unlike Sentinel types, ISFPs don't plan their futures in terms of assets and retirement. Rather, they plan actions and behaviors as contributions to a sense of identity, building a portfolio of experiences, not stocks."
