Evanthe
Description
Light blond hair falls straight and slightly unkempt from Evanthe's head, brushing just past her shoulders. The elfin face it frames still has the roundness of youth, with fair skin still showing the signs of blemishes here and there at the temples and hairline. Her face is expressive with gray eyes under dark eyebrows, a rounded nose, and a mouth whose natural sweetness is to often prone to sullenness. Poor girl looks even younger than the seventeen-turn-old she is, an impression that isn't helped much by her short stature and slight build.
She wears, on a body that is all slim straight lines, a knit gray sweater that doesn't fit, too large for her slightness - a hand-me-down, made to serve with sleeves rolled up to her forearms. The sweater hits her mid-thigh, over fitted brown pants tucked into cracked, worn ankle boots. As just a small nod to femininity, she has a thin chain around her neck, with a small gray stone in the hollow of her throat.
WYSK
Came to the weyr with few skills and is probably best known to the lower caverns workers... likely memorable as a foul-mouthed, belligerent nuisance.
History
Born at Crom Hold to a miner and a weaver, along with several siblings who are notable overachievers, only making her own lot in life a whole lot harder. She didn't particularly excel at any one thing, and anything she did take an interest in, one of her siblings could probably do better - the most notable of these sibling rivalries was with her sister, Avetha, who was the golden child.
Evanthe was close to her father and had his support, and his belief. Her mother, Vana, on the other hand, gave up on her pretty early on, with such declarations as "I don't know what we'll do with you," and "Why can't you be more like 'so-and-so'." It was therefore quite a blow when Evanthe's father died in a mining accident.
Without much reason to stay at Crom, and her other children well-established and excelling in each of their individual crafts, Evanthe and her mother popped from place to place for awhile as Vana took weaving commissions. However, shortly before Evanthe turned seventeen, her big sister achieved her journeyman's knot at Harper Hall and requested a posting at High Reaches Weyr. Privately, Evanthe suspects it has something to do with bronze riders and the success her sister has with batting her eyelashes. Whatever the reason, Vana couldn't be more proud of Avetha, and soon had dragged Evvy along with her to High Reaches, where Evanthe settled in as a talentless grouch...
Until, in an evening of slight desperation, Evanthe asked Aishani to let her stand for Hraedyth's clutch. To her surprise, it was as simple as that - she was a candidate. The result was not quite what her fantasy was. A small, misshapen brown hatched and claimed her on the sands - bonding her forever with Zvaraseth.
