Name: Daegarethe
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Dae is short, only about 5’03” and has a stunted, pinched look about her that tells of hard labor without the support of a good diet. Her skin is a deep brown from long balmy days working outside with a thick spattering of freckles burned across the bridge of her nose and both cheeks. Daegarethe’s boney, wiry frame is tough as cord with muscles from a hard living. She lacks the curves and breasts that would give her a womanly shape; instead she is hard and lean like a physical embodiment of her personality.
Daegarethe is far from comely, and it would be very liberal to call her looks a little more then average. It is her eyes that set her apart; they are an uncommon vivid shade of green hazel. Her hair is a thin, lank, dark brown mop that hangs straight as a ruler to mid-back. She has a strong nose and chin that overshadow small lips. Her cheek bones are small and none too prominent.
Personality:
Daegarethe is a fighter, she had to be growing up where the weak had no place, you were either useful or you... weren’t. It has given her a short temper with people who are weak or unable to take care of themselves. Not from a lack of sympathy, but a lack of understanding, she is a deep believer of taking care of yourself first, so then you can help others. Anyone who isn’t taking care of themselves are then doing a disservice to themselves and the community.
She is a tenacious little creature as well. Not really stubborn as she can be acquiescing to other peoples demands. It is just that once Dae starts a projects she won’t give up. However these projects she starts are often times on a whim or with little forethought. It was a snap decision that made her a candidate, but she is someone who will back up her decisions with action.
Dae is someone who believes in living in the moment and to enjoy the little things in life. She has simple tastes, all that it takes to make her happy is a comfy place to curl up and watch life go by. Living in the moment and enjoying life as it is, not what it should be has gotten her by. She is fairly down to earth in fact, more quiet and a wall flower then her female counterparts but she has never felt the need to stand out socially, it is something that just dosen’t bother her.
Daegarethe normally isn’t an emotional person, but when pushed into a corner she has an ice cold temper, and a desire to inflict whatever drama or psychological harm she can on the ones who incited her. Immature? Yes. But Dae is human, and has her nasty habit of a bad temper
History:
If things progressed normally on Pern Daegarethe might have had a happy life. But as things are wont to do, life didn’t go as planned. Her father Jadil was the grandson of the Lord Holder of Bitra, son of the man expected to inherit, and Dae’s mother was a blue blooded Kajanoan, big hipped to squeeze out the dozen or so children that holders so like.
Her father had participated in a conspiracy with a few other men to kill the Lord Holder of Bitra turns before her birth, thinking it would put him in favor to inherit. However the plan went wrong and the Lord Holder survived. Rather then sentence his child and grandchild to death, he exiled them to a small island in the Eastern Ring. Dae’s parents Jadil and Rietta left their two sons with relatives in Kajano Hold, one of whom still lives there.
So rather then Bitra or Kajano Hold Daegarethe grew up on a small island in the Eastern Ring islands.
It was a tough living eking out an existence, separated from the rest of Pern, and with no hope of succor should anything go wrong. This perilous existence gave her the personality she has today, with little patience for nonsense or luxuries. There was just no place for it on the island. Their only link to the outside world was a rider who came every two turns merely to make sure they were still alive.
She is the eldest of seven children born on the island to her parents, and one of the oldest on the island. Dae took care of the younger children, farmed, fished and hunted; everything that was needed to be done. It was a small community and she had her place, she might be imperious and commanding of the younger children but she was a valuable worker.
The rest of her life might have gone on uneventfully, revolving around work and only broken by seasons and storms, were it not for her older brother Serabhil impressing a dragon after he was searched from Kajano.
The location of the island was secret but the young man, propelled to learn about his past and the family he never knew, was allowed to visit but only if he took no one off the island. It was a promise S’rabh found hard to keep, flying over the island his green Cerawuth informed him that there was true talent here, a presence that would make an excellent candidate. Who knew it would be his new found little sister Daegarethe?
S’rabh contemplated telling his superiors, but he was no accomplished search rider he worried his word would not be taken seriously. Would Dae really be enough of a talent to warrant breaking his word and risk the wrath of Holders?
S’rabh considered tricking a search rider into taking her off the island but after looking into an obscure part of the legal code he found that the children of those in exile could voluntarily leave after reaching their majority. After getting Daegarethe assessed by another Search Rider, T'ren, the two were confident enough to approach the higher ups to get Dae off the island and on the sands where he felt she belonged.
A few sevendays later approval was given and S’rabh retrieved the young woman. She brought no possessions and has started adjusting to a strange new world.
