Name: Bellyra (Pronounced: Bell-I-Ra)
Age: 18
Rank: (Wish to be a candidate)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Hetero
Looks: Bellyra has long, dark brown hair and dark brown eyes to match. She's not your conventional beauty and to be honest, you probably wouldn't look at her twice unless forced to, though don't believe she's hideous! Bellyra is a practically inclined girl and so puts little effort into her appearance, preferring comfortable trousers and shirts to dresses any day. Her long hair is normally drawn back into a ponytail of sorts and her hair, despite it's length waves and curls just ever so slightly. She has a light build, due to her love of walking and is generally quite slim as she's an active sort, but I suppose growing up on a farm will do that to you.
Personality: Her practical dress sense reflects her practical mind. Bellyra loves books and whilst outwardly shy, she aspires to become confident and outgoing like the scores of heroes she's read about. She loves logic and puzzles and secretly loves a challenge. She is sensitive and has empathy and kindness in spades, creating a precarious mix in her personality of cool, hard logic and warm, passionate emotive qualities.
History: Bellyra has lived on a farm all of her life. Her mother died in child-birth when Bellyra was born, leaving Bellyra with her father as her only family. It is because of this that Bellyra is so practically minded, hardworking and 'outward-bound'. Her father has always said that Bellyra was the spitting image of her mother and that she had her mother's heart, something that she takes comfort in to this day. She loves animals and the great outdoors, but most of the time you will find a book in her hand, no matter where she is!
Her searching had been more of a shock to those around her than herself, at least this was the outward appearance, internally Bellyra was just as shocked as the rest of them. She, the only one to be searched for three fields over! Some of the other teens near her farm had looked on jealously, why should she, the quiet bookworm get chosen? The kids had looked on in awe more than anything and the adults had looked up in stunned silence for a moment before returning to their work, afterall that was the important thing to them, the livlihood.
At first she didn't say anything, she simply closed her book and rose to her feet in attention. She hadn't known what possessed her body to force itself into a curtsey, but that's what she'd done and the dragon that had searched her looked at her with amusement. Little else was said, Bellyra had always been a girl of few words, and instinct seemed to take hold more than she'd expected from the limited rumours and stories that had reached her.
Time from that point to arriving in the Weyr was still a bit of a blur. Her father had all but insisted she go, make a better life for herself and all that. Only time could tell if that would hold true. As for her first impressions? It was simply beautiful, different in beauty from her home, but home would always hold a very special place in her heart for that's where she considered her mother's spirit to be. The weyr was an extremely close second though and this fact but her, for once, nervous heart to rest just enough for her not to be a nervous wreck every moment of the day. It was peaceful too and she had a feeling that both of her homes would occupy her heart for time to come.
Applying for candidate:
