Name: Alethea
Age: 18
Rank: journeyman healer/Candidate
Gender: female
Sexuality: Hetero
Appearance: Alethea has curly black hair, around chin length, in loose ringlets. Her skin is a light butterscotch color, and her eyes are cocoa brown. She's about 5'5", with a lean boyish build. Alethea will probably never be curvy. She has a young face, straight brows, a slightly wide nose and a small slightly cleft chin. Her mouth has a bit of feminine sensuality to it, and seems to indicate that when she has a few more turns, she'll be fairly pretty. Her clothes are a bit on the flamboyant side in style, she likes bright colors and loose fabrics, though she goes more for comfort and usefulness than fashion. She likes jewelry with stones and feathers and bright geometric patterns.
Personality: Alethea is as hard-headed and determined. Luckily, she's usually apt to use the brains she was born with, but can be extremely skeptical. She's a bit of a wild-child, she's been independent and willful since she began to crawl, and she's not afraid to break the rules for a good cause. It's not that she wants to make trouble, it's just that she only follows the rules if she sees their necessity and not just for their own sake. She has the same opinion about authority figures. They can have her respect if they earn it, not just because they have a rank.
She's a friendly person, though she won't talk your ear off, and she has a little fierceness to her. Alethea will only put up with so much before she gets angry. But she's a patient person most of the time, generous and compassionate as well as capable. She doesn't tend to be a very emotional person, but she has passion and drive to spare. Alethea is ambitious and goal-oriented, as well as bluntly honest. She had a dry, cynical sense of humor. She isn't a worrier or a procrastinator in any part of her life, and that goes for romantic relationships too. If she fancies you, you'll know, as she'll tell you directly without prevaricating.
As a healer, she retain that directness and toughness, yet she is not cruel. Her specialties are trauma and obstetrics, good traits for a healer at a weyr.
History: Alethea was born the fifth child of Thearia and Greyale Aeril, traders in a large southern trading caravan. Her family wasn't especially prominent within the traders, and times were tough for them sometimes, but she, as a child, never really noticed. If her parents were busy, her siblings took care of her and they were a close and loving family. She was as hurt as any of them when her older brother Ariyale went to the weyr to become a dragonrider. When she was was eight or nine, she began to be curious about the old woman who served as healer to the caravan, and she started to watch and to learn. Her parents noticed this, and also noticed the size of their still growing family, Alethea had two younger siblings by this time, and they decided that when she came of age, she would apprentice to the Healer Hall.
At first, she wasn't at all enthused by this idea, she didn't want to leave her family. But the more she learned, the more she really wanted to learn, so by the time she was twelve, she was ready to go. Her father surprised her with a firelizard egg that he had traded for, which hatch into Blue Starfire, and she promised to keep in touch. Which she did, as soon as she trained him, but it didn't last for very long, because the unthinkable happened. Thread began to fall again. was safe in the stone walls of the southern Healer Hall, but her family, and pretty much the entire trading caravan, had not been so lucky, though it was months before she discovered this.
She had little time to mourn. The Healers were kept busy treating the injured and still, Alethea had much to learn. Turns passed, and the memories of her family faded. Alethea fell in love and then out of it again, with a harper boy, and she had friends and teachers. Finally, when she was 17, she got her journeyman's knots, and to her surprise, but not disappointment, she had been posted to the last weyr on Pern, Nyocia. And to her even bigger surprise, and delight, the rider who came to pick her up was none other than A'yale, her long lost brother, now the proud rider of blue Timianth. If that wasn't enough for Alethea, fate was not yet done with her. As she dismounted Timianth, he spoke into her mind. He told her, that if she was willing, she would be a Candidate.
And so Alethea has stood for the past two clutches, and not Impressed. But her work as a Healer is far more important, and at that, she is unwearyingly devoted.
Pets: Starfire, blue firelizard, 6 turns
Starfire is a deep midnight blue swirled with lighter blue marbling and a single white, star shaped blaze on his forehead. He's average in length, but lean and supple like a feline, and he's just as graceful and quick. He's fairly intelligent and well trained, though he still can be a bit hyper. He's friendly, but cautious, and extremely protective of his pet if he senses a threat.
