Name: Solirah
Age: 20
Nameday: 3554.01.05
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Hetero
Craft: Dragonealing
Rank: Candidate
Location: High Reaches Weyr

Physical Description:
Sporting a healthy amount of dark earth toned hair; it’s rare that Solirah will leave it down. She prefers her hair up in some intricate updo and has a preference for braids which is seen in the variety she has in her hair. Her almond shaped eyes are of oak coloring, taking after her mother’s and have small eyelashes around the contours. For the most part her eyebrows are straight across her brow and begin to lean down a bit towards the end which softens her look. Her face is somewhat angular, with high raised cheekbones with a straight jawline. Her bottom lip is full with the upper lip being just a bit smaller, most days her mouth is turned up into a genuine smile aimed at others. Her nose is a little on the large side being long, but is still very straight.

Standing at a nice height of five feet eight inches and a half, Solirah does consider herself on the taller side of the spectrum. She is rather slim with long legs and arms with a rectangular body shape for she barely has any breast or hips to show off. She has some muscle on her, with an olive skin tone that bares no blemishes. Her posture is straight but relaxed as to keep herself always at her full height; she does not slouch for she believes it is a bad habit for someone to have and may give the impression of laziness. When she walks or talks it is always with purpose, head raised high and eyes on the alert.

While Solirah is not overly feminine, she does tend towards clothing that might make her more appealing to the eye. She favours dresses and long skirts to practical pants; though she does make sure her shoes are simple enough so she can get around with ease. She doesn't like to show much skin, but she doesn’t hide behind baggy shirts or cover herself all the way to her neck. She is not extravagant in her color pallet, preferring earthy tones to bright colors such as yellow or pink.

Personality:
Usually, when Solirah puts her mind toward something, it becomes a duty and she will do everything in her power to follow through with it to the end. This tends to keep her focused on the task at hand while working on things that are difficult for her even if there are distractions to be had. She will almost never give up on her task at hand, as she is far too stubborn to even think failure is possible. She will avoid overloading herself as much as she can, but if she ends up with too much on her plate, she simple reassesses the priority of her duties and pursues those that are the most vital at the time.

She sets high goals for herself and strives to achieve them as she views them as her responsibilities for her to accomplish. She doesn't usually turn down duties assigned to her by her elders, even if she dislikes them, as they are her responsibility and thus must get done. If a task is assigned to Solirah, you know it will get accomplished and when working in a team, she tends to be the responsible one. You won`t see her out doing things she's not supposed to as that was not how she was raised.

Solirah tends to like people in general and always seems to have a smile to offer others. Her seemingly friendly nature helps her get through to even the grumpiest of individuals and works wonders in groups. She always wants to socialize with others, as she's grown up with many siblings and dislikes being alone. In groups, she will attempt to bring in everyone together since she dislikes leaving people out. She's always willing to make plans and get involved, within responsible reason of course, if it means having fun with a good friend or making a new one. As a result, she's warm, open, and friendly with everyone she meets.

When Solirah gets an idea, it is almost impossible to make her change her mind. She will often dig in her heels when people try to make her change her mind, and isn't afraid to prove her point in whatever means is necessary to support her position. She's not greatest debator, and her opinions aren't always right, but they're her opinions and she sticks by them. She is more often than not willing to simply agree to disagree with people.

Ever since she was young, Solirah hasn't had any patience. Now she's better about controlling her impatience but it still manifests without her thinking like drumming her fingers on something. though usually her hip or sighing when she thinks something is taking too long. She cannot stand people who are late and likes to keep neat timelines she feels need to be respected.

Coupled with her impatience is a distinct lack of impulse control. Often, when she gets something into her head she'll do it before thinking of the consequences. Some things just need to get done immediatly and she simply can't control the impulse. She believes that the first choice is often the best and though her actions aren't always the best at the time being, sometimes you just need to wait, occasionally this impulse control problem gets things done.

Positive Trait List Hard-working, responsible, friendly
Negative Trait List Stubborn, impatient, impulsive

History:
Like many of her siblings, Solirah’s father was simply passing by when he met Liriella. Her father, So’ah rider of blue Tiemeth, was however an active participant throughout her life. He enjoyed the fact that she was his one and only child and was looking forward to having his legacy continued. As such he frequently visited the Hold to keep an eye on his daughter as she grew into a young woman who he hoped would stand as a candidate when the time came. On her mother’s side however, her family grew as her mother settled down and had a few children with her husband. She is her father’s only child, as far as they know, and has one older sibling and four younger ones.

Most of Solirah’s time was spent with her father and his dragon, Soli grew a distinct love for dragons as she was introduced to as many as her father could find. Even at a very young age, he taught her the importance of duty, and as her mother’s side grew, Soli was always there for her helping her with her siblings whenever she could. Her father spoiled her in his own way; this caused her to become rather stubborn in her morals and ideas. Even to this day, her way of thinking was so tightly molded that little can change it from what her father taught her.

The only time Solirah could truly be found unhappy was when she was away from her father, this was brought on by her father’s travels and her mother’s constant need to visit family at other holds. While it made her sociable and knowledgeable to the world, her heart would always be where the dragons were, hold life was far too placid and boring for her. She took up healing so she could be around dragons as much as she could, and she put her whole heart and mind into each and every single task or studies she undertook. She wanted to specialize in dragonhealing once she could much to her mother’s disapproval who didn’t like one of her eldest being away so much.

It did not take much time for Solirah to be picked up as a candidate, not long after her twelfth birthday she was Searched. She has been standing since a very young age but has always failed to Impress time and time again. Though juggling her craft and Candidacy is sometimes tricky, Solirah has fallen into a quiet, happy routine.

Candidate Specific Questions
Do you want them to have an official Search RP? No
Do you understand they will age every passing year regardless if you're there to RP the or not? Yes
Do you want them to have a possible Stands Impression? Yes/No. On the forum she was created, she did end up as a stands impression, so I don`t care whether or not she is here. The staff can do as they please!
- - - > Please keep in mind that Stands Impressions are very rare. This means that not everybody will get an opportunity to have a surprise Impression, and you lower your chances of being picked by a dragonet. Given the character is not ICly an official Candidate, they will need a reason to be at the Weyr of their choice long-term, or at least for every Hatching.

I feel like you've mitigated her character flaws a little bit. I would really prefer to have a clear sense that she's less than perfect - for instance that although she's learned a little more patience, something else is slipping. What are the consequences of these flaws?

Also, she'd have to have been Searched at 14+, not 12.
