Name: Cinaeden
Age: 18
Nameday: 3558.04.04
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Curious
Craft: Healer
Rank: Apprentice
Location: Western Weyr
Physical Description: Light blue eyes are on a rather thin face with full lips. Her skin is lightly tanned from being outside and sometimes has a slight pinkish hue from sunburn. When her hair isn’t tucked behind them, her ears can sometimes look a little too large and stick out through her hair. Her platinum hair usually kept long and pulled back though it usually had a loose curl to it. Cinaeden is on the shorter side for girls and her figure is average for her age though she is fit from being so active.
Personality: Cinaeden is what people would call a natural. When she was younger she was ahead of the curve on most things simply because she caught on quicker than most. As she’s gotten older that hasn’t necessarily changed but the gap between her and others has decreased. She has a pretty easy time learning new things using many different learning methods and often relies on her intuition to piece things together. It’s never failed her in the past so Cina relies on her intuition and listens when she doesn’t feel quite right about something. It means she generally stays out of trouble and on the right path. The right path was something she struggled with, however, as she was a creative person and tried many different things, none of which she had too much trouble learning the basics for. That can be her downfall sometimes, especially when it comes to trying to explain herself or how she accomplished something. To her, it just makes sense to go from A to B to D. It’s hard for her to explain just how she did it and might leave out steps that she thought were obvious to everyone but really it was just her. That's not to say she doesn’t try to help people but quite the opposite. Cinaeden will almost give people the shirt off her back if she thought it was what they needed. Sometimes this leads her to getting taken advantage of but as long as she follows her intuition she doesn’t lose too much. Even if she had, you wouldn’t find her complaining. What happened, happened. What’s the use of complaining about it? It’s not going to change anything!
Positive Trait List Competent, Creative, intuitive
Negative Trait List Vague, uncomplaining, charitable
History:

Cinraeden and her twin brother Raiden were born to Cinrae and N’den of brown Belegath. N’den often visited some of the small holds and that was where he met Cinrae. The two had a little tussle and nine months later she became a single mother of twins. Cinrae had her family in the small hold and wasn’t willing to relocate to Western Weyr as she disliked the way in which the weyrs lived. So she raised the twins by herself with some monetary compensation here and there by N’den. Once she was of age, Cina helped support the family with whatever odd jobs she got here and there, her aptitude of learning things coming in handy for these jobs. It wasn’t long until she discovered her love for the healing arts. While she had not picked a discipline she had started her training, learning everything she could! Life was pretty great around then. Yet her world came crashing down when the first fall occurred. She had been lucky to have been in lessons inside that day. Her mother, however, wasn’t quite so lucky. And at a young age of 14, the twins found themselves without family. At least their father had heard about the hold being hit hard and came when he was able to. He found them trying to pick up the pieces of their lives. An executive decision by their father was made and they packed up what was left and moved to Western Weyr. It was an abrupt lifestyle change but they discovered they had an older half sister name Bionden who thankfully helped them settle into weyr life as best she could. Cina was happy to start her life as a candidate even though it meant she didn’t get to work on her healing skills anymore. She did find any chance she could get to learn from anybody who would teach. The young woman discovered she loved the idea of dragon healing and begged for someone to teach her. While she hadn’t gotten any takers yet she wasn’t going to give up! She had stood for the last couple of clutches at Western weyr as their father didn’t want them to transfer but sadly walked away alone each time. She didn’t let it get her down too much though, there would be more opportunities.

Blurb: Brown rider father, visits nearby holds, gets with Cinrae, mother passes when the first fall happens, N’den returns to collect the twins and take them to western weyr where they meet their eldest half sister and become candidates.

Other: Related to Raiden (Sym, twin brother), Bionden (Magna, older half-sister), Cinrae (mother, deceased), Nyalden/N’den of Brown Belengath (Magna, father)

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? No at this time
- - - > 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.

Okay, so she cannot have an intuition that never fails her. There are a couple of things beyond that that I find contradictory. She struggles with finding the right path (due to her creativity?) but also doesn't have any trouble ... finding the right path, due to her brilliance?

Her intuition can be good, but not infallible. You could get away with saying that it's rarely failed her. However, there's just not a lot in her personality other than the fact that she's a quick learner with an infallible intuition who is ahead of the curve.

I appreciate that you put in that she'd give others the shirt off of her back, but this is almost a footnote. The bulk of her personality is devoted to describing her brilliant intelligence and quick learning abilities. She comes across as a savant. I'm sure that wasn't your intention, but is it possible that you could add other character traits to her? Also, could you downplay this slightly so that she's intelligent but not perfect? There is no one in the world that will be able to grasp every thing, no matter how smart.

Her history is fine. Just take a look at her personality and if you need any help from me, let me know.
