Name: Inrika
Age: 19 turns
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: Her smile is usually noticed first. It is nearly always on her lips. But don't you think she is always smiling happily at you, often it is a wicked grin whens he has come up with another prank or teasing plan or it could be just a pleased smirk. It is near impossible to see her upset and you have to be truly close to her to ever see her crying. But it is what often attracts attention about her.
Overall, Inrika is quite pretty girl and hears it often, as she often around people who are not shy about complimenting others. Due to workout and genes, she has a beautiful body, similar to that of a hourglass and her skin is slightly darker than that of others as the tan she gained in the nice days spent in Weyr hasn't gone off yet completely.
Her movements are graceful and over the time, 'accidental' flirtatious movements had become part of her. She is good at dancing and other sports and exercises connected to agility for she is certainly not the strongest girl in Canaulia. She does train, though, but not with lot of enthusiasm, thinking that her agility is enough.
What is average about her is the height. She is neither taller or shorter than other Pernese people, though, the way how she sometimes holds her self, seems to raise her above other girls who are tired, their heads low and shoulders slumping, after a hard work day. She tries to never look tired.
In fact, she is often thought to be a vain person as she almost always looks perfect, her hair falling down to her waist in golden curls that are as clean as possible (She takes great pride in her hair and no one is sure if they are naturally curly or she curls them. In any case, it's one of her most beautiful parts). And her clothes are always well kept. But she is a girl who doesn't care if she gets dirty doing something as long as she can get clean afterwards. If it's fun or necessary, she is ready to look like mud cake.
Her eyes are clear chocolate color. There are no speckles in them visible much, though, if someone would look real close, some golden brown color could be noticed. Her features are nothing out of ordinary, though, closer to beautiful than ugly.
Inrika enjoys all bright colors and from calmer tones she choses elegant black and darker greens and browns. Her most favorite color seems to be gold and her favorite gown from her home is mix of black and gold. It is something she treasures dearly and would never let anyone wear or dirty. Overall, she doesn't like lot of jingling and bangling jewelry, prefering something simply, like single golden bracelet or ring but usually nothing. Actually, the level of her pickiness about clothes depends on her mood - the worse she feels (Or if she's in love), the more she will try to look perfect. But when happy, she can dress simpler.
Personality: Sometimes, it feels like Inrika is not so good mix of a perfect lady to be and a tomboy. Those and the fact she thinks of life like a game, are bases of her personality. Especially the latter one.
It could be said that she doesn't live but gambles with her fate, not caring that if she loses, she could die. She considers her self quite lucky and in the same time, she believes that person can change the path of his own destiny, if only he is strong enough. She likes to test others and play with them, so she is quite flirtatious. It's quite easy for her, too. Few smiles and comments, and they're already following her around. Mostly, she is just curious how long it will take for them to resist her charm and likes to have good company - the men she spends time with are usually at least smart, if not powerful and handsome. But there is also desperate hope to find someone like Segan hidden behind this all.
Sometimes, it seems she forgets that she and people around her are not dolls without feelings and says what she pleases, not noticing or caring that others could be truly hurt by her words. Actually, she is quite sarcastic and sharp if annoyed and sometimes, her friends are those who suffer the most as she seems to be afraid to show just how much she cares about them. This trait has appears lately the most..
Because of always wishing to please her father, there is always a bit of tomboy in her - she likes adventures, climbing, crawling, danger and all those things usually pretty girls doesn't seem to enjoy. For example, she certainly is not afraid from snakes, mouses or such animals. Well, maybe it is because she really likes animals in general. Especially cuddly or dangerous ones. She also loves books and poetry but if she can chose between written and real adventure, she will certainly chose the latter one. She also loves a good challenge and won't back away from any, even if it's deadly, just because all is game, anyway.
But as a normal girl, she enjoys pretty, cute things. She is strangely romantic deep down and prefers looking good. Sometimes, her tomboy-ish personality clashes with her lady-like upbringing and way of thinking and then she can't decide if she should act this or that way. Mostly, the tomboy-ish attitude wins. Overall, she seems to be nearly overconfident, never asking anyone's opinions or reassurance, as if everything she does is good because there is simply no other way. But she is also afraid that there will be no one who will love for who she is, not for who she appears. And that she is a big failure, for being a girl.
As she thinks no one will understand her real feelings, she never lets anyone know she is upset or hurt. Usually, the more hurt she is, the more cheerful she acts. Lately, she is practically bursting with happiness and energy, just to hide that she is trying to suppress tears every other moment. She displays her anger quite openly, though. She also loves to make others happy and have fun because life is about that, anyway.
Despite her carefree attitude, she is also very observant, not only about her surroundings but her dear people, too. Her friends have hard time hiding something from her and even if she will do it with a smirk, she can give quite good advices to them. There is more thoughtfulness and cunning about her than one could believe.
She is not very trusting, though. She might act friendly, even helpful but you won't be her friend for real for a long time, if ever. Lately, she tries to not tie her self closely to anyone. She can be very dedicated to her family or her goals, though . In the end, if you can accept her for who she is, you can gain a great friend and ally.
History: Inrika was born eight turns after her brother, Galdan, now G'dan of Faruth in family of Holders. At that time, her father didn't care much for her gender, as he had not wanted another child, anyway, and had a son to take over the title. But she always wanted his attention, practically begged it, always trying to stay near him which annoyed the man quite much. After being slapped multiple times, her attention turned towards her brother who was slightly more accepting of her presence. It was he who planted a wish to become a dragon rider in her.
But when Galdan was chosen to be a Candidate, her gender suddenly became important. Their father often questioned skies why he had daughter instead of other boy if his son was supposed to taken away by riders. Inrika in her childish mind decided to change her gender and did all things 'manly' in her opinion, often getting in danger, which only angered her father further. Overall, their family was far from happy and she often spent hours crying and hating her self for being so weak.
About age of 9, she met Hadhen, an old Harper, and her life started to change yet again. About year ago, her baby brother and heir was born and now she was nearly completely ignored by her father which hurt her even more than insults. But Hadhen cared about her. He spent lot of time with her, listened to her worries and pains and talked her trough stories and songs and Inrika started to understand that it wasn't worth trying to be someone else. She was her self, unique and good the way she was. And, yet, the damage was done and she already doubted anyone would care to understand her true feelings. She decided that all is based on luck and she must get of life all she can and more and it was beginning of her current personality shaping.
When her 15th turn came, she was chosen to be a candidate as well and Inrika was overjoyed. Becoming a dragon rider had been her biggest wish for past 5 turns and it was about to come true! Her father sent off her with ease, happy to get out the bothersome girl out of house. The girl happened to end up the same Weyr as her brother and the rejoining was joyous, though, there was now a crack between them, caused by the turns that had passed and the fact they had never been too close.
She participated in few hatchings but never Impressed a dragonet which upset her quite much before she started to think that once there will be the perfect dragon to her and she just needs to wait some sign. She decided to not go to hatchings until there has be important turn in her life.
When offer to start new Weyr came, she practically talked G'dan into it, just so excited about something new and adventurous. As he didn't want to leave his sister alone and some things did not please him in his current Weyr, he finally agreed and the journey begun.
The first half a turn she spent in Canaulia was the happiest in her life. She met Candidate named Segan who didn't look at her the same greedy way other men did and it took only few weeks for them to fall head over heels for each other. He helped her to rid of few of her inner demons, or rather, to silence them and she decided it is the turning point she had been waiting for to find her dragon. So, when the Queen clutched, she was truly happy: soon she would have everything she wished for - brother as her family, lover and dragon.
But soon after the eggs were laid, her happy, little world was destroyed. When the eruption begun, she and Segan had been at the lake - he in the water and she under some tree. She never saw much of it for lost consciousness soon after it all begun and woke up in infirmary, with broken arm as one of the branches had fallen on it, thankfully not smashing it completely. She would have given all her libs for Segan's lost life, though.
As soon as she could, she left infirmary, her hand still bandaged, as she could not sit in peace and had to do something, to not mourn after her dead lover every moment. Since then, she has been anything but upset in front of others and has helped in everything she can, even if it's not as much as she would like to admit.
Pets: None but she wants one
Preferred Dragon Color: Green. She has always wanted a green for it's color, personality and ability to fly and spit fire in fights, unlike Golds nut Blues are too calm for her.[/size]
