Name: Engrye [ENG-ree] Gender: Female Age: 24 Sexuality: Heterosexual, may lean depending on the person Location: Dalibor Weyr Rank: Wingrider
Personality: Engrye is the very definition of an "ice-queen". She is cold, calm and unfeeling. She does not give a crap about what others feel and how her words and actions may affect them, she's only focused on her own goals and how to reach them. Engrye tends to answer questions with one-word answers and doesn't like to talk to others much. She likes to be with herself and imagine her own friends to talk to rather than talk to real people. But even so, she is very motivated towards her goals and will do whatever it takes to reach them, spending marks like crazy if needed. She only has a vague concept of the "worth" of money and does not care for it.
The only time Engrye will actual smile is when she's alone and allowed to get lost in her thoughts and daydreams. She tends to talk to her imaginary friends even when out in public, usually imagining that her friends are with her at all times, just that she's the only one who can see them. She tends to completely delude herself into believing that they are real, and can even get angry when her imaginary friends do not do the things she wants them to do, such as violently kill the people making fun of her. However, she has become very hardened off to other people's thoughts and opinions of her, and rarely reacts strongly to teasing and insults. Engrye does not truly believe that her "friends" are real, she knows they're just her imagination, but she has a very large imagination. She won't do crazy things like talk about them to normal people, because that would just be extremely embarrassing.
Engrye is also rather closed off to how her own words may hurt others, and her dismissive comments tend to sound very cold and mean. She is just very dismissive to things that do not interest her or help her move forward in reaching what she wants, with a very extreme one-track mind. She finds it difficult to make lasting relationships and friendships, since people don't usually react the way they do in her mind. Due to this she's also rather socially awkward and tends to get easily confused by simple jokes. She takes things way too seriously and literally.
Most of the time Engrye does not mean to be anti-social, and her imaginary friends show that she would like to make friends, she just doesn't know how to talk to normal people. She considers herself an outcast, and due to that mindset she does not branch out and try to talk to people. Engrye is not a leader or a follower, she prefers to just set her own path and work by herself. Her facial expression may also scare people off, it tends to be set in a permanent scowl or glare.
If pushed far enough, Engrye will explode in anger and defend herself vehemently. She tends to have huge, screaming fits of rage and just yells out whatever happens to be making her angry. It does take a lot to push her to this though, and she's really only been pushed this far a few times in her life.
Appearance: Engrye has red hair in the very essense of the word, it isn't an orange color like many other red-heads, but an actual red color. It falls a little past her shoulder, and is very straight. She ties a little bit of her hair up into twintails, leaving most of it down. She has been wearing her hair like that since she was younger, and although it looks rather childish she doesn't want to change it. It makes her look a bit younger than she really is. Engrye's eyes are an almost blue color, though they're light and diluted and can seem almost gray at times.
Her height is 5'6'', making her about average in height, though maybe a little taller than most. She is rather thin with a slightly bigger sized chest and waist, giving her a slight hourglass figure, though she usually wears long, looser clothes that hide this. Her skin tone is somewhat light, considering she doesn't really go outside too much. She does not have too much muscle and does not look like she could lift anything heavy.
Family: Eneli Mother Amgry Father A'li Brother, Rider of Purple Beiruth
Pets: None.
History: From a very young age, Engrye admired her older brother to the point where it almost reached idol worship. She followed everything he did and wanted to be just like him when she got older. They were very far apart in age, when Engrye was 6, her brother Atlin was 10. They both lived at Southern Hold, along with their parents. Her attachment to her brother meant that Engrye did not really branch out and make friends her own age, she was perfectly happy with her brother.
That is, until he got Searched and sent to Southern Weyr. This was devastating to the 7 turn Engrye, who loved her brother more than anything else in the world. Her young mind couldn't feel happy for him, she couldn't feel excited that he had the chance to go Impress a dragon, instead she just felt angry at the Weyr for taking her brother away from her. But despite those angry feelings, it was then that Engrye decided she was going to get Searched too, and she was going to join him at Southern Weyr.
Her new goal gave her something else to be distracted by, and Engrye grew up without talking to the other holdkids or making friends. They saw her as the "weird girl" and the "quiet girl" that no one wanted to talk to for fear of ruining their own reputation. So Engrye grew up with barely any friends, and she relied on her imaginary ones. She was 10 turns and she had still not gotten rid of her imaginary friends like most young kids do. She began to talk to them in her mind and imagine them making silly faces at the girls who made fun of her, and it actually cheered up the sullen girl. For a while she was content being by herself.
At 14 turns she finally declared herself old enough to be Searched and sought out the Searchdragons whenever they landed, hoping to be taken away from here and back to her brother, who by this time had already Impressed to a Purple. He could Impress, so it must be in their blood! That meant that she would be Searched too. But time and time again the Searchdragons looked over her, picking the other girls and boys standing around with her.
After the Searchdragons left, the other girls would always turn and yell at her, as though it was her fault they weren't Searched either. This wasn't true, but they just needed someone to put the blame on, and of course, it always goes to the "weird" girl. It got the worst at 16 Turns, when they got so angry at Engrye that they forced her to appologize to them for ruining the Searchdragon's judgement. This was one of the only times in her life that got Engrye angry enough to scream at the girls, even yelling at her imaginary friends to brutally kill the kids. This was the first time where they failed her, and for a while, Engrye stopped pretending and focused more on reality.
It was a good thing she did, because she soon heard of a Hold that was low on people and needed help. A fresh start looked really good for Engrye right now, so she volunteered and was sent out to Western Hold. Years of being laughed at and made fun of had turned Engrye cold and heartless by then, so she found it hard to connect with other people and make friends, though she managed better than she had at Southern Hold.
A full turn passed before Engrye was finally Searched, but it wasn't to Southern Weyr like she had hoped. It was to a newer Weyr called Dalibor, and by this time, Engrye didn't even care. She just wanted to Impress, she just wanted to follow in her brother's footsteps and make him proud of her, even if he was in a whole different Weyr.
