Name: Quinslie
Gender:Female
Age: 16
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Location: Dalibor Weyr
Rank: The lowest of the low (a.k.a. a CANDIDATE)
Personality:
When presented with a task properly, Quinslie can get it done. As long as it is presented as impossible or prestigious or just a challenge, she will jump in with the willfulness of a teenager being told not to see “that boy” ever again by her parents. She is active and alert, making her a wonderful student, but instead of putting her mind toward other things in structured situations, like how to get the most attention in the shortest amount of time. This leads to immaturity and unhelpfulness in group situations. Whenever she is balked, she becomes even more childish than usual.
She is regarded as lots of fun by people her age, at least for the fist hour or so. She craves interaction with anything, even with non-living objects. She gets annoying with her constant demand for attention. As much as she loves people, Quin has a mean streak a mile wide and twice as long. She is super-sarcastic and possessive. Her mercurial emotions lead her to be unpredictable and aggressive. She always wants to be admired, and is ostentatious by nature.
Appearance:
Quinslie has the dark hair and tan of someone who grew up in the sun. Her eyes are darkest though, and most definitely on the large side. She is sturdily built, with broad shoulders and stout, wiry limbs. Quin’s hair is wavy and brown; it is usually styled intricately but almost always a mass of tangles underneath its showy exterior. In a way, it mirrors Quinslie’s personality. Her face is unremarkable apart from her humongous dark brown eyes. It is square-shaped with a somewhat jutting jaw and high cheekbones. While she is very ready do anything, her smile is hesitant and shy.
Family:
Father: Duerly (Dow-er-lee)
Mother: Quilla
Siblings: Brother Duell (14) and sister Qierly (10)
Along with five aunts and uncles, four grandparents, and much more extended family that all live in the same cothold.
Pets: None
History:
Quinslie grew up in a large farming cothold near on the Southern Continent near Eastern Hold. She was born about six turns before a tide of cousins and second cousins, so had plenty of fawning admirers to watch her do big kid stuff and listen to her sing teaching ballads taught by the Harper (who was one of the only people at the cothold not directly or indirectly to Quinslie) in a so-so voice. It still impressed them. However, soon all of the other kids were learning the same songs, and a few had a significant amount of musical talent between them. Quinslie then had to find new things to do. It was a vicious cycle, really. Quin would do something impressive, and some other kids would learn how to do it better. So Quin would have to find something more dangerous or foolhardy.
When she was about thirteen turns, the cothold was struck by drought which ruined the livelihood of everyone there. They took refuge in Eastern Weyr, working in the Lower Caverns. Quinslie was put up as a candidate for the Hatchings that took place, but when her parents found another site for a cothold on the Western Continent, this time nearest to Crescent Hold. At the most recent Gather, Quinslie was Searched after she pulled another stunt, this time approaching a Bluerider about touching his dragon. Her cousins watched admiringly as she stroked the blue and then reported in a stunned manner that it was talking to her.
