Physical Description of Persona:
Arateyka is a lean woman of medium height with dark wavy hair, dark eyes, and nut-brown freckled skin. She is fit and strong, the latter being the result of her craft work.
Emotional Description of Persona:
T'kanu's placid nature is the hallmark of the personalities of all his surviving children and Arateyka is no exception. Added to that she has a passive form stubbornness that both parents bequeathed her and a sense of cautiousness that is unique in her family.
History of Persona:
Arateyka is the middle daughter of brownrider T'kanu and his long term partner, Delhara. She was born and raised at River Bluff Weyr and still retains a close relationship with her parents and siblings.
Arateyka's next oldest sister Ykana was killed in one of the early Threadfalls of the Pass.
Apprenticed to the Weyr's smiths at 13 Turns Arateyka didn't initially thrive in the craft, despite her interest, because of her over-developed cautiousness. 'Plodding' was a word commonly used to describe her progress, and her apprenticeship was correspondingly extended. Her cautiousness did have its advantages; since Arateyka wouldn't be rushed into anything she did tend to learn a subject thoroughly before committing herself to its practice and as that knowledge base built up she began to be regarded more positively.
Shortly after her promotion, Arateyka spent a Turn at the Technicians Hall at Jade Harbour Hold doing specialised training in hydro engineering, and repair and maintenance. Although she enjoyed the work she never really stopped missing Weyr and family and returned to River Bluff aware of how happy she was with her life there.
