Persona Profile: Pellinne

Writer: Cait

Name: Pellinne
Age: 35
Birthday: m2 d3
Rank: Wingrider, Summit Wing
Location: Dragonsfall Weyr

Physical Description of Persona:
Standing about six feet tall even, Pellinne is quite tall for a woman and has her share of curves, though nothing extraordinary. A very active lifestyle keeps Pell slim and fit, something she is actually quite proud of. A side effect of her height is her long legs, perhaps her best feature.
Pellinne has curly white blonde hair cut to her shoulders and usually pulled back in a simple braid. She is very pale, tending to burn anytime she sets foot outside. Since she rather likes being outside, this means that not only is her face "well dusted" with freckles but that it is nearly always slightly sunburned as well. Her dark blue eyes provide an interesting contrast to the rest of her paleness and thus stand out rather sharply. Pellinne is quite pretty, with high cheekbones, a long, slender nose and full lips.

Emotional Description of Persona:
A very warm and friendly person, Pelinne rarely sees the dark side of anything. Having a very sunny personality, she has a quick smile and is always happy to help out anyone, even someone she's never met before. It's difficult to find someone more easygoing, very little ruffles her composure and it takes a great deal to actually anger her. Pell loves people and is happiest in the middle of a crowd, whether that be just chatting, drinking, playing cards or whatever other activity strikes her. Above all, Pellinne loves the outdoors. You'll never catch her inside for long as she can't stand being cooped up and will go exploring anywhere just to stretch her legs though her favorite activity by far is swimming. She has a difficult time sitting still and will skip out on meetings as soon as possible to go do something, anything active.
The downside to being such an extrovert is that she can't stand to be alone. The only time she can handle solitude is when she's outdoors and nature helps her forget she's alone.

History of Persona:
Pellinne was the third of six children born to Pelaren and his wife, Naleena at a small cothold outside of Amber Hills Hold. Growing up, Pellinne was a little bit of a trial to her mother, being far more of a tomboy than Naleena would have preferred. However, she got her wish in her other daughters, so there was little friction in the household until Pell's childhood had passed and it was time for her to settle down and start looking at her marriage prospects.
Luckily enough for Pell, shortly after these discussions with her parents, she was Searched during a visit to Amber Hills Hold.
Her parents happily consented since they hadn't had high hopes for a good marriage. However, they were mostly alone in their happiness. Neighbors, both sets of grandparents and others expressed their discontent at letting such a potential mother go but after several strong 'discussions' with her grandparents, at the age of 14 she was allowed to head off to candidacy at Dragonsfall Weyr under the strict understanding that should she not Impress, she return home immediately. To Pell's extreme delight, little green Avasaryth knew exactly who she wanted and Pellinne found a new calling as a dragonrider. Although only her close family was particularly pleased by that turn of events, Pell felt she was in the right place. After graduating and serving as the Weyrlingmaster's assistant until she was old enough to be in the fighting wings, Pellinne fell easily enough into her new lifestyle. Though she's had her ups and downs in the twelve Turns since Avasaryth found her, Pell has never "settled down" with a weyrmate and finds herself in no real hurry to do so, content to enjoy life as it comes.

Dragon's Name: Avasaryth
Dragon's Age: 20
Dragon's Hatching Date: m1 d28
Dragon's Colour: Green
Description of Dragon:
Avasaryth is one of the largest greens in the Weyr and a dark forest green in color. Not one of the dainty greens, she is actually fairly muscular and as one of the older greens, enjoys being rather large.
Avasaryth is above all, extremely proud and extremely opinionated. Nothing on Pern will convince her otherwise if she thinks she's right, though thankfully she usually forgets when she does win an argument with her rider whose easygoing nature is a necessity with this rather bullheaded green. Not that Avasaryth doesn't have her good sides, they're just a little more difficult to find and she can be downright abrasive at times. Tact and patience are not really virtues she possesses though thankfully her rider can make up for that.
