FULL APPEARANCE: Ai'ja is hardly bulky, but she is certainly fit, as many dragonriders of 20 turns would be. Her bone structure is average in size, but she seems lean, with a runner's build...and she is quite good at running, too. While she is hardly a fighter, beyond her dragonrider training, she moves as if she were one, with a graceful yet solid stance, with good posture. She prizes function over form, tending to wear simple, plain clothing--albeit with a subtle flair, such as simple embroidery or design. She prefers to wear clothing that would suit her hopping on a dragon immediately, wherever possible. Despite the strength her poise radiates, she has several subconscious gestures, such as tucking her hair behind her ear frequently, that indicate when she is exceptionally distressed.
Ai'ja has blonde hair, which begins to curl past her jawline, and fair skin, which burns easily in the sun. Her eyes are a deep, intense blue, with thin eyebrows arching over them. Her face is heart-shaped and her cheeks are round.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: A stubborn woman who feels emotions strongly, but sets aside her emotions (mostly) in order to strive for perfection.
Some call Ai'ja determined and strong-willed. Others call her stubborn. She is certainly a force of personality, tenacious and persistent. However, she can be a bit impatient when things don't immediately line up perfectly--but that doesn't mean she won't keep trying. While fierce in her defense and love of others, she can forget to think of her own needs, at times. That said, Ai'ja feels emotion strongly, and often acts on it, whether it be confessing her feelings to someone or expressing anger and frustration. When she gets emotional, she can be a bit rash, and often says things she wishes she could take back. She is sensitive to emotional pain, but remains outwardly strong and inwardly resilient. Generally speaking, she thinks with her heart, following empathy over logic, at times. Despite the chaotic intensity of the emotions and empathy she feels, she is an orderly, neat person, who values accuracy and precision, but also efficiency, which means doing things right the first time.
Although opinionated, she is good at compartmentalizing so that work and personal life do not mix. That said, work often bleeds into her personal life. She's an overachiever who loves her job, and needs to be reminded to take it easy on herself at times. Ai'ja believes in hard work above all else. She expects the best of others and herself, but remains her compassionate and caring self, despite this. Regardless of her own emotions, she tries to be a rock, a supporting shoulder to cry on, to anyone who needs it, and acts both composed and strong where she can, so that she can support others. Once someone gets close to her, she is more comfortable--less apologetic or embarrassed--if her mask cracks and reveals the roiling emotion underneath. She doesn't always feel strong, but she will be strong to best support others. Incredibly loyal, Ai'ja feels a sense of pride and love towards her family, friends, duty, and Weyr.
