APPEARANCE
EYES:Blue with gold flecks near the pupil.[so, not clear blue.]
HAIR: strawberry blonde, a golden mess of curls kept braided behind her with ribbons and painted, beaded seeds intricately intertwined in the braid, at a length that reaches to her butt, messy bangs, and two long ringlets that hang down just in front of her ears reaching all the way to her breast. Her braid is not neat by any means, stray hairs flying out every which way and the braid loose enough that the top of her hair almost looks short, until she turns around.

FULL APPEARANCE:Naera keeps herself neat and clean and always puts on a little bit of airs. Her clothes ..would look like something that Lord Holders daughters wear, except, with.. FLARE. nice colors, soft fabrics and pleasing textures is what she's all about. Her ringlet curly hair gets in her way so it's kept in a loose braid behind her, and used as yet another way of self expression, twining in ribbons, dyed strips of fabric, and any sort of trinket like beads and seeds she can. Sometimes a pretty feather or flowers when the season is right. Embroidery, dyes, gathered flares and frills, additional ribbons or overlayers, and in the winter, furs she can manage, she takes great care in her appearance, and handmakes everything herself. So, everything she wears, is..unique. No one seems to understand or appreciate her style. She's also a bit on the... softer side of things, but she'll most definitely lose the extra weight once classes and activities start, and the harder life in the weyr.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Naera is... Unique. She's got a flare to her, a driving passion. SHE REALLY LOVES CLOTHES AND FABRICS OK. She's pretty optimistic and takes everything thrown at her with a big grin of excitement. Everything and anything is a new adventure, a new challenge, new possible inspiration for her next project. She has no time for silly people, dominating guys, or tyranical types. She's likely to adopt shyer girls and try to dress them up and give them a make over, she loves to make things around her pretty, and even more so to make stuff for people. fix up a robe? YES. Add some nice things to a pretty gather gown? YES PLEASE PLEASE. make something from scratch for a friend who is self concious? YES I'LL MAKE YOU LOOK LiKE THE PRETTIEST LORD HOLDER'S DAUGHTER. Even with all her prancing, she isn't afraid to go and get her hands dirty in the field, foraging for items needed or dying the fabrics herself and getting messy. [not in her GOOD clothes of course, are you ridiculous?] All her gung-ho attitude however portrays her as a little bossy sometimes, and the odd one out when others don't appreciate her pushy nature. She comes off as vain initially, but she's actually more... artistic. Her fashion is a self expression statement and worn because she likes it, not because she wants all eyes on her. She does however, want all eyes on those she dresses.
HISTORY
FAMILY: Caring mother, younger sister, younger brother
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: (optional)
BIRTHPLACE:Keroon
HISTORY:
Naera was the Oldest Daughter, and she had skills with fabrics and a passion for handiwork around the house and mending at a young age, so was sent at 8 to tailorcraft hall, where she GREATLY enjoyed her life, and picked up on the craft quickly, enjoying textures, aesthetic, color, flow, vibrancy... she's pretty much a prodigy at working with cloth and gowns, and she has a good eye for what will flatter someone the most.
However, her flare for style and ...'fashion' makes her a bit odd.
She makes friends quickly and easily, and has skill with making even a drudge look like a holder's daughter at a gather with the right fabrics and fwoosh, and once she received a fire lizard egg from a grateful mother of a friend she'd made at a gather, where she'd prettied up the woman's daughter and it caught the elibigle son of a Lord Holder's attention, and then a marriage.
Her egg hatched into a green fire lizard whom she named Tizzy, and gave her a great bounty in the form of a female tiny dragon who laid eggs occassionally, as long as Naera stalked her to find where they were laid.
Fire lizard eggs were great bartering tools, and now suddenly she had a mini fortune to use to gain MORE fabrics, furs, pretty seeds for bracelets and beading. Finer threads for sewing and embroidery.
Her work took off even more, and life was going GREAT!! Her teachers let her have free reign to create, as long as she kept up with lessons and work.
and then the dragon came.
Right after a gather, and she was working on a project she was SURE would make her a journeyman, a Dragon Came on Search right to the crafthall and took her away.
Well, she wasn't too perturbed. No matter where she goes, everyone wears clothes. Her skills and talents would be appreciated no matter where, right?
