HAYALINA

Once I thought that I could fly
I tried so hard I wonder why
So innocent and full of life
So far away the worldly strife


- Feldberg, You and Me

PLAY-BY: Hay Lin (W.I.T.C.H.)

FULL APPEARANCE:
Petite, and possibly made entirely of knees and elbows, Hayalina is a tiny young woman full of life and energy. She’s skinny despite an enormous appetite, often worrying her parents and peers. Though small and wispy, her gestures and motions are large- and she somehow seems to fill a big space with her presence. Her sunny disposition shows in her face- large grins and beaming eyes are her usual expressions- and seems to radiate outwards, infecting those nearby with her eternal optimism.

Her dress-sense is not entirely practical, though she has never had much reason to wear ‘normal’ clothes. She prefers vibrant colours, as well as light and airy clothing. Her grandmother’s treasure- riding goggles that once belonged to her grandmother, usually sit atop her head. Hay Hay loves scarves and jackets- anything to bring her closer to her dragonriding dream. Despite lacking formal training, she has basic skill in tailoring. Hayalina tends to make her own clothing, which sometimes gives her a not quite properly assembled look. Her abnormal and eclectic tastes definitely show in the voluminous shoulder shawls and draping capes.

Her skin, of a particularly fine shade of creamy milk tea, is unmarred, though prone to burning in strong sunlight. Hayalina has long, silky black hair that reaches well past her waist, though she manages it well with either plaits or runner-tails. Deep brown eyes betray her every emotion, although more often than not scintillate with the joys that occupy her mind. She has a bright and openly expressive face. Large, protruding ears and a rather prominent nose might draw people’s criticism, but Hayalina loves every part of her physical appearance and is not at all phased by those mean whispers.


PERSONALITY

PERSONALITY:
The living embodiment of sunshine and happiness, Hayalina is that eternally, insufferably optimistic person who doesn’t let anything get her down. At least- that’s the outer facade, the one everybody sees and assumes. Hay Hay has an easy and ready laugh, a zany sense of humour and an interest in the unusual and nerdy. Her curiosity, like her appetite, can very rarely be sated.

She makes friends easily- a willing participant in conversations, as like to talk about nonsense as she is about serious issues. Hayalina is perhaps a little too trusting, and might present herself as the unfortunate victim of misuse and abuse. Gullible and naive, she sees the world- and those who occupy it- with wide eyes filled with wonder and admiration. There’s no darkness, no deception- everybody is just as honest and as caring as her, right? Right.

Her creative talents are quite astounding: Hayalina has a strong artistic streak, which seeps into every aspect of her life. She loves to draw and paint, and when she lacks paper or space, her hands and arms become her canvas. Designing and sewing her own clothing is still a big part of her life, and she will spend countless candlemarks toiling over the strangest outfits. Her tendency to daydream and be absent-minded have led some to question if she is ever quite grounded in reality, but Hayalina is more than capable of single-minded focus and attentiveness. She has a strong desire to finish what she has started, even if she does take on five projects at once.

Hayalina is a little whimsical to say the least. Some of her stranger habits include making up words to suit her mood, as well as learning (and spouting) numerous irrelevant facts about dragonkin and the starry heavens above to any who would listen. She is intellectual and booksmart, but it manifests outwardly as a sort of unnatural nerdiness. Probably the strangest habit that she has recently adopted has been the making of dragon plushies- starting with the Searchdragon who deemed her suitable to Stand.

Though not lazy by the strictest definition of the word, Hayalina is adverse to unnecessary physical activity. She is not especially strong, either. The whole… fitness thing is a bit of a sore spot for her- her only weakness, in her opinion. Discipline and training are difficult for her to… fit into her busy creative life. Consequently, some issues with authority have arisen- though never exacerbated by her attitude. Hayalina is a compliant, if reluctant, participant in sports and exercise.

Overall, Hay Hay is a kind and insightful young woman. She cares deeply about every person that she meets, regardless of what they have done or who they are supposed to be. Her innocence and empathy make her a wonderful friend and confidant. Hayalina will reach out to soothe anybody’s pain- masking her own sadness to help those around her. She is capable of great emotion, but chooses not to express the negative ones because she doesn’t want to burden or bring down anybody else’s mood.


HISTORY
FAMILY:
  • Father: Cheylin {2717 - Cook}
  • Mother: Hanaji {2720 - Cook}
  • Paternal Grandmother: Yanalina {2697 - 2766}
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: Heather Hold

HISTORY:
Born to two experienced cooks in a minor Hold beholden to Fort, Hayalina was a dearly beloved and desired child. Hanaji had been told that there was no chance of her carrying a child to term due to complications of an early childhood illness, and so Hay Hay was their tiny miracle. She lived a sheltered existence, filled with love and her parents’ expectations. She made friends easily and pursued her interest with youthful joie-de-vivre.

Yanalina, who worked as one of the few Healers at Heather Hold, took Hayalina under her wing. The two grew incredibly close, Yan encouraging her granddaughter’s artistic side, buying her cloth and paints to experiment with, and complimenting even her strangest projects. The subject of dragonriders- whose blood flowed through their veins- was only brought up in passing, to sate Hay Hay’s curiosity about dragons; Yanalina could see her granddaughter’s whimsy and innocence becoming obsession if she told her about her own grandmother’s riding days, and didn’t want to turn her away from the path her parents desired for her- to become a successful healer, or tailor, or even a masterharper of renown, or… something…

Still, With Hayalina’s creativity nurtured, and her parents continuously encouraging her to behave and socialise, the young girl lived an idyllic childhood. She was a fast learner, whose own ideas and idiosyncrasies endeared her to children and adults alike. She flourished in Harper lessons, already capable of reading, writing and figuring numbers, even if her attention to the Teaching Ballads was a little… lacking. The Harpers requested that she apprentice to them, seeing her potential for scribing and illustration, but she was desperate to pursue a career in the Starcraft. Her parents relented, her mother especially unable to resist her daughter’s earnestness. Hayalina took up apprenticeship at the Fort Harper Hall, under a master who relied on her penmanship and taught her about the calculations and particularities of his Craft. Hayalina drank it up- totally invested in her chosen life.

At fourteen, she was called back to Heather Hold by her parents for an emergency visit: her grandmother was dying. On her deathbed, Yanalina confided in Hayalina about their heritage: Hayalina came from a long line of dragonriders, and Yanalina expected her daydreams would one day lead her to dragonwings. She left her granddaughter her grandmother’s flying goggles. Hay Hay rarely leaves her room without them.

The growing woman returned to Fort Harper Hall, her thoughts jumbled with the notions of dragonriding her grandmother had given her. The Starcraft was great- it was everything she had wanted… but not everything that she had dreamed of. She broadened her study, researching the history of dragons and the Weyrs, the politics and turmoil they had faced… there was a whole world she had never known about.

She knew she was still too young to be Searched, but she kept track of Threadfall patterns and clutching Golds. Her opportunity would come, she just had to be mindful and proactive about it. A few days after her fifteenth Turnday, a rider and their dragon came to the Fort Haper Hall. She bounded up to them, proudly declaring that she wished to be Searched if their dragon found her acceptable. Lo and behold- she was.

It has been but a few sevendays since she has arrived, promising her master she would continue her star studies and scribing in the Records Room of Fort Weyr.

What type of candidate is your character:
Dragon

What color/s are you willing to impress to?:
Unique preferred, unless the admins have more intriguing plans!

What color/s does your character want?:
Any

Do you/your character have any personality preferences or concerns?:
No concerns. Hayalina is open to any kind of dragon- and her youthfulness gives her in-game flexibility when it comes to future story arcs. I don’t have any plans for her yet- but she’s an easy-going, fun-loving character with a taste for learning and dreams of adventure. She’s very naive and youthful in her approach to life- and still has a lot to learn about people and Pern.

Do you/your character have any other preferences or concerns?:
Nope!

Why do you think these choice/s would be a good fit?:
Hay is an oddball, and lately I’ve been picturing her astride a beautiful shimmery unique who matches her creativity and love for life in some way. Stars are a huge, huge bonus.

Do you have any preferences about the conditions of your character’s impression?:
I would like to hold her back from Impression until I am eligible for a unique dragon from the posting prizes, and would love to submit her for consideration for a unique Impression when the time comes.

Are you alright with your character getting hurt? What injury level is acceptable/what should be avoided?:
Surface injuries and broken bones would be fun to play out, but Hayalina might cry a little. Please don’t leave lasting scars or kill her.

Is there anything you will ABSOLUTELY NOT accept?:
I’m very open-minded when it comes to Hayalina’s future, and place my trust in the admins. <3 If there is a great match for her that isn't the Unique-prize, please let me know in advance!
