EXPY SOURCE: Miriam from Turning Red
FULL APPEARANCE: Miriam is a tall, slender young woman although sometimes it's hard to really tell due to her preference for looser clothing that obscured such details reasonably well. More often than not she prefers comfort over fashion. Mostly seen sporting some neutral colored pants and light tunic to help battle the Semaca heat. Miriam moves with a fairly cautious gait. She's not nervous, but she is careful in her movements.
Her form is typically fairly plain and unadorned except for one hat in a lovely green color that she insists on wearing over her bushy red hair. Usually she keeps her hair as tamed as it can be in braids, be it two or a single one down her back. Miriam is usually a fairly happy sort so her face is typically one of a quiet happiness, at least when she's not concerned about someone around her.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Miriam is a very low key sort of person. She is the kind of girl who just naturally seems to help keep a more calm vibe to a room. She's very laid back and friendly in nature much preferring just to chill and hang out than to be running all over like a crazy person.
Miriam is very sweet to those around her though she tends to keep her own feelings about things and people to herself. If she doesn't like you then you might not even know it, though you can bet her best friend does. She is a bit more prone to gossip than she'd like to admit and is always one to listen in if something juicy is being discussed. She can be just a bit of a busy body, liking to know everything about everyone that she can and is not shy about trying to obtain this information. Typically that's where it stops though, she's very tight lipped unless she feels that what she has to say can help, or perhaps hurt if the situation calls for it. But if she tells someone that she won't pass on some sort of information then that is usually the truth.
Miriam loves those she chooses to surround herself with very fiercely. She will protect them the same, but on the converse side of this, if Miriam is hurt by someone then she tends to hold a grudge even tighter and can be quite vindictive as a result except when it comes to those she allows the closest to her. They could do no wrong anyway but it deeply affects her when they do have their downs.
Miriam is prone to getting inside her own head and doesn't have the highest self esteem. She struggles with feelings of inadequacy and as such tends to put on an air that she doesn't give a darn when in fact she's pushing herself beyond what is healthy to figure out how to fix it behind closed doors by herself.
HISTORY
FAMILY: Riamas (Father, Journeyman Weaver) Mirtia (Mother, Green Dragonrider)
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: None now
BIRTHPLACE: Telgar Weyr
HISTORY: Miriam was born and raised in Telgar Weyr. Growing up, she was not the most social of children and she spent much of her time with her father. She loved his craft, how he took colors and threads making amazing things, both useful and beautiful, sometimes both. Her favorite color was the greens of the grasses and so for her fifth birthday he gifted her with a lovely green hat. When he made it, it was quite a bit too big for her and yet she hardly ever took it off. Miriam, like many Weyr children, did not know her mother very well. Sure she knew of her... She admired her and often looked for her, not out of any real need but more of a curiosity. She shared her mother's untamed red hair and gentle green eyes but the rest of her was built like her father, long and slender.
Miriam was always fairly certain that despite how she loved her father's work, she longed to be in the skies like her mother. So when she came of age she joined in Candidacy to hopefully get her chance to stand before these noble beasts and perhaps be chosen by one of them. Early on she met a young dark haired firecracker of a child. This girl was amazing, sweet, curious, but so volatile! The two of them became nigh inseparable, thankfully being roomed together from the start.
Candidacy was taken in stride and Miriam learned quickly and became more and more excited to see what was to come out of this life choice. She stood for a number of clutches but before she could start to get worried, she found the clutch that held her beloved. At around 16 turns He broke from his shell and of all the dragon babies she'd seen so far, there was something different about him. She couldn't put her finger on it but during his flashy entrance and search of the candidates, she tried to figure it out.
It clicked rather painfully when she came nose to nose with him there on the sands, his whirling rainbow eyes locked with her own. Qianketh... Her Qianketh... The true other half of her soul right here in draconic form. The two accepted each other immediately in a way that caused even her friendship to her best friend to pale in comparison. Thankfully she also impressed that day so even in Weyrlinghood they would not be separated.
Time and training went on there at Telgar Weyr but there soon came a time where the entirety of her class was to be moved to Semaca Weyr. Why? Was it to bolster their numbers? Honestly Miriam wasn't sure, but it was to be a new adventure and she would take on any of it with those closest to her at her side. It was an exciting new possibility and the pair were excited to see what would come of it.
