FULL APPEARANCE:
The first thing one tends to notice about Elanil is their long, dark hair. It falls past their waist when let loose, though typically is tied back in a thick braid or high tail. Or both. Their eyes are light green and skin naturally tanned dark. They have a few scars, though none of any major note, along their arms from Turns of manual labor. Clothing-wise, they prefer tighter garments in dark colours, though aren't particularly picky about the colour as long as it is a darker tone; they're just as likely to wear a red as a blue.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Elanil is generally reserved, serious, and focused. They don't talk very much and often directly ignore questions or requests that seem in some way pointless. This can make them seem rude or careless to those who don't get to know them better. Past their serious exterior, they are a bit insecure about themselves and their skills, having little education beyond what they were taught by their parents. They may often try to flourish their sentences with larger words they know, even if they are slightly less commonly used, in an attempt to show they aren't just some "farm-bred wherhandler."
When teaming up with others, they become a bit more sociable, helping out and thanking them for their efforts. They can be a bit timid when dealing with new or unfamiliar situations, preferring to stand back and observe even to the occasional detriment of others. While they would never intentionally endanger someone, it is clear that in an emergency they are not the first to act nor are they the ones to rush headlong into danger to protect others. They will wait for backup, leadership, or more experienced individuals to act or give orders before stepping in. This puts them far from the spot of taking up leadership roles, which seems to suit them fine--for now.
HISTORY
FAMILY: Various living relatives
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: Keroon Territory
HISTORY:
Born in Keroonese territory, Elanil was raised by parents with high expectations. They were a pair of farmers deeply invested in their trade, expecting their child to pick up where they left off. However, things would not be as they intended, as Elanil had no interest in pursuing the "family craft." Farmers, of all things. Not even farmercrafters, just regular farmers. Despite putting up with the informal training, they would purchase a wher egg from a travelling caravan and bond to Elask.
Much to their surprise, their parents gave their blessing to the new pair. While not as prestigious as a dragonrider, being a wherpair was still worthy of praise, especially when it was clear that Elanil had no passion for their work. After that, they were overseen by the local Wherhandler pair for their training, alongside a few others.
After being deemed trained, they decided to leave their small hold with one of the other handlers they had kindled a relationship with. They travelled across Pern with them for many Turns, working alongside various caravans, finally having a falling out when their travel partner was found to be having an affair with a member of the caravan they had been protecting for the past several months. Brokenhearted, they travelled alone--alongside a trader's caravan--for some few months until arriving in Fortian territory.
Going to the Weyr proper, they offered their services to the Weyr in exchange for shelter.
