FULL APPEARANCE:
By no means a dainty young woman, Luisa is instead the embodiment of raw power. Tall and built thick, every inch of her bulges with the muscles beneath, giving her the appearance of a dockworker rather than that of a lady.
While thick, there's very little fat on her, most of her bulk consisting of lean muscle, though her biceps are particularly impressive, resulting in massive upper arms, highlighting her physical strength.
Her brown hair is kept long but tied up in a neat bun, keeping it out of her way, and she typically wears a simple blouse and long skirt when not dressed for a particular occasion or need.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Luisa is about as tough as a woman comes, always willing to do the dirty work and the heavy lifting for anybody who needs it. She works and she works hard, taking each task asked of her as part of her civic duty, and never complaining even when the workload is immense.
In private, she is caring, an attentive sister and doting cousin. She has a soft spot for pack beasts, though she has a constant, nagging feeling of self-doubt. She can't help but wonder if everything she does is enough though, in reality, she usually does too much, and it brings her near her breaking point.
The idea that she might be failing everyone despite how hard she tries causes anxiety attacks and depression, though she always masks in public. Still, that doubt always lingers just under the surface. She will be slow to advance, not because of lack of ability, but a lack of confidence in herself.
She has trouble learning to take time to relax and care for herself, focused on what she can do for others, but she is a good leader when need be, and always determined to do the right thing and make sure those around her do as well.

BIRTHPLACE: Her family holdings
HISTORY:
The middle of three daughters, Luisa often has lived in the shadow of her older sister, who is the very personification of the idea of a perfect lady. Her mother was a busy Healer often occupied with scores of patients, and her father was often engaged in a foolhardy venture. Growing up, she has determined to forge her own way. While Isabela showed off her flower gardens, Luisa took to the paddocks and the fields. She may not have the delicate touch of a green thumb, so instead she learned to haul feed and bedding for the hold's livestock, carry building materials for the holdings, and furrow and plow in every field she could.
The physical work made her feel useful, and gave her a place to call her own in the family dynamic. She cared for her younger sister when needed, and has always served as her protector, but she felt most in her element when she could use the strength of her limbs. She grew tall and strong, and she felt out of place, though the others in the hold always relied on her for her strength and willingness to step in when needed.
Her chance at a change came when a Searchrider arrived from Fort. The bluerider took the opportunity to speak with her and her dragon sensed her potential. Securing her parents' blessing, she went to the Weyr when she was 18. Shortly after her 19th nameday, she stood on the sands as a clutch broke through to the world. A blue hatched, attacking three other candidates before coming for her. Gathering her will and her might, she bodily shoved the dragonet, who fell and began to whimper, gazing at her with rainbows in his eyes. Rhinusleth had met his match, and he wouldn't be likely to forget it soon.
