FULL APPEARANCE:
Toska is very androgynous, and that's exactly how they like it! She's very tall, slim, and lithe, with pale skin, grey eyes, and a smattering of freckles across her entire body. His platinum blonde hair is smooth and very healthy... but is in the most "home-style" mullet style that's ever been styled. While she has a distinct 'bump' on the bridge of her nose akin to a downturned nose, the bottom of her nose is definitely upturned. His jaw is a bit on the square-r and sharper side. They're very happy that puberty didn't hit them as hard as some of their siblings or friends, resulting in very minimal breast growth and a more rectangular body shape.
Their style is very stylish, but in a way that emphasizes comfort and practicality. Yes, it's work clothes, but maybe the shirt is a size too big so that it's a comfier wear. Maybe it's a different fabric that is gentler on the skin. But it's always styled in a way to make them look a little cooler. She always wears three necklaces, each of which has been made by one of her three younger siblings. His eyesight is absolute forsking shards and he requires pretty strong prescription glasses to see.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Toska is a bit on the eccentric side, having a silly and goofy disposition. To bend the rules a little is their favorite thing- what? It spices up their life! She tends to act on instinct rather than discipline, leading her to think up unexpected, creative solutions on the fly. Sure, the solutions might be... unconventional, but you can't say they don't work at least half the time! His carefree and easygoing attitude leads to a more inactive lifestyle overall- not in the physical sense, more as in not being particularly driven by any ambitions or need for achievement. Toska is content to let fame and glory pass him by, appearing generally unmotivated.
At their core, Toska is a kind and trusting individual. He believes that people are inherently good. She tries her hardest to see the best in other people, approaching friendships with (most of) her heart on her sleeve. They value collaboration, teamwork, and shared success over their solo achievements. They are deeply devoted and willing to go to great lengths to support the ones they love. Toska is (or, wants to be) a friend to all animals- from the smallest kitten to the largest dragon.
When it comes to confrontation, they shy their heart and run away. Great displays of emotional intensity scare him just the same. Sure, they could make plenty of friends pretty easily, but how close are those friendships when they never let people in? Not very. On top of this, his reluctance to assert himself during external conflict often leads to internal conflict. They push down their own needs and wants to keep the peace more often than not. That internal mountain of repressed emotions is going to build and build until, one day, it'll spill over.

BIRTHPLACE: Peyton Hold
HISTORY:
Toska was the first of a pair of farmers' four children. They were well loved, well cared for, and given plenty of work between helping with their younger siblings and caring for the farm. Their early childhood was idyllic- time not spent outside farming was spent outside playing games with their siblings and the other Peyton Hold children. She was closer to her siblings than any of the other children, although she did have the odd close friend here and there.
Toska always knew she was a bit different- she didn't feel like a girl or a boy, really she felt a bit all over the place and in the middle at the same time. Once he had the words for it, somewhere around his 12th turnday, he came out as non-binary. It went over well for the most part. Their family was fine with it, which was all that mattered to them.
As she grew older, Toska's responsibilities on the farm increased. Being older meant she could do more, harvest more, and work longer- and her parents put her to work. She didn't mind, though. Toska was just happy to do... well, anything He didn't care, as long as something somewhat interesting was going on, he was content. It was a mundane, repetitive life, but it was one Toska was happy to live.
Of course, their mundane life would get a bit wilder when a dragonrider came to Peyton Hold. Of all the things that could happen, Toska was searched. What was he going to do, say no? You didn't do that, not with an honor like this, even she knew that. So, they went off to Fort Weyr to stand as a candidate. That was fairly recent, and he has been quite excited to stand at his first hatching- let alone his first GOLD hatching! What great luck!
