FULL APPEARANCE:
Alerae is about average in height, standing a 5'8". Her form is actually quite athletic as she has been in the Weyr for a few turns now and not spending the time in idle revelry. She has an slightly inverted triangle shaped face, featuring a large forehead and a narrower jaw ending in a slightly jutting chin. Her cheekbones are higher on her face, and perk out like small apples when she smiles. Her teeth are clean and relatively straight, though she does have a slight overbite. Her lips a little thin though the upper lip is thinner than the lower. wide nostrils narrow to a cute stubbed nose, the bridge straight and curved inwards just a bit. Oval-shaped Hazel eyes glitter intelligently framed in sooty lashes.
The rest of her body is somewhat plain. She bears wider shoulders and average length arms, though her hands are on the small side with dainty fingers. Traveling downward, her body forms a gentle pear shape, that grew taunt as she grew more active. She bears a narrower chest with small, though well-formed breasts. Her waist and stomach is trim, widening into curved hips and a round, firm rear. Her thighs are fuller, giving her a smooth body line. She ends in longer than average legs, leading down to average sized feet.
Alerae is a stickler for cleanliness, and likes to make sure she is always prim and proper. She almost always wears skirts or dresses, and rarely wears trousers unless the situation merits it. She favors bright colors, and monocrome color schemes, so is usually clad in various shades of the same color. Her hair is worn down, though she will wear a band around her forehead to keep it out of her eyes if she needs to concentrate. When in a formal situation, she is seen in elegant pulled back hairstyles. She LOVES to bathe, and will at least once a day. Although if she does something particularly dirty, she will bathe multiple times a day.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Alerae likes to see herself as quite a proper lady. She cares about her appearance greatly, avoiding things like stepping in mud or risking getting herself messy. She takes on an affected way of talking, speaking in a very formal matter. She enunciates clearly, and occasionally speaks in third person without realizing it. Along with this, she can have a bit of a 'better than thou' attitude when dealing with someone who has been mean or rude to her in the past, or if they are someone she has deemed unsophisticated. She also loves to be in the spotlight, and while she doesn't consciously seek it, she throws a small hissy fit if it appears she is being ignored.
On the other hand, she shows herself to be tough and resourceful in dealing with problems. She also isn't above getting her hands dirty when it comes to helping those she cares for. She is willing to sacrifice her appearance to help someone in need, as she knows that this is more important. She will put a friends opinion before one of her own. Honestly, she just wants to make sure the others are happy. While she doesn't have any real skills other than being good with children, she will do everything in her power to help them out. Unfortunately, she can become too focused on certain tasks to the exclusion of all others, which can lead to her losing a grasp on the bigger picture.
One of her biggest downfalls is her lack of self confidence. While she can play it off most of the time, she doesn't take criticism well. She had a fondness for the over dramatic, with outburst of tears of tears if someone does something to put her down, or loud complaints when she feels she is in the right of an argument.

BIRTHPLACE: minor cothold beholden to Fort Hold
HISTORY: Alerae was born the middle child in her family, to a pair of minor Holders. Her mother demanded her name be spelled the way it was, instead of using a 'y'. Her father just rolled with it. Alerae loves her name though, so she doesn't complain. Her life wasn't all sunshine and rainbows through her youth, but overall it wasn't that bad. She had the usual trouble that a girl with siblings would have. Her favorite part of her childhood was the days she spent sewing with her mother.
Her teen years saw her gain two younger siblings and her oldest brother being Searched. She was one of the loudest cheering when he Impressed his Blue. She had fun on her short trip to the Weyr for the Hatching. It was so cool to her to see all the colorful dragons, and for the next turn or two, she harbored the desire to Impress one herself. She later found out that it was best that she hadn't been Searched, as she learned her family was in talks to merge her family with another that was close to hers.
She met Randellen for the first time shortly before they were officially betrothed at 16. He was only a turn older than her, and not half bad to look at. As she spent time with him, she grew to adore and then love him. Soon enough, she was happy that they were to be married when she turned 18. She spent as much time as she could with him. He even gifted her a little white kitten as a betrothal gift that she named Opalescence.
Life has a funny way of throwing wrenches into things though. She had turned 18, and was in the final planning stages of her wedding when her brother visited. He had been able to have some leave time approved to help his family with the final touches. His dragon, which had Searched out candidates in the past, took an interest in her. He wanted Alerae to come to the Weyr as a Candidate. She was totally against the idea at first, as she was content with her lot in life. She brought up the silly occurence to Ranellen and he, surprisingly, encouraged her to try and Stand. He worded it as a way of seeing if their path was fated to be. She laughed as he always liked to spout off spirital nonsense like that. After more serious discussions though, she finally agreed. Afterall, what could it really hurt, if she went and stood for one Hatching? So she left her family and Ranellen to continue planning, as she was sure it was a silly mistake and she would be returning soon. R'nol took her to the Weyr and thus, she became a Candidate, if only for a little while.
