BASICS

NAME: Alisa
GENDER: Female
PRONOUNS: she/her/hers
ORIENTATION: Unknown

BIRTHDATE: (Early Summer 2754)
AGE: (20 as of 2774)
LOCATION: High Reaches
OCCUPATION: WherCandidate
WING: N/A

APPEARANCE
EYES: Mossy Green
HAIR: Auburn brown, long and wavy
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5'7, slender
PLAY-BY: Jade Chynoweth
EXPY SOURCE: None
FULL APPEARANCE: Alisa is not the most imposing figure you've ever met. She stands at an average height and is of a lighter build. Her face carries a very youthful look to it. Not that she is all that old, but she's grown as she would be quick to remind people. A smattering of freckles across her cheekbones and nose along with a general softness to her features marked her as young, yet something in her eyes seemed to contradict that notion with their depth of understanding. She moves not quite with the grace of a dancer, but not quite clumsily either. Her movements are careful, calculated and typically unhurried. Her general lack of muscular stature spoke of a life not accustomed to heavy labor of any kind.

Alisa dresses in a way that is neat but unadorned. She seems to value comfort and function over style. She dresses in a lot of lighter colors and typically dresses warmly as she seems to always be cold. Her form is unmarred by scarring or marking, this being a testament to her seemingly careful nature.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Alisa is a very quiet, very gentle soul. Her mannerism is very calm, tranquil even. She's a lady of very few words and the words she does speak are spoken slowly and with just a bit of a stutter. This is a source of anxiety and she is a touch sensitive about it which only reinforces her need to not say too much. She is a very sweet girl, gentle in her approach to most everything. But this factor comes as both a positive as well as a detriment. Alisa is rarely willing to stand up for herself, much preferring to either ignore problems or run away from them rather than to face them.

Alisa is not the most knowledgeable being around but she is very observant so manages to get by well enough. Her short term memory is very inconsistent, so it is quite difficult for her to commit things to memory making teaching her very tedious and often frustrating as things have to be explained to her again and again at times. Her best work is done when in a group where she can join others and do as they do. She takes great pleasure in stories and art and can often be found in the company of Harpers for lesson or song, it matters not to her. Sometimes when she's feeling particularly bold she'll tell stories herself... But her audiences are always small.

Alisa may not be strong in the academics but her imagination soars among the stars. One of her favorite ways to pass the time is to draw what she sees... Ranging from the humblest of wherries to the grandest of mountains, many things are drawn as she sees them. She finds pictures to be a much easier way to express herself than through words... Now if only she could find a way to hold a conversation using them instead.

HISTORY
FAMILY: Aliyah (Mother, Green Wherhandler, Deceased), Saraso (Father, Baker)
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: None
BIRTHPLACE: Igen Weyr
HISTORY: Alisa's story begins in Igen Weyr, born to Aliyah and Saraso. She was being raised by Saraso, spending most of her childhood with her father, learning his trade. She was always a bit of an easily distracted child so she never found a lot of aptitude for baking... Managing to burn a lot of food, very little of it being fit for consumption. But still her father was patient with her and continued to teach her what he knew. She much preferred to spend her time alone but her father worried that so much time alone was not good for a person. Now Alisa would argue that she didn't spend all her time alone... But her father consistently told her that she couldn't just spend all her time with Aliyask no matter how much she loved her mother's Wher.

He tried to get her involved with other kids that lived near them with varying success. She was a friendly enough child but was always fairly aloof. She was very late when it came to her vocalization, so late that her parents thought something might be quite wrong but began to learn to speak but often preferred not to.

Alisa's life was fairly quiet with her father, her mother being as active in their life as she could given there very different schedules but Alisa was happy just helping out with her father's craft and spending a lot of time on her own. There was much talk on what Alisa's future would be. Would she learn to join her father in his craft? Would she follow her mother's path? Would she forge her own?

Life was good in Igen, but a large change was on the horizon. Her mother took a transfer to High Reaches Weyr in the Spring of the 2767th turn and her father made the decision to follow her there. So it was the the three of them packed up and headed to a very new scene. But change wasn't always good... Thread plagued the land and their new home took very heavy losses... And in exactly one year from their arrival, these losses included her mother and her Wher. Her father was devastated but turned everything he had to taking care of his young daughter. Alisa withdrew into herself coping in the only manner she knew how. The next few years were dark for the two as they learned how to cope without the other half of their little family.

Saraso made the decision to stay in their new home and forge their new life here. Turns went by but some scars would not heal. Over the last turn Alisa has voiced a new desire... To follow in her mother's footsteps. At first her father was vehemently against it but after Alisa explained her reasoning and he could see her heart was truly in this path, he relented allowing her to step onto the path to becoming a handler as her mother had been before her. Was she setting herself up for failure? Her father up for more heartbreak than he can take? Only time would tell but finally it seemed that this wayward young lady had some idea just who she wanted to be.

Lisask

link to full size image

BASICS

NAME: Lisask
BIRTHDATE Late Spring 2775
AGE: Hatchling as of 2775

APPEARANCE
LENGTH: 13ft
HEIGHT: 4ft
COLOR: Blue
HEX CODE: #127fdb
FULL APPEARANCE:
A lean, brightly colored wher, Lisask is built to be active. He has a lean face, and moves lightly on his feet. He is the color of bright blue dyes, with brighter, sky-bold blue stripes in a pattern all over him from his face to his tailtips. He is quick on his feet, though he may not have the overall stamina to keep up with long gold chases, but that is okay with him.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
This is a wher who knows everything goes in its proper place, and that everyone must do their part to ensure that the Weyr runs like a proper, well-kept ship. Lisask needs to check everything to make sure that things are that way. He will be into everything, and can be very forceful if things are not. He will personally try to clean up hallways and organize store rooms if allowed, or if not given constant supervision. One cannot play pranks with him, as when he is 'on duty' he is incredibly focused and strict. Some of his siblings may believe that the weyr only runs smoothly because he is taking charge.

To his handler, Lisask is much the same way. He cares a lot about many things, especially about others he works with. He is a wonderful teammate, bright and compassionate. He loves to work, and will likely be pulling his handler out of bed the second he is awake. There's always something to be done, and he's satisfied with a good night's work. Few things make him happier than going to bed knowing that things are working as they should be.

Voice: Lisask has an unusual accent, chipper and unforgettable.

Why Me?: Lisask will be the partner and friend Alisa needs to help her seize some initiative over her own life.
