FULL APPEARANCE: On the thinner side with lighter skin and ample bosom, Carthusia thinks of herself as stunning (though beauty is in the eye of the beholder!). Her full lips, button nose and larger eyes give her a traditionally "pretty" look. She does everything she can to look presentable at minimum and tries to bathe and style her hair as often as possible. Her hair is chest length and strawberry blonde, straight in texture and shiny in the right light due to this.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: The first thing one might notice about Carthusia is her haughty arrogance. She acts and speaks as though she's royalty that was born into the wrong caste of people and most others are simply beneath her. She tries only to associate herself with people of higher ranks than herself or people she perceives as powerful socially, politically or economically. She's cunning and manipulative when the risk isn't so great and will easily back down from scheming if approached by someone she thinks is superior or could punish her.

She has an immense chip on her shoulder, harboring the deep, wretched feeling of not being good enough. Instead of coping with these feelings in any healthy way, Carthusia strives to claw her way to prominence by whatever means are at her disposal. She will prove to everyone that she's worthy, one way or another. She's resourceful, good at planning and organizing herself to achieve her goals.

Carthusia is incredibly insecure and hypervigilant in most social settings. She loves to gossip and be vain with other women, especially beautiful ones. Healthy love is something she's completely unaware of and believes it's something Harpers invented to captivate audiences. The real world is a cruel and merciless place... and she would be its Queen.

HISTORY:

PARENT DEATH

Born second from the youngest in a large family of traders, Carthusia spent much of her life on the move with her caravan. Childhood was spent learning while overwintered in Telgar (where she was born), during stops in other Holds or in passing when other caravans or Harpers met up with them. Carthusia wasn't interested much in reading and writing but simply adored the stories others would tell of grand adventure and intrigue. She'd sit on the edge of her seat and beg for more stories well into the night.

As a trader, she was expected to know merchandise like the back of her hand. Her older brothers were the muscle and enforcement of the operation, protecting both family and inventory. The girls were the sweet talkers, the song-spinners and the enticement to buy. Their father did not show much interest in the children as individuals and only really regarded them as workers under his control. Carthusia started to realize this at a young age, wondering why her father didn't seem to like her, or any of them, very much.

She'd dream dreams of destiny, of standing out, of being noticed and would wake up disappointed that she was still in her cramped caravan wagon with the limbs of her myriad siblings tangled around her. She felt... replaceable. Indistinguishable. Invisible. And she grew to hate it.

When the twins were 12 turns, their mother passed away from a prolonged illness during the caravan's overwintered in Telgar. Carthusia didn't feel much for her mother for the woman never had much time for her and there wasn't much relationship to grieve. That turn, Carthusia began to work for whatever local tavern would have her for some spending money, only for her father to take "his cut" when he'd discovered his daughter's extra marks..

It was then that she began to plan her escape. Once the caravan made its way to High Reaches Hold, Carthusia slipped out of sight during the unloading and setup of inventory. She used her wits and status as a trader to find a more permanent position at a tavern in order to establish herself. She knew High Reaches Weyr was nearby, and what better way to escape a caravan than to take to the skies?

After working at the tavern and adjusting to life outside the caravan, High Reaches Hold was destroyed and a mass of refugees moved to the Weyr temporarily. Carthusia didn't wish for this to be temporary so she signed up to be a candidate in 2775.

What color(s) are you willing for your character to impress to?: It really depends on what the staff want out of me and out of her.

Do you have any other preferences or concerns?: Nope!
Why do you think these choice/s would be a good fit?: She's got a huge chip on her shoulder and an arrogant ego to match, so she thinks she deserves something special like a bronze or a gold. (Or, staff can mess with her and give her whatever they want!)

Do you have any preferences about the conditions of your character’s impression?: I'd love it if she impressed last. :3 Just to mess with her.
Are you alright with your character getting hurt? What injury level is acceptable/what should be avoided?: Anything up to moderate injuries that will heal with time!
