PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Nothing is more important to Kiaya than her family, after all, she has to protect her two younger sisters and make sure Cotozi doesn't get into too much trouble. Kiaya feels like she is the only one who can bully her siblings around. If any outsider tries to threaten them or hurt them they'll be met with her protective nature. Kiaya is a little odd, to say the least, she'll bite people if she dislikes them and will scrap with them if she feels provoked. A little bit of a spoiled brat, she'll whine and moan if not given what she wants, then proceed to pout at those around her to have them feel pity for her and give her what she wants.
Otherwise, she's curious about the world around her, often wandering off on her own. Now confined to the Weyr itself, she wishes she was back on the outside where she could do all she wanted. She'll have to settle with gawking over dragons, whers, and fire lizards for now. Kiaya has trust issues, her trust is something that has to be gained over time. Being holdless for so long has ingrained this distrust of all strangers into her, she believes they must not be trusted for they could dislike them for having been holdless.

BIRTHPLACE: Holdless Camp
HISTORY:
Born to holdless parents, Kiaya was the second born of the family. Innocent of the acts her parents committed, she learned growing up that wherever they went others would avoid them. Turned away at holds, she realized the rest of Pern didn't like them, she grew to resent the rest of society for abandoning them. Life was tough with two little sisters to keep care of and with thread falling, Kiaya assumed a protector role. And life was just a cycle of having fun with the rest of the holdless and trying to survive.
The blight hit. Kiaya at age 7 didn't exactly understand why all the adults were so worried all the time, or why they seemed to eat less. For her all that mattered was that her sisters were okay, that they were all still moving and going. But hunger grew and it grew with each passing day, the scraps just weren't enough and Kiaya demanded what couldn't be given to her. By some sort of miracle, new people joined them. At first, Kiaya did not like them, perchance they had food and the children had new games to play, but it didn't stop her from distrusting them. Years passed and eventually came to trust and love them as if they'd always been there.
A snowstorm hit their camp one cold winter in 2775, and their traveling companions scattered, it seemed that this one storm they would not survive. The snow kept falling thickly everywhere, and friends never to be seen again. High Reaches Weyr came to their rescue and brought a top dragon wing to High Reaches a place where Kiaya will have to adapt to and come to a new rhythm of life alongside her sisters.
