APPEARANCE
EYES: Green
HAIR: Brown, Wavy
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5’4, muscular enough to do work, but not more than that.
FULL APPEARANCE:
Pom does her best to stay as clean as possible. Her hair is a wavy brown mess that doesn’t tend to lie flat most of the time. Her skin is tanned from being outside most of the time, and she has freckles all over from working with the sheep. She tends to repair her own clothing if she can manage, so what few outfits she owns are a toss up between neatly repaired or haphazardly sewn together.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Pom is timid. No ifs, ands or buts. She tends not to speak up unless she absolutely has to, and will usually go along with the group. However, she still tries very hard to be brave with varying results. She can be skittish and superstitious, as well as naive and uninformed in the ways of dragons and Weyr life. But despite her fear, she is curious. She wants to learn, even if she’s hesitant to take chances and stray from where she’s most comfortable. When she can stand up for what she believes in, it takes a lot to get her to back down.
Despite not being very well versed in weyr life, she can read people better than one might expect. She’s very in tune with people’s emotions, and tries hard to not judge that which she doesn’t understand. Pom also values hearing as many sides to a story as she can, and will do her best to coax or sniff out what info she can without attracting TOO much attention if she can manage.
HISTORY

BIRTHPLACE: Fort Weyr area cothold
HISTORY:
Pom had always been a farming girl. She was raised in the local creche and has only ever known her older brother as family. She kept her head down, and did what she could to be useful to her community. They were mostly farmers and shepherds with very few with an actual farmercraft education. Woogu wanted to go away to learn farmercrafting, and he gladly left Pom to her own devices.
Slowly, she grew up, helping to tend to the kids in the Creche and even learning how to be a shepherd. It wasn’t TOO hard, considering she could make the connections between herding sheep and herding children. Hers was a peaceful existence and it would have stayed that way had the searchdragon never landed in their midst.
Pom had never seen a dragon before. Not up close. It was kind of terrifying, in a way, but also quite awe inspiring. She joined the crowd to greet the rider, only to get singled out by the dragon. Pom was terrified when they nosed her, but she snapped out of it when she was chosen as a potential candidate. She honestly wasn’t sure what to do, but the crowd was egging her on to join the rider, a very kind woman who told her she didn’t have to do anything she didn’t want to.
But pom wanted to. Even if she was afraid.
So she’d pack up what little she owned, and she’d take off on dragonback. It was a terrifying experience and going Between was a lot for her. But she’d survive, and get to Fort Weyr in one piece.
