FULL APPEARANCE:
A softer looking woman who balances out her pale skin, light colored hair and bright blue eyes with a stern glare and cold expression, Kihaza looks intimidating to a point solely based on her innate ability to theoretically stare into your soul. She most definitely suffers from 'resting b*tch face'. Her nose is slightly crooked as a result of it being broken and never properly fixed and she pierced both of her ears when she was a child, leading to her always wearing earrings.
Kihaza likes to wear professional looking clothing, often in colors of red or brown, sometimes oranges. The combination of long coats, long dresses and boots is usually her go-to.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Kihaza is a stern, semi-pessimistic woman with a bitter disposition. Yes, she may be a little bit cold, but that is just because she has a hard time with interpersonal connections. It is not that she cannot carry on a conversation, because she most certainly can, it is more that she cannot empathize easily with others. Her brain deals better with analytics than the human thought process, too many variables at play all at once. Though, it can be said that she occasionally makes an attempt to try and understand what others are feeling. Because she does not create the closest of bonds with others, she is fairly good at not favoring one person over the other, she has no real biases on one's opinion to the next. She isn't the most loyal, and that also stems from her poor alliance making skills, rather, she has her foot in every door, keeping them open at all times if she needs to run through one or the other to make a deal happen or have a quick friend on her side. Multiple options of action make for multiple ways to get through a situation.
She is rarely intentionally cruel to anybody, she sees no real point in raising her voice in order to advance herself or bring others down, nor does pointless violence interest her. Kihaza is calm, speaks smoothly and tries her hardest to act with grace. However, due to her unconscious scowl, she has some vague knowledge that she tends to put others off, not to mention that her speech pattern tends to throw in unintentional off-hand, condescending comments that may put others down. If pushed to her limits, which are on a very high bar, she does tend to get violent and a little bit vulgar in the way she talks.
Planning out things, making schedules, mathematics, Kihaza has always found herself excelling in these things. Reading any sort of material she can get her hands on in her down time is her favorite activity and she enjoys trying to have a little bit of background in multiple subjects. She shouldn't be considered an expert in any real field of anything however.
HISTORY
FAMILY: Hazan (father, deceased), Kiarna (mother, alive), Hazakar (older brother, alive), Kiaraz (little sister, alive)
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: Fort Weyr
HISTORY:
Kihaza was the middle child, yet, unlike some families, she never tried to stretch for any attention. Quietly sticking her nose into a book, reading alone, practicing math for fun, she found that attention wasn't what she wanted. She enjoyed her solitude, and because of it her interpersonal abilities never truly flourished. The pursuit of knowledge was what she was after, not the spotlight. So, day in, day out, she found a new book, she tried to either learn a new skill or improve on an older one.
Admiring the dragonriders and wherhandlers from afar, she believed them to hold a knowledge that she did not posses nor fully describe. They had a companion who would always be there for them, if longevity allowed. If she could become one of them, Impress to a dragon or wher, she may be able to understand and attain that sort of knowledge, so she became a candidate. While chores were boring and tedious more often than not, she couldn't deny that she loved the classwork. The readings, the homework, to Kihaza, it was all a joy.
At the age of twenty, several years after she'd been a candidate and stood to no avail, she stood once more on the sands. She figured, what's another hatching on top of so many in passing? Yet, a green broke free of her egg and bounced her way over to the blonde. Ariaath had chosen her rider and Kihaza couldn't be more excited. Afterwards, the greenrider duo continued to live at Fort, living from day to day without much change. After getting word of Semaca, she was intrigued and wanted to see what it was all about. One visit turned into two, and eventually the pair transferred to Semaca to live there.
