BASICS

NAME: Scara
GENDER: Cis woman
PRONOUNS: she/her/hers
ORIENTATION: Bi

BIRTHDATE: Early fall, 2749
AGE: 26 as of 2775
LOCATION: Semeca Weyr
OCCUPATION: Candidate
WING: n/a

APPEARANCE
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Black, curly
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5'6, slender
PLAY-BY: Keeya King
EXPY SOURCE: n/a
FULL APPEARANCE: Scara has a slender build and light brown skin. She wears her curly hair at shoulder length and ties it up when need be. She wears practical, tight-fitting clothes that can't get caught on anything, and typically doesn't wear much jewelry. She has an attractive face with full lips and delicate eyebrows, which she's happy to wear plain. While she's a little on the shorter side, she has ramrod straight posture and carries herself with the importance of someone who knows she's part of the future of protecting Pern.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Scara is proud and idealistic. She believes wholeheartedly that the protection of Pern is of the utmost importance, and doesn't suffer any slight against dragons. She can be stubborn and unyielding in her values, so much so that it's very easy to provoke her into a fight. She's not afraid of getting hurt, and she knows words don't always work.Scara thinks she's always right, which means she can come across as haughty and unempathetic if she doesn't agree with someone. She can be extremely inflexible, refusing to listen to someone even calmly explaining to her why her point of view might be incorrect or harmful.

Scara holds herself to extremely high standards, and does not settle for anything less than perfection from herself. She hopes to be a model dragonrider, the kind she would've liked to have seen growing up. When it comes to others, though, she is encouraging and understanding of limitations. She has a surprisingly patient side when it comes to people younger than her who are clearly struggling with something, and likes helping them find their own way of succeeding. She isn't afraid to call out an authority figure when she thinks they're making a bad call or criticize a rule that's obviously petty or outdated, but doesn't enjoy flouting them the way some of her fellow candidates clearly do.

HISTORY
FAMILY:
Fort Weyr dragonriders
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: None
BIRTHPLACE: Fort Weyr
HISTORY:
Scara was born at Fort, where the regular power struggles and conflicts left a deep impression on her. From a young age, she was deeply aware of these struggles, and it pissed her off how often people were willing to put dragons in danger over petty politics. While she saw the value of the color hierarchy, she thought it caused more issues than it solved, particularly since every dragon could contribute to thread fighting in their own ways. She began to blame traditionalists for many of the Weyr's problems, meanwhile the scandal over the stolen clutch from Fort she attributed to the individualism of the Weyrs, and has since been vocal in her belief that Weyrs need to prioritize working together. After all, Weyrs whose populations get low shouldn't have to rely on the goodwill of other Weyrs to replenish them. If one Weyr falls, that becomes everyone's problem, don't the other Weyrs realize that?

Scara has been fascinated by the Southern Continent ever since it was discovered. A land unprotected by dragons yet still covered in greenery? As Semaca Weyr slowly established itself, she also was drawn to the idea of living at a Weyr where the hierarchy truly didn't matter, where there were no silly Holders with their silly ideas to distract from what truly mattered. She had been flirting with the idea of putting in for a transfer for a few turns, but finally decided to make it official after she didn't impress in the last Fort clutch, and because who wouldn't want to run away to a tropical south when winter hits?

IC Information
What type of candidate is your character: Dragon

What color/s does your character want?: Any but gold, since they aren't allowed to fight thread, and that's what she really wants to do. She also has a slight preference for the smaller chromatics since they're the first line of defense against thread, and thus see the most action.
Does your character have any personality preferences or concerns?: She wants a dragon as fierce and dedicated to fighting thread as she is
Does your character have any other preferences or concerns?: She does not want a weak, soft dragon, or one physically incapable of fighting thread

OOC Information
If your character is a dual candidate IC, do you have a strong preference on whether they Impress dragon or wher?: n/a

What color(s) are you willing for your character to impress to?: Any
Do you want your character to be eligible for gold?: Yes
Do you have any personality preferences or concerns?: I trust staff
Do you have any other preferences or concerns?: No
Why do you think these choice/s would be a good fit?: Scara takes her duties seriously and would be a good partner to any threadfighting dragon. For any dragons that can't fight, she'd be forced to confront the fact that she does think lesser of any dragon that can't/won't flame, and either of those could be fun to play.


Do you have any preferences about the conditions of your character’s impression?: Nope
Are you alright with your character getting hurt? What injury level is acceptable/what should be avoided?: Any injuries are fine short of death
Are you willing to impress a creature with a mutation/oddity? Anything that should be avoided?: Any are fine
