FULL APPEARANCE:
Levysc is about average height and build. Her complexion is coppery, smooth, and largely unblemished. Upturned, concave nose and high cheekbones further emphasize her existing femininity. There is a particularly prominent mole under her right eye -- her 'beauty mark' as she prefers to describe it. She wears her longish black hair loose and fluffy, letting it do mostly whatever it wants.
She is particularly meticulous about cleanliness and bathing and enjoys feeling fresh. Consequently, she tends to exude the scent of soap -- when she doesn't smell like Candidate chores. She prefers light, brightly-colored blouses -- the more flamboyant, the better -- with contrasting simple pants and ever-dependable leather boots.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Levysc is a happy, chatty, vivacious extravert with a loud, confident voice. She is something of a 'force of nature', bold and shameless and shining bright. She is largely unafraid to back up her assertions, even when faced with a high probability of abject failure. She takes responsibility where others shy away, seizing life to the fullest degree. This girl lives in, and for, the moment.
Levysc can be charismatic, with a love of flirtatious gestures, jokes, and wordplay. Despite her general intensity, she enjoys a light, casual, spontaneous social climate. However, there is always the chance of her behavior escalating even in low-key situations. She sometimes finds herself cast as 'the life of the party', though does not usually have the discernment to skillfully handle the role upon attainment... .
Her elevated core nature often leads to her downfall, especially when paired with her lack of life experience and overall nearsightedness. Her high-flying attitude quickly turns pretentious and condescending when frustrated. She has tough standards and is easily disappointed. Levysc is bossy and will gladly impose her principles on others, typically violating boundaries in the process. Her view of what the 'perfect world' should be is often questionable and biased selfishly in her own favor.
Further complicating Levysc's appraisal of her environment is her deep-seated inattentiveness -- she is too self-centered, to the point of shutting out current events and outside opinions [basically, the 'real world']. She tends to miss out on important details which leads to some seriously erroneous, forgetful conclusions on her part.
Levysc enjoys hiking in the wilderness; when there's no Threads falling, that is. She dreams of exploring uncharted lands.

SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: Igen Weyr
HISTORY:
Levysc came to this world wedged firmly into the position of 'middle child'. Born several years after her brother, she was only really able to lord seniority over her baby sister. From birth, she was a snobby, domineering child with a forceful personality.
Her parents, both riders at Igen, were generally kind and supportive toward their offspring. However, they were perhaps too permissive and indulgent of their various whimsies, seemingly unwilling to acknowledge their behavioral disparities. Aten plain ignored her, but she habitually succeeded in cowing shy Nesca until the younger got old enough to put an end to Levysc's folly. She learned the meaning of boundaries, if begrudgingly, when Nesca cleverly turned her own bullying back on her. The relationship improved somewhat as both matured, though would always remain sarcastic even at the best of times.
For her 10th nameday, her parents presented her with a firelizard egg. Bonding under their supervision, she named the resulting Garnet 'Primrose'. It seemed she was destined to follow in her family's footsteps, alongside Nesca. Both sisters would choose to become Candidates when their respective times to Stand finally arrived.
Through Candidacy, Levysc lost some of her prior immaturity. Of course, like every other weyrbrat, she wanted nothing more than to Impress a dragon or wher. She was effectively disincentivized from remaining too unruly; her behavior no longer reaped the same rewards, especially not when faced with the very real consequence of washing-out. However, she would never quite lose her childish streak. A mounting combination of impatience, titillating Weyr gossip describing all manner of exotic lands that lay beyond Igen, and boredom with her surroundings pushed her to suddenly declare one fateful season that she would be leaving home.
Levysc transferred to Semaca Weyr in the Early Summer of 2776, dreaming of adventure.
