Candidate Application
Name: Jista
Age: 15 Turns
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Rank: Dragon Candidate
Appearance: Jista stands at 5'1 and weighs 130 lbs. Her hair is a deep auburn, almost brown, color with tight curls in it. On hot days her hair is pulled back so she can try to keep cool, but the rest of the time its down and carefree. Her skin is sunkissed from a lot of time in the sun. Every muscle in her body is hardened from a lot of use growing up.
Jista's clothes are always comfortable. She wears whites and light browns and leather shoes. When its cold she wears the proper clothing and furs. The only time she wears dresses or other party clothes is when there are some kind of festivities like Graduations for Weyrlings and Wherlings. Her dresses consist of colors such as dark blues, dark greens, and even some light colors such as pinks and purples.
On really hot days she wears light clothes that help her keep cool. The material is very light (like cotten). She makes sure its soft, but comfortable. When the event arises she wears the proper swimwear into the water and tries to swim (she fails miserably).
Personality: Jista is a smart and caring girl. She has always been interested in helping others and was never afraid to speak her mind when she wanted to point out a mistake. Jista thought it was better to be hit for speaking one's mind then not speaking it at all. Jista learned from a young age that if one didn't speak their mind about anything then they wouldn't have the courage to stand up for themselves.
Jista doesn't like bullies or anyone who harms those weaker than themselves don't deserve anything. Jista tries to protect those who hadn't been taught to stand up for themselves. If anything she will do what she can to get them to come out of their shells so to speak. Another thing that she doesn't like besides bullies is disorganization. Jista tries her best to keep herself organized most of the time, but sometimes she fails and can't find anything. Being disorganized causes her to be frustrated and she doesn't like being frustrated.
One thing that Jista is very frightened of is drowning. Since she was little she has just been naturally afraid of water... well not when it comes to bathing or drinking, but the kind where you have to actually swim. Jista has tried hard to get over her fear, but she has yet to be successful. She hopes that she will have the help she needs and finally enjoy swimming like normal people.
Family: Jiskim (Father, trader, 45), Ivesta (Mother, trader, 42), and Iveskim (Brother, trader, 19)
Background: Jista was born to traders Jiskim and Ivesta. Her older brother, Iveskim was already starting to learn the trade when he was four Turns old. Jista was born at Crom Hold on one of her parents' trade routes. The girl traveled with her parents for many Turns and sometimes when they visited a Hold they would see a group of Searchriders there resting and Searching. Jista was always interested in the Dragonriders, but she had no plans to be a Dragonrider.
Her parents wanted her to marry and be a trader like them. The girl spent all of her time learning and training to be a trader. Much as she disliked the idea of being a trader she knew that there wasn't really anything she could do about it. When Jista was fourteen Turns old and visiting Tillek Hold with the rest of the traders a band of Searchriders appeared. Like so many other times the girls ignored the riders, but this time they didn't ignore her.
Jista was busy spreading out their tradewares for the Hold to look over and trade with what they had when one of the Dragonriders tapped her on the shoulder. A short distance away her father watched with a guarded expression. The rider told Jista that she had been chosen. With a blink of surprise she turned to her father for guideance. For a moment the man did nothing and then he nodded. Jista gulped and went with the rider to South Run Weyr where she started her new life as a Candidate.
