Name: Tola
Rank: Candidate
Age: 19
Craft: Healer
Craft Rank: Junior Journeywman
Pet Namee: KoylePet Type: Feline
Brief Description of Persona:
Tola is of middle height and weight. She has
rounded features that approach plump, combined with her relish for food do not
bode well for the slim figure she envisions for her future. She has darker olive
coloured skin and darker eyes to match. Her hair clashes with her other dark
features, it is a non-descript dirty blonde.
STola is a vain creature and thinks rather a
lot of herself. Driven and direct, her mind is sharp and sarcastic and her
tongue acid. Her matronly like image fools many into thinking that it houses
that type of spirit and she relishes in proving them quite wrong.
Manipulative and high-strung, it doesn't take much for her to snap if things
don't go her way. She detests letting her emotions get the better of her and it
happens rarely. She neither likes nor dislikes quickly or without careful
consideration. Tola is a person centered on control, of herself and her
environment. She likes her space and makes it well known. She is not good with
close relationships, preferring distance and control. Somewhere she has a sense
of humour but it is long buried and as always, controlled.
All in all, Tola doesn't like chance or change because it violates her perfectly
controlled life.
Brief History of Persona:
Tola was born in a minor hold and almost immediately
found herself something of an outcast in the close-knit family. As soon as she
was of apprentice age she was shipped off by her dismayed family. When Tola
chose the healer craft for her apprenticeship was no small surprise to the
girl's family, who did not think a people-orientated craft was something that
suited their reticent daughter. Tola persisted and eventually got her way,
though she never did explain the choice completely, even to herself.
Tola was a good student and it did not take her long to pass from a junior
apprentice to senior. She achieved her journeywoman's knots with the same driven
manner she applied to everything else. However, her cold and reserved nature as
well as her lack in choosing a direction on which to focus her studies, troubled
her masters. Instead of sending her to a smaller hold, which is what she had
both requested and expected, Tola was sent to Coral Reef Weyr. What her master's
expected her sojourn at the weyr to do for her personality or work they did not
specify. Tola herself is resigned to the fact that the Weyr is to be her new
home, but has refused the idea that it will change her. Imagine on her surprise
when she arrived and was pronounced as suitable candidate material by a passing
search dragon. She was almost affronted by the suggestion and refused on the
spot. However, since than doubts have been creeping into her mind and perhaps
all it will take is the right person to convince her what she might gain by
standing.
Brief Description of Pet:
Koyle is a tom cat that has managed to worm his way into Tola's unknowing
affections. A accosted her as a ragged kitten and has taken possession of her
since. As an adult, Koyle is as decrepit looking as he was as a kitten. His
tabby colouring is peppered with scars, his one eye is permanently in a
half-closed droop, his ears and tail are ratty, and more often than not his nose
is swollen. An aloof and rarely affectionate cat, who likes to disappear for
days on end, Koyle and Tola get along fine.
