APPRENTICE DOLPHINEER POLYNA

Persona : Polyna
Writing Status : PC/Active
Age : 17
Gender : Female
Rank/Craft : Apprentice Dolphineer
Residence : DolphinCraft Hall
Birthingday : M3 D22 T22

Physical Description : Polyna isn't especially tall, short, fat, or thin: she's comfortably "in the middle". Her time as an apprentice dolphineer has left her pale skin seemingly permanently sunburned and dry from saltwater; there's always some part of her that's peeling away. She has a heart-shaped face, large green eyes, and sun-bleached blonde hair that falls to the middle of her back. Her nose is a little too big to be considered pretty, and her mouth is quirked up on one side. That, combined with the single dimple in her left cheek, makes her look slightly lopsided when she smiles (which is often).

Personality : Polyna is carefree individual who is supremely confident in herself and her abilities. She's not arrogant: she's just very much a realist who knows her limitations and faults and embraces them fully, as if they were a battle to be fought and won (but while having a good time, of course). She loves to play and doesn't see why work can't have a bit of fun included in it... this has gotten her into trouble more often than not. She's staunchly loyal to her friends but also very opinionated and not afraid to speak her mind, which can sometimes cause problems in the apprentice ranks.

Life Story : Polyna has, so far, lived a sheltered life. She grew up the daughter of a minor holder not far from Sonnette's Dawn Hold, in a holding shared with her father's family. She has no siblings, but is very close to her cousin Paecia, who Impressed the green Araveth at Thread's End Weyr in Turn 37. (Polyna is completely unabashed about asking for rides - all for Paecia's "practice", of course.) Polyna has never really yearned to Impress a dragon of her own; since the time she learned how to swim she has been fascinated with dolphins and the people who work with them. Of course, if one day Araveth decided to Search her for a clutch on the sands, she wouldn't say no! Elsewise Polyna enjoys working with the dolphins and their dolphineer partners and is quite content with her place on Pern.

Pet Name : Tansy
Pet Species : Firelizard
Pet Color : Gold

Pet Description : Tansy is friendly, chirpy little firelizard who, like her owner, loves to play games. She is endlessly curious and often sticks her little nose where it doesn't belong. She is a sunny golden-yellow in color and very dainty in size and proportion.
