Character Number: 1st
Character Name: Amileah
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexual Preference: Heterosexual
Personality: There are many facets to Amileah’s personality, but the one that most stands out is her kindness and her love of fun. She is very sympathetic to others’ plights and is always willing to lend an ear. She makes friends very easily, probably having something to do with her easy acceptance of people. To tell the truth, sometimes she can be entirely too trusting, but it most of the time works in her favor. Despite her trusting nature, she is not naïve and can be extremely manipulative with her charm, which is naturally radiant.
Despite the fact she loves people and crowds, she can often be found by herself as well, especially when she gets into reading a book or deeply involved in her art. If that is the case, she normally gets very absorbed in what she is doing, which means you need to physically touch her to get her attention, since just saying her name tends to go ignored.
It takes a lot to get Amileah angry with you. And even when she is, she rarely shows it. Instead, she stuffs the feeling down, letting it build up. That is how she deals with any type of negative emotion, so it tends to build up within her until something sets her off. Then it is all unleashed at once, which is not really emotionally healthy. Usually, after such a purge, she tends to be withdrawn and will normally avoid people, being uncharacteristically antisocial.
Appearance: Being a tall woman, Amileah is used to the intimidation factor she carries sometimes. Standing at 5’11 and weighing over 200 pounds (mostly muscle, thank goodness), she is certainly not what you’d picture when you think of a woman. She’s probably never been petite in her life and can always remember being the tallest girl in her age group. Though her height used to bother her, now she can sometimes even be seen in heeled boots that tend to push her height up another couple of inches.
Her face is rather round, but that just makes her seem kind and friendly, especially when she smiles. Her grins are infectious, showing off her slightly crooked front teeth and her dimples. Her eyes are big and slightly tilted, which show off her pale green eyes beautifully. The lashes around her eyes are thick, but short, and are a slightly darker brown than her hair, which is cut short to frame her face.
History: Being born into a family of vintners, Amileah has always been around fine wines and cordials. From the age of five, she had been raised at her father’s knee as he made his fine wines and other beverages, learning his secrets. Because of the fact both her parents were masters at their craft, it was always intended that Amileah follow in their footsteps, just as her two older siblings were. However, her interests lay in other things.
When she wasn’t doing her duties as an apprentice, she could usually be found with her nose in texts. It didn’t matter what the book was about, as long as it was something for her to read. Because of this, she became a fountain of knowledge about different areas, not just as a vintner. Also, during her free time, she discovered her ability as an artist which was encouraged by her hold’s resident harper.
In time, her parents realized that with no drive, Amileah could learn all of their secrets, yet still not make it to journeywoman. So they let her go to choose her own path. Immediately Amileah began spending more time with the harper, practicing her skills. After a while, the harper let Ami travel with him, which is how she came to know a girl who claimed she could hear dragons. The girl offered to get her into a weyr as a candidate, only not one of the the weyrs Ami knew about. Taking a chance, she agreed and was brought to Crater Weyr, her new home.
