Weyr: Black Sands (though this will change to a Hold soon and then Skrull)
Name: Rosia
Gender:Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Rank:Weyrfolk
Age: 17
Appearence: Despite being reassured as a child that she would in fact grow taller one day, Rosia never quite reached 5'3. A slip of a girl as a child, both in build and stature, upon puberty the young woman developed well rounded hips, buttocks and prominent breasts, however with her narrow waist it gives her a feminine hour glass figure. However for someone as tomboyish and active as Rosia is, she finds her womanly curves a nuisance and hides herself in loose, rather drab coloured, shirts and pants. This does nothing to flatter her, giving the impression she is bigger than she actually is particularly when her short stature is taken into account. The number of times Rosia has worn a dress or skirt since being old enough to cloth herself can be counted on the one hand.
Until four Turns of age Rosia had lovely golden brown hair that flowed in gentle waves ending just short of her backside. However a careless drudge left a knife lying around and the young girl took to her hair with it, giving herself a dreadfully ragged hair cut so that her mother Dabria was compelled to have the child's hair properly cut short, pixie style, with a fringe just skimming her eyebrows. To this day Rosia keeps her hair in the same manner, not having the time or the care to maintain anything of length.
Rosia's face is long and oval shaped with a broad forehead. The bridge of her nose is long, however the width slender with the tip of her nose just tapering off. She also has full, pinkish lips. Rosia's eyes are feline-shaped, offset by long eyelashes and are a vibrant blue with greyish/very pale blue particularly towards the white of the eyes. She has a naturally rosy complexion, with a pale to warm skin tone sporting pinkish undertones. She has two noticebale scars, and a number of other bruises and smaller scars, one on her right thigh due to an argument over who won a running race and one running jaggedly along her chest and partially over her left breast when attempting a jump that was to great for her short legs.
Personality: Rosia is an active and restless young woman. She is very much a doer rather than a talker, and is not afraid to get her her hands, or the rest of herself, dirty should it be required. She cares very little for her appearance and of what others should think of her. While she has strong opinions about certain matters, she usually keeps these to herself unless called open to defend them. However this does not mean she is reserved. An amicable and out-going character, Rosia gets along well with most people and can hold her own in any conversation.
She is very competitive and feels she has to prove she is best in whatever she does, even things her height, and sometimes gender, give her a distinct disadvantage in. Rosia also likes to feel as if she has some purpose, and readily steps into the role of protecter unbidden to whether it be towards family, friends or even Pern. (This is the explanation for why she so greatly desires to be a dragonrider; to be able to save Pern from Thread.) Rosia fears very little in life and is self-confident. An independent young woman she will rarely ask anyone to help her, and then only do so reluctantly.
While she at times may act impetously and say things without thinking them thoroughly through, she will be quick to apologise when she calms down and recognises sh was wrong, and she rarely ever holds a grudge.
Rosia has a great love for her parents although she was raised by a foster-mother and in particular idolised her mother, hoping one day she too could follow in her mother's footsteps and become Black Sands' Weyrwoman.
History: Rosia was the result of a mating flight between the then Weyrwoman and Weyrleader of Black Sands, as was her brother D'hrian four Turns before her. She was given into the hands of a kind and loving foster-mother but never forgot who her genetic parents were and admired Dabria often from afar. The interactions Rosia had with her mother were often sporadic but cherished nonetheless and from early on Rosia aspired to be just like the Weyrwoman Dabria.
Rosia was a rambunctious child, and much preferred to play with her brother's friends rather than the 'babies' (her own words) that were her own age. The young girl thought they had more fun and adventure and while this often earnt her the scorn of the older children for the better part they all managed to get along quite well. Of course an active child is prone to accidents and Rosia had her fair share including the same arm (her right) broken twice, a twisted ankle, a broken collarbone and a myriad of scratches, grazes, cuts and bruises. As she matured her tendencies to prefer being outdoors and active did not change.
With D'myn's arrival to Black Sands Weyr, and prompt usurption of Rosia's father as Weyrleader, the perceptive young woman noticed a change in her mother. Dabria had always been busy but she was now more withdrawn, she laughed and smiled less and rarely ever spoke about any Weyr business, something that had been the highlight of past conversations for Rosia. While Rosia was unsure of to the nature of Weyr politics she could recognise the change precipitated by D'myn not just in her mother but Black Sands in general.
When Dabria died only a few months ago under what seemed rather suspicious circumstances to Rosia, the young girl bottled up her grief in side, not letting herself shed even one tear. What use would crying have done after all? Her mother was dead and tears were no help to anyone. And while some of the Weyr have perceived Rosia's lack of visible emotion as rather cold-hearted, for those that know Rosia well and how she copes with things it is undeniable her mother's death has left her troubled.
While at the moment Rosia is just general help around the Weyr she dreams of Impressing, even more so now, however thus far she has been unsuccessful.
