Name: Akashma
Age: 25 turns
Gender: Female
Orientation: Bi-curious
Rank: Wher handler/candidate
Pets: Lunar, four turn Blue fire lizard; a 'crotchety old man' who likes n** fingers and reek havoc amongst younger children. And Solar, three turn Green Fire lizard; an 'everlasting hatchling' who loves to cause general mischief when alone with Akashma, but takes her 'guard duty' seriously when it comes to Akashma. Her favorite place to perch being on heads, where she'll make 'nests' out of the perches hair.
Personality: Akashma is a quite and misunderstood woman. She's the girl who sits in the back of the room and watches the partygoers, wishing she could join in as well... Well... sometimes... When challenged with wrong information or just plain disrespected she's very forceful. She loves to please and is fiercely loyal (Being a twin.. unfortunately her brother has long since disappeared). She's a very fun person to know.. if you can get passed her... condition... Once she's decided to go after something she'll stick with it until the day she dies.
On the other side of the spectrum, sometime she's just plain ditsy. She'll giggle at nothing and run around insanely. She wouldn't have this 'fun' if she had some friends, but she's used to being with someone twenty four seven. Before her brother vanished they'd play all sorts of games, she could be the immature child and he'd be the adult. When he left she had to be both.
She also hoards pets and pet like things. Attempting to replace her long gone brother with other things that love her. One could say its an obsessive need of hers. She only has not ventured to people because it would be 'cheating' on her brother. That and having a sort of Twin syndrome, where no-one but her twin can understand her. While this may be in her head, she avoids forming attachments with other people.
Description: Akashma has a rare genetic condition which both her parents carried. She is Albino. She has some eye pigmentation, but that's about it. Her skin isn't white as a ghost, mind you, but she is rather pale. She can but makeup on to somewhat hide how odd she is, but it cannot be denied completely.
Her favorite clothes are dark, skirts with long stockings her favorite. She also loves to dress up. Flowing dresses, extravagant patterns. Jewels and sparkly hair pins. Any of those are on the top of her 'do want' list. She can often be bribed with them. She's very skilled at sewing, as well as sculpting. Her favorite sculptures to make are those of dragons and their riders.
With her hoarding syndrome her room is also filled with toys, overstuffed blankets, and all things that are 'pleasing' to her. If she was still on Earth she would be considered the 'crazy cat lady' preferring small, furry, things to larger, or non 'furred' things. But, seeing as Earth is long gone, she uses her toys, and occasionally fire lizards to take the place. With her sewing abilities it's not to be said that she hasn't tried to make Solar 'fuzzy wuzzy' more than once, with small clothing, of course.
History:Her parents were thrilled when they heard the news, twin! On the day of the delivery, one perfectly healthy dark haired boy and one pale girl. The two twins were inseparable until just recently, when her brother disappeared. Akashma spent her time inside, reading, while her brother practiced martial arts outside. He was her protector, her provider, her everything... until he left. She didn't know where he went, and waited a turn or two for him when he never returned she went in denial, leaving by night and taking up residence in Bendon hold. She figured maybe he went to impress a dragon.
She never found her brother, but found her way into a Weyr atop a Brown by the name of Risith. Akashma wasn't searched, but begged to come along, the rider reluctantly bringing her with. When she tried to impress, she failed. Multiple times. Her dreams of finding her brother wobbling by her in the form of any number of hatchling dragons. She didn't doubt is was because of her condition, or because she only wanted a dragon to find her brother. She gave up, facing the cold reality that he left her in the dust. A cold, harsh reality for the twin.
Even after she took her sight off of a dragon she traveled briefly to Bendon hold to visit her father, the second most important man in her life. She learned from her deranged mother that he had moved to Bedon weyr to watch over his daughter in secrete. He had became a Wherhandler, being to old to impress a dragon. She returned to the weyr, finding her father and confronting him. He claimed it was for her best interests, but his argument was useless. Secretly she was delighted though.
Good times were prolonged with her two fire lizards, Solar, and Lunar. The blue and green pair. Solar, the green girl, is around three turns. Luna, the blue, is around four. She spent night and day with them (so hence their names) raising them into fine Fire lizards. Though, Solar has a hard time flying long distances due to an injured right wing. When she was a hatchling Akashma stepped on the poor thing by accident one night. It healed enough for her to fly, but she's more than reluctant to go very far from a nice perch.
She spent time with her father and his blue wher, Chucask, and learned that whers were a lot less picky then dragons. While at first she was repulsed by its.. questionable.. looks, she grew to enjoy the creatures. When her father passed away of a heart attack she took over Chucask, whose name changed properly to Akask. She stayed at Bendon weyr until Akask passed away half a turn ago. With no wher hatchings anytime soon she moved on, finding her way to Telgar Weyr after hearing a rumor in a nearby tavern.
Still today she moves on, ever pursuing her purpose in life. A compulsive need that fills the hole in her heart with whers, fire lizards, and any other things she can keep as 'pets'. She has even tried to fill the gap her brother left with dating, but found it to hard to 'cheat' on her brother with another man. Now she waits, wishing for a new task to keep her mind off her painful past.
