Name: Lenri
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Rank: Candidate

Appearance: Slightly smaller height and stature being about 5' 2'', she is lean and wiry. She has chest length light brown hair, wich is highlighted with gold streaks and usually worn in a high ponytail tied with a red ribbon, tan skin, hazel eyes with a bright pink scare across her right eye, and her favorite long-tied sandles. She has a soft jaw line, long fingers with small hands.
Personality: Happy, bouncy, incredably fun loving every now and then she bursts out with some completely random and goofy action, like mixing her words by accident or falling over, which never fail to entertain. If there is a problem between herself and someone she tends to look at the situation from an emotional point of view, meaning there is no reasoning with her and she is likely to be easily angered in a dispute.

She considerse every new person she meets as a potential best friend. Though she doesn't give all of her trust easily, her friends are usually the best people around. When situations become complicated, stressful, or just all around bad, Lenri finds herself spending copious amounts of time in unoccupied or slow moving parts of the weyr with Meaphi. Taking comfort in his presence she oftem enjoys some time outside with just him. Most often when she is talking to someone or doing something that doesn't envolve both her hands she strokes two fingers down the soft skin on his chest and stomach while he pertches on her shoulder. She's happy to share him, though most of the time he doesn't seem interested in interaction with other people.

When Meaphi is not with her Lenri does not look at anyone that she is talking to. Normally when he is with her she will look up at their forehead or some other feature close to the face, but unless she is angered or otherwise needs the total attention of the person she is talking to she won't look them in the eye. She doesn't really like to stay in her room much. She sleeps vvery little and to be honest she doesn't need it, but she prefers to spend her time either at her normal duties or outside.
History: Born in a group of traders who make regular rounds to the Weyr, Lenri grew up loving dragons and befriending their riders. Being smaller than average herself she can sympathise with the fire lizards that she met in past travels to the different beaches. One such visit after exploring along the sand she found a clutch and brought it back to her father. Her father told her she might keep ONE if she could take care of it. Shying away from the larger eggs she chose the smallest egg of the bunch and ended up with a runt blue. Thus how it got it's name Meaphi, or 'small one'. Because of her size and that of her fire lizard she endured much teasing from piers and others, and here by learned the best way of guerilla wrestling. Instead of wilting under teasing, she decided to take up a policy of no bull***** tolorance. Later, however, she slackened her vice and adopted an outgoing and bouncy nature. During a visit one of the green dragons anounced her worthy of candadacy and she was invited to stay at the Weyr. This offer she gladly took as she loved dragons and had befriended a few people in the weyr. Shortly before this, however, she had an unfortunate incident as the others in the traders caravan were panicing in a heavy storm, and was knocked into a river, where she hit her head on a sharp stone, leaving her with a scare across her right eye.
Pet(s): Blue Fire Lizard: Meaphi
Other: When she came to live at the weyr her father gaver her a polished stone hair pin set gold metal. Also during her time with the traders she picked up a skill in drawing and painting. And through sheer luck and lots of time spent with Meapi, she learned some ways to train fire lizards.

It doesn't bother me that you ask me to change it. It's helpful.

We're not allowing any new gold fire-lizards into the Weyr at this point.

Lenri's physical description needs to be fleshed out some more. Slightly smaller doesn't tell us much as far as height goes - 'average' fluctuates from person to person. Also, does Lenri have any identifying birth marks, scars, interesting features? Check out some of the other profiles, see how they've fleshed out their characters and try to make her a little more unique.

Her personality needs to be expanded on, as well. How is she emotional - does she get angry, does she weep? Being random is generally something we steer away from in terms of personality, simply because it can be very hard to portray through role-playing. What does she do that makes her random? Does she tell jokes at the oddest times, does she stand on her head? We don't quite understand how having a 'no bull s**t' policy contributed to Lenri's happy-go-lucky personality, could you expand on that?

Hobbies, does Lenri have any? I'm sure she must have picked something up from the Traders. How to sew maybe, or cook. What are her interests? She likes fire-lizards, does she like to train them? Watch them? Draw them? Try to give us a better glimpse inside her head.

Still need some more on Personality. Give us quirks, habits of hers that sneak their way into her everyday life. Are there some things that upset her more than others? How does she respond in stressful situations? She can't be happy-go-lucky all the time, so how does she cope when that's not an option? Is she emotionally sensitive then too? Does she lash out at people?

You can explain the relationship between Meapi and Lenri if you'd like, maybe that has some influence on how she acts around and treats other people. Are they protective of her, does she like showing Meapi off? What does she normally try to do when making friends?

It seems like a lot, but we really just want you to have a character that you've got a good grasp on, so that role-playing's more enjoyable - for us, but more importantly for you.

Edit: For Appearance, how does she wear her hair? Up, down? Does she have any favorite colors she likes to wear? Any specific clothes?
