Physical Description: A small, petite girl with a round face and big expressive brown eyes. Her auburn hair hangs nearly to her shoulders and has a tendency to curl inward, not unlike a bob. Her fair skin makes it extremely obvious when she blushes.
Personality: For as small as she might be, Chakuri is a vibrant and lively girl. She's cheerful by nature, and always looks at the positives in situations. Though an optimist, Chakuri is not naive, and can see flaws in people and situations as well as their virtues. She's friendly to everyone she meets, and won't hesitate to lend a hand or step in to defend someone if they need it. She may be small, but she is mighty! Chakuri can dig her heels in with the best of them, especially when facing something she perceives to be wrong.
This stubbornness can work against her, particularly when it comes to her own limits. Chakuri pushes herself to the brink and past it, because she believes she must. She puts the weight of the world on her shoulders, and sometimes, the burden is so great that she desperately wants to lean on someone else to help her through it. However, she also feels as though she needs to be strong and learn how to stand on her own two feet so that she can solve her own problems.
Chakuri is fully aware of her shortcomings, and is unwavering in the face of the steep climb she has towards making her dream come true. While she is good at reading people and situations, she has a hyperfixation surrounding her goals and what she needs to do about them, making her sometimes oblivious to her own personal feelings on a one-on-one basis and she can miss certain social queues - such as her application of occasional bluntness at a bad time.
Chakuri is laid back and easy to get along with, bonding quickly with people who are kind to her and just as quickly running to their defense. She is also a fairly good judge of character, assessing people and situations rather well. These traits make her a great strategist in games and candidate lessons, though she is not above making impulsive and rash decisions. As well, her ability to read people, along with her empathy, make her quick to notice when someone has reacted poorly to a situation.
When it comes to competition, she can become intimidating, fueled by what she has back home riding on her success. While she is not prideful enough to hide her motivations, she also doesn't use them as a crutch. She hates when people underestimate her, and will do her best to prove that she can be just as good as anyone else.
Positive Trait List Upbeat, kind, determined
Negative Trait List Stubborn, prone to fixation/oblivious, competitive
History: Chakuri was born in Nabol Hold to a pair of Journeymen Minecrafters. Kurien and Chalori met at the Mining Hall and fallen in love, marrying a few Turns after they both walked the tables. While he specialized in mining itself, Chalori excelled in creating jewelry, making the husband and wife duo quite self sufficient. Kurien wanted to travel Nabol, aware of its ominous reputation, but optimistically intending to strike to rich due to its prosperous mines. Once they'd secured a tidy sum of funds, they could move elsewhere. Chalori was hesitant, but agreed to her husband's ambitious plans. A few Turns later, Chalori found herself pregnant. Nabol wasn't where either of them particularly wanted to raise a child, but Kurien insisted that they would make it work.
Though both parents handled gemstones quite regularly, all the wealth in Pern could never compare to their young daughter. Chakuri was a bright and lovely child, and the family's love continued to deepen and grow. They always would leave Nabol one day, her parents told her, but it never seemed to be quite the right time. Thanks to her parents, Chakuri unknowingly found herself sheltered from the darkness in Nabol. She knew only happiness, and began to learn some small bits of her mother's craft out of interest.
When she turned thirteen Turns, disaster struck. There was an accident in the mines--and though Kurien escaped with his life, his right leg was crushed by a cave-in. Life became a whirlwind of desperately trying to gather funds for Healing… and then the sudden, sharp realization that Kurien would never be able to work in the mines again. Their livelihood came to an ugly halt, and the family was forced to take loans to survive.
Chakuri began to learn how to craft jewelry in earnest, doing all she could to help her mother. Without gems from the mines, her mother's pieces lacked the extravagance they once had, and sold for paltry sums. The darkness of Nabol, held at bay for so long, began to creep in. They were forced to relocate to one of the rougher areas of the hold, and there were days when they couldn't afford to even eat. Chakuri watched and quietly despaired. She stayed up later and later to work, convinced that every hour she spent sleeping was wasteful. She began to skip meals, claiming she wasn't hungry. Nothing was too great an obstacle if it meant she could possibly ease her family burdens.
Shortly after her sixteenth Nameday, a bluerider came in Search. Chakuri was offered the chance to Stand, and perhaps one day, become a dragonrider. Her parents urged her to take the chance, wanting their daughter to be safe and away from Nabol. The thought of leaving her family was agonizing… but it would be one less mouth to feed. The income she brought in wasn't enough to offset her expenses. If she was a dragonrider, maybe she'd be able to beg the Weyr to take her family in and give them the comfortable, happy life they deserved. With her mind made up, Chakuri departed for High Reaches Weyr, determined to find a way to save her mother and father.
