Name: Miela
Age: 15
Nameday: 3561.11.29
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: PFFFFF
Craft: N/A
Rank: Candidate
Location: High Reaches Weyr
Physical Description: A living cloud that managed to fall down to earth, Miela is round and soft, with giant hazel eyes and a face prone to smiling. Maybe just for added softness or because her mother enjoyed seeing her soft curls that way, her light brown hair is somehow tamed into pigtails that look ready to fly away on either side of her head should gravity fail.
Despite her soft appearance she's not prone to wearing anything befitting a feast or event very often outside of those occurrences, they just get in the way and she's small enough that she needs room to move and function. Especially now as a Candidate.
Though not Miela's favorite thing, her numerous terrible scars are by far her most striking feature on her otherwise soft form and make those unused to dragon related scarring uncomfortable. Caused at her first Hatching they cover nearly all of her face and part of her right shoulder and chest, her right eye completely gone and either covered with an eyepatch or replaced with a glass eye. She's begun to lose some of the weight that made her so soft in appearance and her appearance sometimes leans towards unkempt as she struggles with caring about things.
Personality: Cute and soft hide the shade inside that bubbles out despite her best attempts to always keep it hidden within. As she grows and learns even more she'll be a bit better at hiding the darkness on the inside, or it will all come back around to bite her in the butt, however she's got the ambition and the drive to reach for her goals despite having hiccups in her younger years. Miela didn't just let her mother do every single thing for her, no she wanted to learn and wanted to experience it all so she could say that she had been there, come from the ground up. Did she like it? Oh not at all, but her manipulations only go so far and she could never do that to her beloved mother, the only person on all Pern she would move mountains for. Anyone else she'll use all her adorable softness and perceived innocence to wrap around her little fingers for her uses.
Of course she has to be smart enough to pull it off which shouldn't be too much of a problem, she soaks up everything around her like a sponge after all. All the lessons, everything that she sees is cataloged and saved for a later date and you can believe that she'll bring it back up. The only thing that might save others is that she can be totally unobservant when the moment strikes, missing obvious cues and markers so that she has to scramble all the faster to make up for it, thereby missing things around her even more. Usually it's the physical things that she misses, others slipping by her, a wall that she'll walk into if she's talking animatedly to someone, but Miela will try to play it off as if it never happened. Just pick herself up, brush herself off and move on with her day, if someone should dare to ask or bring it up she'll just look at them with giant eyes and ask what they're talking about.
Yes of course she's a little eccentric but Miela doesn't seem to mind being that way at all, or doesn't notice that she is in the least. For she's always been just a touch odd, always a little more kooky than sane. Her laugh is prone to being a touch hysteric and she'll often mutter to herself about plans and dreams, especially ones that she should maybe just write down for the good of her own self-interests. But she doesn't care. Miela has dreams of the top, which of course means that she'll end up at the bottom but she can certainly dream as big and as wild as possible, she has the competence with menial work and studies alike to pull it off if she can keep her drive all her life.
Her dreams of being at the top have begun to dissipate a bit in the face of repercussions for her thoughts and she's become a fearful small thing. All it takes is two people whispering near one another or the hard look of a dragon to send her scampering away while her mind whirls, believing them to be talking about 'that' and while she's been seeing some mindhealers she's become somewhat restrained, prone to smiling less and watching more for signs of violence in others. She does not like others being near her or touching her, which has left her a bit touch starved and she walks on eggshells around everyone.

History: Only daughter to a mother that Miela is quite possessive of and a father that she does adore, but endlessly reminds of his infidelity, her duty as a daughter after all, she grew up being loved dearly and it shows. She loves herself just as much as anyone else, sometimes more, but loves her mother even more. So help anyone that casts a bad look or says an errant word about her mother, the little puff of a girl will do her best to end them, strategically. From a young age she took up any task that was handed to her with a resolute drive, wanting to experience everything that she could so she could learn and do it better than anyone. So that she could advance and never do it again was the goal, but it was the learning in life that was what mattered. Thanks to her competence with most things she has much to fall back on, should she not Impress as she desires though she hopes it won't come to that.
That's not to say that she didn't play, for as a weyrbrat among others in High Reaches she found many children her age to play with and use for... things. With her mother as a creche worker it was all the better, more kids for her to meet and enjoy their company, scheming in the background to see how knowing them might play out to her advantage in the future under the guise of being a sweetheart to all. It wasn't necessarily a question when she was given the option to stand, she has dreams of being a dragon rider and aspirations that only being a rider could help her achieve. All the luckier for her that she was born in High Reaches.
Though she's only just started her lessons and training as a Candidate, her ability to learn quickly and drive to do well have been coming in handy.
Only not everything can prepare one to meet a dragon that just downright does not enjoy their presence. Not only did she manage to find one and then a second, but the first she so grievously insulted in her search for the power she believed a dragon might bring her that it came back to haunt her during the hatching that followed. While she'd succeeded in making something akin to... friends... Miela found that they came to her side during the Hatching while she herself was getting sicker and sicker to her stomach watching the particular egg rock and crack. It proved to be the downfall of all that it hatched and full on rushed straight towards her, mauling any in it's way and savaging her until her face became a mask of scars, her right eye completely gone.
The dragon had told her that she wasn't worthy, and not just that one dragon. Many had after her slip up at the touching and then her mauling at the hatching. Unworthy and that she wouldn't impress. She had no course of action but to believe they were correct.
Her blood on the sands, no real protection, for how could they in the face of a monster, Miela's fears appeared that day and she's lived with them ever since, ducking out of the way of blue dragons. Always seeing eyes the color of blood when her eyes closed or when she slept from that day forward. Blue dragons now haunt her and she cannot bring herself to get close to one without weeping tears of shame and fear... and hatred.
Since recovering from having her physical appearance altered and the skillful work that kept her from being completely unrecognizable, let alone dead, Miela's begun to volunteer on her free days in the Healer's Ward of High Reaches. In her mind it's a way to give back for the help that she received when she needed it the most and her correspondences with the man that saved her have the young girl wondering what it might be like to have a 'passion' that might draw her into something. Though she still has aspirations she was 'taught' at the claws of a dragon that they're bad aspirations and the whispers around her have made her consider looking elsewhere while she can.
Other: Daughter to Pach's Mailse and an NPC father. <3
