[ candidate ] karunia [Approved]

[medigel]

Name: Karunia
Age: 20
Nameday: 3555.3.27
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Not really nailed down
Craft: Blacksmith
Rank: Apprentice
Location: Western
Physical Description: Karunia sports her dad's honey gold eyes and her mother's brown, almost grey hair. There's a shock of white in her bangs, a by-product of a difficult birth and an apparent birthmark her own mother and grandmother possess. Of medium length, she keeps it tied back and accents it with colorful and cute bandannas, usually of Western colors. Despite her craft, she appears waifish and, with a high metabolism, is also thinner than she ought to be. There's Threadscore on her right arm and hand.
Personality: Don't worry, world, Karunia is here to help! And don't let her looks fool you, she's ready to jump into trouble and be the knight that storms the castle and wins the day. She has cheer in excess, possibly due to growing up with a rather closed in father, and is always up for an adventure--more than likely one she concocts herself. Karunia doesn't generally have designs behind her actions and is one of those rare people who does good for goodness' sake. On the flip side, she can't stand idly by if she knows there's trouble, and doesn't hesitate to let her voice be heard when she feels there's injustice being done, or act if she feels the problem isn't addressed like she wants.

Danger doesn't seem to register properly to Karunia. Her Actions May Be More Risky Than They Appear mirror got broken some time ago, and she hasn't bothered to fix it. What's that? She's wrong about something? Nope not listening. She's too busy concocting a plan to try and get it solved all by herself. Don't worry, it'll all work out in the end!

This young woman seems incapable of standing still. Karunia's always thinking of something, whether it's a new game, or a person she might have fixated on (usually her dad), or trying something new with her craft. Flamethrowers in particular fascinate her. Well, technically fire does. What if she could be the one who finds an improvement? Or a new functionality to something else? Or be the one to patent a whole new thing entirely? Karunia scribbles these ideas down but has problems following through on multiple projects unless the muse really strikes her. She's always on the move, hating to sit around on any one task unless it stimulates her. Possibilities are so much more interesting than realities, after all.
Positive Trait List enthusiastic, altruistic, inventive
Negative Trait List impatient, opinionated, reckless
History: Born early and with dim prospects because of it, Karunia was primarily nursed not by Western's creche but by her father, whom she was dependent on even when she learned how to speak her mind. She wasn't quite sickly, but her early years did frame her as frail until she came into her own sometime around 9 or 10 turns, after turns of getting herself lost about the beach and surrounding area in her own adventures. Karunia didn't want to miss out on being part of the weyr life just because of a sniffle!

Intrigued by the apparatus goldriders used, she fell behind engineers and blacksmiths and picked up the trade on impulse: something about the sprayer's sophistication and the fact that she was basically controlling fire clicked with her. Ignoring the coughing fits she'd get when something exploded, Karunia became a fine apprentice and looked forward to her soon approaching journeyman rank, assuming she didn't lose any fingers along the way.

Her plans changed when Thread fell.

Telgar Hold was nearly destroyed in its return, and Karunia was lucky to get out with only light Threadscore on her right hand and lower arm, which had tried to burrow through when she reached out to help someone trapped under rubble; in pulling back out of fear and pain, her intended rescue was left to die. She returned to Western Weyr as soon as she could and has since been living with her dad, doing anything and everything she can to help the cause. The divots in her skin now serve as a reminder to her that she had to fulfill a calling to help others, no matter how dangerous the job was.

Other: Daughter of K'on (Pach) and a real daddy's girl; the type to wiggle her foot no matter what position she's in as long as she's bored or thinking
(as a note, she's no longer sickly, it was more in her early years that she struggled)
