[faesinger]

Name: Nuamia
Age: 22
Nameday: 3552.10.01
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual
Weyr: Western Weyr
Craft: None
Rank: N/A
Physical Description: Nuamia is very dark skinned, looking black in the right light, with short thick black hair and bright violet eyes that dance with emotions. She is not very tall, only 5’4. She has an oval face sits well in her asymmetrical hair style with heart shaped lips that are a lovely shade of rose pink and a petite dainty nose. Has she not been so outgoing and ready to upbeat she might have been considered a beautiful doll of a girl. Her adventures as a child, and work as a candidate, has left her with a toned body.

Personality: Nuamia is outgoing and adventureous. She is more ready to take the world by storm and explore every corner of it. Life is full of new things to try and experiences to have. What may come, things will work out she says, with a little luck and a lot of intelligence. It is an adventure to be had and there is no time to waste. She is willing to try things at least once before deciding if she likes it or not and keeps an open mind about new possibilities. In fact she welcomes new ones.

Of course this means she is rather impulsive and goes where her whims take her. She is more ruled by her emotions and passion than by her logical part of her brain. She can be very passionate about just about everything enthusiastically participates in life. Whether or not it warrants the enthusiasm. She often fails at reading social cues and the emotions of other people. When she gets really passionate and impulsive that is even more pronounced.

She is unselfish though and willing to share whatever she has. She doesn’t care about her own position with the Weyr or rank, just that things get taken care of. She isn’t the one that is important there, it the the Weyr as a whole and her loved ones. She has a joyous humor that is all in good companionship spirits. She loves to be with people and make new friends. New and old friends alike are also welcome to join her on her adventures.

Nuamia doesn’t think about the consequences of her actions much. She only sees the immediate results and not the long term consequences. Indeed, she is lacking in foresight and really even the ability to see them when asked to try.

Positive Trait List: Adventurous, Jovial, Selfless
Negative Trait List: Not good at reading people, Impulsive, Shortsighted
History: Nuamia was born at Western Weyr the younger of twin girls to a Nuarok, a baker, and Koruimia, a cook, that already had five sons. Somehow, all of them, besides Nuamia and one brother, became riders. Growing up, she and her twin Koruika spent time being cared for in the creche and by their brothers or parents during the day depending on who was available. To Nuamia it was great fun with so many friends to visit.

Eventually when old enough Nuamia began to help out around the Weyr, though she was quickly banned from the kitchen by her own parents. Her impulsive nature ruined a few too many dishes and created one too many fires. Nuamia’s favorite chore was laundry. It was hard to mess up laundry and people loved to chat and gossip as they worked.

But rest days were the best days. Nuamia, and if she could persuade Koruika, would go explore the world. It didn’t always turn out well though. The most memorable was when they were 12 and snuck out of the Weyr. Her sister was against it from the start, but Nuamia insisted and won. It was all fine, until the found the feline and nearly got eaten. If Koruika hadn’t called out for their brother’s dragon who was frantically looking for the missing girls things would have been a little different that day. The twins were in so much trouble after that. No freedom, constant supervision, and the worst chores.

Koruika had a heart to heart with Nuamia and was able to get it through the girl’s head that maybe, maybe, things won’t always go well. Something that she doesn’t see when she is thinking of the grand idea at the beginning. Only after the fact when it has all played out. Together they came up with a way for her sister to warn Nuamia, who still couldn’t really understand how to see these issues beforehand, that she was headed down a bad path. Koruika didn’t want to just flat out tell Nuamia out loud still due to being so shy and unwilling to speak her own mind. That was too much for the older twin, so subtle ways were created. As these were set things to look out for that were out of the ordinary, Nuamia was more able to notice them than body language or voice tones. Nuamia promised to try and respect these warnings from Kourika.

She began standing at age 14 and the only big change in her life was the lessons. Chores were the same. Adventures were...a little more restricted. No more sneaking out of the Weyr. Then two turns ago Koruika impressed to a wonderful little white dragon. Who Nuamia adores. It was mixed though seeing her twin impress without impressing herself. She was thrilled for Koruika. And she had faith that if there was a dragon for her that dragon would be worth waiting for.

But it was harder than expected to be without her twin. Nuamia would look for Koruika and not see her there and be confused. Nuamia’s main friend was gone and she was having trouble with making other friends. It was becoming clear to her how much Koruika’s influence had been on their interactions with others. Her sister had smoothed things over and settled little issues Nuamia had never seen. Nuamia is now having to navigate teenage social lives on her own and struggling some. But she is upbeat about it and willing to persevere. Things will go right sooner or later.

Howdy Fae! Here's a few things for us to look at today.

In the history, please specify which Weyr the twins were born at.

The history itself is pretty much okay, but it has so much about both twins that I'm actually getting confused as to whose profile I'm reading. For reference, Koruika's name and personality/actions are mentioned 8 times and Nuamia is named 11.

"Together they came up with a way for Koruika to warn Nuamia, who still couldn’t really understand how to see these issues, that she was headed down a bad path." I think what you're trying to explain with this paragraph is that Nuamia can't handle direct criticism so they needed to work out a "twin language" or "cue" of some sort for when she's doing something wrong. Do they ever talk about what's being done wrong or does Nuamia assume it's what she's doing right in the moment and just stop? The fact that she can't seem to recognize her own wrongdoing after leading a fairly normal life is a little troubling, too. Again, I think I understand, but please clarify if you could!

Going back to the history being so focused on both twins, what has daily life been like for Nuamia now that their paths have diverged somewhat? She's got her own life now, more or less. What's happened with Nuamia, as her own person, since Koruika Impressed?

It is more that Koruika isn't willing to speak up so I tried to make that more clear. I also took out some of her names to try and make it more read like Nuamia's profile.

She realized they were wrong after the fact she just can't see how it will go wrong when she thinks of things. She is the half glass full but really more than half full sort of person.

Also added a bit about losing her protective barrier to the world (her twin).
