name: Mahiri "agile"
age: 19
gender: female
appearance:

Mahiri is strange. That comes to mind when one sees the slender little acrobat with the quirky smile and bright eyes. Often mistaken in appearance as much younger than she is, Mahiri is about 5'4" and has a slender build from years and years of activity and play. Her hair is short at jawlength; it flips upward slightly in the back naturally, and is always slightly disheveled and cut kind of strange. She has short bangs on either side of her face, and the rest of her hair is usually kept in two little pigtails, barely two inches long, just behind her ears. Sometimes she'll wear it down, twisting thin, colorful ribbons into it for extra flair, or maybe curling it. When she had the time, she puts alot of effort into her off the wall appearance. Mahiri's hair is a rich chestnut brown, her eyes a startling bright green. Before coming to the weyr, she would use natural dyes and the like to paint faces. In the most extreme cases, Mahiri may return to that in a less extreme form, bringing out the brilliant eyes she has with green, pink, orange and yellow. She has a few freckles across her cheeks from the sun, nothing too terribly noticeable. Mahiri is an odd cross between tomboy and girly girl, prefering pants to dresses but always taking care to look nice, even if she's going to go play in the mud. Her hands are fine and slender, with long fingers and calloused palms from working; her feet are also slightly calloused from her dislike of wearing shoes. When she does wear shoes, they are worn out, thin sandals that hardly look like they're going to hold up much longer. Mahiri has a thin scar above her left elbow from when she fell out of a tree, a few needleprick and burn scars on the underside of her hands from times she can hardly remember, and a very small scar right above her left eyebrow from a fall off of a fence.

personality:

From a distant point of view, Mahiri is bright and happy, cheerful and going about life with a brilliant smile and a little bit of optimism. Upon getting to know her, she reveals a fiery sort of temper alive with the thrill of competing to be the best, making witty retorts, and simply having fun and being with friends whenever she can. Mahiri can be very short tempered at times, but mostly does not hold grudges, prefering to beat the snot out of someone and call it a day. For all her slightly childish ways, she is very wise, and often offers very good advice. She is an excellent listener, but not so good at public speaking in front of larger groups, prefering a group of friends. Because of this, she tries to open up and become friendly with just about anyone she meets, knowing that if forced to get up in front of a crowd, at least it would be easier if she knew alot of them. Mahiri as slightly low self esteem, and is quite unaware that she is physically beautiful. She gains her strength from her personality; it is her mentality that gives her courage and confidence, which ends in outward beauty. Mahiri is very graceful, agile, and lithe; however, she has a tendency to get mixed up and start getting ahead of herself, which ends in clumsiness and sometimes falling.

skills:

Mahiri is very...acrobatic. She can flip and twirl and dance better than anyone she knows. But that never helped her much beyond traveling to Gathers and making small marks. She is very good at sewing and weaving, and is a moderately good healer. Mahiri does not know how to swim, but she is an excellent cook, learning that from her mother.

history:

Mahiri's history is brief, and basically uneventful. Her parents traveled everywhere in a caravan, never having enough to support living in one place with a farming life and such. Mahiri's father was much too mercurial and wild for that. She was a daddy's girl, looking up to him and his still boyish antics, even in his age. Mahiri had one younger brother, Tivuli, a meek boy who took more after their mother Anana. So Mahiri became the more outgoing one of the family, and lifted them up and helped her mother raise her young brother after her father passed away with fire head when she was eleven. Tivuli was nine then, and still shy and afraid of his own shadow. They traveled and sold baskets and cooked for families, with Mahiri and Tivuli knowing all sorts of acrobatic tricks. Typical little street rat, Mahiri would perform for anything she could get, confident in herself until the fall off the fence. She quieted down a bit after that, but only momentarily. With traveling came the knowledge of dragonriders...and so she came here, finally too restless to even be content with travel.
