name: Tsulain
sex: female
age: 24
faceclaim: Grace Hartzel
origin: Oyba Hold
basic appearance:
-very tall (6 foot) and very slender mostly as a result of her height, eats like a pig
-broad spread of freckles over her nose and forehead
-long, bland dark hair, usually left to do whatever it wants around her shoulders unless she's working, and then she twists it into a knot behind or on top of her head or ties it back with a scarf
-missing an ear, has some scarring down her neck that she covers with her hair, scarring continues down her shoulder and upper arm. A few patchy spots of hair from the scarring.
-wears a bitter, slightly priggish look at all times. Usually looking down at people both literally and figuratively.
primary personality traits: Took her young self and mangled it beyond recognition, forcibly shaped herself into the person she is today, from frightened young candidate to master of servants and runnerbeasts, fierce in her authority and her protectiveness of her people.
She does not take well to orders, but she recognizes when she has no option to obey, and so obeys in advance in order to avoid being forced. To be made to do something would be absolutely galling. She operates only under her own control as far as she is concerned. She cannot control the world around her, but she can control her actions, and her reactions, and she does with absolution. Not kind to herself. Has high expectations for her own strength and her will, and won't compromise them for anything.
Expects obedience from other people. Most at the Hold have learned to jump to attention with Tsulain passes by, and receiving different treatment at the Weyr infuriates her (though she refuses to show it).
She is not unkind. She lashes out in controlled ways because of her trauma, and because she has a fundamental need to control and to Do Well at something (and she can't Do Well at being a married woman after being mutilated), but she can control it. She is starkly sweet to young children, her favorite runners, and especially to her cousins, the children of Lord Bellerat, as she has no siblings of her own. She gives the children sweets and will spend hours combing out the girls' hair, making them look beautiful, telling them what lovely ladies they will be one day. In a way she's living out her own lost golden days as a young girl through them, but she also does love them deeply, and wants them to have what she lost.
I think as a rule she hates men because they represent authority (which she prob resented since she was in pigtails), and the dragonriders she dealt with were all male, although she is herself heterosexual.
Although she was given a Proper Upbringing, she has disregarded many ladylike things. She no longer maintains things like soft skin, unchipped nails, and beautiful hair, and does not wear gowns. She wears riding leathers for the most part, belted tunics, boots, and is quite the sight wearing such gear at her height and often covered in dirt or bruises from her work. Yes, she does bathe, and she dresses and eats like a civil woman at the table, but she much prefers to be scarfing down a meatroll on the back of a runner as she accompanies a caravan to the next Hold over.
relevant history:
-niece of Lord Bellerat. I think he had a younger brother or st who had her and that was it? Idk I don't want to deal with siblings. Bellerat is very much like a father to her tho.
-was taken on Search when there was last a Queen egg on the stands (DON'T MAKE ME MATH THIS)
-mutilated during the Hatching. She thought the green dragon was coming towards her to Impress, but instead the dragonet knocked her down and raked her down the side of her head/neck/shoulder. The green was going for the candidate behind her.
-was patched up at the Weyr, but there was no saving her ear, and she would hold those scars to life.
-went home. Refused to stay in the Weyr, insisted on being taken back to her Hold.
-had previously been vain, aspired to marriage and little else, but now saw herself as scarred to hideousness.
-rough adjustment period of lashing out at servants, cutting off all her hair, becoming cruel where she had been a kind child. Puberty and facing traumatic injury and memory were all hitting her at the same time.
-one day witnessed a servant trying to wrangle a contrary runnerbeast. She watched for nearly thirty minutes until, in a rage at his incompetence, seized his lash and whipped him with it, then mounted the beast and rode it to submission herself.
-supplanted the then stablemaster to take up the job herself, running it like a sweatshop, equally ruthless to servants and beasts alike. She wasn't absolutely cruel, and had her fair moments, but expected complete and immediate compliance. Basically, funneled all of her trauma into rage into a position of control. Her uncle, Lord Bellerat, allowed it because she was proficient and also there was not much stopping her.
-dragons end up coming on Search to take her and her younger cousin, Omina, the daughter of Bellerat. Idk if we're going to rp this out but Tsulain goes willingly despite her hatred of the Weyr and of dragonkind, purely to protect Omina. She's prepared to stand in front of her cousin and be killed to prevent Omina incurring the same trauma that she did.
relevant views on current events: Doesn't believe the hype about bleached dragons being Cray, as the dragon that attacked her was solid colored. Doesn't like the Weyr. Doesn't want to Impress. Doesn't want to be a part of the Weyr system in general. Kind of libertarian-y; is drawn to the lifestyle of the ravagers.
ambitions: At this point her only purpose in life is to protect Omina.
other: She's cool to kill or Impress, maybe maim but that would be redundant lol. She could just be passed over and go home, would probably make an interesting Holder character to conflict with the Weyrs if she did.
