Name: Maryx
Sex: female
Age: 22
Faceclaim: Adria Arjona
Group: Her own
rank & duties: Leader - Decides where the group goes, plans out how to get supplies they need, acts a spokesperson, and so forth.
basic appearance: Average height but on the thin side with a small frame. She has an olive skin tone, though she is normally more deeply tanned since she spends nearly all her time outside. She has dark brown, nearly black eyes and long black hair with a slight curl to it. She chops the ends periodically, and otherwise keeps it tied back or braided.
primary personality traits: Serious and practical. She’s of the general opinion that most of her companions are idiots and would probably be dead by now if they didn’t have others like her to rely on, even if that’s clearly not true. She does have some affection for them, though, and will defend them fiercely to anyone outside her group. She takes a long time to fully trust - she’ll let someone new hang around, sure, but she’ll keep her eye on them until she’s sure they’re on the up and up. Or as close to the up and up as scavengers can get.
relevant history: Maryx was born into a smaller ravager hoard, and spent the bulk of her life with them. She was raised by the hoard collectively, as many other children were, and is barely aware of who her parents were. As she grew older, she found she had a talent in hiding, as well as moving quickly and quietly. Though originally trained as a gatherer, she was often put to work as a scout.
As time went on, it became clear the hoard’s power and ability was not what it once was. Their raids failed more often than not, with heavy losses suffered, and more and more they found themselves attacked by other hoards. Power was changing hands within the group quickly, and the situation soon became untenable, the hoard splintering. Most found themselves new hoards to join, or went off to form their own, but Maryx had little interest in the ravagers. She eked out a living as best she could on her own, soon finding much of what the ravagers took by force she got get by stealth as well. She didn’t limit herself to thieving, though, gathering and trading what she could. She stuck to herself most of the time, but as the years passed, she gained a few companions, mostly younger or around her own age. She has fallen into the role of the de-facto leader, which mainly just consists of her making sure her companions don’t do anything too stupid.
relevant views on current events: Maryx likes to keep her head down and herself out of trouble. She’s barely aware of the goings on between the Weyrs and the Holds, and she’d prefer to keep it that way.
Ambitions: Keeping herself and her group alive.
