Name: Tilliara
Age: 15 Turns
Appearance: Rather ragged all around, her appearance is rather muddled. She would be considered far from pretty at the present moment. Dirt and grime cover her skin, making its true shade undistinguishable. Her hair is grimy, filled with filth, matted and rather scraggly and oily. Her clothing is ragged, patched with a motley assortment of fabrics. She is rather grungy in appearance.
Underneath this messy exterior, one would see she could be a bit beautiful, though not shockingly so. No one would give her that label, especially looking at her past. She is rather, shocking. Defiance written on her features, independance in the way she holds herself and walks. But a bit of shame, shame for her family, can be seen by the slight slouch in her shoulders, and by the quivering lip at the mention of "family".
To start off with, Tilli's hair is a brown-red color, under all the grime. The main color being a middle shade of brown, with bits of red falling over this like netting, giving it the reddish-brown hue. Small highlights of blonde can be noticed when the summer months come. Well, would be noticed if her hair wasn't filthy. Her hair hangs to an inch or two past her shoulders, and hangs relatively straight, with a slight curl upwards at the ends. She wears bangs, and they are usually cut to above her eye level so that she can see.
Next off, her eyes are a pale gray-green in coloration, rather bright and vivid compared to the rest of her, they show you a bit of who she is. Slightly almond shaped, the most appealing feature to her eyes are the long, curled eyelashes that are natural to her. Her eyes hold a spark of defiance, stubborness, but on their most outlying regions, shame and sadness. They can easily set into a glare. Her eyebrows are a bit bushy, which she detests, but otherwise doesn't fuss with them.
Next are her height and stature. Tilli stands at about 5'1" or 5'2". She wishes to grow taller. Her stature is somewhat of the Terran "gymnast build". She has a bit of muscle, hidden by her relative slimness. Mainly the muscle is in her abdomen and legs, but her arms, when flexed, reveal a bit of muscle there as well. She's stronger than she looks. She isn't very curvaceous, and she doesn't much mind.
Tilli's skin is a rather pale shade, covered by grime and dirt. Almost white, but not unnaturally pale looking, it is rather odd. Her features are graced by a few scars, one thankfully hidden by her eyebrows.
Last, her clothing would not change much. A ragged tunic, frayed at the ends of the sleeves and at the bottom, its color was a pale blue. It is smudged with dirt, ash, and many other splotches. It has quite a few assorted color patches on it as well. Her pants are torn off, and that makes them a bit short. They reveal an inch or so of her legs through the tears. One knee is torn open. There are patches of odd colors on her pants as well. Her shoes aren't much of a shoe at all. Merely a piece of bark tied to her feet with leather she'd managed to find somehow. This completes Tilli's appearance, making her rather unappealing to anyone at the present time.
Personality: Tilli is a rather complex person, but then, aren't we all? To start of with, one of her most distinguishable traits is her stubborness. She is very stubborn, and it takes a lot to change her opinion. Like showing her the facts straight up, and proving her wrong. And even then sometimes it takes a little bit more.
And another fast sticking trait would have to be the bit of oversensitivity that Tillia possesses. She tries to seem heartless, but insults and taunts hurt her deeply. Insulting back is one major way that she deals with it. But it doesn't always hide the hurt, and she will get upset and lash back at people. She will also sink in on herself, or run away. An odd occurance, but if you take insults to far, it is sure to happen.
Tilli has many moods, which can change rather quickly, or rather slowly, depending on the emotions and the reason to which it would change. She can be happy, very happy, and poke a good bit of fun with the few friends she has. She can be rather talkative, and has quite a bit to say. Most would say she is pretty happy in this state.
But at other times, she can be silent and thoughtful. So silent, you won't hear her. It comes with the way she's been brought up, though. She can ponder silently, and would rather be off alone than with anyone.
And yet other times she can be a raging fireball. But this is rare of her, very rare. She's been taught by her situation that anger gets you nothing but cast out of Holds and Halls and cotholds. Yes, a lot of what she knows is because of her situation. She doesn't anger horrendously often, but when she does... beware! Its not a very pretty sight.
Tilli is naturally very wary of people. She will rather slink off into the shadows then to be a part of the main crowd. She prefers to watch others, observe, and figure out ranking and such then talk to people. She's rather independant. She doesn't like depending on anyone, or anything. She isn't beyond stealing... but she doesn't do that unless she must.
And that is her. She is much more than that, but to find it out, you'd have to talk to her, and that won't happen anytime soon.
History: Tilli's family wasn't very stable from the beginning. Her father and mother met in a small Hold in the Southern Continent. They moved to Southern Hold after marrying in hopes of starting a new life. While there, Tilli's mother became pregnant with her.
Things didn't work out very well at Southern, and a few things got her family in big trouble with the Holders there. Her father had been caught "embezzling Hold funds". They were cast out and became Holdless. To this day Tilli doesn't know if her father was guilty or not, but that didn't stop the word from travelling. No Hold or Hall wanted anything to do with someone who had been accused of stealing from the Hold, and so they turned to the other Holdless.
They met up with a band of Holdless about a few sevendays before her mother was supposed to give birth to her child. They stayed a few days, resting and starting to habituate themselves into the Holdless lifestyle, and into this new kind of life they were forced to live.
Then her father disappeared. In the midst of one night, her father left the band and was never seen or heard from again.
Her mother was a bit shocked by his untimely disappearance, but didn't have long to dwell. A few days later, her baby girl was born. Tilli was brought into the picture.
Her whole life Tilli and her mother lived Holdless, poor, and oftentimes hungry. She and her mother learned and did whatever they could to eat, sometimes stealing from those richer people and other times begging.
When Tilli was short of 11 Turns, her mother developed a horrible sickness, most likely the Chosen sickness. Tilli watched her die, and after a long battle, her mother was lost to her as well.
Tilli went to a nearby Hold, trying to find someone who would help her, having the marks of an orphaned Holdless. But considered old enough to find herself her own craft, she was cast out of the Hold, or rather chased out. It didn't help someone caught the Chosen sickness shortly after she'd arrived.
She wandered, begged, stole occasionally, and barely lived.
Upon her journeys, she came upon a small clutch of firelizard eggs. She Impressed one, and was later accused of stealing it. Mainly because it was a high-ranking firelizard.
Which is how she came to Noelan's doors. She is now hoping to enter the Weyr as a 'Candidate' and hopefully find some better life than the one she has, as a Holdless misfit.
Companions: Bloodrose Flitt- Millian
Millian is the same creamy coloration of all blood roses, with extremely dark crimson 'socks', muzzle, and underbelly. Her bloodrose is a blood red true to all firelizards of her color. She is extremely loyal to Tilliara, and can be quite temperamental.
Dragon Color Preference: There are many colors Tilli would work with, so go ahead and pick ^^
Why: Tilli fits a lot of the personalities of dragons at all of the ranks, and she would be more happy to just Impress. She does not care much about color if she Impresses.
Rule Remark: Oh, the shininess think fast
