Tarilan's Statistics Name: Tarilan Gender: Female Age: 15 Turns Hair: Long, black, and straight.  Worn down to her waist, but in a bun while working.  Spends lots of time making it look nice. Eyes: Blue shade, average in spacing, size, and shape Physical Appearance: A slim build, but a bit tall.  Tends more towards the healthy, in-shape skinny than the unhealthy.  Has a small, upturned nose, and a slightly snobbish face.  Bites her fingernails when she's nervous.  Is pretty when she smiles, which isn't all too often. Personality: A bit angry and hardened from her life.  She can seem to be a bit stuck-up and snobby, but in reality she's just a young girl trying to cope with all of the "horrible troubles of teenhood."  After you get past the hard exterior, she'll accept you and will talk openly to you.  Once she starts on something, Tarilan will never stop until it's finished.  Tarilan hates Candis with a passion, and if you spill one of her secrets or do something that she wouldn't do to you, expect her to turn on you as fast as you can blink an eye.  Can be quite vengeful, and very revengeful.  The two things that can make her smile are her horse, Artimal, and her flitter, Caaylin. History: Born at the weavercrafthall, Tarilan was given to Caaylin, a Senior Apprentice, to foster at the age of one, since her mother became a journeywoman.  She grew up loving weaving, and was usually found going and trying to obtain a flit someway.  Was apprenticed at the age of 12, and got her senior apprentice knots shortly before being Searched at the age of 15.  Parents were the Journeyman Vinter Tarmol, and the Apprentice Weaver Renamal, although she doesn't know this. Valued Items: Tarilan greatly values, over anything, Artimal and Caaylin.  They are what she considers family at the weyr, and the runner and firelizard trust her just as much as she does them.  Beisdes that, though, her valued items include her Senior Apprentice Knots, as well as her loom, thread, needles, embroidary hoop, etc.  Voice Quality: Has a rich and throaty voice, very much at odds with her appearance.  Sings rather well, although not good enough to be a harper apprentice.  It has a sort of taunting, angry sound more often than not. At her worst: Tarilan is rude, has a snobby appearance, and likes to get her way.  She won't stop to think about critizing something that she feels should be, and if you get angry at her for doing so, watch out!  Her temper can be explosive. At her best: Tarilan is a good, faithful friend, who won't let anyone make fun of you without getting through her first.  She will leap to defend someone whom she feels is being tormented unjustly, even if she may torment that person later.  Dedicated to her work, and many other things, Tarilan will never give up on a task until it is finished.
