Writer: Posey
Name: Posei
Age: 19
Birthday: M4, D12
Location: High Reaches Hold
Persona Craft/Rank: Assistant Headwoman
Physical Description: Posei is short compared to many Pernese. She is slightly tiny. Most things on shelves are beyond her reach but shes good for getting in the tight spots and her size gives her the advantage in running away. Tall people have more knees and elbows to sort out before taking off to catch her. Her body build is heavy. She is not fat. She is just boney. She has the womans curves and is expected (much to her own chagrin) to have easy childbirth. Her clothes reflect her lifestyle. She likes all her styles in green and brown. She chooses styles that also allow for movement. Tunics, pants, long sleeved shirts and carefully cut to fit her figure skirts are all in her wardrobe if in small amounts.
Her ancestors of the first Landing were more or less the mixes from everywhere people. She holds the features of many Pernese. Her face has the classic heart shape that many lighter skinned Pernese hold as well as the same light almost white skin. Her eyes are dark chestnut and circular in shape. She has dark rings under eyes, evidence of one to many nights with a storyhide or hidework in general. Her face is thickly coated in half faded freckles. The freckles lead right up into red hair. Said red hair is kept shoulder length but is otherwise left to do as it wishes. Earrings and necklaces have all but been castoff in recent times; only a necklace of beaten gold remains about her neck. It seems to have been engraved with a sunburst at some point but has dulled with age.
Over all Posei affects the looks and pose of a full grown woman trying to remain a girl for as long as possible.
Emotional Description: Posei is not simple to understand. She has gone through the stages of life with less grace than most imagine is possible and it has left her with a mask for outer life and her true-self for her friends and family. From innocent mature for her age child to bouncy talkative pre-teen to shy teenager and even more shy almost adult. The current stage is semi-relaxed teenager. Outwardly shes settled for her lot in life. She has no dreams of freedom from her beloved family. Shes willing to become what she has always been told she would be; a wife, a mother and hopefully a Headwoman. At least outwardly she is ready for what she thinks is coming.
To her close friends she is not ready to settle down. Shes wild in her ways and often the most outgoing of all the Hold girls. Unlike most young girls, she has no dreams of the Weyr or its men. She takes her familys view on the Weyr, bothersome, perhaps necessary but certainly not the kind of people she needs to concern herself with.
She is an easy friend to make but an even easier friend to lose. Many things disgrace certain people in her eyes. A loose tongue is one sure way to lose Posei. She doesnt take kindly to those who tell secrets outside her ring of friends but is a hypocrite in that she herself gossips regularly in her circle of close friends. A mean word said in a time of high emotion quickly earns an answering sharp word from her and for a few months she might just avoid a person for even the first offense.
Love is a very tricky subject. She feels she has certain duties to her family. The main one is to marry well. With only one brother married and having not produced one child from the union and no cousins; she feels she needs to keep the family line going to hold the tradition places they have for always held; Steward and Headwoman. Therefore love might be out of the question, especially as she was in an arranged marriage that through her own stubbornness was broke off. Duties are the one thing she will not skirt. Even her friends have to wait till shes done all her work for the day to talk.
To say overall in Poseis case would be a crime. There is no overall in her. Her personality is forever being shaped by the world around her; she adapts to live the life before her as best she can.
Brief History: The true story of Posei begins in the family that makes up her background. In the times of the Landing, if any could or would trace it back, computers and numbers were their area. As the generations of Pernese life passed the family became more or less the organizers of Pern and settled into High Reaches Hold somewhere in the mid-1st interval. Since then they’ve been fatefully serving High Reaches in various positions and like to say trace their family almost as far back as the Lord Holder himself.
Why this story? Because tradition reigns in Posei’s family and her father would not settle for simply two boys. When she was finally born to Posi the Headwoman and Amuel the Steward; her family, all three of her uncles and various distant relatives, threw a celebration. The family line would continue as Headwoman and Steward after all. And so the first few turns of her life went peacefully. She grew up with two older brothers (one older by ten turns and the other by fourteen turns) and two doting parents so she was a bit spoiled but any spoiling done was off set by the morals they tried hard to instill in her.
She spent much of her young life stuck underneath her mother as a Headwoman in training of sorts. At fourteen she finally found the methods that allowed her to better balance her free time and her duties. In her free times, she became friends with two of the local girls and spent as much time with them as possible. Mallona and Bebra were her constant companions for a long time.
Her relationships suffered into her 17th turn of life. First her favorite brother married a woman (a widow no less with a daughter already) she couldn’t stand. Then her other brother moved to another hold in the East after an argument with her father. She turned to Mallona and Bebra as good friends for comfort and became somewhat introspective even with the other girls’ aid. The final and most troublesome blow came a few months after her brother’s departure from her life.
Duty came heavily knocking at her door in more ways then one. First was the announcement of a proper husband for the girl. His name was withheld from her but the wedding date was set to be somewhere into the 6th month of the following turn. Posei took to it in a surprisingly quiet manner and settled into the second duty as an Assistant Headwoman quietly. The mystery of her husband to be was solved when a rather laid back young man introduced himself as Beamer and her future husband.
A month from their marriage date, Beamer broke off the engagement. With anger in his eyes, he declared that Posei would never make anyone a fitting husband and walked out of her life forever.
Growing older, Posei makes no more plans as it seems she has learned that the best made plans of men can so easily be undone.

Pet Name: Brewer
Pet Age: 7
Pet Species: Feline
Gender:Male
Description: Brewer is a gray tabby of much depth. Or at least as much depth as a feline who believes that the world is his to take apart can have. His beautifully toned soft gray fur (marred on his soft underside by several scars) does not hint at his true personality. He is often called 'Dragon' in the worse sense of the term. He attacks anything and everything and has even been known to take on a wher (not that he won). While in attack mode he seems to have multiple heads and as many claws as needed to take out his enemy. His eyes are the best warning of his personality. They are a very striking deep gold, burnished at the edges by deep brown. All in all Brewer is a rough cat trying to pretend he is still a cuddly kitten (and failing).
