Name Eliitra
Pronunciation(El-lee-truh)
Age 18 Turns
Season Born in Mid-Summer
Gender Female
Sexuality Heterosexual
Appearance Elitra is not particularly tall, but, to her credit, this may be a bit of an advantage in a way. She doesn’t need to be tall or bulky. At least in her mind. She doesn’t’ have any desire to be tall or lanky like other girls. She is dark skinned with long arms and legs, so she may not look entirely that short at first glance. She stands in a somewhat relaxed pose most of the time, though that is a very deceptive impression as she is thoroughly trained as a warrior and can easily take on people much larger than herself due to her quickness and agility as well as her skill.
Her nearly black, almond shaped eyes are sharp and well suited for archery. Her rather angular and oval shaped face is supported by a slender neck. Her body is built athletically, but most of her muscles are wiry rather than bulky. She has some shape to her body, but she is not exactly overly shapely. However, she has a certain way of moving about her that makes it very obvious that she is trained to fight.
Her clothing is always consists of leather and some kind of natural colored cloth and clothing. She always wears a band at her hair line and over her forehead in order to keep her already short, dark and somewhat messy hair from falling her eyes when she is fighting. She most commonly carries a bow and quiver with her and always has a knife in her leather boots and a sword at her side.
Her body is laced with scars from years of fighting and learning to fight. Several of these mar what would otherwise be considered a beautiful face, one even cutting through her eyebrow. Her arms also have their fair number of scars as the rest of her body does.
Personality
+Charismatic, good leader, positive attitude, kind
-Bad temper, stubborn, brash, blunt
Elliitra has always been a charismatic persona with skill and ability to speak in a compelling way. She comes by it both as a talent and by practice. She can get worked up and get others motivated and worked up as well. She is good at speaking clearly and precisely when needed and gives a strong and distant façade when not talking. It’s part of what makes her a good and affective leader to those who are under her command in any situation.
Her positive attitude is something that many appreciate. She never thinks of the bad things in life, but rather looks for the good. Focusing on bad things get you nowhere, in fact, it makes your life worse. However, she is stubborn and, when her mind is made, it may be difficult to change it. She is overly honest, to the point of being blunt at times and is brash in making her decisions as well. She needs people or others around her who can help to keep this side of her nature under control.
Even further, she has a bad temper if she sees someone hurt. As one who is protective of those around her and in her care herself, she quickly becomes angered when she sees one person hurting another and will often act on the temperamental outburst that is sure to shortly follow. It is one of her biggest shortcomings, at least in her own mind.
In addition to being honest with others, Eliitra is very honest with herself, even going as far as to critique herself, but always believing that she will and can get better with practice and with time. Her quiet and dynamic exterior conceals an equally dynamic inner core which shows most when it changes.
Family (if any)
Rasan – father, guard, Ista Hold
Ellina – mother, guard, Ista Hold, deceased
Location Ista Weyr
History Although it may not be typical for a woman to be a guard, Ellina was. Of course, she could not be from a typical family, could she? Well, even if she could, she wasn’t. Originally, she was part of a family of traders into which, her family, whose ancestors ah been outlaws and outcasts of a kind, were taken in and their skills in fighting and training huntyres and firelizards were put to good use. It was while Ellina was amongst this group that she would meet her husband, Rasan, a trained guard from Ista Hold who was traveling with the group at that time.
Ellina and Rasan married when they were still rather young, though Ellina did not conceive her first child until she was twenty-five Turns and still with the caravan. However, she would miscarry and lose this first child. However, Rasan did his best to support her even in her deep depression. It was the second time that she became pregnant that he decided that for her safety and the safety of their child, they would remain at Ista Hold with his family.
Nine months later, Ellina gave birth to Eliitra. She didn’t want her daughter to end up with her life, but it was a wish and a want that would go unfulfilled as the young girl soon went to learn fighting from anyone and everyone who would teach it… and, eventually, Ellina and Rasan decided it was best they train her themselves and, soon, they were back with Ellina’s family and the caravan.
Her grandfather was more than happy to help train the young girl and was pleased when she proved to have talent. He even gave her a Huntyre from his Forest’s clutch and helped her to train him.
However, Ellina, when she became pregnant with her third child, died in childbirth while they traveled and Rasan only remained with them for a short time longer before returning to the Hold and taking his daughter with him. He did his best to dissuade her from fighting and to learn anything else other than fighting or even to marry. However, it was hard to dissuade the stubborn girl and she got into more trouble than anything else.
This pattern continued until the day her grandfather convinced her father to allow her to come back with him again and he resumed training her. However, when he passed away, she returned to the Hold again, where she remained until the day she was Searched to Ista Weyr to stand as a Candidate where the rather charismatic girl still trains every morning and any time she can find time and where she tries to make friends wherever she can. She has continued to work with her Huntyre in attempt to train him as well as her grandfather and mother had trained their own huntyres.

A note on Nevinth: She's the stereo-typical cheerleader in high school. Sorry if I cause any unhappiness with that statement, but she is. She is vain, in an air-headed, clueless way. She's sweet really, but she doesn't understand anything. Also, I know there's technically no way she's supposed to know chat-speak, but she does...>.>
