Weyrling Tivali on Green Sainteth
Player: Madeleine
Name: Tivali (Satia)
Age: 20, b. 12.20 (just turned)
Rank: Weyrling
Description: Tivali has a thin but broad frame, standing at 5'8", with a large chest that's usually shown off in tight dresses. She has blonde hair the color of sunflowers and blue-green eyes. She likes to wear light colors.
Personality: There are two different personalities to this girl, but
one is slowly disappearing. As Tivali, what she shows to everyone, she is outgoing and lively, if a little ditzy and transparent. But she is
overshadowed in those categories by Palia, so no one remarks on it. She likes to perform and be the center of attention, relishing her role
as a gypsy dancer. She likes men, and likes being with them, but absolutely refuses to form any attachments beyond short term sexual
relations. It's hard for her to have male friends, as she's a little distrustful of them. The only truly meaningful relationships she forms
are with her female friends -- at the moment, with Palia and Ismene. She usually has good instincts and sometimes even shows common sense.
Tivali's private personality has been squashed these past few Turns. When she's alone, she is more like Satia, the girl she was before she
became a gypsy. She is far more intelligent than she shows in public, hiding her brain behind her pretty face and attractive body. Her
public facade is an exaggeration of what, as Satia, she considered personality flaws. She won't admit it, but she's becoming more like
what she pretends to be than the girl she was. But even Satia had a weakness for liking to be around men.
Gender/preference: Female, Bi (prefers males)
History: Tivali was born
Satia in a small cothold near Fort Hold, Nammon Hills Cothold. She was born
into a large family, and from a young age looked for ways to distinguish herself
from her five siblings. A visiting woodcrafter's pieces caught her attention
when she was 11, and she wound up leaving with him to go to the small Woodcrafter
Hall in Keroon Hold.
Satia loved it at the Hall. She had a knack for the trade, and she made friends
quickly. At the age of 16, a Senior Journeyman named Navorsk came back to the
Hall from his post at Tillek Hold. He was close to being raised a Master. Satia
was assigned to study under him, and became infatuated with him almost immediately.
Navorsk gladly took her to bed, but complications arose when a few months into
their relationship, Satia got pregnant. She expected him to be happy and offer
to marry her, but instead he turned angry with hints of becoming violent. He
thought his reputation would be ruined if the baby was acknowledged as his,
and everyone at the Hall knew Satia had no bedpartners. He threatened to ruin
her career if she exposed him as the father, and possibly use violence to get
her to do what he wanted. Satia was frightened. She hadn't expected him to react
so harshly. She fled the Hall and wound up at Igen Hold. A gypsy caravan had
arrived the day before and would perform that night before leaving in the morning.
Satia, who had been desperately trying to think of somewhere to hide from Navorsk,
found the answer in the gypsies. She adopted a new name -- Tivali -- and a new
personality to approach the caravan master and ask to join their troupe. She
was accepted and started training to be a dancer almost immediately, with two
more experienced dancers, Palia and Ismene, aiding her. Of her past she said
as little as possible, and let people come up with a story for why she had joined
up. Palia and Ismene knew more of the truth than anyone
else, but she still didn't dare tell them. They helped her when she miscarried
the child soon after joining the caravan. The caravan moved across the Northern
continent for about a Turn, then went South with all the new settlers. They
performed at Quartz River's Turn's End celebration and decided to head up to
the Weyr soon after, having gotten a good reception from the Weyrfolk at the
Gather.
The gypsy caravan got snowed into Mountain Song Weyr and was forced to stay there until the snow melted. While they were stranded, Tivali began thinking about what it would be like to stay in one place again, and judged that the newest Weyr was a good place for her to hide from Navorsk. She revealed who she was to the resident Woodcarver and resumed her duties as an Apprentice until she Impressed green Sainteth. Shocked but grateful for this change in status, Tivali started retreating into herself again and losing some of the self confidence she'd gained as a gypsy.
Pets: none
Crafter: Yes
Craft: Woodcrafter
Craft Rank: Apprentice
Specialties: Figurines and Toys
Dragon Color: Green
Dragon Age: Hatchling
Dragon Description: Average size, but with a very delicate build, she looks extremely breakable. Her hide is a dark smoky green with wisps
of lighter color on her underbelly and wings.
Dragon Personality: Very particular, and a little bit prim. She doesn't like to be dirty, wet, too cold, too hot, or any other extreme
that upsets her daily routine. She loves Tivali and would do absolutely anything for her, and will yell at the mean person who tries
to make Tivali sad. Her maturity level is about that of a five Turn old human.
Strength's Weaknesses: She's got a lot of energy, but a lot of it will go to waste by her refusal to do anything that dirties her hide or
makes her the least bit uncomfortable.
