Persona Profile: Dananie

Writer: Erin

Name: Dananie
Age: 31
Birthday: m9 d24
Rank: Wingrider, Rapids Wing
Location: Dolphin Cove Weyr
Craft: Dragonhealer
Craft Rank: Junior Journeyman

Physical Description of Persona:
Dananie is of middling height and takes good care of her body as befits her healer background. Her thick, curly hair is dark and cut very short to frame her face. Graced with a light complexion, she tends to freckle instead of tanning, something that she's always found rather annoying. Large cloudy blue-grey eyes shaded by thick eyelashes are arguably her best feature, and combined with her heart-shaped face and high cheekbones they give her an air of innocent vulnerability that clashes violently with her actual personality.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Generally good with people, Dananie (or Danny, as she prefers to be called) has many positive relationships in the Weyr, owing to her long residence there. She is lighthearted and cheerful (a boon in her craft), though she is quickly and easily annoyed by children, who frustrate her. She has only a few close friends, however, having lost many of the people dearest to her in those first terrible Falls. In the Turns between the beginning of the Pass and her Impression, Dananie withdrew emotionally, figuring why bother to get close to people if Thread could kill them tomorrow? In the past four Turns she has suffered from periodic bouts of moroseness that made her feel alien to herself. Since her Impression, however, she has begun to open up again is learning to reconcile the pre-Pass girl with the during-Pass woman.

History of Persona:
Even though she was weyrbred, the idea of riding a dragon had always seemed an unattainable dream to Dananie. Her father disapproved of her fanciful dreams and tried to encourage her participation in his craft, telling her time and again that she was lucky to live where it was possible for her to /have/ a craft at all.

A deft student, Dananie grew to love healing and had just walked the tables when, during the last Hatching she was obligated to stand for, she found green Enoiyath.

Dananie quickly turned her knowledge of her craft towards dragonhealing and studied diligently in what little time she could spare from the responsibilities of being a weyrling. Now that she has graduated to the fighting wings, she can often be found in the dragon infirmary, soaking up knowledge from more experienced dragonhealers.

Dragon's Name: Enoiyath
Dragon's Age: 11
Dragon's Hatching Date: m6 d8
Dragon's Colour: Green
Description of Dragon:
Enoiyath is a serious little dragonet, a good foil for Dananie's enthusiasm. Deep emerald with lighter wingtips, she's a dainty dragon who looks likely to grow into speed rather than strength.
