Physical Description of Persona:
Mousy brown hair, just beginning to go grey, gives Thanja a rather distinguished look as she enters the prime of her life. Her clear blue eyes shine out of a tanned face, that experience, and having children has lined a little.

Her height is perhaps slightly above average, but not by much, as is her weight.

Emotional Description of Persona:
A passion for art, and being able to represent things the way they really are led Thanja into the Printercraft.

She respects logic, and order as well as seeing beauty in all things.

Highly methodical, she can get set in her ways, anyone, or anything disrupting this may see the wrong side of her temper.

History of Persona:
Born at the Northern Printer Hall, it was assumed that like her parents, Jalansee and Corathan she would follow them into the craft.

And everything she saw there led her to that conclusion herself. Of course she never really saw the kind hands of her father Corathan steering her in that direction, as he gently encouraged her siblings.

Her sister Seecora, older by a turn and a half married when Thanja was twenty. Her husband had a brother, Kanydrin that he persuaded Thanja to meet. Soon, the family was celebrating the news of a second marriage.

Even though it seemed to take some time, partly because Thanja wanted to work to her mastery, children eventually arrived. A girl, Nytha and three boys, Jakrin, Anydr and Tanrin.

Despite the seven turn age gap, Thanja acheived her Mastery one turn before her husband, something she teased him about endlessly.

After some time, a position came up at the Southern Printer Hall at Topaz Sea Hold. It was too good a chance to miss, offering Thanja and Kanydrin more responsibilities and the chances of promotions. On the way south, the ship stopped briefly at Jade Harbour Hold. There, to their surprise, their daughter who had only recently walked the tables as a printer was searched for a clutch hardening at River Bluff Weyr. Nytha chose to go with the Searchrider, leaving the rest of the family to travel on to the Printer Hall.

They settled in there, leaving only to attend the hatching, where in a surprise twist, their middle boy also impressed.

Not that long ago, there was a storm that damaged the Printer Hall, and forced the remaining Printers to share space with the Harpers at Emerald Falls. Despite the suggestions of the Lord Holder, Thanja did not give up her rank, nor did many of the other female printers.

After the fire that destroyed the Harper Hall, the Printers have joined them in their move to Dolphin Cove, where the final surprise awaited Thanja, a promotion to Hallsecond.

Pets

Plumage, Blue Firelizard: aged 9, hatched m3 d5
A small, yet inquisitive flit. Plumage is a rather vivid shade of blue, like the sky at midday. His wingsails have markings on them that make them seem almost feathered in the right light, hence the name.

Only time will tell about his personality, for now, eating, sleeping and a chance to be made a fuss off are what he lives for.
