Awards
Crayon Awards: Most Intriguing Female Persona (November 2007)

Physical Description of Persona:
Standing at 5'6" and a slim 125 pounds, Tamaca is not a classic beauty but a person of practiced good looks. Her dark brown hair is worn straight to mid-back while her wide-set brown eyes often seem coldly analytical. She has a wide mouth and a cultivated low smile, developed not out of vanity but because it usually gets her what she wants. She dresses in bright colors and seems to enjoy being the center of attention.

Emotional Description of Persona:
If asked, Tamaca would describe her approach to life as "Life's short – have fun." This philosophy has only developed in the past few years, since the death of her brother. She is sociable and enjoys partying. She also enjoys casual bedding of partners and has initiated a few Hold-born candidates to the ways of the Weyr. However, she forms no attachments, has no close friendships, and is conscientious in her use of tea for birth control, having no wish to bring a child into a world with Thread.

History of Persona:
Tamaca was the third-born child of weyrmates A'car and Tambila. Before she was weaned her parents had gone separate ways, amiably but mostly at A'car's instigation in protest to the healer's long shifts in the infirmary. When she reached suitable age, Tamaca apprenticed as a harper but also stood as a candidate and was delighted when both of her brothers Impressed. However, in the first Threadfall of this Pass, both were scored. After a Turn of recuperation and much scarring, L'car returned to his wing duties, but T'din, who had been Tamaca's closest companion throughout childhood, perished from his injuries.

After that Threadfall, Tamaca changed. She distanced herself from others, though she still visits family members, including her younger half-siblings. She stopped attending classes for her craft and was often late for duties, until she finally gave up her apprenticeship. She still works as a scribe and takes that seriously enough to be on time each day. She also stands at Hatchings as a memorial to her deceased brother.
