Name: Mae
Pronunciation: MAY
Age: 14 turns
Season Born In: Winter
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance:
Mae has a head of boyish cut, brown hair. She can really only wear it combed to either side. For special occasions, Mae will add colorful ribbons or pretty clips to her hair. Normally, however, her locks are hastily combed or hidden under a handkerchief or knitted hat or scarf.
Being a Harper, its helpful that Mae's fingers are slender, long and dainty. It almost seems to come naturally to strum a lute, or trill notes on a flute.
Her body is petite, and could be quite nice and pleasing to the eye, however she's to shy to show it. Mae does not like to be revealing. She is humble and prefers odd exotic dresses or long flowing skirts with drapery tops and sandles. Her style could be thought of as tropical.
However, Mae is also seen wearing a man's tunic and leather pants, and romping around with the weyr boys.
Mae also has a pink scar on her left palm, a smudge patch where she was burned when trying to help in the Kitchen.
Personality:
Mae is very quiet. She is terrified of being contradicted or judged. She was bullied so she tends to not like other girls, since the ones at Apolla Hold abused her.
She's very much a tom-boy. Not just her looks. She is not afriad to get dirty, no she enjoys a bit of dirt and grim and sweat and work. She greatly wishes to be respected like a Rider, to have a dragon.. but that dream seems so... unreal. So she tags along after boys her age or younger or older in hopes of friends, and later romance.
Her way of socialization is odd. She does many quirky things that make others label her. When nervous she'll scratch her head or chew her lip or fiddle with a string or edge of her clothing. Sometimes if she is really stressed she'll develop a slight jerky twitch in her left eye, barely noticeable but annoying.
Despite her tendancy to secluded herself from others, Mae adores performing. If she knows you and can put a put of trust in you, she'll really open up. Its neat to watch her sing and play her wide collection of instruments. Music is her best and most favorite passtime, so she's likely to be caught humming or praticing.
This little lady is also shy. When approuched she will politely wave and maybe say a word or two, but try to flee as soon as possible, unless she knows you. This is different around men, as she feels much more comfortable around boys.
Family:
Cayin - half-brother - Candidate -
Father- I'yan - Blue Gath
Mother- Maeline - Green Trilinoth
Location: Apolla Hold ---> Trelis Weyr
History:
Mae was a babe born from a flight. A careless, passionate night between strangers. Her mother did not have the heart to kill her by going between, to abort the mistake. As soon as Mae was born, however, she was sent to Apolla Hold in hopes she'd be raised well.
The women of the hold all took care of Mae, but there was very little 'parental connection' or a parent's love. It was not, however, too hard on Mae. But some wonder if this isn't why Mae is so quiet, bold and tom-boyish.
There were very few girls her age, and the ones that were picked on her. Mae's hair was too short and she sang too much. The silly girl acted like a Harper!
At the age of 7 turns, Mae had secluded herself from the other children. She busied herself with singing and song-writing and playing her reed flute. This flute was Mae's most treasured item, a gift from one of the maids.
The women caring for Mae saw her talent with music. Even so young she had a crisp and sweet voice and carried her tunes with surprising control. Mae was soon introduced to other instruments, and mentored by whoever could until she was too good for the help...
Mae's situation only grew worse. The teasing never ended and all of the songs Mae played were sorrowful. It was so hard to be talented but be hated...
The tears I feel today
I'll wait to shed tomorrow.
Though I'll not sleep this night
Nor find surcease from sorrow.
My eyes must keep their sight;
I dare not be tear-blinded.
I must be free to talk
Not choked with grief, clear-minded.
My mouth cannot betray
The anguish that I know.
Yes, I'll keep my tears till later:
But my grief will never go.
(Mae's favorite song by Menolly; this song described every emotion she's dealt with and it means a lot to her so she sings and plays it a lot)
Mae's tauntings became directed toward her lack of family.. All the poor girl could think of was who was her family.. her mother.. her father... Each insult hurt.. Every note she played was beautiful and sad. Things only started to be better when she reached the age of 12 turns.
It took alittle while for Mae's talent to really get noticed by those capable of teaching her more. And when she was noticed, she was taken on without a bit of hesitation.
Now she was apprenticed to Trelis Weyr's Harper, learning more everyday. One thing she did pick up was about her family, a very hush-hush topic around her. No one really cares to explain anything besides that her parents didn't really want her and left her here.
But one of the kitchen workers kept talking of a candidate, Cayin. Saying and wondering if he might want to know of his 'half-sister'.
Since then, Mae has been determined to find Cayin.
Craft: Harper
Ranking: Apprentice
Strengths: Mae has a lovely, well controlled and wide- ranged voice. She has a great memory when learning to sing a song as well as play it. Her fingers are quick and easily able to strum every string or chirp out any note or beat out a song upon anything.
Weaknesses: Mae does not have very good handwriting. Her hands are usually very tired from hours of practice so by the time she has spare time, she could care less. It also could be she received bad schooling so she was never taght proper penmanship. But she's working on it. Also, she struggles to build her own instruments that carry the right notes and tunes. Hers are usually slightly or very off-key.

Don't know how to get them from a real picture.....
Appearance:
Pip is a pretty little Kitty. Her fur is thick and somewhat long, with a soft silky texture. She's a pure white with dark orange brown splotches patterned on her.
She's unique, with one green eye and one blue eye.
Her nose is a delicate pink, triangular and cute. Her paws are tiny and she walks in dainty leaps and bounds, white sometimes stained it ink or dirt as she gets into things.
Personality:
You won't ever find a funnier kitten. Pip is pure entertainment, from being frightened by her shadow, to walking everywhere with inky paws. Just before bedtime, Pip with go crazy, bounding from wall to wall. From the table, to the bed, to the desk and back. Its like she has to rid herself of energy before sleeping...
Pip loves attention. She'll trot up to you and plop herself happily in your lap. When Mae comes home, Pip follows her around, mewing a million unknown questions.
This kitten is sweet and snuggly, always wanting to touch a part of Mae, either by forcefully plastering herself to the girl, or happily being picked up.
