History:✣At 25, Weyrwoman Karene and Brownrider L’sen gave birth to Emerene, their first child. Not a result of mating flight lust, but made of deep human passion, it was the start of something beautiful, but not made to last. Emerene’s parents separated soon after she was born and due to the animosity they both held for eachother, she was often ignored by them, quickly being handed over to a fostering mother. Throughout Emerene’s growing up she was a sweet child and not incredibly fussy, but as she grew older, being made clearly aware of who her parents were, she began to feel some sense of resentment toward them. Others either avoided her or wanted to be close to her because of her parentage. She felt as though that is all that people saw in her; that people did not want to be with her for who she was. A sense of being neglected by others emotionally in that way, caused her to always seek attention from whatever source she could get it, as long as the attention was for herself and not due to others seeing her mother in her. Emerene does not truly dislike her parents though. She can’t blame her mother for being the Weyrwoman, and thinks her mother is a good weyrwoman. She does however, see her father in a little less positive light because he simply fell out of love with her mother, and then seeing Karene in his daughter, neglected to be with her. She feels as though she has a right to dislike him, yet she doesn’t. Not completely anyway.
Of her siblings, Emerene was only ever really close to a few; mostly on her mother’s side, including Thanekar, the next oldest in line. Together, a number of them joined in the Brat Pack and had their own kids club in which they could find security and friendship amoungst eachother. She’s kept a close knit circle of childhood friends outside of half siblings as well, but she does her best to be social with everyone. She is curious about other people and wants to stay in the know and make sure that people know about her as much as they know about her mother.
Amoungst the brat pack, Emerene was always active and tried to be a leader, but found herself a little too shy to assert herself in that way just yet. Now that she was too old to be included, she acted as such -too mature to involve herself with such childish things. Though, now she tries to annoy the younger kids by foiling their carefully made plans of taking over the weyr and causing all kinds of mayhem. That is, when she has time away from candidate duties and chasing after boys.
✣At 16, Emerene hopes to begin standing as a candidate. She’s begun taking candidate classes, living in the candidate barracks, and enjoying the feeling of a little more independence that that gives her. She has always dreamed of impressing a Gold like her mother did, but she doesn’t want to be the same kind of Weyrwoman Karene is. She’ll be her own person one day, and people will recognize her for who she is instead of for her breeding. Emerene has never really thought of becoming anything else.
As Emerene has grown into being a young woman, she has become very attention seeking of men -of a wide range of ages. Subconsciously, she’s compensating for the neglect her father treated her with, having always wanted a male to play a significant role in her life, but never having had that, so she seeks it now by attracting as many males as she can, though never being satisfied with the attention. She does not sleep around with guys though, yet, as she is just to the age where she’s starting to want to be with a man romantically. She is a huge flirt though, and loves to gossip about boys with her girl friends.
Personality:✣✣Free spirited, willful but not one who necessarily challenges authority
✣Flirt, but not sleazy. She has more respect than to sleep around -at least just yet. She’d rather be a
tease, and let them all wonder just what they’re missing. She enjoys playing with boys in regards to how they feel about her mother being the Weyrwoman.
✣Not as single-mindedly ambitious as her mother, but she still possesses a similar kind of drive to be independent and of influence.
✣Not controlling of others, but likes to feel in control of her own situation.
✣Doesn’t care for the orderliness her mother possesses; her room tells as much.
✣Not selfish
✣Not arrogant, though she is rather prideful.
✣Warm personality, and charismatic, so she finds that making friends comes with ease, as does warming boys up to her usually.
✣Rebellious in her own way, Emerene specifically targets ranked riders or bronzeriders when she flirts, because she knows her mother disapproves of them.
✣Feminine, but not frail in her looks nor mannerism.
✣She’s good at making little fibs/ half truths or all out made up stories to lead men on
✣Energetic
✣Gossip. Another way she is able to feel accepted. She needs to feel accepted into social circles as a girl, but also because of her birth, being the daughter of the Weyrwoman. She tries to fit into as many social circles she can, bouncing between them at will as long as it suits her. She also desires to be accepted by men.
✣Not exceptionally athletic, though finds herself perfectly capable of tasks given to her requiring physical labour. She does however, find herself unable to quite keep up with the greater exertion required of sports etc, and prefers watching.
✣Highly determined and stubborn when she sets her mind to something.
✣Strives to be recognized and be appreciated for being herself, not for being her mother’s daughter. Attention seeking in a good way typically.
✣Secretly seeks to please her mother more than anyone. She wants her mother to see her highly and be proud of her -even if she does try to annoy her mother at times.
Shortcomings:✣Can get out of hand sometimes with flirtations or never feel satisfied with the attention she gets, because emotionally she’s trying to compensate for turns of being ignored outside of the fact that she was the Weyrwoman’s daughter. That’s all people seemed to care about. In a way, that causes her to resent her mother, so she flirts with Bronzers just to tick her mother off. That is her revenge.
Mannerisms/ Habits:✣Pouts her lips when disappointed. Also has a goofy lopsided face of disgust that she makes. She’s pretty good at making silly faces. Her expressions can be very animated.
Skills/ Likes:✣[Boys]: She loves males, always seeking their attention. She does not usually do this in a super-openly way, throwing herself at them, but she flirts with her eyes and subtly by her words and behaviour rather than making the signs overly obvious. She doesn’t want to be perceived as a whore, but she wants to know that her beauty is admired by them and that men like her and desire her in some way -whether it be through friendship or more.
✣[Being appreciated]: Being appreciated for being herself, not for being her mother’s daughter.
Unskilled at/ Dislikes:✣[Easy boys]: When men are too easy to get, they’re no fun.
✣[Staying organized]: There’s no real need to be and it’s a waste of her time, so she never really bothers.
✣[When people look at her and only see her mother]: She abhors when others look at her and only think of her mother. Why can’t people look at her and notice HER? For who SHE is and not have to bring up the Weyrwoman?
Fighting Style/ Weapon of Choice:N/A
