Character Information
Name: Mishka
Gender: Female
Rank: Candidate
Location: Shadow Ridge Weyr
Age: 17
Birthplace: Ista Hold

Physical Description: (At least 4 sentences)
Mishka is tall, standing at about 5'10 inches and rather more curvy 
than she'd like. Her weight is average for someone of that height and 
while not 'thin' she is decidedly _not_ overweight. Average is a good word 
to describe her. Her face is oval and has a good spattering of freckles 
over her nose and cheeks. Her complexion is tanned from the sun and she 
does a lot of work out of doors. Her hair was dark when she was younger 
but has been bleached to a sort of hazel colours, it hangs to just 
below her shoulder blades. Her eyes are an ordinary shade of green. Her 
lips are quite full but tend to be cracked from her biting them! She is a 
pretty girl but it is not the first thing you notice about her!

Clothing/Weapons: (At least 2 sentences)
Mishka tends to wear earthy colours. She finds that greens best bring 
out her eyes and compliment her hair. Being brought up on a small hold 
she wears practical skirts and blouses. Most of her clothes have been 
mended many times and let out to accommodate a growing girl. She would go 
running around in trousers if only her father would let her! Mishka 
posses one weapon, a short belt knife with a tooled handle, which she 
knows how to use, if threatened!

Personality:
Mishka is not docile by any stretch of the imagination! She's not one 
to hold a grudge but she won't hesitate in telling people what she 
thinks of them! She tries not to be blunt but sometimes words just spill 
over. She's a caring person at heart and wouldn't deliberately hurt 
someone, its just sometimes her words run away with her. She can be quite 
chatty and likes to have long conversations about nothing in particular. 
She posses a fair amount of patience but being human can turna round 
and give whoever annoys her what for! Four words to describe her would 
be: hard working, determined, compassionate and Chatterbox!

History:
Mishka grew up Ista Hold. She had a happy childhood with both parents 
and a brother always nearby as well as the other young people there. 
Shes not unused to hard work and was being primed to take over the 
stables from her brother. That was before a green dragon and her rider came 
swooping down. They actually came to speak to her father about providing 
some extra food for the Weyr but it turned into congratulations because 
the green dragon searched Icthars daughter! So in a whirlwind the 16 
year old was taken to Ista Weyr and her life changed. She was there a 
year before the first clutch was due and turned 17. She would have stood 
candidate in a couple of weeks but the desperate bid for candidate and 
inhabitants at Shadow Ridge got her flown down to stand for this rushed 
clutch. Now shes arrived and is anxious to get to know her new home.
