Character Info:
Name: Zhayde
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Rank: Weyrbrat
Family:
Zahandren;; Father;; DragonShield;; age 35
Appearance: It is very apparent when you look at Zhayde that she is a tomboy. Her straight, black as night, hair is cropped off just below her chin, leaving just enough length to pull back into a short ponytail. Large, almond-shaped eyes are a dark brown, nearly black, and are framed with a thick set of lashes. At this age her body is just beginning to lose all of its baby fat, leaving her face a delicate heart-shape. As with any pre-teen, her skin is creamy and flawless. She's around average height for her age, which is about 5'0" tall, and skinny at 95lbs.
Zhayde has never known a mother's guidance as she has been primarily raised by her father, who is now a member of the Dragon Shield. Her father raised her in many ways as he would a son, which is why her appearance lacks the feminine touches that a mother brings. A normal outfit for the pre-teen is a simple pair of breeches, a pair of lace-up round toe boots, and a simple brown tunic that she keeps lashed at the waist with a sash.
Body Model: Suzuka Ohgo
Personality:
;;Optimistic
;;Intelligent
;;Quiet
;;Stubborn
;;Competitive
;;Rash
Having been raised by a man who excels in hand-to-hand combat, Zhayde has a tendency to solve her problems with force, using techniques and skills passed on to her by her father. It is because of this that the weyrbrat has found herself in trouble with the Headwoman on more than one occasion. Still, Zhayde would never admit to being in the wrong, and she certainly wouldn't apologize for busting another kid in the nose after he stole the ball she was playing with. Zhayde can be extremely stubborn and is often reluctant to accept new acquaintances as friends.
Despite these things, Zhayde is usually quiet, preferring to contemplate and observe the things said and done by others before acting herself. She's quite intelligent for a child, but rarely speaks up to voice her opinion unless asked. Competitive to a fault, Zhayde loves to win, mostly because she was taught by her father that to be successful you always had to be number one.
Zhayde is called "Rainbow" by the BratPack because of her generally optimistic outlook. While it's not often that the quiet girl speaks up, when she does, it's usually an epiphany or something flowery and awe-inspiring. Even though some could say that her head is often in the clouds, Zhayde is an extremely loyal member to the BratPack and is happy to belong somewhere.
Hobbies/Skills:
;;Practicing hand-to-hand combat with her father
History:
Zhayde grew up in a Hold with a guard for a father. She has no recollection of her mother, and with a father as tight-lipped as Zahandren, she's never learned anything further on the subject of her parentage. Zhayde is certain, however, that her mother is alive as occasionally Zahandren will receive a letter (that Zhayde, of course, is never allowed to see), and then he'll start muttering about, "That damn, fool woman!" After a couple of Turns of asking about her mother, and receiving no information from Zahandren, "for her own good", Zhayde finally stopped asking and figured that if her mother ever wanted to meet her she would.
When she wasn't in harper classes with the other Hold children, Zhayde was with her father, being taught basic self-defense techniques and other things that her father hoped she was carry on one day, to hopefully become a guard, or "something useful", he would say.
Desiring her to succeed in her father's eyes, and make him proud, Zhayde worked tirelessly on her assignments for her harper classes, and always made marks at the top of her class. She worked just as hard as the simple exercises that her father would teach her as well. Zhayde was only just beginning to entertain ideas of perhaps joining the harpercraft someday when her father was invited to join the Dragon Shield at Refuge Weyr because of his prowess as a guard. The man, honored naturally, consented and he moved them to the Weyr.
There at the Weyr Zhayde found friends among the BratPack, and eventually adopted the alias, "Rainbow". It was with great sadness, for Rainbow at least, that one of their own- Evelys- was killed when the Holdless attacked the Weyr. For her part, Zhayde had defended herself better than most would expect for a little girl- all thanks to her father's training, of course. Still, the BratPack had learned a hard lesson that day about letting the adults handle things.
While Rainbow was not one of the lucky ones that managed to snag a firelizard egg from Orlai's clutch, she quietly admired the other BratPack member's new friends.
Now she secretly harbors dreams of Impressing some day, but still is making plans to join the harpercraft, just in case. For now though, she's simply content to enjoy being a Weyrbrat while it lasts.
