Name: Shakinah Raine
Age: 27, born in Winter
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Rank: Rider
Location: Sylian
Personality: Shakinah is a very sweet young woman, she has been since nearly birth. Her parents often brag that she was a perfect baby, not inclined to cry that often and quietly when she had to. That wonderful, hospitable personality stayed with her as she grew and got recruited to the riders. Has never been known to hate anyone, which can be a downfall in some cases. Very trusting, almost to the point of worship. In the riders she's known for her quiet but wise demeanor, and has a knack for common sense. Many times her words have shed light in an unfamiliar situation. Shakinah loves candidates and tends to spend time with them over fellow riders. However, it takes a while for her to meet new people, and she is naturally shy. Hates snakes, spiders, and overly small spaces. Acts essentially like a girl at all times.
She and her Janka, Crysstoph, are a close pair. They can't be separated for long or else Shakinah will go nearly insane with worry.
Appearance:
A slight, petite young woman with dark brown hair and eyes, Shakinah's true beauty doesn't come from her pretty face. Yes, she's a beautiful sight to look at, but one can really tell that her genuine kindness comes from her heart. Her cheeks are always colorful, her eyes always radiant, unless she and Crysstoph are in battle (And it is very hard to smile there, don't you agree?). She stands about five foot six feet tall and weighs somewhere in the vicinity of one hundred and forty pounds. Shakinah doesn't have a voice that commands that much attention; it tends to be softer and bell-like, though she has been known to raise it up to a very angry shout. This tends to happen in high-stress or annoyance situations.
A slender, hourglass figure gives her a flexibility and shape that gets her through a lot of scrapes. She may not be a powerful girl but she can outmaneuver a tougher person and give them a run for their money. When she's on the back of her Janka she looks smaller. However, this is a sort of advantage, making her a smaller target. Because of her size, she prefers not to fight hand-to-hand, but it's something that can't be avoided.
Family:
Pets: None
Name: Sihre (Sir) Crysstoph
Color: #3300CC
Age: 6 years old
Personality: Crysstoph is a lot like his rider, though a bit more out there. Calm and patient, he tries his hardest to bear with everyone as well as he can. He loves company and groups, even if he's standing in a sea of dragons. Always active, he loves helping Shakinah and will go everywhere with her, that is, when he can. Often he has to be reminded that he can't go in buildings. Easily offended, he tends to treat people who have said something negative towards him and Shakinah before with a suspicious eye. He demands respect in some cases, though he's usually understanding enough to recognize when he doesn't deserve it. Very obedient, he'll do practically anything his rider wants him to do, in his ability and even if it puts his life in danger for her.
Appearance: Unfortunately Crysstoph's color doesn't protect him from being easily spotted in the sky, though it is nearly the right hue of blue. He does seem to be a bit darker blue than some of the others in the corps. This is supposedly due to an infusion of black somewhere in his maternal line. He has a dirty white belly and underparts, including the insides of his legs, noticeably gray but not too much so. Probably due to his tawny mother, he has a distinct brown supercilium above his eye and tear streaks down his face and onto his chest (about a milk chocolate brown). There are darker brown spots and lines on his wings, and a cocoa brown covers his snout. He's not a big Janka, however he's not small either, coming in at about the sixtieth percentile for size. His tail is one solid color, coming to a cocoa brown again near the end.
Parentage: Blue x Tawny
History: Shakinah Raine was born on a cold winter's day to Maryann and Daniel Raine. Their cozy abode in the forests five miles west of Sylian kept out the elements; anything worse, her father could chase off with his sword or coals from his blacksmith shop. She was a small baby at first, having been born a bit early. It was even thought that she would not make it through her first year of life. Fortunately, with the love and good care of her parents, she blossomed into a healthy young woman. She was a quick learner, and became a very creative individual. She'd find paper and something to write with, and wander through the forest, drawing birds.
She was always obsessed with flying. She wanted to learn how to fly however could think of no other way than joining the riders, a near-impossible opportunity. For the time being she had to settle for admiring the finches, sparrows, and jays. Someday, though, she swore that she would become a rider.
When she turned 15 Shakinah kissed her parents and set off to the Sylian to sign up to be a rider. She wanted to be a Janka candidate so badly, it squirmed inside her whenever she thought about it.
Finally she got the results- she was accepted! She looked forward to the future, and getting her Janka.
A few hatchings and two years later and still Shakinah did not have her Janka. Her hope was blazing as high as usual, though, and she still crossed her fingers for her blue Janka.
Finally a Tawny had a clutch by a blue. Two of the eggs were blue, the other tawny. Shakinah watched the clutch intently, most particularly an egg that was a few shades darker blue than its brother.
The hatching went off well. The tawny and other blue egg went to other Janka candidates. The last one to hatch was the dark one. The small Janka crawled out of its egg, scanned the candidates, and made its way to Shakinah.
It was a match made in heaven. Training, and everything later she and Sihre Crysstoph were a team. They were promoted to full rider and Janka only about three years ago. So far they've been pretty successful.
What are the staff to do with this character if you go inactive? Whatever is easiest. I don't mind either way, killing her off or adopting her.
