Physical Description: Unfortunate at best, there’s a reason her nickname has always been “Horseface.” A large jawline, a straight and large nose, eyes just too widely apart, and a wide mouth with big lips. She’s unattractive, no two ways about it. She doesn’t even seem to notice, either! Plain old muddy hazel eyes, muddy brown hair with no shine to it, thick and it might be silky but it’s always in two braids and seems to have a permanent layer of dust over it. Her face has a few acne scares on her cheeks and a slightly blotchy complexion. She’s about 5’5”, and is actually in shape, since she spends all day training and riding horses. Her figure isn’t much to speak of though. Average chest size, average hips, not slim, but filled out and just kind of there. She doesn’t dress to show off anything, just jeans, overalls, button-down shirts and t-shirts. Boots like any cowgirl worth her salt, and of course –a cowboy hat. (think Tori Spelling-ish)

Personality: Rosalind doesn’t have much personality to redeem her looks, or is it vice versa? Not much common sense, not much smarts either. She knows what she knows – horses! And that’s just about as far as it goes. She’ll be more than happy to talk your ear off about Centauri’s Flight and his pacing, or maybe you’d rather know how Pern Runner is doing now that she’s been determined to be carrying twin foals? Well, hope you’re interested, cause Rosalind’s a talker and she only talks about that. She’s happy with her life and lot, likes Pern, looks forward to raising horses for her whole life. Not much of a flirt, shy with that idea of things, she tends to overlook a boy’s value as a boy and her being a girl unless it gets pointed out to her. She’s basically a ditz who knows a lot about horses. She’s not exactly the most grown up or mature person…a little girl obsessed with horses who really only got bigger physically. She has an odd way of speaking…“cutesy”, but mostly annoying.

Background: Rosalind was always around horses. She could ride almost as soon as she could walk. It’s been her life. So her father (her mom died when she was 8) signed up for the Pern project as horse breeder, and the two of them plus Rosalind’s two brothers were off. They quickly staked out a horse farm not far from Landing, and moved it gladly to stay with New Landing. Who wants to live around a volcano, after all? Rosalind is good with her horses, treats them well, knows how to care for them, and she’s damn good when riding on one. She’s been looking to inherit her dad’s farm when he passes on; luckily, they’re all still alive and have had only minimal losses from Threadfall. It’s an interestingly vague story of how she ended up a Candidate, but chances are someone said the dragons were intended to be rode and keep the farmlands from dying out entirely….

Family/Friends:
Nick Barber, 48, father, horse ranch owner outside New Landing
Jimmy Barber, 27, brother, horse breeder outside New Landing
Hank Barber, 16, brother, horse trainer and rider outside New Landing

Hobbies & Skills: Riding, horses, riding….oh, horses. And talking about horses.

If your persona were a song, the title: “My Little Pony”!

Pets: a green firelizard, wild, named Filly. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. Pretty lackluster as firelizards go!

Dragon's Name: Pitinith
Age: ~1 (hatched d13.m3.y11)
Color: Gold
Physical Description: Pitinith is not very impressive. She is scrawny with her bones showing along her rib cage. Her hide is a dark, muddy orange with brown undertones that look like dirt.
Personality: Pitinith is a good match for her rider. She does everything slowly... moving, thinking, speaking. She has few interests beyond eating and sleeping. She's passive and could care less about what her human partner does.
