Journeyman Healer Aileena
Name: Aileena
Rank/Position: Journeyman Healer
Sex: female
Age/B'date: 05.02.11 (Turn approximated), about 28 Turns
Height: 5'4"
Weight/Build: 120lbs, petite
Eyes: blue
Complexion: medium
Hair Color: Light brown, prone to blonder streaks in summer weather.
Style: Very light, smooth hair. She prefers to braid her hair and pin the braids up into a looping bun or crown of braids. When she was younger, her signature style was to wear her hair loose with just the top tied back out of her face. She still wears it this way sometimes when she’s feeling lazy.
Identifying Marks: scar on her side
Facial Features: Even, proportional features, an oval face and a small chin. Aileena is rather plain looking, neither particularly pretty nor unattractive.
Birthplace: Rillistide Cothold
Parents: Leeda, Rassange, cotholders
Siblings:
12 full siblings; oldest is 20 turns older; younger is 8 turns younger.
General Background:
Born at isolated Rillistide Cothold in Fort Weyr territory, Aileena had never been more half a day’s ride from home in the first dozen years of her life. She might have been destined for the tough and unremarkable life of a farmer except that, at the age of 12 she was set to tend to the only firelizard egg ever to enter Rillistide Cothold, and accidentally Impressed gold Brightsky. Her father, for whom the egg was intended, was furious. Brightsky compounded her problems by rising at a gather some time later, which landed Aileena under the sheets with Fort Weyr brownrider S’mis. S’mis saved her from immediate marriage by taking her to Fort Weyr.
Homeless and without vocation, neither a candidate not true Weyrfolk, and still very young, Aileena became a fosterling of S’mis’ cousin, Journeyman Healer Karreina. Karreina insisted that Aileena learn to read, and encouraged Aileena to help out in the Weyr infirmary. She was officially apprenticed as a healer about 18 months after arriving at the Weyr.
The next couple years were a whirlwind for Aileena. She eventually found her family again, only to discover that her parents had disowned her. She was invited to visit her brother, a Journeyman Farmer, who pressured her to marry his favorite apprentice. The apprentice tried to take advantage of her but she was rescued by S’mis.
In the 24th Turn, she was Searched as a queen candidate but failed to Impress. She withdrew as a candidate afterward and threw her energy into her craft.
In Turn 26, she walked the tables to become a Journeyman Healer.
Personality:
Aileena spent the first 13 Turns of her life as one brat in her parents’ large brood. Poor and perpetually struggling, she received only the most minimal education along with a large serving of highly conservative morals. She still struggles at times against the nobody-from-nowhere identity that was foisted upon her by her birth family.
A crafted Healer for 13 Turns, Aileena feels secure in her craft and in her medical judgement. Thanks to an apprenticeship spent serving during Threadfall in the Fort Weyr infirmary, she can handle the stress of emergency situations while retaining her calm. And yet, her inner sense of insecurity forces her to take the time to double-check her own decisions when she can.
Aileena is not shy, but she tends toward thoughtful reserve. She is not afraid to speak up when necessary, but is not the type of woman to engage in idle chatter or gossip. She is generally only free and open with her close friends. For Aileena, true friendship is rare and deeply treasured.
Though she still feels vaguely uncomfortable with some of the “looser” behaviors of Weyrfolk, she considers Fort Weyr her home. Her years serving in the Weyr infirmary and seeing closehand the devastating injuries dragonriders suffer to protect Pern left her with a deep and abiding sense of duty toward the Weyr and toward dragonriders. She feels that she owes everything she has to the kindness of her foster family at Fort
She can be quite firm in her opinions, but has grown out of the senseless stubbornness of her youth.
