Name: Meriden Nalison
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Sexual Preference: Undecided
Rank: Candidate Fodder ( ;) )

Appearance: Short, deathly thin, and very sharp-featured, one could
even say mousy (if the Earth reference is allowable :P). Attractive, in
her own way, as she projects her vibrant emotions almost as a
tangible aura. She keeps her hair cut short, but not too short - never
higher than the bottom of her earlobs, never lower than the top of
her shoulders. Meriden is possessed of bright green eyes and flaming
red-orange hair that fades into a deeper almost blood color near the
roots. She is not fragile, relative to her frame, but she's still less
sturdy than the norm.

Personality: Meriden is extremely sharp-minded and even
sharper-tongued. Her biggest challenge in life is overcoming her own
scorn of those less intelligent than herself, even when they are in
positions of greater authority, but she is confident in herself and
doesn't back down easily. She's been called stubborn, foolhardy, and
lacking common sense, but she prefers to think of herself as
tenacious. She is opinionated, calculating, and loves a good
argument, provided they don't descend to far into insults - after all, if
you drown the point in belittlement, the poor fool won't understand
the point at all. She seems to feel emotions stronger, more intensely,
than most people do - not only negative emotions like depression
(rather than sadness) and wrath (rather than anger), but positive
emotions such as joy, or even euphoria (rather than happiness) and
courage or boldness (rather than curiosity), as well.

History: Meriden lives a fairly commonplace life on a small holding in
Izvand, near the border of that Hold with Thyra, and she's been
known to take walks in the forests of the gray areas of the border.
She's been selected by her Hold's Healer to be sent on for training,
but it's not a choice she's most thrilled with - the fire of emotion burns too hot
in her blood, and she doesn't feel satisfied at the prospect of a life of
mending people. She'd rather be out doing something - anything.. if
only she knew what. She is rather.. er, persuasive (read:
intimidating?).. with her parents (as well as her siblings, being in
charge of them often) and could undoubtedly get her way - if she
knew what her way was. She is the oldest of a family of 7 children.

Notes:

Well, that's me best attempt for the night. All things considered (especially how long it's been since I made a character), I'm rather satisfied with it. I think I might go write a "Hey somebody! SEARCH ME!" post write now to post in the morning :P I picked the name Meriden because I really like the name Merideth, but that would violate the unwritten rule of ending people names with -th, which I personally try to keep because otherwise I myself would get confused with my own characters :P. If you find any problems, lemme know so I can fix them. =D

Sounds good to me. Accepted. =3 I demand that her scrawny little body BURNS from sunlight =D

Heheh, she's probably learned how to bathe in the Pernesian version of Aloe by now XD
