Maeve

Description

(Circa 2012)
A lovely young woman with pale, ash blonde hair and intelligent hazel eyes, contrasting her slightly dusky skin. She is quite petite, not even reaching five feet in height. Her figure is fairly curvy, and well proportioned, showing that she has indeed reached the full blossom of womanhood.

At the moment, she's wearing a lightweight flower print dress, cut to show just a hint of clevage, with the skirt coming to just below her knees. Her feet are protected by delicate looking wherhide sandals.

(circa 2018)
A lovely lady with pale, ash blonde hair, dusky skin, and hazel eyes, barely topping five feet even. Even as she enters middle age, she still maintains an athletic figure, curvy and still supple. There is a sadness to her pretty face, especially in her eyes, which speaks of loss and loneliness.

She's currently dressed in her uniform, that of a Dolphincraft Journeyman, a blue jacket trimmed with silver, with matching pants and black wherhide boots. On onr shoulder is the craft patch but the other shoulder is bare, indicatiing her posting at the main Dolphincraft hall.

Background

Maeve was born in a small seaholding on Ista Island, the daughter of Vert, a Seacrafter, and Maera, a Weaver. Raised by her parents, rather than being fostered out, she grew up as part of the mob of kidlets that would essentially terrorize the hold. As she grew older, she didn't excel at her lessons, although this was more due to a fair bit of apathy rather than any mental deficiency. Simply put, she was intelligent, but lazy. She would rather spend her time with her friends, playing games or loafing about than doing lessons.

As she grew older, Maeve dabbled in several different crafts, but wasn't able to settle on any one. She enjoyed working with her mother's loom, and tried her hand at cooking, woodcarving, and even working with electronics. It's just that she didn't have the attention span to stick to one thing. At last, becoming frustrated with her incredibly poor attention span, she left her cothold, with the blessings of her family. She hoped to find someone or something to help her, and then, perhaps, make a life for herself.

Eventually, she made her way to Southern. Over the course of a turn, she traveled from Southern Hold, making her way eventually to Eastern Weyr. It was on her first day there that she did find the life that she sought, when, purely by chance, she met another young wanderer, a lovely girl named Sellana. The two girls practically fell in love at first sight, and became almost inseparable. Not long afterwards, a brilliant suggestion by Weaver Journeywoman Yeralla, Maeve approached the Dolphincraft.

For a time, the three were happy, until Sellana, who had joined the Bakercraft, found herself reposted suddenly. Maeve was left behind with Mahlia, as well as K's, one of the Greenrider's other lovers. While heartbroken by Sellana's departure, she tried her best to stay happy. However, the most unexpected event of all happened - Maeve was searched, ironically by her own weyrmate's dragon. Candidacy was hard for Maeve, especially considering that Mahlia was assigned as an Assistant Weyrlingmaster. Maeve, desperately lonely, found herself in trouble, and almost left candidacy, only to have Mahlia talk her out of it. At last, the hatching day came, and she was left, standing on the sands. Maeve stayed around Monaco Bay, but as other clutches were laid, she, like many other unsuccessful candidates, was transferred from one weyr to another. At last, though, without having found her lifemate, Maeve grew too old to stand. Also, the long separations affected her relationship with Mahlia, and while the two still cared deeply for each other, after her last stand, she chose to go to Dolphincraft Hall full timeā€¦

Notes

Maeve has what the ancient timer healers would have diagnosed as an extremely severe case of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (something she actually shares with her player.) As a teenager, she was easily distracted, and had difficulty concentrating. She also suffered from a surplus of energy, and often darted around, essentially for no apparent reason. She talked extremely fast, and often changed the subject multiple times within a conversation. While she still shows a tendancy toward this, her depression, combined with her lonliness and throwing herself into her work have blunted it, although it has been replace with a rendancy towards maudlin thoughts, and occasional bouts of withdrawl from the world.

Maeve originally retired by idle in 2013, and was recreated in 2018.
