Appearance:
Iselakwe is a young adult with shiny black shoulder length curly hair and bright cheerful and soulfull green eyes that just seem to reach into your soul. Her eyes are subtle almond shape, her lips softly thin with a subtly dainty nose. She's about 5'4" tall and built kinda stocky from hard work. Not the overly muscled but just enough to be vulumptious yet not to heavy weight. She's roughly about 129-130lbs. of all muscle.
She dresses in leather custom made for her by her leather maker father. She prefers durable leathers with white shirts in all natural browns and whites. Tho not ideal for farming she prefers knee-high boots to keep the weeds out of her pants and a basic rope belt for keeping her vest and pants on. She always wears pants and clothes that are comfortable yet made for work so not much into dresses.
Iselakwe don't like to put her hair up. If she needs to keep her hair out of her eyes she just puts on a headband to push it back. Her skin is a permanent farmers tan that she keeps healthy and youthful with natural herbal salves she makes herself. She hasn't been faced with any incidents to cause any scars so she is scar free.
Personality :
Iselakwe is a hard worker and focused on her work, chores, and duties. She's not interested in girly things nor dating. She's always had to be mature and responsible. She grew up in a loving family with strong values of teamwork and no one is better than another family member. Since she could walk she's always happily enjoyed helping her mom out with house chores and was always right at her side. She don't waste her time for arguement because she has so much work to do and that's all tha matters to so she'll walk away from debates and mind her own business mostly.
She didn't like going into the main holds often and prefers the quiet of the country life she lived. Yet she enjoys helping her dad take produce and supplies into the weyr or pickup supplies her and her family needs. On her free time she just prefers picking flowers and going on nature hikes with her Whers and taking in all the beauty around her. Tho wild whers can be rough at times moments of just being with her pals and enjoying the simple things in life is what makes the challenges worth it.
Iselakwefocuses on the positive and won't whine or fret over things. There's not time to dwell on the bad, just do what you can to fix it and continue with your work. Then tomorrow will be a new day. She loves her life so much she is always a happy person who brightens other people's day even tho sometimes she seems self-absorbed due to her keeping busy.
History :
She's always lived far out in the lush hilly countryside of a nameless Cothold far from the nearest minorhold known as Cathar Hold. Yet this don't bother as long as she has her whers or a runner and cart and it's where she's happy. She likes to call her farm Wildflower Prairie. From sun up to sundown her day is all about taking care of the livestock, crops, and home. She's kinda wanted to be a healer but has never officially persued the trade tho she does know a bit about gathering herbs and mixing them into ointments and basic first aid for healing the animals or a neighbor when the need arises.
She's an only child so she don't know a thing about siblings and pretty much it's been just her, her dad, and her mom to tend the home and farm. her grandparents passed a few years back and now that's she's gotten older she chose to take more responsiblities on. This has allowed her mom to relax and take to sewing for enjoyment. Between this and her love for critters it was a no brainer for her to go impress some whers it was time for it.
Her change in her fate started with simple deliveries. She was delivering some food to the Weyr's Kitchens and felt a need to stay there. It was one of those feelings that you just know you need to be there. She asked around and found a place to stay there. It would be hard to be away from her beloved farm but she just felt she needed to try living here. She'd live in the weyr and travel back there to tend the farm when she was able and possibly get someone who could help her mom when she's not there. She started out exploring after getting a place to stay and a job helping wash dishes and clean floors. She entered the sands and was drawn to a jaguar spotted brown egg that became her impressed Cliffside Catamount Iselakwesk.
