Description

At only five and a half feet tall with a slender almost delicate build, this woman doesn't immediately stand out from a crowd by build alone. Her rich umber skin is unblemished by sun or scar, with a softness to it that speaks of great care for one's appearance and a history with little to no hardship. Her facial features are soft and slightly rounded with a pleasing symmetry; perfectly arched dark brows, large gentle bronze-brown eyes framed by long black lashes, a button-ish nose, moderately upturned full lips, and a rounded by still strong jawline. The most notable physical feature about her though is that her short black hair is shaved close to her skull though is no less immaculate in its presentation.

Modesty is of utter paramount to this young lady. While her dress has been tucked and cut to show off her feminine figure, no immodest skin has been allowed to show. The dress, made of light and flow-y ochre colored linen with delicate floral embroidery about the neck and hems, is high necked with loose sleeves down to the elbow, and ends at ankle length. Her shoes match, of course, and seem better suited to a life indoors rather than any strenuous outdoor activity. She does wear some jewelry, namely a bracelet made of blue-green gem chips and irregularly shaped pearls.


Common Knowledge

  • Roheis was unceremoniously delivered to Southern Weyr by a very apologetic Northern Watchrider one early Autumn morning, carrying only one moderately sized bag with her personal belongings.
  • She's from one of the cotholds up Telgar way but has been non-specific as to which.
  • Sometime after her arrival she came into possession of a firelizard egg that hatched bronze. His name is Sorrel.
  • Her leanings are most definitely on the conservative end.

Relationships


History

Roheis is the second daughter of four to an ambitious cotholder beholden to Telgar Hold. Her father, seeking to climb the social ladder, ensured that all of his (legitimate) children were educated and could present themselves with elegance and poise while still having the skills to run a household, as he fully intended to marry each of them strategically and ultimately better his position. As one can imagine this did not leave much room for frivolity and individual expression within the staunchly conservative cothold and whatever little of it did arise was quickly stifled and forcefully replaced with lessons on "duty" and "fealty".

As soon as she was of age Roheis was married off to an older cotholder, notably with more land and therefore greater influence, whose previous wife had passed in childbirth without ever providing him a male heir. Roheis's main duty in the marriage was evidently clear but outside of these "wifely duties" her husband allowed her greater freedom. She took a hands on role within the cothold, going so far as to assist with day to day activities rather than simply oversee. Though she remained professionally distant with her people she was mostly well-liked by the populace. Her husband's daughter, who was two or so Turns old at the time of Roheis's marriage, was treated as her own and she ensured the child had a proper upbringing, notably with more freedoms and chances to be a child than she had.

Turns passed and still Roheis had not produced an heir. In fact, she hadn't ever conceived as far as she could tell. Of course this simply couldn't stand, and seeing as her husband had been able to get a woman with child previously, clearly the issue was with her. To save the family and cothold from further embarrassment the marriage was quietly and swiftly annulled, and she packed up and sent out on the first Watchrider available. Neither family particularly cared where she ended up, just that it was away and her failings no longer a problem for them.
