weyrmate/lover: none

other: Fiara, cousin, 17 turns, Senior Apprentice Weaver, Green Valley Hold
Appearance:
A typical teenage tomboy, Tara stands at a fit 5'7" and is maturing into a slender wiry build. Toned muscles from turns of work show on her thin frame. Her brunette hair is usually cut close to her head in a very haphazard way since she cuts it her self to keep it out of her way. Her dark brown eyes are lit with a sharp intelligence and wit. Tara's thin lips are often found in a huge grin as if she's constantly laughing.
On her left cheek is a roughly circular scar that she proudly bares from the time she saved her mother's wherry pen from a rogue feline when she was barely six turns. Her right cheek near the corner of her smiling mouth bares a mole she wishes she could be rid of. Her hands are callused like her older brother's from a life time of handling runners and helping around the holding. This same work lent her skin a healthy glow.
Tara's usual attire consists of worn and stained work pants or shorts, a short-sleeved shirt despite the weather. To complete her wardrobe, she wears a pair of riding gloves and a serviceable cap to block out the sun. The only bright colors she wears is her cap and gloves. These are gifts from her favorite cousin whom she shares a birthday with.
Play-by: Natalie Portman
Personality:
As a typical tomboy would, Tara dislikes the frilly things in life. She much prefers a serviceable look on life. A very no-nonsense girl when it comes to her work, Tara does know when how to kick back and have fun. Although her sense of humor is a bit dry, Tara loves to laugh. After hearing a joke or funny story once, she is likely to remember it and pass it on.
Expecting a second boy Tara's parents weren't too sure what to do with a baby girl. So from the time she could walk on her own, Tara was given the same chores and tasks as her older brother. This instilled a great work ethic from an early age in the tomboy. She won't quit until the job is done, or long after everyone else has given up. This is a mixed blessing for this makes Tara appear very stubborn and strong willed. Well she is to a degree one might say.
Tara's love of animals lead her to the healing of her family's creatures. This compassion and nurturing often overrides her tomboy senses and makes her almost feminine. Or at the very least mothering. Now most of the time this does not extend to human babies or the ill for she finds it easier to deal with animals who don't sass back.
history:
Born the second child of a Trey and Mara, Tara lacked for very little as she grew up. Her older brother dotted on her, her mother did her best to help the girl grow up like her, and her father spoiled her. Her interest in animals came early, and developed quickly. She asked to become a healer of beasts shortly after her twelfth birthday, but she knew from her fifth turn what she wanted to be.
Sharing a birthday with someone is always a special thing. If it's family it's even better. Such is the case of Fiara and Tara. Cousins by birth, sisters by choice, the two were hardly ever apart. At least until, Fiara went off to learn more about her chosen craft from a master. For the first time in turns the best friends had a major fight. Tara didn't want Fiara to leave, but Fiara couldn't stay. There were secrets she had kept from her best friend for turns. Still unwilling to share her darkest secrets, Fiara left Tara behind to fend for herself.
A short turn after Fiara left, Tara found out what her best friend had been keeping from her. Fiara's father, Firator, was an abusive drunk with a taste for young girls. Now that his favored victim was gone, the man turned his nasty attentions to his niece. Trey caught one such attempt and forced the man from his home. Unsure if the sicking relative wouldn't come back to try again, Mara sent her only daughter to a distant relative in Nova Weyr. Hoping her brother-in-law would never find her there.
So now far from home, scared and unsure, Tara is trying to figure out just where a beast healer is needed among so many.
