Persona Profile: Anreday

Writer: Kate

Name: Anreday
Age: 24
Birthday: m6 d20
Rank: Hold Resident
Location: Elsewhere on Pern

Physical Description of Persona:
Anreday is a small girl, standing at about 4'9" and weighing approximately 100 pounds. Thin, but healthy, Anreday has yet to come into her full female stature, but the changes are quickly coming along.

She has her mothers dark blue eyes and her fathers light brown hair that hangs in soft curls down her back. Pale and freckled skin makes her appear a bit more childish, though her personality rivals that. Her large blue eyes are very giving of her emotions and she has a hard time keeping her feeling to herself because of it.

Her mother supplies her clothing, so they are always nice dresses with a personal touch, thanks to her father's skills as a weaver and her mother's ability with embroidery. Both her parents believe in creating an air of elegance and class, even if there is not the breeding and blood in you. This is something Anreday has come accustomed too and she is very proud of her wardrobe.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Being a child, Anreday still has that childish love for fun and trouble and would much rather be out playing than in with her mother. Some would think her parents are a bit overbearing of their only daughter, but in truth, they want what is best for her and to them, a good marriage to a good man is exactly what she needs.

Anreday understands her place, since its been lectured to her since she was a babe and she knows nothing else. She knows she is not of blood but even she knows that she will marry and within the next few turns and her duty will then be to her husband and not her parents.

Besides the ideals and morals her mother has instilled in her, Anreday simply loves life. She does her best to not look for the bad, but the good in all things. She is content in doing her womanly duties, but is glad that within the hold (outside her family) she is a mere child and is known to sneak out every once in awhile to enjoy the things she doesn't have clear access to.

History of Persona:
Anreday is the oldest child and only daughter of weaver Aniler and his wife, Fairlyn of Garnet Valley Hold. Holdbred as they are, Fairlyn married her husband at the age of 16 and gave birth to Anreday the next turn. And even though the couples marriage was arranged, the two have learned to love each other and have become devoted to the happiness of each other and their four children.

Fairlyn has made sure that her daughter understood her place since the day she was born. She has been taught of those before her and told of the small hold her family once ran and lived in. It was small, but self-sufficient and prosperous. But, time and sickness took its toll and the few remaining members were forced to move into Garnet Valley Hold and give up their holdings. Anreday has never felt the embarrassment her parents feel over such a loss, and she loves where she has spent her life and has accepted that she will most likely leave and marry one day not too far in the future.

Her younger siblings, all brothers, keep Anreday busy, since she often helps her mother care for them. She gets along with the three boys and loves them as much as any sister could. Growing up the oldest, has given Anreday a bit of matureness, not normal for her age and she prides herself in it.

Nothing too extraordinary has happened in Anreday's simple life, and she in content knowing that most likely, nothing ever will. She will marry, have her own family and care for her husband and children whenever that time comes. And yet, to herself, she sometimes wishes she could go to the Weyr, though she knows her parents would never allow that, she often daydreams about what it must be like.

Recently, her mother has announced that she is with child, much to the joy of both Anreday and her father.
