Right then! Let's get started!
Celebrity/Canon Claim: Troian Bellisario
What's your name? Lanayril "Lana" Byrd (Lah-nayr-rhil)
How old are you? I'm nineteen years old.
Are you a boy or a girl? Last time I checked, female.
Do you have a tribe? I have none.
Do you have any dragons? I have no dragon, though while they frighten me, I would be open to the idea of befriending one.
I'm afraid I lost my eyesight long ago. What do you look like?
I have long brown hair that almost looks like it has faded over time. I usually wear it up in a bun, or some other way that keeps it out of my face so it doesn't interfere with whatever I'm doing. My skin is fairly tan, working out on a farm has initially made it that was but I've gone a bit pale again during my time as a stowaway. My eyes are hazel in color, making them contrast against my dull colored hair and face. My face has two freckles on my left cheek but is completely void of scratches, but I have a faint scar across from right arm that came from trying to wrangle a Terrible Terror out of the house. I usually wear a short sleeve green shirt and a thin brown vest. I wear dark brown pants and black boots usually covered in a light layer of mud. Under my vest I keep a dagger, which isn't very useful in any sort of fight, but good for other tasks. I've never learned to use a sword or an axe, so I don't carry one around.
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
I like to think of myself as a nice and friendly person. I don't like responsibility or being put in charge, but that doesn't mean I won't stand up for myself or my friends. In most cases I prefer not to fight, which is a rather un-viking like trait to have. I do tend to be a bit shy when surrounded by people I don't know, but I'm not against meeting new people. I hate to admit it, but I'm pretty easy to manipulate if threatened or cornered. Dragons tend to scare me, at least the larger ones, but I don't think all of them are out to ruin people's lives. I'm usually pretty level-headed and open-minded, but I'm prone to making bad decisions when upset or angry.
Where do you come from?
I grew up on a small farm on an island I've since forgotten its location. The farm was mainly crops with a few sheep and goats. I was the youngest of three sisters, which meant right off the bat I was a disappointment for being just another girl. In many places, including my home village, having a son was almost as important as having a home and a farm. My parents never troubled me with this though, it's not as if it was my fault for being born female. Along with that our village was constantly under raids from dragons, though "raids" was never really the proper term for it. We always lacked the proper amount of vikings to defend our land, and so the dragons took whatever they wanted.
When I was eighteen, our family fell on some pretty hard times. My mother became deathly ill, and so was unable to work around the farm. At the same time, my father injured his leg while trying to fend off a dragon from our last goat. My sisters and I were left to take care of the homestead almost entirely by ourselves. It was hard, but for a while we managed to get by. Then, my mother passed away shortly after I turned nineteen. The rest of my small family became distant, and soon we were at the risk of losing our home. I was scared, and in a moment of rash thinking and a clouded mind, I ran away. Trade ships had been docked for a few days, and I managed to stow away on one. At the time I did not know of the ship's destination, but from the conversations I had overheard and the information I'd gathered, it would appear that my ship is soon to dock on an island named Berk.
What's your main goal? I want to find a place to belong, and be useful. Maybe make a difference in someone's life, be it human or dragon.
What are you good at? I'm good at critical thinking and finding new solutions to a problem. I'm typically good at finding non-violent solutions to many problems.
What sort of things do you dislike? I don't like feeling helpless or small. I'm not strong physically, and I don't like being reminded of this.
Is there anything else you want to tell me? Nope.
