Name:
Karlin
Gender:
Female
Age:
19
Pets:
None
Hall:
East Cliff Dolphin Hall
Rank:
Journeyman
Height:
5'3"
Hair Colour:
Dark brown
Eye Colour:
Brown
Appearance:
Standing at 5'5", she is about average in both size and build. Dark brown hair is cut short to allow it to dry faster after spending time with the dolphins and the bangs that once covered her brown eyes have grown out to match the rest. Her wardrobe seems mostly picked with the consideration that the sea mammals enjoy splashing humans: her pants tend to be short and her shirts sleeveless.
Personality:
She tends to be rather reticent, preferring to quietly watch others than to join into a conversation herself. However, she is a firm believer in efficiency and will readily jump in if she thinks she can help get a task accomplished in a more efficient manner. The most common deviation from this is her attitude around the dolphins, especially Dem, and people she does make friends with. In such situations, she seems more comfortable and quickly becomes talkative. The other exception would be when she appears to have what can only be described as a mood swing: every once in a while she seems to suddenly develop a social side and has no problem approaching and chatting with those she doesn't know well.
History:
A child of two dolphineers, she grew up in the Hall. As a child, she showed a large interest in the sea mammals, often trying to sneak amongst the apprentices for a chance to get near them. This unrelenting enthusiasm led to her becoming an apprentice as soon as she was old enough. As an apprentice she first showed her odd personality shifts when she would attempt to skip out on chores to go talk to the dolphins. However, that behavior was quickly curtailed when someone got the idea to tell her that she couldn't walk the tables if she didn't act responsibly. She still spent as much time as possible with the dolphins and had befriended one in particular, who became her partner.
Dolphin:
Name:
Dem
Gender:
Female
Turns:
17
Markings:
Her dark gray hide shows no birth markings, but, like many other dolphins, she can be identified by her scars. One runs diagonally along her right flipper, while others mark her left side between the flipper and her eye.
Personality:
Unlike her partner, she is talkative, social, and playful. Like most dolphins, she prefers games to work, just as Karlin did during childhood. She tends to show signs of recklessness, often resulting in injuries -- for some reason, almost always on her left side. However, despite all this, she still manages to work well with Karlin's altered temperament -- that is, the girl's change towards a preference for efficiency. Something about her usually-cheerful partner's focus on accomplishing a task manages to inspire some hidden motivation in the dolphin.
