Character Profile
Name: Codi Varennikov
Age: 19, born November 13, 1992
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Rank: Dragon Candidate
Weyr: Rocky
Appearance: By no means tall, Codi only stands at 5'1". Her eyes are a pale blue, almost gray, but her gaze is closed off. It's not necessarily cold, but she is very picky of who she opens up to. She used to have rich strawberry blonde hair, but she now dyes it silver. She usually wears skinny jeans and button up long sleeves instead of the hoodies like most teenagers like to wear. Her one trademark item, other than her silver hair, is a black choker that was given to her by an old friend.
Picture:
Base Personality: Reserved and shy, Codi is quite intelligent. It just takes a lot of her warming up to someone for her to feel comfortable enough to show it. Instead, she normally acts confrontational and brusque to prevent people getting close. Because if no one is close to her, she can't get hurt by them, right?
History: Codi was always the ghost in the room, the invisible person who hides in a corner. Her parents always encouraged her to step out of her comfort zone, but every time she would, the only people to really take notice were the bullies. Her brother would do what he could to keep her safe, and sane, but they would always find ways to poke jibes at her.
By the time she was done with high school, she had come to believe their cruel remarks of her uselessness, her ugliness, her general waste of space.
It wasn't long after she started high school that her brother found an odd nest, the eggs covered in sand and the parents completely absent. He brought only one of the several eggs home, not sure what they held. A couple hours later, he and Codi found out. It was a dragon-looking creature, but at the same time, they knew it was not a dragon. Because dragons couldn't exist, right?
Well, apparently they could. At least the little creature couldn't manifest flame on its own, because it soon discovered that it loved fire. A couple knocked over candles later and an incident involving a bonfire, they learned to keep the critter away from fire, and to keep fire out of the house to avoid any further problems.
And the dragon-critter remained their little secret until the May Codi was supposed to graduate. Then, another dragon, many times larger than Coffee, as they had come to name the creamy brown creature, and on the other dragon's back was a person. He introduced himself as a Searchrider from a place called Pern, and at first offered the invitation to go with him only to her brother. When her brother adamantly informed the man with the dragon that he wouldn't be going anywhere, Codi piped up.
Codi and Viktor argued for a couple minutes about her going with the man, then he offered that they both could go. They discussed it a bit, then decided to go. Codi wanted to take their four-year-old German Shepherd and her two snakes with them, but the rider refused that idea.
So they went to High Reaches Weyr and stood at several clutches, but neither of them Impressed. Then word came to Pern about the dire need for candidates after a Pernese Queen, now gone between left a clutch on Rocky sands and depleted the candidate resources. Codi volunteered, but Viktor was reluctant to leave. But she talked her brother into coming back after one of the hardening clutches hatched, if he didn't Impress a healthy dragonet anyway.
