Persona Profile: Sirela (Inactive)

Writer: Bree

Name: Sirela
Age: 33
Birthday: m10 d4
Rank: Hold Resident
Location: Elsewhere on Pern
Job: Seamstress

Physical Description of Persona:
Sirela is a very petite woman, not just short but delicate as well, with wide brown eyes and a spattering of freckles across her nose that gives her an innocent look. Her dark hair is very curly and brushes her shoulders, though she spends very little time fussing with it, perfering to keep it pinned out of her face with a pair of barettes. Always modest in dress, Sirela prefers simple skirts and blouses in soft colors with very little adornment. Everything about her is gentle and quiet, which only makes her rare sparks of temper that much more unexpected.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Although once a cheerful and friendly young woman, Sirela has become withdrawn and quiet. The shock of losing her husband and her father shortly before giving birth to her first child has left her emotionally devestated. Although she tries to present a strong face to the rest of the Hold, she is prone to fits of depression and anger, and can't always keep them private.

History of Persona:
Born to a miner and his seamstress wife, Sirela grew up at Garnet Valley Hold, finding a nitch for herself as a young woman thanks to her skill with a needle taught to her by her mother. Her mother's death when she was fifteen shifted a fair bit of the burden of her work to Sirela, but she proved capable at alterations and mending.

When she was seventeen Sirela's father introduced to a young journeyman miner named Geridon. Though he was nearly ten turns her senior, the two got along every bit as well as her father could have hoped, and shortly before her eighteenth birthingday they were married. There were some concerns when it took several turns for Sirela to become pregnant, but the healers declared her healthy, and Geridon was ecstatic.

Near the end of her first pregnancy, tragedy struck when Sirela's father and husband were both caught in a cave-in at the mine. In shock, Sirela spent days trying to convince herself that they couldn't possibly have died, but when she finally gave birth to her daughter, she gave up hope.
