Character[/b]
Name:Beretta ((also goes by Beret))
Age:16
Gender:Female
Rank:Candidate/ Apprentice FisherCraft
Mutated?(If so what is their ability):No
Location:Skysong Weyr
Appearance:
Beretta could easily be mistaken for a boy if she wore baggy enough clothes to hide her female figure. Short cropped dark brunette hair with pale blue eyes and a strong frame for a girl, she has no trouble making her way on a fishing vessel. She stands at 5'8" and have olive skin that doesn't burn, but only gets darker in the sun.
Beretta is usually wearing heavy clothing and chest bindings underneath to hide that she was a girl on the fishing vessel and went by the name Beret. At the Weyr she likes to dress more comfortably since being of the opposite gender can't hurt her there.
Personality:
Beretta is a very level-headed girl and it takes a lot to rile her up. She had to get an even-head in order to last on a all men boat. She loyal and resourceful girl who can think on her feet when the time arrives.
She does however have a problem with dealing with her own peers. Forced to make a living for herself at such a young age, Beretta's childhood was cut short and she envies those who could actually enjoy just being a kid.
She has an aversion to the opposite sex due to her experience on the latest sailing she had. Men getting too friendly with her make her nervous and she never allows herself be cornered alone with one. It's not just that she's afraid what they might do to her. She's also afraid what she might do to them if something like what happen on the White Wash happened again.
Overall Beretta is a confident and kind girl, who was forced to become mature too quickly and now comes off as a gruff and silent girl. Once she opens up she's a jovial girl who would love to tell you tales of the sea life.
History:
Beretta grew up in a small Fisher Hold in the South and her father struggled to make enough to feed his family. The strain got so great by the age of 13, Beretta was sent to be an apprentice and the rest of her sisters were foster out. It wasn't that girls were not allowed to be part of FisherCraft, but most were expected to stay on shore. The reasoning behind this was men on a boat that's been out to sea for several weeks can drive them to stupid things. Mostly it is not a place for young girls to be.
Wanting to live in her father's footsteps, Beretta signed up to be an apprentice Fisherwoman and sail the vast oceans. Yet she knew of the dangers of the life at sea for a woman and dressed as a male to keep lustful eyes away from her. It worked for two turns and the only people who knew of her secret were the captains.
It was when she was on the ship White Wash that she learned that her disguise was compromised. A man by the name Crolesy, who discovered that Beret was actually Beretta. In the middle of the night the 38 turn old man coaxed Beretta with a note describing that he knew her secret and to met him at the port side of the ship. She decided to met the man in hopes of dissuading him of revealing her identity on the ship. She knew the man was probably going to black mail her or else why send a letter like this.
To her horror the man did want to blackmail her, but he did not want her to pay in marks. He want her body. After refusing out right Crolesy attacked and was trying to force himself on her. This was the first time Beretta truly panic and just flailed about trying anything to get him to stop. She manage to kick him off and grabbed a bit of loose rigging on the ship's deck. Before she even realized what she was doing, the girl smashed the metal piece against the man's temple. She could already see Crolesy's eyes roll back and blood was left on the rigging bit. He slumped over the railing and fell into the sea.
Beretta knew she should over called man over board. She knew should of raised alarm, but she kept her mouth shut. She flung the bloody piece off into the sea and immediately went below to cry silently to herself. She remained in the healer's cabin for the remainder of the trip, saying she felt too ill to work.
The crew did notice that Crolesy was gone, but since the man was a drunkard and had a habit of hanging around the top decks at night it was concluded that he must of fallen overboard in the middle of the night. They had checked to see if there was any dolphin rescues by any of the local holds, but there was none. Dolphins weren't constantly around ships and the night was fair so there was no need for them to be.
Beretta remained in a small Fishing Hold's infirmary as she tried to come to grips with the fact that she actually killed a man. It was around this time that Searchriders from Skysong Weyr came on came to look for candidates. To her surprise she was chosen and had to pack her things for the Weyr. Perhaps this was what she needed to get a fresh start on life and where she can truly be herself.
