THE PERSONALITY

PERSONALITY STRENGTHS:

Strong-willed - Safiya isn’t a girl to give up easily on something she wants and will pursue it till she gets it. This can be both a good and bad trait for her.
Passionate - Safiya is passionate about becoming a queen rider; whilst it is misguided passion she shows commitment to her chosen path; even though it’s the dragons who wants her that will dictate what she becomes.
Single-minded - When Safiya wants something or has to do something to get something she is incredibly single minded. She will devote ever ounce of her to that one task; even though she won’t always succeed with what she has chosen to do.

PERSONALITY WEAKNESSES:

Vain - Looks and image mean everything to her; she will not allow herself to be seen if she isn’t fully dressed and feeling completely presentable. If she isn’t feeling it she won’t let anyone see her; she also prefers more expensive clothing and gets very upset if someone ruins them.
Naive - Safiya doesn’t have a very good understanding of the world beyond herself and her own selfish wants and desires. Thus she often will believe what people tell her; as she she is convinced she will become a queen rider.
Conceited - Arrogant; Airy and out of reach; Safiya will only consort with those of rank. She isn’t like the other girls after all; she is special. Thus she views everyone as below her and only those bronzeriders who spoil her as those who she deserves to be nice to.

OVERALL PERSONALITY: Easily swayed to believe the opinions of those around her; Safiya has been blindly lead to believe that she will impress gold; and that it doesn’t matter that the dragon chooses because she will be a queen rider. Her naive attitude has her easily believing this and will often have her in the middle of arguments with those she finds beneath her. She is conceited and has no issues ordering everyone else around. She is spoilt and has always gotten her own why; so why should life be any different for her now. Looks are everything to her and she is incredibly shallow when it comes to judging people. She is also very single-minded and one task orientated leaving her to often leave work for others to do because it will take so much effort for her to do one small task.

OVERALL HISTORY: Safiya was the gem of her parents eyes; from the moment she was born; their very first girl after 3 boys; Safiya was loved. She was spoilt and doted upon by everyone; leaving her to believe she could always get what she wanted which she always did. She was given the bare minimum of lessons; enough that she could read; write and figure well enough but never much more. A woman didn’t need to be educated so after all. Being a Lord Holders daughter Safiya was doted on and greatly cherish; even more so considering that her father was a very close friend to R’gan the Weyrleader or Torval Weyr. By being in such good relations; they had no qualms in handing their 16 turn old daughter to a bronze rider who came on search; after all he said she would be a queenrider and who were they to deprive a sweet little gold of their daughter, especially since they knew that Torval had no living Weyrwoman. Their daughter would be loved and spoilt by everyone then if she was a queenrider; thus her equally vain and naive parents eagerly let her go into the bronzeriders care. Never officially searched; in fact was turned down by a blue search dragon, Safiya continues to believe that she will impress gold; despite the fact she is allowed to stand merely based upon her looks.
