Pets: A runt of a herd dog named Scruff. It is a dirty yellow-brown with laughing gold eyes and a lean look to him, like he never has enough to eat.
Description:Nestren is the second-born son and third-born child of Minor holder Swakeal and his woman, Neteria. When you look at him, you wonder if he is wide enough to cast a shadow, being very lean. Though he eats like a new-born dragon, it is obvious that Nestren's engery level keeps from anything sticking to his bones. His complexion is one that is very tan from working the fields and helping take care of the herd beasts; his tanned face is sprinkled with darker freckles. Finding a mint that leaves his breath fresh, he has also realized it helps to keep the teeth white as well, so his smile is a bright one when given. Not only that, but his eyes are the colors of new shoots just broken through the ground. Never one for fancy clothes or anything to make a fuss about, Nestren wears a loose pair of leather pants and an open light brown vest. He feet are often bare, though he does own a pair of sandals. Around his wrists there are leather strings which he has learned to use when in a tight pinch. The hair on his head is short and spiky, a very light brown that goes to a lighter blonde during the summer months.
Personality: Nestren has never minded the fact that he has come from a small hold or a large family. He is quick to smile and even quicker to make a person smile when they are down and out. He loves his family dearly and has been in more than one scrap defending his siblings. Taking a liking to the outdoors, his father allowed him to help in the gardens and with the herd beasts. While in the gardens, Nestren took an interest in the different plants that went in his food and now would like to learn his way around the kitchens. He can be very focused and it is hard to pull him away from whatever he is interested in; likewise, once his mind is set on something, it is hard for him to change gears. Nestren will always see a project through, no matter how long it takes. As thin as he is, he does not mind the way his is ribbed-though he does hope to gain some meat on his bones as he grows older. It may seem like this young man may have nothing but a sunny personality, but no one is perfect. He hates to see violence and he hates the way Thread has a hold on the inhabitants of Pern. Deep down, he is almost desparate to Impress a dragon so that he may ease the worries of those not under the established holds.
History: There is not much to tell for one only fourteen turns. Nestren's history is one that is painted prettily. He was the third-born child and as soon as he had his legs under him, he was expected to find ways to help out in the hold. Quickly finding a niche in the gardens and also with the herdbeasts, Nestren would volunteer for any job that allowed him to be outside. Being a proud and protective older brother, he has gotten into his share of scraps to help out his younger siblings. However, one day a dragonrider stopped at the hold to rest for the night. Curiousity won out and Nestren ended up questioning the rider for most of the night about the weyr. The next morning, Nestren decided that would be the place for him. Speaking to his mother and father about it, they agreed to let him go...not really worried about missing his help. When the next group of traders came through, Nestren hopped on board and made his way to Rias Weyr. He arrived shortly before his fourteenth birthing day and has taken a deep interest in cooking. Once there, he bugged the Headwoman, Cidrey, to allow him to be her errand boy. In fact, he bugged her everyday for severl sevendays before she finally gave in. Since then, he has been off and running...literally. When not helping to feed the Weyr's inhabitants, he is experimenting with ways to make different dishes. Though, now that there are to be Eggs for Impression, Nestren has started hanging out in the Candidates rooms and near the sands.
Special: Nestren has learned the art of seasoning food and making pastries. He even has a small garden where he grows his own seasons so that everything will be fresh. The youth can also make friends with the most interesting beasts, really having no fear or any creature of Pern...just awe and wonder.
Journal Link: Hopefully coming soon
