Liandra
Name: Liandra
Pronunciation: Lee - Ann - Drah
Age: Six turns
Season Born In:
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Unknown
Pansexual
Appearance:
Liandra will always be little for her age, she's smaller than most children and always seems thin, pale and tired. The stress of trying to be perfect wears quickly on a young child, and that shows clearly in the dark shadows under her bright blue eyes. She's a cute little thing though, with the lines and structure that will grant her that same sweetness in years to come as she grows into that slight pudginess around her cheeks that even her thinness can't hide.
She's fair skinned, with just the slightest hint of freckles across her nose and cheeks, and coupled with long, dark, straight hair, it makes the pallor of her skin that much more obvious. SHe's almost always hiding behind a curtain of her hair, trying not to make eye contact with anyone to avoid getting called on in any classes. She favours pretty things - mostly her parents influence - white, pale colours that won't stand out and delicate and pretty just like a little girl should dress.
Personality:
Thanks to her parents, there's never been a quieter six turn old. Liandra hates to talk, knowing her stuttering words will just make her a target for sharp glances from her parents and reminders to speak up, Liandra. She's almost a self proclaimed mute, and loathes attention being placed on her in a normal sense. She just can't talk the same way others can, and for some reason that makes her a bit of a target for comments and whatever else. She's extremely shy, prone to flushing various colours of pink and red when people try to make eye contact with her, usually stammering out an excuse before running away to hide.
This all changes when she gets a chance to sing. Music is a love of Liandra's that will forever have her coming out of the woodwork. She has an amazing voice, for someone so young and she seems to only be getting better when it comes to musical talents as she gets that little bit older. But she's ashamed of her love of music, knowing her parents feel strongly against it. She's not the type to take the spotlight though, it's something that has to be thrust upon her firmly - considering it never happens in her family. She's not Lucas. She's not the perfect one, and that's all she's ever been told for as long as she can remember. Liandra is very much a wall flower. She's not sure how to respond to people wanting her attention, or to talk to her, because that shadow of her big brother's is just so suffocating. Most of the time, Lia doesn't even exist to her parents most of the time, unless it's to complain.
She's always had a slightly older view of the world. Her parents never sheltered her from all the gory details of life (she knew where babies came from at the age of five), and as such, Lia doesn't have the same innocence of most children her age, though there is certainly a strong degree of it existing despite that. Having avoided people most of her life, Liandra tends to take people at face value, and likely always will for she's still a passive little thing. There might be that sense of her wanting to fight back, but she can't. She's not a fighter, she's always been told to stay down and stay quiet and as such, that's what she does, rarely offering her own opinion or going her own way even when she wants to.
Family: Isandra - Mother - Journeywoman Healer
Lorat - Father - Healer
Lucas - Older Brother - 21 - Journeyman Healer
Location: Trelis
Rank: Weyrbrat
History:
Liandra was born in Apolla Weyr six turns ago to the two Healers stationed there. Little did they know at the time that their daughter was going to be born with a stutter. Now most people wouldn’t be bothered by such a thing, but these two Healers wanted perfection, and a daughter that couldn’t talk right wasn’t perfect. One of Isandra’s favorite things to say was, “Speak up Liandra.” And the woman wasn’t at all kind about it.
Isandra really does love her daughter, but appearances are everything. How can she convince anyone that she would be the perfect choice for Master Healer if she can’t even heal her own daughters stutter? But as Lorat says, “At least no-one will have to know as long as the girl doesn’t speak.” Now, to most people that would be harsh, but for these two parents, it’s the only way. After all, they have the perfect Lucas to concentrate on, why bother with the flawed child they have? Most of the time, they simply ignored the girl and failed to mention her to others until the shadow of her older brother was all she knew. Unless she was singing. That was something she could do and feel special, but almost immediately her parents stomped on that too. Such a useless and frivolous activity would not be tolerated, no matter how normal their child was - finally - when she sang without a hint of a stutter.
Only time will tell if young Liandra will grow out of her stuttering, but maybe there are some people in Trelis Weyr that would be able to help her get used to the way she is. Only one way to find out. When Lucas was searched for the Weyr, her parents reluctantly allowed her to go with him, hoping maybe one of the healers there would be able to fix the little girl, or at least she wouldn't be hanging around being embarrassing.

He is a very loyal flit, and wouldn’t do anything that would harm Liandra in any way shape or form, but if he does make a mistake, he will be very contrite, and very upset with himself until His distracts him.
