Physical Description: Karinne is a thicky built woman who has clearly handled heavy things all her life, though her hands are exceedingly delicate considering. She has thick auburn hair and pale amber eyes on a round face with thin lips, a slightly wide nose, and heavy-lidded eyes.
Personality: It is easy to forget about Karinne. There is an absolute plainness about the woman that doesn't lean too far in either direction - her vices seem to really only affect herself and her goodness doesn't reach so far that one could define her as more than simply decent. She is helpful, but not to the point where she's chomping at the bit to do it. She is diligent, but you wouldn't notice it unless she was to stop whatever task she was set to. Content to fade into the background, she is happiest when busy.
It is hard to get under Karinne's skin. She is assured of her worth despite the lack of impression she leaves on others and as she doesn't seek validation from others, she is not easy to manipulate. Unfortunately, that can make it difficult to set Karinne to a task she doesn't want to do on her own even if the intentions are good. She does good and works hard because she
wants to, and such things are defined solely by herself. Even threats of punishment don't do the trick.
Because of her lack of presence and independence, Karinne doesn't have much of a social impact and at times it is hard to capture her in the actual here and now, leaving her socially uneloquent and endlessly frustrating to be around for many people. She will always keep a very select group of friends, though it is hard to say who will stick around in the long term.
Positive Trait List Hardworking, Self Motivated, Surehearted

History: Where Karinne came from before she came into the home of a pair of Woodcrafters is anybody's guess. From a single glance at either man, it was -and still is - obvious she was neither of theirs biologically, and the girl never cared to ask. She was loved, and she was happy to be under both of their feet and have her hands all over their work. Kanrin was a studious maker of furniture, and his husband, Narie, was a capable woodworker at the crafthall in Lemos, processing wood brought in so it could be worked by gentler, more skilled hands.
Karinne, never a bother, suffered little drama in her life. A teenage heartbreak here, an occasional argument with one of her fathers there, but otherwise the most that could have been said about her was that she was exceedingly plain. So plain, in fact, most considered her unnotable until she was Searched at the age of 20 by Benden Weyr.
From there, it would be more of a surprise when the young woman impressed a sturdy blue with perhaps a bit more personality on the surface than she had. The lack of structure beyond the very basics soon had both girl and dragon both at the hold of Karinne's childhood, even if it wasn't much better than Benden in Hrimnith's opinion.
The two were delivering a piece made by Kanrin to Western Weyr when First Fall began, and it was a quick and easy decision for both to make their trip home a quick one - one for goodbyes, to gather up some things, and to permanently settle to a proper cause.
