E-Mail Address: [email protected]
AIM/MSN/ICQ: KatieHal16 (aim)
Other Weyrs/Clubs: Odyssey Weyr
Name/Nicknames: Peregrine Jerrica Oates (Perry)
Gender: female
Rank/Position: legist & rider of brown Tranith
Age: 29
Birthplace: First Centauri
Physical Description: Perry has sort golden-brown hair
that�s got lovely volume and body to it and falls to
her mid-back. A slim figure, with curves but small
ones; very fit as she is rigorous about keeping in
shape, she loves to run, ride on horseback and swim.
Her eyes are a hazel, round and sparkling, but hidden
behind with wire-rim spectacles she wears. Her skin is
smooth and tanned evenly. She stands at about 5�7� and
weighs 135, firmly packed in muscle. For all that
Perry could be stunning, she dresses conservatively
and is a bit of a �hidden beauty.�
Personality: Meticulous to the last drop. Everything
about Perry is ordered, straightforward and
business-like. Formal to everyone, respectful, never
loses her temper, but makes her retorts and rebuttals
with facts. It�s hard to find a crack in her
well-researched cases, but if one does and it�s legit,
she will admit to being wrong and move on. Very little
hangs on her conscience. Some people can be put off by
her seemingly cold demeanor, but she is very
reasonable, and reason-driven. Fascinated by the
facets of human psychology, sociology, law, history �
she wants to know everything. Constantly reading,
researching and taking things to memory (she has a
nearly-photographic memory). Respectful and so forth.
Background: Born at First Centauri, Perry was always
very reasonable and formal. She grew up always wanting
to study, learn, know more. She excelled at school,
was fascinated by everything fact- and human-driven.
People and society were amazing to her, and she always
wanted to learn more about them. But she also found
she had a very strict sense of �rules are there for a
reason.� And so it was natural that she developed an
early interest in law, and planned always to study
that. She graduated early from undergraduate, and
entered law school at 19. Shortly thereafter, she
heard of the Pern expedition, and after some thought,
signed up, planning to continue her studies there. A
new world, entirely? It would need laws, those who
knew them, and like everything else, would be
fascinating. Off she went to explore and learn and
help found a new world.
Upon arriving, she did continue her studies of what
would be the new legal system of Pern, and by 25 was a
full-fledged Legist in her own right. She went with
the group who founded Araby Hold, living there and
helping to set up the society and its rules,
deliberating on cases when needed and so forth. With
the announcement of the Dragon Project, she again
became fascinated, but had work to do at Araby.
Finally, after hearing of the surprising first
Hatching, she moved to New Landing and applied to be a
candidate. The Project was having some issues and
disagreements involving contracts that had been signed
and so forth. Perry was eager to help in that domain,
as well as possibly have one of these creatures of her
own to learn from and study.
Family/Friends:
She was the only one in her family to come to Pern, so
really no one.
Hobbies & Skills: research, legal system, history,
facts, facts and more facts! Also a good runner and
swimmer, rather athletic.
Pets: none

brown; still growing size-wise.

straightforward and practical, not suffering from some
of the more excitable tendencies seen in the first
clutch's browns.
