Name: Katie
E-mail: [email protected]
AIM: KatieHal16
Other Clubs: Odyssey
Name: Sharon Cole, but her nickname is Ronnie
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Position: Computer Technition
Birthplace: Terra
Appearance: She naturally has blonde hair like the
rest of her family, but has taken to experimenting
with dyes on Pern, so it is currently a dark red and cut to just around her chin with a few layers and is a bit more flattering than the purple-burgundy it used to be. Her eyes, like all the
Coles, are bright green. Ronnie is reasonably tall for
a woman at 5�9�, and pretty thin from her odd eating
habits. She just might be one of the few people on
Pern with a nose piercing, a tiny stud in her left
nostril. Her clothing is often themed with darker
colors, but most often she wears jeans if she can.
Almost never seen in a dress.
Personality: Sarcasm, sarcasm, sarcasm. Ronnie�s
method of dealing with pain and insecurity is her
biting sarcastic humor. Witty, intelligent, friendly
enough, she seems outwardly to be just fine if with
some cynical overtones to her personality. In reality,
Ronnie�s got deep wounds from recent years, and she is
covering them as best she can, which is rather well.
Really only her family has noticed and worries about
her as she withdraws from them more and more. Ronnie
is what we may called a punk girl or a goth girl, and
she currently has a rather destructive personality
that could even border on suicidal if it gets much
worse. Her escape is working and writing music. She
hates stupidity, foolishness, people who are slow to
grasp concepts, and people who try telling her what to
do. A rebellious teen who�s a bit old for such antics,
this is Ronnie today. However, she is very intelligent
and gifted with computers, a go-to girl who can get
just about anything done with the systems, if you can
take her impatience and occasional temper with a grain
of salt. Or five.
History: Ronnie was never keen on the idea of leaving
Earth, but she was only 9 and much of it didn�t makesense to her and the rest of the fears were calmed.
It seemed good enough when she got there, but she
never really took to much of it, she wasn�t an
outdoorsy girl. So she began getting into the
technology that remained, the computers, and also
began getting into music more and more. Not nice
friendly music, either, but darker, louder and harsher
music. Well, as harsh as it gets on Pern, since they
lack electric guitars. But she learned the acoustic
guitar and how to make that sounds as dark as she
could, and eventually met two others who shared
interest in this vein of music, one who drummed, Leia
Shores, and one played piano, Nia Stamos. They formed
a group at about 15 and though they never played for
anyone, they did play a lot together and bonded very
closely. By 17, the group was an odd mix of
music-lovers and lovers, and the three experimented
together sexually quite a bit and it all was very
natural to them. But they were young yet, and both
Nia�s and Leia�s families went North, taking the girls
with them. Ronnie was left behind with her own family,
who knew nothing of her bisexual nature, little of her
musical passion, and only had glimpses of the
depression that already plagued their daughter. It�s
rather unexplained, there is little history in the
family of depression, but it has certainly landed on
Ronnie. A year after losing her best friends/lovers,
Mark�s death came and he had been just about the most
balanced and mellow member of the family, and one whom
Ronnie was beginning to confide in. With his death,
she is pulling further and further away from those she
once felt close to and those she loves. It seems like
they always just end up going away, being lost, or
dying. She's been getting a bit better of late, what with her brother David's constant attempts to help improve her lifestyle and he managed to get her a firelizard, a brown whom she's named Graham.
