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.
