Name: Arnais (ar-NAY)

Age: 37

Location: SRH-DH

Craft: Beasthealer specializing in Dolphins

Rank: Sr. Journeywoman


Brief Physical Description:


  • Arnais has a body born to swim.  Tall, lean, athletic.  Her hair would be a 
dark blonde if the sun and salt over the years had not bleached it white in 
most strands.  Her skin is deeply tanned and weathered.  Freckles cover her 
nose, cheeks and shoulders.  Her blue eyes are slightly creased with crows 
feet that only show when she smiles or squints out to sea.  IN a few more 
years they will show with age.


  • Levelheaded and cool, Arnais thrives under pressure.  It's when the pressure 
is over and she's alone that the after effects hit her.  Always one to get 
what she starts finished, the dolphin healer never lets a job go undone.  
She insists on the same dedication and hard work from those around her.  
Once the job is done, however, Arnais relaxes to the fullest.  If she 
doesn't have to do anything she won't.  She'd prefer to lounge on a beach 
with a fruity drink or take a rare trip over the Dragon's Lair.


    Brief History:


    A normal life of a child born to a beasthealer and a dolphineer was what 
Arnais was lived. Swimming as soon as she could crawl, the Southern-born 
native was a shoe-in to become a dolphineer.  As she got older though, her 
father's genes kicked in and she showed an affinity towards healing sick and 
injured animals.  When time came to apprentice, Arnais happily went to the 
Beastcraft Hall.  Once there, the sea-loving girl missed her mother and the 
partnered Dolphin.  Nearing her Journeyman's knots, Arnais went home to 
visit before walking the tables.  She wasn't sure where she'd be posted so 
she had decided to take another visit and bid everyone a farewell.
    

During her stay at the Dolphin Hall with her family, Arnais was called upon 
in an emergency.  Pak, the dolphin who partnered with her mother had been 
injured.  With her father away on another case, Arnais was the only 
beasthealer available.  During the hectic scenario, Arnais showed a steady 
hand while she sewed up Pak's wounds and administered medication to both 
dolphin and dolphineer.

At the end of the day, and several stiff drinks, Arnais decided she had 
found her calling.  To become a specialized beast healer.  A dolphinhealer.
    

Upon her return to the Beasthealer Hall, Arnais proposed her specialization 
to the Hallmaster.  Always a forward thinking man, the Hallmaster agreed.  
It took several more years for Arnais to gain her Junior JOurneywoman's 
knots due to her specialization, but she felt it was worth every moment.  
She didn't gain her Senior Knots until the age of thirty, but she was 
quickly recognized as one of the most sought after beasthealers on Pern.  
She travelled both continents for seven more Turns before asking for a 
permanent placement.
    

Arnais and her family are quite happy with her permanent assignment to 
Sandstone River Hold.
