Appearance

Eyes: Warm brown, and almond shaped set beneath dark eyebrows that add to the expressiveness of her eyes. Especially talented at looking cross.

Hair: Darker auburn that looks brown in most lighting conditions, but bright sun brings out a reddish sheen. She keeps it cut short enough to help her pass as a man.

Height: 5'10"

General Appearance: Tall and lean, Cazan has a generally androgynous appearance accentuated by her short hair cut and her rather modest and easy enough to hide breasts. She has an athletic build from a combination of dedication to her craft and her inability to stay still for long. Her hands are rough though she tries to use balms to keep them from being too calloused. When she does put time into her appearance she can be rather feminine, but her chronic resting bitch face during those occasions tends to keep people away.

Dressing Style: Cazan has always enjoyed masculine attire, in addition to helping her achieve her goals, it just always felt right. She enjoys pants, fine button up shirts, dress jackets, decorative scarves, and hats when she's dressing up for herself. Usually she can be found in work clothing; sturdy pants, a well made shirt, vest, well worn long leather gloves, a belt with smaller tools, wool cap, and a small scarf that she uses to mop up sweat or wipe her hands. She has glued hair to her face in the past when her brother refused to shave, but she makes him help with that (or more frequently just makes him shave). She also shaves her face to remove any peach fuzz and small mustache hairs that would further differentiate herself from her brother.

Cazan is capable of wearing a dress, owns at least one nice one for dinner parties, but doesn't enjoy it and is always distant and quiet when forced to wear one for social occasions. To help distance herself from her brother's appearance on those occasions she tends to make an effort to appear even more feminine with makeup, jewelry, and finely crafted dress gloves that she made herself her brother made for her.

Personality

General Character Traits: Cazan has always been a tomboy with a self assured stubborn streak. She's determined and tenacious, clever enough to try and find unorthodox ways to achieve her goals, bold enough to give those plans a try, and sneaky enough to pull it off. She can get too caught up in her goals though, and is prone to tunnel vision, hyperfocusing on what she wants to the point that she forgets to take a break and relax and live a little. A workaholic as a result, she's abandoned thoughts of romance not because she isn't interested, but because she's more interested in her work for the moment.

She's friendly enough when she does manage to get her eyes off of work, and Cazan even has a habit of flirting with pretty girls while disguised as her brother to keep up appearances. If anything comes out of the flirting she just arranges a meeting time later and sends her brother out on a date. She enjoys feeling in control of her life, and while surprises and changes to her plans can irritate her, she is generally resilient and given more towards optimism than pessimism.

Habits/Mannerisms: Cazan cannot keep her hands still. When she's bored or thinking, she has a habit of spinning small tools across her fingers. When she doesn't have tools in hand she drums her fingers or picks up small objects without thinking to fiddle with them instead.

Opinions: These can be kept short and sweet; a sentence will suffice.
Threadfall Theory: She doesn't know enough about it to have an opinion really.
Stealing/Kidnapping: Well kidnapping people sounds awful, but she's glad that they've stopped.
Weryrleader S'kef: N/A
Firelizards: They're cute and interesting.
Women's loss of honourifics: What? Why? If a man can have an honourific she should be able to have one too, it's just a name.
Return North: Hopefully it's good for business.

[This section is optional]
Likes:
Freedom: Feeling in control of her own life.
Craftsmanship: Making things and the immense satisfaction and pride that brings.
Recognition: She adores the validation from receiving praise, but her favorite is when someone compliments her skills as herself and not as her brother.

Dislikes:
Stillness: Cazan hates holding still, there's so much she can be doing if she moves around, and if she's not moving she feels awkward and off balance.
Interruption: She dislikes distractions and being interrupted, when she's in a groove the last thing she wants is to leave before she's done. She will even forego sleep to finish something she's in the middle of.
Silly restrictions: Being told she cannot do something that she thinks she can do. It almost guarantees she will try to do it or at least think about how she could try and get away with it.

Strengths:
Quick Thinking: She's adaptable and quick on her feet after a lot of practice pretending to be her brother and having to cover for him and fill in gaps. When trouble is brewing she's usually able to nimbly maneuver her way through it and keep herself together up until she's alone.
Independent: Even though she enjoys and desires validation from others she's fine doing her own thing and is able to appreciate her work on her own merits.
Self confident: She is willing to take calculated risks, and doesn't tend to focus on fear and uncertainties (except when it comes to her personal life).

Flaws:
Workaholic: Cazan works to distract herself from everything, from how lonely she can be to how anxious she is about the thought of landing a husband and her life ending as she knows it. She doesn't know how to relax and feels lost and uncomfortable when she doesn't have a task to focus on.
Tunnel Vision: When she's focused she has a tendency to latch on and forget about other things going on around her. This happens to worries she fixates on and to tasks she's in the middle of. She frequently skips meals and has to snack at odd hours to make up for it if she's not pulled away from her work by someone at meal time.
Difficulty Delegating: If you want something done right you should do it yourself. Cazan gives herself so much extra work this way. She has difficulty trusting others to get stuff done to her satisfaction.
Proud: She has trouble asking for help or admitting when she's made a mistake in an area she feels she should be proficient in. Instead she tries to fix things on her own, or even scrapping a project and starting over.

Education Details: Cazan started out learning from and helping her twin brother while he was apprenticing. This quickly escalated, and she found herself dressing up in his clothes and attending classes in his place. She's managed to get him through his apprenticeship and considers herself the real journeyman even if it's attached to his name. She did rather well in tasks that required finer manual dexterity like tooling and stitching together finer pattern garments, as well as getting the mix right to tan especially supple leathers for that use. Cazan was considered slow with dye work though, because she was always especially careful to try and avoid staining her hands.

RP Sample

The trip had been awful, too long with nothing to do but ride, too long with her thoughts. By the time Cazan reached her destination she had even forgotten the details of the fight with her brother, only remembered the smug look on his face, his entirely too relaxed demeanor, and the fact that she'd threatened to ride out and find a job at Ista Weyr. Cazelarias would have to do his own work, and then he'd be sorry. Except he wouldn't; nothing would get done without her there. The thought had popped up rather frequently during her trip, and each time had been almost enough to make her turn back. No, she reminded herself firmly, give it a month or so. That or until mother sent someone after her. Father would be too busy to even notice she'd gone missing again, Cazonel would be occupied helping father, so that made her twin the most likely candidate to be sent off to fetch her back home (and likely meet some new nice young man her mother had found to introduce her too in hopes of finally marrying her off). Odds were good he'd just take it as an excuse to have a vacation while he waited for her to return on her own.

And she would return, but not before taking a look around the Weyr and maybe get to see a dragon up close while she was exploring the potential for work. Maybe she'd even like it enough to try and come back as herself to get a job. At the very least Cazan would be able to make some contacts, spread her brother's name and a good reputation for his goods out a bit further. She checked her outfit to ensure she still looked like her brother before she led her runnerbeast to the stables. The beast was secure, she had her pack containing a sampling of wares and some tools, she had the knot marking her as a journeyman leather worker set properly on her shoulder, now she just had to take a look around and find work. With that thought she finally gave Ista Weyr a proper look, a small amount of awe shining in her eyes as she took it all in.

Cazan shook her head as she refocused. There would be time to gawk like a tourist later, for now she set her goal on finding a friendly looking dragonrider to see if she could get a feel for the business opportunities. She shouldered her bag, took a look around, and spotted a likely rider to walk towards and try to flag over with a friendly wave.
