Appearance Thiadrye's mass of red hair would undoubtedly be the first thing most people notice about her. She prefers to wear at least some of it down most of the time, it is something for her to hide behind, or fiddle with when she's uncomfortable - however even when she tries to pull it back out of her face, strands escape. Green eyes and freckles fit with her pale colouring too.

Relatively short at only 5'3", Thiadrye was always shorter than her mother and sisters, which is a fact she's never entirely been comfortable with. In fact, when around her siblings she often felt like the odd one out - surrounded by reasonably tall blonde blue eyed siblings, it can be painfully obvious that they are all only her half siblings. It's given her a tendancy to dress in ways that avoid drawing anymore attention - simple styles and colours, which fit nicely (her craft has taught her that much), but otherwise don't cause people to take more then a passing look.

In keeping with her tendency to fiddle with her hair when it's loose, Thiadrye's nails are equally used as a stress relief. She would love it if she could grow long pretty girly nails, but more often or not they are chewed and untidy. Someone paying too much attention to her hands as such, makes her mildly uncomfortable (although, that said, someone paying much attention to any part of her makes her uncomfortable).
Personality A shy reserved individual, Thiadrye enjoys keeping her own council quietly at the edge of things. Watching, and listening, but not having to interact more then that unless she wants to. She isn't unfriendly, she actively enjoys spending time with friends and quite enjoys making new ones, however the key point around this being that she likes it to be a decision she has the opportunity to make. If she's surrounded by lots of people she can find it overwhelming, and if she has to be sociable for too long she finds it exhausting and draining.

Which is perhaps part of why she enjoys her craft as much as she does. While there is a requirement to interact with potential customers at times, much of her time can be spent working on her own - or with people that she chooses. If she can work with another crafter and leave the negotiations to someone else, even better. Prone to fidgeting and fiddling with things if she doesn't have anything to occupy her hands with, it is therefore common for Thiadrye to be seen with a small item she's working on to hand.

The small item she's making is invariably something made from wool or another spun fibres. She both knits and crochets, but these are usually the two areas she prefers not to accept work for if she can avoid it. These are what she does for fun, and she is wary of risking her enjoyment of it by putting demands and deadlines on it. There are however, wool based items she's made in all the wardrobes of her friends. She likes giving her projects away (not to mention, she knits and crochets far too much to keep it all for herself), and it's not uncommon for her to even give something she has made away to someone who's almost a stranger. If someone comments that they like something she's just finished, or something finished sat in her room, she'll offer the item without hesitation as long as she didn't have the item set aside for someone specific.

That said, Thiadrye is prone to self-doubt. If someone mentions they like something while it's nowhere near finished, Thiadrye will always remember who said it about what - however, by the time she has completed the item she has usually talked herself out of giving it to them... maybe they had just said they liked it in order to be polite? Especially if it was something a little unusual, or something she'd experimented with. Not naturally creative, Thiadrye is very good with following patterns, however she's not confident when it comes to doing something without at least a solid reliable base to work from. She's logical and methodical, and she loves studying things in order to copy them or do something slightly new based on them, but she's not happy building an item from scratch with no previous knowledge to start from.
