Powers	Anti-Rumple - Cool/Mouth goes to 6 if lower, and 7 if already six, messy attacks and situations are only half likely to succeed, they're just too cool to get dirty, and they are always lookin' good. You'd be surprised at how often a search rider gets into scrapes or has to confront an angry parent. She's chill and measured when things go poorly Professional Whiner - add +1 to skills using RWP and +2 to those using Cool/Mouth, excellent at Debate class in addition; she's used to the discussions between merchants, haggling with customers, debating with each other about what rules and regulations to invent that govern their trades. She doesn't prefer these interactions, mind you, just is quite well versed and uses that experience to her benefit in classes or on Search Dragon's abilities - as below. She's keenly aware of where her dragon is, and together they are a dashing team!
Clusters 18	Search Rider +3 Jennize can look over a group of people and tell instantly which of them either has experience with dragons, or should be heading to a Weyr. Not so much if they aren't capable, but when they are, she 'knows it'. This is uniformly confirmed by Zalzith's refined nose! Now, this doesn't always work out for the potential riders, and that's where her other skills tend to come in handy. But she first and foremost is concerned with getting dragons their right partners, and is sometimes dismayed at those who don't 'want' one Scuffles and Scrapes +3 As any rider from the Old World might attest, some of them really do enjoy getting into fights or tough spots over and over. She's not actively searching for a fight but sometimes they just ... find her. She lives up to the expectation, however, and even with a "delicate little purple dragon like that" will usually leave an opponent flat on his ass in the dust from a good punch to the gut, or with their friends laughing at a lordling from her pointed jibes
Skills 22	Dragon Pair Perfected +5 That tiny dragon knows how to ride larger dragons, so you know. That's mostly because the bond between Jennize and Zalzith is so snug that at times it's hard to tell them apart even with telepathy. They act as each others eyes and ears, chatting constantly about distances, types of people, other dragons, how nice it is to stretch out after a long day in classrooms... You name it. Jennize feels every itch or twinge, Zalzith knows who is bothering her rider and why they don't just take it outside. Any and all riding skill they've ever tried is learned almost twice as quickly as other pairs, and all forms of in flight motion seem to blur the differences between them even further, with Jennize laying low over the dragon's neck and almost flying with her own wings Diplomatic Until She's Not +3 You'll eventually reach a point where poking this hornets' nest is unwise. She will give plenty of warning, and anyone with half a brain will spot the signs of having crossed any of her very-distinct lines. You don't flirt with her, unless you're also going to flirt with her dragon or have a dragon to do that for you. You don't ever want to insinuate that her merchant mother was 'less' adept than your lordling's cousin who once bartered a good price for a runner. And you do not get between a searched potential rider, and their future... She will put all of this into words first. But if she has to raise fists, she absolutely will do so with precision and speed, she wants a fight over, decisively, that is how she rolls Let The Dragon Decide +3 As above, if you are going to flirt, you need to be prepared for the results. She won't prefer to become a parent, but if there's a mating flight her dragon is participating in or instigating herself, the partner of the dragon she chooses will absolutely be the partner that Jennize wants at least for the duration. So leave your phobias at the door please, she intends to love with all hear heart while there's dragon-mind controlling her. On the other hand she does know that this will freak some people out, and as above she'll tell you if there's going to be an issue. Also notably Zalzith doesn't just throw in with any old group of males, she'll be picky and choose the right one, so hopefull that right dragon will also have a good rider with a good soul. Though Jennize isn't particularly romantic or horny, she is definitely aware of the moods of her little dragon, and won't try to control those, but give a heads up please!
Knacks 6	Odd Jobs +3 Brought up among a variety of crafters, merchants, trade caravans, lords and ladies doing their shopping, and drudges carrying out their masters wishes, Jennize can pick up and heft goods off a trailer truck, organize a search party, haggle and trade, do a little sewing and cleanup for that party, you name it. She's adept at knowing who needs the most help, asking what they need in a manner that they'll understand she's not trying to horn in, and aid them as best she can. When there's no search needed or it's done but there's time to kill at a weyr, hold, or school event, she'll help out! Sometimes even for pay! Surprisingly Good With Modern Tech +3 Even if the overall mood and tech level of her home world is 'pre-industrial' Jennize was able to visit Alabaster Weyrhold numerous times as a kid with her merchant cousins, where not only she was originally Searched as a kid, but where she marveled at the electricity, lighting, computers, and roll-up garage doors. This translates well into the Twoarth modern era, as well as other worlds she's likely to visit. She won't be confused by a VCR remote, a microwave, or a manual transmission car. She does still prefer certain things to be 'her world's' level of tech, particularly because those cars are kinda loud and smelly and not in a helpful way like horses and cattle...
