Aleksand of Puelath

Pern character, initially created for the Pern RP "XaaaCi".

Short version:
Aleksand is, in all universes I play her in, a small, criminally-inclined woman with an affinity for dragonkin, and frequently an Actual Dragon bonded to her. In the XaaaCi setting, she is the leader of a group of Pernese organized crime called the Wher Lords and has the ability to cast spells through song, and she is 71 turns old; she Impressed Puelath in the stands and spent most of her weyrlinghood trying to get back to leading the Wher Lords. In more standard Pern settings, she's a former highwayman who left a life of crime behind entirely because she Impressed Puelath while keeping her head down with her parters in crime, and is closer to 34 turns old. She is always an impulsive asshole and always has a long history of bad decision-making, and basically is adhd.txt in human form. She's 4'9" in all version, which is even smoler for Pern than it is for Earth.

In XaaaCi canon, she Impressed Puelath from the stands, which caused her so much distress at being trapped in enemy territory that she lasped into a second Breaking. Puelath stopped her by instinctively using her command on Aleksand, which neither of them really expected, understand, or even talk about. The subject brings Puelath a great deal of distress (she likes what she did about as much as Aleksand does), so Al never mentions it, even if it's a pebble in her mental shoe.
