Name: Aithne Anderson
Age: 28
Secret Word: ...
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Very mildly bi
Race: Human
Occupation: Scientist - Geology with minor in Biology
Human Physical Description: Aithne stands at a meager five feet and three inches tall. She is very lightly built on a lanky, fine-boned frame, and often tends to run almost too thin thanks to a high metabolism. The same genes that cause her to be unusually thin also make her appear easily ten years or more younger than she actually is. Her Celtic ancestry is easily seen in her bright red hair, mossy green eyes, impish features, and pale complexion that is generously coated in golden freckles running from head to toe. She tries to keep her read hair tame with a straightening iron, and when she can afford the time, she puts it into a taunt French braid or a braided bun held up with old-fashioned bobby pins. When freed and dampened, the entire waist-length of coppery locks recoils back into its preferred style composed of a wild mess of curls. During casual hours, Aithne is known for wearing modest clothing with barely any hint of actual style, otherwise, she is found in a lab coat and scrubs. Aithne is often found wearing a pair of gold wire-frame glasses built to correct farsightedness. However, any one who picks them up will quickly notice the lenses are more of a prop to hide behind rather than a necessity. Aithne tends to carry herself rather awkwardly through life with quirks-a-plenty. Her reflexes are poor. Her speech tends to get garbled by a tongue that won't entirely obey her. Also, she is prone to overreacting when being touched or encountering particularly intense sounds, colors, and other sensory input. A pat on the back can easily come across to her as a slap, thus, she makes a point to avoid contact that she doesn't initiate herself.
Avatar Physical Description: Aithne's avatar resembles the build of one of those exotic felines. While smaller than most, the build is thin and lithe. Her face may be nicely rounded yet her features are sharper than usual, especially in the smaller than average nose. Her skin is of a lighter teal hue with only marginally darker navy striping. The white dotting, however, is rather bold and far mare heavily spread, not unlike her human freckles. Her hair is thick and unruly save for that which flows into the braid down her back. She tries to wear modest clothing whenever possible, though at least with her avatar, she relents to a bit of color. She generally wears a lanyard around her neck with a mini compass and a geologist's magnifying lens. Her reflexes are better in this body than her human one, however she is still a far cry from a descent hunter. Her Avatar body is notably less prone to overreaction to stimuli than her human body as somehow the Na'vi brain is built to better process floods of sensory input. That's not to say, that she doesn't still have a knee-jerk reaction to people getting too close to her, or a lingering desire to avoid places of intense color and sound. Getting use to Pandora via her Avatar body will take some time simply because of deeply ingrained habits caused by her dysfunctional human body.
Personality: Aithne carries herself as an aloof quiet mouse that would prefer to hide by herself in a lab behind microscopes or other work-related projects than join the crowd around the break room. She carries a strong devotion to her work in science as she works to build an ever larger picture of the living universe, how it functions, and how it came to be the way it is. When given preference, she'll defer to delving into the past rather than the present. It is her knowledge of rock science that has brought her here to Pandora, originally to help the company find its treasure. Yet, when the lines are drawn, she found herself fighting her own mind while the natives where fighting for their world. Aithne has one major problem. Since she was a child, she has tried to seal her own gifts as a shamanic seer. She explained her problems with her own body in typical psychological terms such as "Autistic", instead of allowing herself to think she might be capable of discovering more to the universe than the science she follows can explain. No matter how hard she might hide, the truth still follows, waiting for the chance to catch up with her. When she allows herself to relax, she often finds something on this planet calling to her, sometimes through her very blood. She pretends the sensation she feels is merely her own pulse echoing through her body, and that she enjoys watching the forest for it's simplicity. Somewhere deep inside, a part of her fears what will happen when her carefully built walls crumble and the lies she's told herself for years are smashed. Can she handle the truth after so many years of denying it?
Talents: Though she is autistic, Aithne comes in on the high-functioning end of the spectrum, thus showing keen intellect in her specialized fields. As a geologist, Aithne prides herself in being able to read the rocks like the pages of an ancient book. She was brought to Pandora so that she could help find more of that precious material that was being mined here. Hidden in a self-locked prison in side herself, however, is another talent inherited thought blood and soul. The ability to see the essence of life, the energy that pulses so vibrantly through Pandora, is keen if she were to only allow herself to accept it. Hidden still deeper is an unknown vault of memories belonging to a past incarnation that could explain every problem she has, were she only to find a way to listen.
