Veetabhi is the embodiment of femininity, with smaller facial features, larger cheeks, and a smaller face. Her jawline is strong, a defining line cutting across her face enough to distract anyone. And her flashing white teeth straightened to a T. This woman's face is heart-shaped and long, with clear almond skin, having just finished off her hormonal teen years, she is only left with small blemishes that have since healed over. Her skin has warm undertones, allowing her to better tan, and giving her skin a darker appearance. Her eyes are bright and large, with emerald green orbs flecked with hints of gold. A look into her stunning eyes and you can see the intricacy of the colors, with stunning deep greens lining her outer iris, turning paler in comparison as it reaches her pupils. The depths of them have no end, as the various greens intermingle with strands of gold, making her eyes bright and flashy.
Framing her eyes are a set of long dark lashes, thin and delicate, nearly reaching her softly angled, low-arched eyebrows, colored a dark brown to match her hair. Beneath her lower lash line, lies a small birthmark, or mole, just a small black dot. Veetabhi's lips are full and pink, shaped into a perfect cupids-bow. There slightly turned down on the edges giving them the look of a slight pout. Her nose is small and straight, coming to a slight curve at the tip of her nose, turning it up and giving her a slight button nose appearance.
In addition to this, she has another facial "marking" of sorts, she has a scar crossing horizontally across the bridge of her nose, though it has faded so one will have to be up close to see it. She also has dark freckles, very similar to the color of her skin, making them subtle in her appearance. In addition to these features she also has piercing, particularly one on each of her ear lobes, and then her cartilage is pierced on her right ear with a silver band. Her hair itself is very long and thick, stretching down to her tailbone in long black waves. She has a wolf cut, meaning her hair has more choppy layers on top, and then longer layers on the sides of her head. With natural waves to it, and the occasional sporadic curl to it.
Her figure is slightly curved, with a faint outline of an hourglass shape to it, while her bust is smaller. Veetabhi comes to stand at a solid 5'4" inches, making her on the cusp of average height and short. Despite her smaller size, she makes up in strength and agility. She is quick and light on her feet, being able to maintain a larger degree of flexibility while also seeming toned. She has been training for a while, you can see the muscle in her arms and legs, worked on for years as she's trained with her bonded leader. Veetabhi has trained for the position of Squad leader for a very long time, and finally earning it is the validation she needed to prove to others of her success and hard work. At a glance this female's stride is swift and smooth, she walks with purpose, with her head held high, making her seem like she always has somewhere important to be. Her scent is that of lavender and lightly of lemongrass.
Personality:
Yeah. There's too much testosterone among the new riders. Veetabhi is young, just a year above the oldest new rider, yet she had been riding and training for years. Being so close to the ages of the new riders she fears she won't be respected enough, and with so many new male riders she's hoping she can grab hold of them to pull the riders through their training. The more cooperative they are, the easier this will be, though she still has her fears. She tends to put up a defensive front, not letting anyone in unless absolutely necessary, almost a mental wall between her and the world if you will. She is more closed off and independent when she can be. Now don't get me wrong, she is fine around people and can work in a team, and can especially lead a team, but there are moments she just needs peace to herself. Now she does have a bit of a temper, and being surrounded by hormonal, irritable boys is not helping this women's case. She is willing to push aside her stereotype of teenage boys if they are willing to, in turn, prove their dedication and willingness to learn. She is a great teacher, able to explain things clearly and decisively with her words. Her actions and words are straight and to the point, she has never been one to beat around the bush. She can often come across as sharp or sarcastic without meaning to.
Veetabhi's success stems from her intense training and impeccable memory, without it she wouldn't be the person she is today. She pushes herself to the limit, forcing long nights and extra training days, she has pushed so hard for this position and once she found out she had been selected for it she was ecstatic. She is a competitive person at heart, and losing her biggest competition was not an option. She works great with those of younger age but pushes past any doubt when dealing with riders with greater years of experience. She is confident in her knowledge and ability to teach and guide people. Veetabhi is very particular about how things are run, she's not a 'my way or the highway' and is open to criticism, but likes to run things a certain way. She is a quick thinker, and very intelligent, many times this skill has saved her life, and as a dragon rider she believes this is an essential skill. Veetabhi also understands the leader she needs to grow into, being new to the position there will be slight hiccups along the way, but she is goal and task orientated and very adaptable, so reaching there shouldn't necessarily be an issue.
Her patience may be a bit shorter with those that she finds annoying or with those trying to seek attention. She may be social, but it's to an extent. Her friends are often those that she speaks with, and while she may hop in on a group conversation, it is not likely. This female may also be sarcastic, her comments are meant to be too harmful, but it may seem that way to a more sensitive person. She is normally more serious, so she won't speak this way a whole lot. Veetabhi is hardworking, always putting forth her best effort. She is dependable, and you can count on her to do her part, she is not one to sit by and idly watch. Veeta is very determined and is not one to give up easily. Veetabhi can be apathetic around half of the time, appearing blank or emotionless. This female will show emotions like concern, or elation, but keeps her 'private life' closed off. She doesn't need to appear weak or look as if she is seeking attention. Her goal is to keep her affairs and life on the down low, not wanting to draw attention to herself for her safety and to focus on the tasks ahead. Particularly training the new riders, as it has consumed a lot of her time.
Veetabhi hates to be pitied, and will definitely act more snappy if she is. When this leader makes threats, she means them, they are to install fear into whom she is addressing. She should be taken seriously. They are used as a last resort to get her point across and are never used excessively. This rider is loyal, loyal to herself, to her friends, and to those who she believes are in the right. This female is also quite protective, her circle of friends is smaller, and to lose one of them would be horrid and she would never forgive herself. Veeta is an observant person, if she sees something that seems off, she takes it into consideration. Especially if it comes to the new riders and their dragons. The female holds herself to a higher standard, if she were to miss something, she may take it a bit more personally. Though she won't let it show to those around her, she tries to be strong for the sake of others. She fears if they see her crack she won't be as respected.
Veeta is hardworking, always putting forth her best effort. Encouragement or coddling won't help her as much in a stressful situation, she needs more of a demand or something fear-inspiring if she is going to kick ass. Her words are chosen carefully as is her tone, Veetabhi can be a very convincing person when she needs to be, often using the skill on those she wants something from or to convince someone of something.
