Dallaney is a character of mine at Star Stones MOO.  This site is devoted to presenting her history in as current and forthright a way as I know it, to maintain the spirit of roleplay, and most importantly,  to tell her story.

Included are links to her history, descriptions of owned objects, and logs of roleplay.  If anything gives players offence, please let me know.

Descriptions

Dallaney the child:

A thin child, a literal burst of lanky limbs and untidy muddy mahogany curls mass into a boyish tangle compressed into her young body. Ragged lines of grit and scratches rake over a darkened brown face, thick lids fluttering open on beady eyes also hazel and oft-times alertly wary. The small face sharpens into depressed cheeks and pursed lips, altogether not too pleasant a sight.
Reluctant Igen Weyr colours twine on her shoulder, threatening to spill over to the browned neck.

Dallaney in her teenage years, 12 turns onwards:

Gaunt, Dallan is, grown into a gawky adolescent stockiness. A mass of indifferent mahogany curls crisps defiantly from behind her ears, huddling to straggle over sharp eyebrows that cap equally hazel eyes in a thin face. Her nose is sharp, her chin well-defined; dark brown cheeks and lips naturally pursed make her no pleasure to look upon. Uncertain growth has given the slender limbs wiry strength, with a simple agility of motion, but she remains shorter than most others her age.

Dallaney at 15:

Short, slightly gaunt around the edges, this adolescent bears Igen's glare in the burnt brownness of her skin. Uncertain growth has worked away the childish plumpness from the avid angles of nose and chin, further accenting pinched features with their harsh planes and abrupt peaks. Below forehead's darkness, a primal acidity informs her hazel eyes, restrained by stubborn mahogany curls -- but flaring inevitably into the compact rebellion of a muscled shape and habitually agile motion.
A single cord sits on her shoulder, twirling from bedraggled grey to the
pristine white of candidacy.

Dallaney at 19:

Desert-born and -burnt, dusk shades her in, settling over shoulders broad in comparison to her slight build and tanning lanky arms a rusty brown. Vigilant angles heighten the harsh peaks and abrupt gullies on her face, accenting pinched features drawn by a miser's brush; the same quirk of bloodline informs the boyish figure, paring skin close against bone. Below forehead's darkness, a primal acidity informs hazel eyes, capped by stubborn mahogany curls shorn ragged at ear-level, but flaring freely, fiercely, into a rider's easy agility and a controlled drawl.
Double cords of maize and jet loop and intertwine, acquiring a wisp of brown ribbon and a Wingsecond's tassle along the way.

A plausible picture of D'ney - just imagine her with less-than-perfect proportions:
