Description

When considered individually, Yunwei’s facial features can only be called severe. Prominent cheekbones call attention to the symmetry that reigns over this harper’s face before melting into a sharp jawline. His skin mirrors the pale colors and soft textures of a salma rose - only gaining a hint of warmer undertones when he has spent hours under the sun. Contrasting against this dewy backdrop are thick eyebrows, which taper slightly as they move outwards and align with the edges of his eyes. It is Yunwei’s gaze that truly softens his countenance and leaves but one word to describe him - gentle. While his top eyelids arch smoothly, the bottom carry only a fraction of that curve, creating a downward turn. The irises of his narrow set gaze are large and reflective, like pools of burnt klah that allow others to see themselves in them. Rarely, a hint of russet shows itself amongst those dark orbs creating even further depth to his expression. When reading for long periods, glasses obscure half of his face, giving him a scholarly appearance. The harper’s nose is straight and well proportioned. Not only does it divide his face, but also draws attention to cupid bow lips that curve upward gently in a semi-permanent smile.

The harper’s hair is silky and its texture changes depending on its length. When short and freshly trimmed it is straight, but when allowed to grow it forms natural waves. Under man-made light his strands are almost pitch black, but under Rukbat’s rays they jump alive with hints of mahogany.

Yunwei’s lean musculature is well hidden by long sleeve shirts. His more formal attire consists of a button down shirt, a vest, and sleeve garters. On casual occasions he will don a simple shirt and pants. His forearms constantly seem to be covered no matter what his attire and a harper’s knot always rests comfortably on one shoulder.


History

Perhaps Yunwei's penchant for long sleeves can be attributed to where he grew up - after all, High Reaches is known for the cold weather. From an early age he showed interest in reading and as he grew that developed into an obsession. It didn't take long for him to join the Harpers and after several turns he eventually specialized in history and law. Though he displayed some slight talents for guitar and voice - music was thrown to the side in favor of knowledge. Beneath a gentle exterior lies deep ambition when it comes to his crafter and after moving from the High Reaches to Harper Hall he dedicated all of his time and energy into earning his Journeyman's knot. With the accompanying knot his posting at Fort was decided - though he didn't go alone. Two others from his home in High Reaches accompanied him to Harper Hall and then to Fort. Yunwei, his younger sister, and their closest friend now find themselves at the Weyr and with any luck the adjustment period won't take too long. After all - teaching weyrbrats can't be /that/ hard - right?
