Description
Nadzia is a young woman of average height, with a slender build and tan skin. Her straight black hair reaches just past shoulder length, shorter lengths framing an oval-shaped face. Set on either side of a small nose, her dark blue eyes partially hide under long lashes and curved brows the same colour as her hair. Her lips seem to be set in a permanent smile, no matter how much she tries to deny it if it's pointed out. Nadzia appears to be in her mid teens.
A luxuriantly baggy green sweater drapes over Nadzia's form, tumbling from shoulders to mid-thigh in a brush of thick, plush wool. Those who know the specific cabled design would recognise it as being from Fort Sea Hold. Sleeves are nearly as long as the body, extending past her fingertips when not shoved up around her wrists. Trousers beneath are sturdy and black, hugging close to thigh before flaring out at the knee to kiss the top of each foot in a wide circle. Boots, sturdy and yet delicate, formed for a woman's foot, peek out from beneath the hems of her trouser legs.
She wears the simple brown and black knot of a Fort resident.

Background
Nadzia's life has, in general, been free from complications. Born at Fort Sea Hold to fisher parents, she was the middle child of three and for a long time was the only girl. When her sister Rula arrived she was determined to hate her, but this was something that she found impossible to do from the child's first smile at her. The two became inseperable despite the five year difference in ages, often found tucked away together in odd places and usually asleep. Hiding was her favourite pasttime for a very long while, and to this day nobody has ever realised that she managed to fit into the cupboard under the sail racks.

At the age of ten she took to following the hold's headwoman around, mimicing her orders to people and generally getting underfoot. To Rula she vowed that one day she was going to have the headwoman's job, something that became a running joke between the two girls but was always at the back of Nadzia's mind. Instead of taking over the hold at twelve she instead took over the cleaning, splitting her time between the nursery and caverns duties.

Her life had its real first upheaval when the newly turned eleven Rula announced that she was going to apprentice to the healers. Nadzia refused to believe it until the day the cart left and Rula with it. The hold seemed rather empty then, and Nadzia decided that she too needed a change of direction. Considering her options she dismissd most of them, falling back on the one ambition she'd has for so long - to be headwoman. Her reluctance to move too far away from family almost immediately caused her decision to head to the Weyr with the hopes of learning from their current staff and, eventually, maybe, that coveted headwoman position.
