Tia

  • a.k.a. Chiya
  • Age: 8-9, looks 6-7 due to malnutrition
  • Marital Status: Single I should hope!
  • Occupation: Rescued street waif, now foster-daughter to Callina di Asturien-Elhalyn and Auster Elhalyn of Stone Haven.
  • Former Occupations: Street urchin, part of a ring of child crooks
  • Residence: Currently with the group heading to Stone Haven, formerly any alleyway under a box somewhere.
  • Laran gift and laran training: Too young to have shown signs of laran, if any.
  • Politics: Keep away from the child crook's crime ring boss unless she absolutely needs money.
  • Personality: Generally shy, even as a street kid, she did what she had to do to earn money than retreated to her various hiding places in the alleyways. Despite being a child thief, she has high morals, and feels incredibly guilty, even about things beyond her control.
  • Strengths: A survivor - she has survived life on the streets of Thendara, and has adapted quickly to first being a prisoner and now a foster daughter of Auster Elhalyn and Callina di Asturien-Elhalyn.
  • Weaknesses: Being a child trying to survive in a harsh environment. Good food, clean clothes, a warm place to sleep. She stutters when nervous, and when she is in situations where she isn't entirely sure of what is expected of her.
  • Combat training: Street kid smarts... kicking shins and running fast.
  • Horseback riding: Not much experience - being carried like a sack of tubers over the front of a saddle, and sitting in front of someone and hanging on don't really count.
  • Appearance: Initially: Grubby street urchin, oversized tunic cut down and tied on with an oversized rope belt, rags wrapping the legs and feet. Hair was a dirty, blackish colour. Underweight, bordering on scrawny, undersized for her age, innocent face, big grey eyes. After a bath and real food: Pale skinned child, that hadn't seen enough sunlight. Drastically thin; hair now a darkish red, almost black, lightly wavy and untamable; eyes still big and grey but sparkling more as she is happier. She is wearing what clothes have been found in the Elhalyn suites and at Winterberry Estates. It's unlikely she would be recognized as the street urchin she was by the men that ran the child crook ring.
  • Romantic relationships: None at her age, thank goodness!
  • Friends: Others in the child crooks ring.
  • Pets: None of her own, yet, though she has been assigned the responsibility of looking after Callina di Asturien-Elhalyn's new kitten, Mestra Mischief.
  • Hobbies: Learning how to cope with her ever-changing situation.
  • Other Information:
  • Family Tree: Unknown at present. Mother was probably a maid that had been dismissed when her "situation" became evident. Father was possibly Comyn, or a Comyn nedestro.
