Tiera was born into a happy home with two loving parents and a wonderful group of siblings.  Saphire and Mikilo ShootingMoon raised Tiera and her brothers Mithula, Kyrandia and Fiblonus on the outskirts of a small village, and all was great until she was 17.  It was at that age that her brother Mithula was killed along with many townsmen battling a dragon.  He younger brother Fiblonus witnessed the death and went crazy as a result.  That night, while Tiera and Saphire were in a neighboring town and Kyrandia was enlisting, Fiblonus attacked Mikilo and burned the house down, burning him alive.  Saphire and Tiera returned home to a smolering house and her father dead.  Fiblonus was institutionalized and Tiera thought things were on the up and up since nothing else went wrong for quite a while.

Tiera continued living at home after this, to take care of Saphire who was overwroght with pain from the loss of Mikilo.  She took great care until her mother met Philo FireStar, an innkeeper who let them stay free of charge.  When her mother wed and moved into a new home, Tiera went with her. But the glee was short lived.  While Tiera was in town buying supplies, Saphire and Philo were attacked by wolverines.  Philo was killed and Saphire was horribly disfigured.  She nursed her mother back to health and when Saphire dissapeared into the woods, Tiera moved to her new home in the enchanted forest.  There she met her first husband All~s Destroyer, had a short courtship and an even shorter marriage.  Things just didn't work out, but she got four good things out of the short marriage, her quadruplets.  Raif, Marcus, Michaela and Darphus.  At a few months old, a horrid curse woven by All~s made all the children but Darphus ill to the point of near death.  If not for a nice drow elf, they would have died.  At the time of the healing, it was also discovered that Darphus was a born mage with exceptional magical talent.  Shortly thereafter, she finally wed her longtime friend JC Tanim and gave birth to the quints minutes after the wedding ceremony.  The quints, Leetah, Skye, Gabrielle, Mithula and Tobias brought great joy to the couple, and since they have had four more children, Talya and a set of triplet boys, JC jr, Mikilo and ? .  With nine of ten children grown and on their own, she lives happily with JC in their home in the enchanted forest.

Life was grand for Tiera, it included finding her lost brother Orion living in a small town not too far from the forest.  But sadly, on her way home from visiting with him, she was jumped on the road by a small band of theives and was thrown from her horse.  Her neck was broke on impact and she was killed. It was many years before Tiera allowed Darphus to ressurect her, and now she works to rebuild her life with her husband JC.
