Character's Name || Tyerin (Water/Fire)
3 Base Traits|| Passionate
Tyerin's place is both lowly, as a hybrid born of a servant mother, and high, born of a noble father. In spite of, or because of, this, she approaches life boldly, soul blazing. She feels things strongly. Her beliefs are fervent, her dedication unwavering. She hopes to tug heartstrings and set fires in the souls of others with her eloquence, and to continue going where someone else might have fallen by the wayside in despair.
Meticulous
Tyerin plans things to the letter, and is very cautious about her actions. She may power forward through her plans, but she is careful to make sure that those plans are as foolproof as she can manage. While boldness is the only way forward, Tyerin tempers that with care and caution. Loose ends will be tied, collateral damage will be carefully engineered to provide an advantage. Nothing will happen that she is not ready for... or at least, so she hopes.
Manipulative
Tyerin is careful, but Tyerin also plays the 'game' of nobility. People are pieces on a board, and every movement causes ripples. Tyerin understands these ripples and the ripples they themselves create, and seeks to use others to improve her family's lot in their world. In the bigger picture – and in the smaller scale – Tyerin uses words and actions to change the behavior of others. Sometimes, even, when she's not intending to do so.
Personality ||
Tyerin is proud and regal, eloquent and graceful. She lives to serve her family and carry on her grandfather’s goals, even after his death. The needs of her family are put before her own, it’s legacy grown and advanced by her hard work. But, in securing her family’s prosperous future, is she neglecting herself? Despite the official abolishment of slavery, she is little more than a servant to her family's needs. It just so happens that that need is reclaiming their lost glory.
Tyerin is filled with pride and passion for helping her family, taught that helping them succeed was her purpose. She essentially worships the ground her grandfather stands (lies) on, and holds his every directive in high regard. She thinks he loves her. She thinks she loves her family. She thinks that it is an honor to have this purpose. She thinks its fine that any benefits to her are second hand, mere trickle down.
To help her family, she is ruthless, manipulative, and subtle. She has a mind for machinations, and she knows when to speak and when to be quiet. Watchful and thoughtful, she produces schemes as elegant as chess moves, and knows everyone on her playing field - their strengths, their weaknesses, their secrets.
This mental machine produces, almost as an off-gas, thoughts that Tyerin - and others - consider beautiful. Perceptions about the world, emotions she must typically suppress, and the beautiful words that float in her vocabulary marry to produce works of poetry and art. There are many things that she has to restrain herself from expressing, and so she uses the acceptable mediums of poetry and music to express herself. In these mediums, she can be herself. Outside these mediums, her words - her very being - must serve a greater purpose. Sometimes, she is sad about her role, unsatisfied with where she is in the world.
But for the most part, Tyerin considers it inevitable. It is her fate to be her family’s advocate, her role to carry her grandfather’s legacy and ensure that the family – the purebloods in it – will prosper and regain the power they once held. Now - and for now - she is all right with this, and pursues it with all of her determination.

History ||
The Wajheer family was a once-proud noble family, but it was in decline; it’s scions were unfocused and - for the most part - carefree. It’s more responsible members struggled to keep their family prosperous and respected despite debauchery and scandal. The further-flung branches of their family either endured the troubles or began to quietly detach from them in shame. The patriarch, the enigmatic Sikhsir Wajheer, he was furious but ill. His iron hand could no longer hold the family in check.
Initially, Tyerin’s birth was just another disgusting scandal to add to it: a scheming household servant impregnated by one of the Oban nobles, birthing a hybrid child that was claimed by one of the scions as his (though the exact parentage of the child - beyond “one of the family” - was unknown). In other times, she might have been killed, exiled, or otherwise swept under the carpet. But as the house was, she was just another stain among many. To destroy her would have been pointless. And so, she was allowed to survive.
And more. Her grandfather, the patriarch, ailing, demanded that he be attended to by one of his children. However, the more respectable members could spare no one, and his children irresponsible as they were, sent Tyerin instead. Initially enraged and insulted that a b*****d hybrid child would attend to him, her persistence in her duties and his loneliness and desperation caused him to warm to her – so far as 'warm' could describe him. As Tyerin tended to him and spoke to him, reading books and talking about the news of the day, he began to see something in the child that intrigued him. Indeed, in a sense, he saw a last hope to restore his family's name.
He began to demand all of her time, taking it upon himself to educate her and shape her. He forced her to immerse herself in the family politics from a young age, learning business and policy and all the little intricate things that a noble must know. She was made to understand how her family had fallen, and how it could be restored.
This was, he told her, her purpose. It was, indeed, her only purpose, the only role she could fill. He filled her head, day in and day out, with the idea that she would save the family. She must save the family. She must, he told her, be his will where he could no longer go. Young, impressionable, filled with respect and admiration for her grandfather, and knowing very little else, Tyerin did not question his dictates.
Her father and his brothers and sisters initially liked her but could not care less about those goals. As far as they were concerned, the patriarch was past it. Her mother, however - still a servant - saw an opportunity and encouraged Tyerin forward, hoping to gain status through her.
Tyerin is not quite ready to change her family on her own, but with her grandfather growing sicker and sicker, she feels she must do something before he passes to show him that his 'confidence' in her is well placed. But where, indeed, does she start?
