Background

Early Life


Telina and her sister are the product of an infidelity between a married Nanshin with children of his own and a T'Nnashi dwelling O'Ma nymph. The twins know nothing of their father save his family name which they took for their own. Their mother of course has no family name. The girls were born only minutes apart with Telina being the older of the two which gave Telina an excuse to be somewhat bossy with Juine. In practice though Juine stayed more with the adults, Telina was always drawn to the periphery of the group, always pushing her boundaries, willful and more interested in what was living under that pile of sticks than the merriment of the group. Their youth was idyllic, enclosed in natural surroundings, moving from one grove of plenty to another with little direction or guidance, merely the encouragement of their mother's people to approach life as a time to enjoy being alive. For a time, the life among the various types of fey was all the knew never once having seen any settlement. As they grew, the girls began to range more freely but were still largely protected by the fey who knew them and the nearby elves whom the fey knew to be good natured. If the fey began to move close to M'chek, the girls were forbade to approach the old war zone and, in being raised with so few demands, found this one easy to comply with.
    As they approached the equivalent of their pre-teen years the girls were already markedly different.  Juine's experience with songs, stories and socialization joined with her charming appearance was making her a potent attractor of the kindness of strangers.  Telina's wanderlust and fascination with the natural world led her to never learn Common which pushed her to the background of discussions between people. As she and her sister roamed though, it was Telina who kept them safe.  To a point.
    At first Telina roamed more alone than with Juine but as the girls approached a mid to late teen years of apparent age they traveled more and more together.  Until that time however, Telina never had one serious mishap when she traveled alone.  She credits this to the intervention of a mysterious woman she knows only as "Old Woman".  When crossing a ravine while walking on a log which snaps, a vine just so happens to become wrapped around her ankle, when a bandit begins chasing Telina, Old Woman appears and the man stops, wets himself and runs the other way.  No matter where in the forest this occurs, Telina is invited to Old Woman's house which is never far away.  She hears a tale of mystic lore, fed sweets and then is sent back out to play.  The last time Telina saw Old Woman was the day before the twins left for Elysia.  Juine has never seen this strange person.

In Elysia

    When the twins arrived in Elysia and declared their intention to become Champions they were met with extraordinary kindness.  They were given gifts of weapons, gold, armor and more.  Thror Stormhammer, Galakh the stone among others were kind with gifts, Karak Hammerstar provided instruction through example of how to be a stalwart warrior.  Through him an affection for the order of Gorethar was born for Telina.  Consequentially she spent as much time as she could in the company of Jessica Paragorn, Aspen Stormcat, Hert Snyder and others.  In a way, Telina idolizes Karak and, perhaps surprisingly, wants to be just like him.  She is however, completely ill-equipped to be much of anything like him at all.   The twins beauty brought them much positive regard at first but sooner or later Telina sensed that this wouldn't be enough.  After a trip to Mikona where more gifts were bestowed upon them by the merchants smitten by them there the twins sought out opportunities to be industrious.  Shayra Thornberry, Marin Nemelgen and others gave them opportunities to produce heal kits, potions of fire and otherwise, earn a living in a satisfactory fashion.  In this time Telina learns from Kai Ral Windspar from the encouragement of Moira Celyn Windspar Callindraes about Fyglia.  Her tutelage is furthered by Jwolaroth Ruk & Sanney Fereyn, the latter who encourages the twins to join the order of O'ma, the former of which has Telina approached by the Shemathen.  As with the AKN  though it seems Telina is simply too focused on overcoming her fey spirit to achieve more than her original stated aim so nothing comes of actual or proposed membership in any of these organizations for Telina; to become a Champion of O'Ma.  Perhaps this is for the best though considering that her twin, Juine has yet to complete Champion training. 
    During her training period three crucial events happen to Telina.  First, while learning about her fyglia Telina encounters an avariel woman named Thienna who was tortured once with great cats.  Telina is so struck by her story that she tries to help the woman to overcome her phobia but is changed herself and takes on the bear fyglia for herself having lost a certain degree of infatuation with cats.  Second, she falls into alcoholism which jeopardizes her ability to continue training.  Meeting an Angdarian named Sephira Everliss who was suffering a much more advanced form of alcohol addiction than her own scared Telina straight.  In the bargain, Telina and Sephira become fast friends and confidants in one another.  In Telina's mind, leading Sephira to the first steps away from evil.  Third, she meets Aerill Alipera and Miette Hartley who's wisdom, worldliness and knowledge lead Telina to become powerfully concerned with the fate of Tooir Laylom, a druidic Champion of O'Ma who fell at the beginning of the plot of Moreanne Tanasi.  Aerill gifted Telina a scimitar which was reforged for Telina's ordainment and inscribed with the words Telina often spoke as her way of summarizing her dedication to continue the work of Tooir Laylom: Spring follows Winter.  In the time leading up to her ordainment Telina had advanced herself as a druid, defeated alcoholism, learned to speak common, learned to fight as a warrior, earn money for herself through craft, conveyed some of the mystic wisdom and magic taught to her in her youth to the people of her new community and achieved her greatest personal ambition, becoming a Champion of O'ma under the tutelage of Champion Ivars and befriending a powerful warrior spirit housed in Sumi.
    Following her ordainment which was attended by several people, every soul present being immensely appreciated by Telina, she was stationed on a frigate escorting supplies to Grantir.  She stood in as ships garrison but saw no action and was never given liberty to leave the ship when in port at Grantir though she did get back on the ground when the ship was in other ports of call such as Ferrell, Mikona, etc.  As her ship had a sizeable fey crew component her mastery of common backslid somewhat.  After a time, she returned to southern avlis where her story continues.
