PCs:Thienna Relimion
|
Personality and Appearance
Thienna is a beauty with dark green hair and light violet eyes, looking to be in her elven early-120s. When not wearing her Blue Order robes, she loves to wear a variety of outfits and dresses. Thienna tries to hold herself to her upbringing as well as emulate her mentor's reserved demeanor and therefor speaks with a calm, but slightly haughty voice with the intonations clearly marking her accent from the Seven Cities. She is very polite and tries to be diplomatic, most of the time. However, her temper can easily show itself if certain situations present themselves.
Background
Her Upbringing in Stalwart
Thienna was a foundling, left on the doorstep of the Orthenis Orphanage of Stalwart. This orphanage was not a charity, but a business operation. Madam Orthenis would studiously train the orphans put into her care, watching their progress carefully. Those with less talent would be raised to the proper age, then be apprenticed to many of the various Trades within the city. Those with greater talent would continue to be taught the graces and manners of courtly life, to one day become select employees of some of the more discerning establishments of the city. Some may even become trusted servants of the noble families or rich merchant families. But all this does not come without a price. Those raised in the Orthenis Orphanage are indentured servants, the costs of their training and studies kept in accounts. When a student is sufficiently trained, their indenture contract is sold to whomever is willing to pay this amount (plus a sizable commission, of course.) The bright side to all of this is that once a student is hired as an employee, a part of their wages is directed towards paying off this debt, and as someone trained by Orthenis is usually well-paid, the indenture can be paid off in a very reasonable timeframe.
Into this specialized life came the most amazing find... An avariel child, wide-eyed and solemn. The Avariel had disappeared decades before, none knew where they had gone to, and none could discover how this babe came to be left on this particular doorstep as far from the avariel city of Toostan as could be managed.
Madam Orthenis could not believe her good fortune, and watched over Thienna's upbringing most carefully. Certainly an exotic avariel was not destined to live life as a simple servant or employee, but would grace the palaces and mansions of the titled and wealthy. Her training was incredibly strict, with very action, every movement, examined and critiqued. She wore the finest clothes of any student, was given more care and attention than any other student, yet she was not allowed to participate in many of the usual games as the other children, for the staff was too worried that her wings, the focus of her exotic beauty would somehow be hurt or the feathers damaged.
Thienna was carefully trained as a chatelaine. When her training was complete, her contract was not simply made for sale, but offered for bid.
