Appearance: Tan leather trousers, tight to the body but not binding, black, mid-calf, boots and a loose white tunic that reaches the knees. Belt around her waist to carry several pouches.

Background: Tia's parents are essentially unknown to her, they perished in the desert heat when she was 2, the oasis they'd managed to finally find no consolation to their already heat stroked and dehydrated bodies. How Tia survived the desert is a mystery, but she wandered into the city of Vastitas two weeks later, none the worse for wear, and was taken in by an old thief named Cessir. Raised and trained in the arts and skills of thievery, Tia once again found herself alone at the age of 14 when Cessir finally succombed to his old age. She left Vastitas the next day, grieving, wandering virtually aimlessly until arriving in Scyphus and falling in with a guild of thieves.

Strengths: Tia does not need water to survive and can go for weeks without losing her strength to hunger. Her magical base is life, therefore her recovery rate from wounds is rapid. She has a mild tolerance to all elemental magics, but is not immune to them.

Weaknesses: Ironically, life and cure magic have ill effects on Tia. Left to her own healing, her body will recover from most any wound, but restorative magic actually has adverse effects on her regeneritive abilities.

Other: Tia is first and foremost a fighter and a thief, she cannot use restorative magic, therefore, she is useless as a healer, thus she's honed her skills to suit her abilites.
