To have gone from the life of a blacksmith to one of a holy follower was an odd transition. Tanzanite was used to getting up in the early morning before the sun had even peaked over the horizon. Her body used to ache at the beginning and end of each day from the physical strains of running a smithy. Her metallic-like skin would be covered in soot that would take some time to scrub off before getting covered in it all over again. However, despite the physical demands of such a profession that she was forced into as a young girl, the earth genasi loved tempering the metal and creating. The life of a holy follower was far different than the day to day lifestyle of a blacksmith. For one, even if she did follow the God of Craft, it was unlikely she was to be covered in soot. Her time spent training and worshipping the nameless God of Craft, however, has allowed her to learn how to magically create simple items, and even strengthen others. Her love and respect of creation has never been so bright...which is why Tanza now found herself outside of the Arcaneum.<br/><br/>There has always been a sense of calm that washed over Tanzanite when she handled items of the earth. Alabaster, her master, told her it was because she was an earth genasi. They found comfort in the element they were made of. History resided deep within the layers of earth, hiding secrets and treasures waiting to be unearthed and discovered. Tanza's mind was set in her desire to explore and discover these long lost secrets. Perhaps she would even uncover the name of the god she has been devoting her life to. She wanted to bring back the beautiful treasures from the ground and allow them to be tempered and shaped by her hands before going off to do something great. Tanza felt confident that her abilities could be of use in the career of exploration...though she has seen very little of the world outside of the slum she lived in and the blacksmith where she worked.<br/><br/>Tanzanite entered the Arcaneum. Her gray-purple hair was drawn back in a braid that fell between her shoulder blades. It swayed lightly from side-to-side with each step. She had come after hearing that there was to be a meeting for people interested in an exploration taking part in the ruins. Tanza figured this was as good a time as any to step up and try her hand at being an explorer. She swept her eyes around the room as a feeling of curiosity settled over her, seemingly intrigued if not a little amused by the broom moving on its own. Though a little slow in heading to the reception desk as she took in and analyzed her surroundings, Tanzanite finally reached the counter. Her opaque eyes settled on the bullwug sitting across the counter. Like two groups before her, she was shown back to the Professor's meeting room. However, the door to it opened just a few moments before she reached it as a few individuals walked out of the room. Awkwardly, Tanza peered around the doorframe to make sure the last departing person made their way out before stepping inside. Her eyes settled on the group that remained: a lizardfolk, a dark elf, a tabaxi, and a half-elf.<br/><br/>"You are to be my coworkers, are you not?" Tanza spoke aloud bluntly, gazing at them quizzically for a few seconds before offering a friendly smile and a small wave, "Nice to meet you all. I'm Tanzanite, but most people just call me Tanza for short." Her voice was lower and rich in tone. Was that an adequate introduction? Tanza wasn't entirely sure. Most of her life was simply spent in the simplicity of Master Alabaster's company. Even with those among the guild, they were far more talkative and bursting with self-confidence than she was. It typically lead to them speaking and sparing her the responsibility of starting a conversation...or really carrying one for that matter. Tanza stepped further into the room to sit at the table the others were at. There was a faint gleam to her seemingly metallic, gem-like skin. The purple hues in her appearance had given her the name Tanzanite as she took after the gemstone's coloration.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center"><div class="bbCodeSpoiler">
