Since everyone else is doing it<br/><br/>Tinalia von Grazen (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1726192)<br/><br/>Background: The von Grazens are a small merchant family, mostly running caravans of goods between several trade routes, making a tidy sum of money for themselves...but her father, Samuel von Grazen, always taught her to give a little back to the people, as taking all their coin or goods did not make repeat customers. He was a bit more willing to take a bad deal, or pay a little more than a good might be worth, if the people he was trading with had more of a need than he did. However, he also taught her how to not get burned on a malicious deal. So while the girl is very sweet and compassionate, she is not naive, and knows when she is being played.<br/><br/>The strangest thing about her, however, is that her hair is purple-its her natural color, and as people soon learned, a mark of ancient power. Strange things always happened around the girl-for example, once, a farm with a hundred clucking chickens all fell silent as soon as she set foot on the property, or fires growing in intensity near her, or people feeling strange shocks when they touched her skin.<br/><br/>The true depths of her strange power were not felt until she was much older, the day a storm came to town. The von Grazens, despite being travelling merchants, did have a home in a small farming community, and one day, a massive storm threatened to wipe it all away. The people made plans, and her father intended to set out, using some of his wealth to purchase supplies to rebuild...but as the storm came close, the winds picked up, the rains began to fall, and Tinalia stepped out to greet the storm. Lightning flashed around her as she raised her arms to the sky...and parted the storm. It still raged, but now it had somehow been moved to avoid the farms and houses entirely, saving everyone and everything from its fury...not that she didn't pay for this incredible display. Immediately after it was done, she passed out, and did not awaken for a week.<br/><br/>When she did, she found herself awakening to a town of strange people with familiar faces. Superstition can rule the hearts of men, and while she had saved them, she was ostracized, unwelcome in her own home. One night, she decided to sneak away, but was stopped by her father...who gave her a pack full of supplies, including a crystalline orb he had been forcibly given by a mysterious soothsayer, who had told him "someone close to you will need this". He knew she could not stay, that her home was no longer home, but he would give her what aid he could.<br/><br/>She has set off on her own to seek answers about who and what she truly is, and to find herself a new place to call home.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Appearance</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://www.tokkoro.com/picsup/2967903-women-purple-hair-curly-hair-purple-eyes-fantasy-art-artwork-purple-flowers___people-wallpapers.jpg)</div></div>
