Hello everybody! Looking forward to playing with you all!<br/><hr/><div align="center">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/Lockepick/Character%20Pictures/1297964276_5766-2560x1600_zps2597a0df.jpg)</div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Tiana Kosen</div><div class="spoiler_body">Name: Tiana Kosen<br/>Class: Witch of Life and Passion (Healing); Hedge Witch Archetype<br/>Race: Sylph<br/><br/>Sheet: http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=906835<br/><br/>Personality: Tiana's power comes from life energy, and she believes she needs to immerse herself in that to gain more power. She revels in those positive sensations and emotions, in passion and joy. She's perky and playful, refusing to let the bad stuff weigh her down. She tries to surround herself in those positive emotions, in first trying to cheer up people, and then avoiding those who are inconsolable. It's not a selfless act -- she believes it brings her closer to her patron and is just the most pleasant effort she puts towards gaining more power. She believes passion is the essence of living, and she's quite sexually free, open minded, and liberated. <br/><br/>History: The Kosen family have always been prominent wizards and nobles. Selective breeding has given then a natural knack for the arcane arts, and a rigorous academic program has made sure their potential is nurtured. Tiana was no different, the young girl was schooled at home among other students that were all cousins. Even the teachers were older relatives, or people brought into the fold in such a way that they mind as well have been family. Tiana may have had a gift for magic, but she didn't have the patience for traditional lectures and tests.<br/><br/>Still, even the strict academic regimen of another Kosen hopefully allowed some time for the children to exercise. In this schoolyard, Tiana's poor grades was something to ridicule and mock, if only to feel better about their own exercises. As such, Tiana spent her recess time off on her own, playing in the nearby fields and gardens. At age ten, that is where she met Fox. At first he was just a playful creature, and the pair frolicked and played. Tiana would talk to Fox, and even though the creature showed no semblance of intelligence in understanding her, it seemed to have empathy for her woes. Tiana would speak to Fox of her troubles in school, and the lessons would make more sense. She couldn't put them into words that her professors preferred, but her skill was going undeniable.<br/><br/>Tiana grew up, but Fox was always there in the garden when Tiana needed her. Tiana gave him silks and cloth to fill his den to keep him comfortable and warm, while keeping him out of sight of the rest of the people in the manor. Her commune with Fox changed the very way she understood magic as she grew up. Her teachers wanted her to learn formula and equations, where she worked more on instinct and understand of the ephemera of magic. Her grades were poor, even though they served no purpose except to give her family reason to ridicule her.<br/><br/>At age 18, the ridicule and lack of support from her family was enough to drive her off. She left her home, but still was anxious to find more help in harnessing her powers. When she heard about the University, she traveled across the country to apply. Her lineage helped get her in the door, even though she'd be the first one that needed any outside training. <br/></div></div>
