Tinalia Von Grazen<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Backstory</div><div class="spoiler_body">        The von Grazen family is a newly minted merchant family, their patriarch (and Tinalia’s father) having only recently risen to a place of some importance among high society. He spent his life organizing trade routes between small farming communities and mining villages, bringing them safely to cities where they were needed, and delivering the gold back to the sellers-with a tidy cut for himself, of course. Where he differed from others was his willingness to invest in his sources, using the wealth he created to deliver needed supplies (or disaster relief) to the people he bought his goods from. He formed many connections with the guilds and associations to ensure business got done fairly, and after receiving recognition from The Merchant’s League, he and his family were welcomed into the upper class.<br/><br/>   Tinalia was born some time after the family entered the upper circles of society, and seemed to be born with a natural charm that won people over easily. Her wit was sharp as well, and she easily took to her father’s business, assisting him on negotiations and even joining the caravans he occasionally personally led.<br/><br/>   It was expected she would easily integrate into high society and perhaps join a noble house through marriage, but potential suitors were foiled by Tinalia gracefully evading any attempt to woo or seduce her. She seemed to yearn for something that the life she was born into couldn’t provide.<br/><br/>   The answer of what she truly wanted was provided to her on the day of a great carnival. A circus showed off dangerous animals performing incredible tricks, but one of the creatures got loose from their handlers. The creature, a great tiger, cornered a pair of terrified children. Guards moved in to put an end to the tiger, as it seemed ready to pounce, but Tinalia got there first in a fit of sudden courage.<br/><br/>   In but a moment, all around her were enchanted by a mysterious aura around Tinalia. She raised her hand and pointed at the tiger, and spoke a word in a language she had never recognized. A few scholars nearby recognized it as the tongue of dragons. “Back.” She said, and the tiger cowered before her majesty. Just long enough for the circus handlers to restrain the beast.<br/><br/>   While the majestic aura is a feat she has yet to duplicate, from that day on, she discovered she held the power of magic. She had no formal training, and yet here she was, firing blasts of lightning and speaking in a language she had never seen written or heard spoken. And if she thought the hounding from young scions looking for her hand in marriage was bad...now it was worse. Every nobleman and woman wanted her as a mage under their control, but she wanted nothing to do with any of them. <br/><br/>   Seeking to protect her family, she prepared to escape in the middle of the night. Her father, however, was smart enough to figure out her plans, and stopped her midway. Not to chastise her, but to give her a small gift: A crystal orb, a focus for her magic, as well as a letter of recommendation. “Find the Freelancers. They’ll take care of you.”<br/><br/>   One tear filled goodbye later, and she made good her escape. She came to the Freelancers and has spent the past couple of years working for them, taking on jobs that have helped to reveal her origin: That a dragon was once part of the von Grazen bloodline, and his lineage filtered down to her. Along the way, delving into ancient ruins has enhanced the draconic blood within her, granting the powers of flight, regeneration, and the ability to breathe lightning. So far, she intends to continue working with them, as they have granted her what no one else could: Freedom.<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Sheet</div><div class="spoiler_body">A much clearner sheet than the original (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1722031)</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Face</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://c4.wallpaperflare.com/wallpaper/203/16/950/women-fantasy-art-artwork-purple-hair-wallpaper-preview.jpg)</div></div>
