Tayvaryvethyye Kyris-Isa

Tayvaryvethyye Kyris-Isa- also known by their more familiar nickname "Tayvi"- is a member of House Isa, a house still recovering from it's fall as a result of it's abuse of the substance known as the Tilaexa'vys, the Frost Thistle. Rather than spending their days working to rebuild their house- Tayvi has instead left to travel the frozen realm of Anglunia- having used their endowment of wealth to create a traveling carnival, by the name of the "Aeyya'xevata Traveling Circus". Performing under the stage name, the "Heart of the Revel", Tayvi's circus has become renowned across Anglunia, both for it's stunning performances, and hedonistic indulgences.
== Biography: ==
=== Early Life ===
Tayvi was born in the Anglunian city of Renpaard, the ancestral home of the Isa family. Despite the decline of the Isa family- they would be raised in relative comfort, the younger of Kyris Sibil-Lovesong's two children. Tayvi was born a hermaphrodite- both male and female, embodying the contradiction of their patron god, Fayroth. Even at a young age, Tayvi fully embraced their dual nature, seeing their fluidity as a blessing- a trend which would continue into adulthood. As the younger of two siblings- Tayvi was largely able to avoid the responsibilities that their sister would be saddled with. While their sibling left to pursue education in the arcane arts, they would spend their childhood, and even young adulthood as a dilettante, dabbling in various forms of expression, moving from art to art at their fancy- often getting bored with one, and moving on to the next with the flightiness of a summer gale. They would, however, retain interest in the musical and performing arts- which they showed an incredible natural aptitude for.
Even as a teen, Tayvi had a predilection for indulgence. They dabbled in various alcohols, occasional drug use, and other such hedonistic practices- eschewing common sense, and choosing to instead spend every day as if it were their last- believing that they were immune to the consequences of their actions. They would throw grand parties at their familial home in Renpaard, wasting their family's money on these revels. Eventually, however, their parents would grow weary of their antics- and in an attempt to perhaps teach Tayvi some restraint, they would send their child to live with the priests of Fayroth, hoping that they would be able to teach them how to balance their hedonistic tendencies with even the slightest measure of common sense. They would be sent away at 17- initially furious at being thrown out on their ear by their own parents- but as they spent time learning from the priests- they would come to identify more and more with Fayroth- eventually, on their 18th's birthday, choosing her as their patron deity. Despite this- their time with the church would do little to temper their flamboyant and indulgent nature- far from it. Instead, Tayvi decided to fully embody Fayroth's nature as both a god of debauchery and mischief- and continue to live in a way that allowed them to experience as much novelty and joy as they could before they die- and to help others do the same.
Eventually, Tayvi would be "released" from the cloistered life of priesthood- having convinced the priests of the church of Fayroth that their new philosophy was indeed a quest that Fayroth herself would endorse. In an ironic twist- instead of being converted to the ways of sobriety and temperance, Tayvi would instead persuade the very same priests to support their own life's philosophy. Free once more- instead of returning home to their family, Tayvi would instead decide to retain their freedom, and instead pursue their newest, and most whimsical dream yet- to create a travelling group of performers, to wander Anglunia, teaching their audiences to let themselves enjoy life and become filthy rich in the process.
This was the spark, that would over time, eventually grow to become the Aeyya'xevata Traveling Circus. Using up every drop of their available funds, Tayvi would purchase the supplies necessary to run their wandering troupe, and hire a ragtag group of performers- who would become the foundation of the Aeyya'xevata. The early days of the circus were brutal- giving Tayvi a much-needed reality check, as they were forced to scrounge for money, barely staying in the black. This exposure to the harsh realities of the world of performing arts would end up being beneficial to the young ringleader- as they would quickly become quite street savvy- and far, far more shrewd in the way they ran the circus- finding new and effective ways to attract an audience. Eventually, the Aeyya'xevata would pick up steam. Tayvi would perform alongside their employees, singing, playing their fiddle, and dancing- along with engaging in all sorts of dangerous escape-artist escapades- performances which would leave their audience breathless. These performances, coupled with readily provided vice- alcohol, mild drugs, and debauchery, in an environment free of judgement- would quickly bring fame and fortune to the Circus- which Tayvi would put back into the circus, to continue the growth of the Aeyya'xevata.
== Personality: ==
In regards to their personality- Tayvi is an impulsive, charming, flamboyant and indulgent Yirsi performer. As a worshipper of the Arterna Fayroth, Tayvi fully embraces the hedonistic and indulgent nature of their patron goddess, living every moment of their life as it were their last, and diving deeply into vice. They also reflects another of Fayroth's facets- that of the patron of mischief among the Arterna. With a mischievous, impish nature to match their flamboyance, Tayvi loves to engage in practical jokes, and enjoys humor of all kinds- particularly dark or dirty jokes, a taste for which they picked up on the winding roads of their travels- and comedy plays, particularly the ones that feature dramatic ironies. Despite their hedonism, and their relentless charm- Tayvi is not a malicious, or even particularly manipulative person. Although they can be easily swayed by the offer of vices such as alcohol, fine foods, and beautiful clothing- their actions are not primarily motivated by a desire for profit- but instead, an earnest desire to help others learn how to enjoy life- if even for but a single evening. And despite their reputation as somewhat of a hustler- Tayvi genuinely desires to put on the best possible show they can- out of a love for the arts, a trait which runs deep within their family line. Tayvi is a musician and dancer themselves- and their passion for these arts is unrivaled across the land- matched only by their skill. Tayvi is also rather impulsive- a result of their philosophy on life, which eschews consequences. Thus, they hardly ever think of the consequences of their actions- and keeping them focused can be a challenge- as they are easily distracted by the promise of vice, a pretty face, or something interesting that they happened to spot. And despite their shirking of duties and wandering- Tayvi does still care about their family- even their father, with whom they rarely ever saw eye-to-eye with. This is evident in their choice to change their last name to match their father's- as a result of the lack of living Isas at the present time. Lastly- Tayvi holds a deep fear of extreme cold and enclosed spaces- especially caves- as a result of the common fate that befell most of their family. This ties into a fear and insecurity regarding the curse that they bear- the manifestation of their family's sin. Vain as they are- Tayvi attempts to hide their curse in any way they can- typically through long gloves over their hands and forearms- and makeup on their lips, hiding the dark black and turquoise gradient of skin, the tell-tale signs of their curse. Furthermore- they live in fear of the possibility that they may someday hurt someone, should their protections fail- and curse the irony in the fact that despite their indulgent nature- they remain unable to feel the touch of another upon their skin, without fearing that they may fall victim to their curse.
== Appearance: ==
Tayvi is a young adult of the Yirsi race- although their ancestry contains distant vulpur and human ancestry. They are slightly shorter than the average Yirsi, although they possess the willowy build typical to the Ice Elves- along with blue skin, pointed ears, and blue blood. Their hair is primarily white in color- however, it is also dappled with streaks of pale blond- a trait from the Lovesong side of their family. This hair is curly, falling full past their shoulders- save for three braids located among the hair of the back of their head. Tayvi has heterochromatic eyes- with the right being the signature haunting red of the Isa family- and the left a bright emerald green. Their skin bears dappled white markings- another trait of the Isa family- specifically located upon their ear-tips and cheekbones. However- these are not the only markings borne upon their skin- as the Isa curse makes itself known in the dark gradient that covers their hands and forearms- giving them an almost frostbitten look. Furthermore- the curse is not only contained within their hands- but has spread into their lips- which are colored with a dark black and turquoise gradient- although Tayvi typically covers this with liberal application of makeup. They also adorn streaks of golden kohl- specifically beneath their haunting red eye. Tayvi is a hermaphrodite- meaning that they are biologically both male and female- although the traits of both are less pronounced. Thus, their choice in clothing can be eclectic, and varies wildly, from crisp suits to ball gowns. Typically, however, they are seen wearing a sleeveless robe-dress of silken white fabric- with a veil of gauzy lace exposing their stomach, and golden bangles around their arms, and hoop-like earrings hanging from each ear- studded with pearls.
