## Physical description

### Eye color

blue

Tharchilla is unusual in appearance, mainly because of the fact that she is a draigis, and has two forms in that aspect. One of which (her human form) dresses in snow white robes, with a dark leather belt, adorned with gems. The other notable thing exclusive to her human form is her arm bands, supporting a massive white cape. She also wields a strange scepter of unknown origin, to be further explained in her gear. However, once she enters her draigis form, her appearance takes a dramatic turn in dressing, wearing a royal purple robe around her waist and a purple shawl of sorts over one shoulder, wearing two Draigis Belts underneath. In both forms, however she has a broken crack under her left eye, and extremely long, flowing blue hair.

## History

Though her past is scetchy, what is known is that her parents, who, unknown to her, were not her biological ones, but rather were pressured and blackmailed into adopting her by her father Gastromar, never intended for her to discover she was a Draigis. However, when she was about ten, she found out after her first transformation, due to The Reason Causing chaos through grinding the bones of his victims into her feed. Although scared and confused, She was also fascinated by her new form. She soon found The Reason, who explained her true self and what she was; a horrifying predator, at the small cost of eating human flesh. Although this offer was corrupt, she felt that this 'hidden form' was worth the trouble, and knew that she would no longer be just 'the kings daughter'. She would be the terror of the skies, slayer of warriors, and so much more. She shortly after told her sister, Lady Celtra, of her discovery. and shortly the two got to take 'shifts' on who was hunting. About a year later, she visited an orphanage with her family and found the orphan later to be known as Sir Prantos. Noticing she did not have predatory desires towards him, she requested him to be adopted as her brother. Her adoptive father gladly accepted this, while her "mother" was far more skeptical, however still gave in at a certain point. She tested Prantos to see if her theory was correct by grinding the bones of *her* victims into his meal. And, much to her relief, Prantos was indeed a Draigis. And from then on introduced him to The Reason, and taught him how to hunt. When she was about 19, she went down the valley of dragon slayers, and discovered a knight that had been left for dead in a pit. At first she conceited devouring him by nightfall, however she then realized that this knight, too, must be a Draigis. Once she had freed him, she gave out a secret phrase she discovered her kind used to see if they were both Draigai. As it turned out, the knight knew the phrase, however attacked her instead of joining her. They dueled nearly the entire day, until by nightfall, she cast a spell on him that revealed that this knight was a Draigis. At first he was confused by this, but then realized what he truly was, thanked Tharchilla, and then was employed as one of her knights after getting revenge on his betrayer. She got to know him as the knight Sir Deltus, her personal guard and, in the future, her partner in engagement. For quite some time, Tharchilla and her friends/family spread terror and started witch hunts all across their kingdom, before having attacked the Anti-Death Gang, Max, Ebonor, and Jim. She had briefly seen them before, when she decided to cause some chaos by restoring Dece Noko to flesh, but otherwise she thought of them as 'Travelers soon to be dealt with', she soon discovered she could not beat all 3 fairly, and attempted to impale them all simultaneously with her natural cryomancy, before being stopped by a mysterious human friend of hers, known only as The Old Artist. Afterwards she Welcomed the three into her castle (in human form) and talked to them about what they had seen on their way there, calling herself by her middle name 'Martha' and saying that the Draigis known as Tharchilla was an entirely different person whenever they mentioned the Draigis they had fought that, unknown to them, was her. Shortly that night she invited Max to her research quarters to pick the members off one by one, and revealed to him her true form in the process, as well as her friends. At first He was surprisingly useless in combat against her, most likely from pure shock of the event, however managed to contact Ebonor and Jim, and defeated her and her allies shortly after, and making her swear she would tell her people what was truly going on, though she did not give in without a fight, only promising to to so after Max shattered part of her mask, an action that sealed both her and her family, especially Deltus's, hatred of the gang. Naturally, however, she not only broke this promise the following day, but announced to her people that the Anti-Death Gang were the Draigai that were causing the trouble, and thus made them public enemy #1.

Between the first and second season of the Void's End series, Tharchilla discovered who her true parents were, before arguably one of the worst things that could of happened came to her. Her adoptive parents felt that they could not afford to have a whole family of Draigi in their kingdom, especially when they knew that Tharchilla might have children at some point, and the two attempted to assassinate her through slitting her throat while she was researching her true mother and father. Instead, due to Tharchilla's mental disorder and a sudden rage that overtook her, the two met untimely deaths at Tharchilla's hands, a secret she's ashamed of and has only ever shared with Sir Deltus. While the rest of the Void's End believe, as Tharchilla told the rest, that the two simply died of an unexpected illness, the truth was the thing that sealed her hate for all humanity, scratch the old artist and Nicko, the only humans who she'd ever think has a right to live. However, due to the death of her adoptive parents, she now had the ability to expand her reign, and begun to plan out a massive project that would almost conquer the whole of the Void's End.

Far later she began to learn the ancient art of making Dark Draigis Crystals. These strange, blood red crystals had the strange ability to actually transform any human being into a lesser form of Draigis known as a 'Dark Draigis'. With this she could easily make an army, but first used the crystal for other reasons, namely revenge. Due to Max actively destroying part of her mask, he was always the one who Tharchilla loathed the most. As a perfect revenge scheme, she connected the Crystal to Max, Thus on becoming a Dark Draigis. While Max desperately searched for a way to reverse the process, Sir Deltus proposed to marry her, in which she happily accepted. Eventually, Max and his friends returned, with Max still having found no solution to her revenge. Max dueled with her with Joe and Mad Madam Madamane this time, however, Dark crystal creation was not the only art she had perfected. She had also improved upon her cryomancy, leading to her nearly doubling her threat level. After seemingly being defeated by a machine of Joe's, she quickly got out of the rubble, now more furious then ever. Tharchilla now plots her next scheme, hoping for a wide variety of things to happen in the Void's End that even The Reason would find confusing...

## Powers

Being a Draigis, she naturally has several powers with her, such as Cryomancy and flight, as well as high athletics and strength. Although skilled at physical combat, she still prefers to do as little physical combat as possible, preferring to attack with ice. When out of Draigis form, she still uses ice magic, however prefers to use her Shadow Crystal Scepter Instead when channeling it.

## Personality

Tharchilla is not what one would call insane, more simply exaggerated. Due to exposure to The Reason and having a rare voiden mental disorder, something that she finds mildly amusing will make her throw an uncontrollable fit of laughter, and cause what would make her simply snort with frustration make her have a highly expressed fit of rage, thrashing her wings as she shouts at the offender. Naturally, Her family and friends are used to this, and she can keep some of these fits in control around others who do not know of this mental disorder. She tends to hardly even conciser having these precautions on her self in Draigis form, however, feeling like she does not need them, and that it makes her look scarier to humans, but seems to also get quite humbled if a human she likes comes into view, such as The Old Artist. The only times when she acts actively soft, cuddly and affectionate around her relatives (with the only exception being Sir Deltus, though that is for obvious reasons), And getting quite frustrated whenever she discovers somebody is watching, and that's simply without her mental disorder. Her strange personality, as her adoptive father put it, "Makes her the perfect match for cold, emotionless Sir Deltus." However Tharchilla tends to get rather frustrated whenever that phrase is brought up.

## Equipment

Although her equipment varies, her human form typically wields a Matriarch's Scepter And advanced cryomancy, and dresses in Tharchilla's Royal Gown. In Her Draigis form, however, She dresses with two Draigis Belts Across her chest with the normal Draigis Cloak over it, while dressing in a Draconic Royal Waistcloth otherwise.

## Trivia

* Tharchilla is not only the first female villain, but the first female *character* below 70 years old in *Void's End*.
* Her name, 'Tharchilla', is based on the name 'Thartchilla', a name I gave to the Ice Dragon queen in an old fan fiction.
* Furthermore, 'Thartchilla' is based on the words 'thou art' and 'chill', making Tharchilla's name actually a bit of a play on words.
* And if we're going even further on that, the word 'thar' in the Draigis language means 'beauty', so technically, by extension, her name means 'cold beauty'.
