## Biography

### The Fall of the Noble Mage

Unlike the rest of her future colleagues within the **Survivors**, Tiana actually had a very good start in life. She was born into the affluent Elenafelt noble family and originally attended a prestigious academy that only the nobility could attend. Although very little is known about her early life or childhood, at the academy Tiana was a prodigy, who distinguished herself for her magical talents. During her time at the academy, she met a Professor, whose declarations and teachings inspired her to seek adventure, which was very atypical of a noble's lifestyle. Before leaving the academy, her lecturer gifted Tiana his smoking pipe, which she later came to treasure dearly.

Unfortunately, whilst everything seemed dandy, Tiana's fortunes would soon take a turn for the worst. At some point during or prior to joining the academy, she became engaged to a man called Alex. It is not clear whether the relationship was based off of a mutual attraction or merely a political marriage between the two noble houses. Whilst at the academy however, Alex revealed himself to be a vain and selfish man. Overtime he grew jealous of Tiana's abilities and he hated the way that she was always overshadowing him. Sensing an oppurtunity, a fellow student, Leenay of House Delcott, who also had her eye on Alex started whispering lies into his ear. Feeding off of his suspicions, Leenay told Alex that Tiana was actually not that gifted and claimed that the only reason she was doing so well, was because she had bribed the teachers into letting her advance.

Alex, who wanted to be seen as superior, swallowed these lies like fine wine. Tiana did not discover what was happening until she met the couple at a cafe, by which point it was already too late. Alex promptly ended the engagement, started a relationship with Leenay and then together with his new girlfriend, proceeded to destroy his former fiancee's life. As the new couple openly and shamelessly displayed their affection for each other, they contacted their families with their accustaions against Tiana. Due to how the political system worked, the people accused were all assumed to be guilty without anybody investiagting into whether or not the accusations where true. In the aftermath, Tiana was expelled, whilst the academy's innocent principal and Tiana's lecturer lost their positions.

The loss of her fiance and degree was bad enough, but what happened next completely destroyed Tiana. Alex and Leenay's false accusations had brought shame upon the Elenafelt family. Shortly after leaving the academy, Tiana was called into her father's study. Although her father knew that she was innocent, his hands were tied. As such Greymann Elenafelt told his daughter that she now had only two choices:-

* Either she marry an older nobleman, who had a sleazy reputation...
* Or, she go into exile and leave the Elenafelt name behind forever.

Although he promised to give her a small dowry, Tiana received no other support or sympathy from her sire. On the contrary, he coldly told his daughter that she was fool for not having anticipated this sooner. Recognising that nobody was going to help her anymore and that she was doomed either way, Tiana refused to become the mistress of some evil person that would mistreat her. Framed and disgraced for something she had never done, Tiana left the capital via carriage, a commoner. All that she had left were the clothes on her back, her mages staff, her former lecturer's pipe and her fathers promised dowry.

She eventually managed to find accomadation in the adventurers city of Terane, renting a simple barren room at an inn. With her financial security gone, Tiana tried her best to find honest employment but the people she spoke to either weren't hiring or refused to give her a chance. Then one day, a random stranger offered her a ticket to a local dragon-racing event. In doing so, he introduced Tiana to alternative way of making money: gambling. Taking him up on the offer, Tiana managed to win her first race and in doing so, not only won a reasonable amount, but found a way to cope with the loss of her status, fiance and family. However, despite the precautions she took, Tiana's loses gradually began to chip away at her finances until finally she barely had enough money left to last a week.

Knowing that she could not rely on gambling alone to sustain her existence, Tiana realised that there was only one last option open to her; becoming an adventurer. By undertaking quests, she could not only distract herself from her grief but also secure a regular and steady income. The only problem was that the guild refused to let adventurer's go into the local labyrinth on their own; in accordance with the rules, you needed to have comrades in order to register. This presented Tiana with a problem, as due to what Alex had done she major trust issues. Throughout the day a number of adventurer's did approach Tiana in hopes of recruiting her but due to Tiana's serious demeanor and intimidating expression these people swiftly withdrew their offer.

By the time evening arrived and the guild closed, Tiana had failed to find a party and remained stuck in her dire situation. Feeling depressed, she went down to the local tavern seeking to get something to eat and drown her sorrows. The establishment was quite busy and they didn't have enough room for a single person to sit on their own. As such, Tiana was forced to share a table with three strangers. With the exception of a dark-haired boy, the other guests completely ignored Tiana and she in turn ignored them, reflecting upon her situation. By the time her food and drink arrived, the pressure and unfairness of her situation finally got to Tiana. Seizing her drink, she downed it swiftly, slammed the empty mug hard upon the table and angrily declared: -

*"Human's can't be trusted!"*

A second later, Tiana looked up in astonishment, as she realised that the two men and the Dragon-Race woman sitting at her table had just shouted the same thing that she had!

## Trivia

* Tiana is the only member of the Survivors that was engaged prior to her downfall.
* Tiana would later tell Nick that she is sort of pleased things turned out the way they did. Had she graduated from the academy, her family would have pressured her into marriage and starting a family as quickly as possible. As Tiana herself explained, this was not what the kind of life she wanted. Although she makes it very clear that she will never forgive Alex, Leenay or her family for what they did, Tiana is relieved that their actions allowed her to leave on her own terms rather than disgrace her family by running away from home.
