## Biography

### Background

Tyrann was born among the Valenthian nomads, wanderers of the old roads, performers and thieves, storytellers and liars. Growing up, she was taught to take what she needed and listen only to her instincts, lessons that would lend to her survival after King Leandro ordered the arrest of all nomads in an effort to make the roads safer. On the night that the soldiers ambushed them, Tyrann had been out hunting. She was faced with a choice: run back to her encampment and help fight the soldiers that outnumbered them, or turn and run to freedom.

It would be years before she would forgive herself for having run.

With the roads no longer safe, she escaped back into the country of Valenthia without a penny to her name and no one to turn to. Petty thieving kept her alive for a time, but with every theft she pushed her luck unlike Scylla and Maggie. One day, she pushed it too far. It took four guards to catch her and one more to subdue her. Her reputation as a thief was well-known and the guards looked forward to recompense, and so it was that they decided to take her directly to General Vahn Don for reward.

Bruised and chained, Tyrann sat crumpled at the back of a cart as they brought her towards Castle Valence. They reached the inner bailey of Castle Valence, cheerful and confident, none of them realizing what was about to happen. Portals opened all around them as demons poured out. They crawled from the shadows and pulled unsuspecting peasants and soldiers screaming into alleyways. Pandemonium erupted all around them. They had just witnessed the beginning of the Demon War, and they sat at the very heart of it.

In the chaos and carnage that followed, Tyrann's shackles came loose, but the guards were too busy fighting for their lives to notice. She got up, slipped from the cart and, looking around, realized she had a choice: help fight the demons that outnumbered them, or turn and run to freedom.

Through the pain of her bruises, the ache of her bones and the despair of her loneliness, she reached out for a nearby discarded glaive and leapt screaming into battle.

As it was for many during the Demon War, survival became paramount, matters of loyalty and law becoming secondary. She fought alongside soldiers and guards, thieves and murderers, peasants and farmers, always on the move and always one step ahead of the demons. She followed her instincts through it all, staying alive despite the odds and making it through the war alive.

When the war ended, the land was irrevocably changed.

But SO was she.

## Personality

Tyrann has an extremely deceiving personality facade. Her quirkiness and humor grant her the main comedic woman in Valenthia. She is also dedicated and perseverant on her bounty hunter career. When she was younger, she was energetic, lively, happy and positive. Once she is revealed on her betrayal, her demeanor becomes more sinister, though her personality for the most part seems to be similar to Ser Vahn who's calm and collected. She is shown to be envious of Harland's raw magical potential and views Harland with contempt for squandering her magic on maintaining the fantasy within the realm, believing that he is undeserving of her fair share of powers. Her true nature is very wicked. She is sinister, egotistical, selfish and opportunistic individual, whom would tend to pull the strings for her own benefit, rather than helping people.
