Topaz

## Personality:

Stubborn but is nice; only to those rarely who open up to her; needs some therapy and wants to do things for herself; quite shy and things like that/is chill in situations. Seems to be afraid easily if she can open up to others without them blasting in her face about things and is usually seen very brave with carrying knives and stuff like that.

## Reason for Chosen Rank:

Topaz was actually almost murdered by her mother, (And fun fact, the mother aka named Nightshade isn't her mother, and she was basically adopted/taken away at birth.) and then was turned around and blamed for it when she self-defensed and minorly scratched Nightshade, and than she decided she had enough so she actually killed her and than left, fleeing across from Pantala to Pyrrhia and killing/doing criminal acts on anyone who has actually found out who she is and what she did.

## Backstory:

**Trigger warning for mentions of starving, blood, and possible ab\*se (This is not meant to be taken lightly, so here is a trigger-warning for you.)**

Topaz was royalty, being born in Nightshade Hive meant she had to be polite, royalty-like and was often stressed, and pushed on pressure to be perfect and a 'good heir' for marriage and to take over the throne. However, Topaz was rarely good and was always doing things like sneaking out and doing things that would've been highly unacceptable in her family. She was usually punished a lot and sometimes the punishments were so cruel it lasted up to weeks of being locked into a tiny room with little-to-no food or water. Nightshade hoped that she would 'learn to be good' and be better after this but kept causing and continuing troublemaking and trouble still.

What became a problem. Topaz would steal things and start to fall downhill by stealing things from her mothers guards and further pushing her mothers rules, but was also becoming way more depressed and stressed the harder she was pushed to be perfect and the more rules and expectations backed up and thrown onto her back. She had to learn how to fight and fend for herself after a while when her mother would leave for long, royalty, diplomantic missions and meetings and Topaz, as a result, felt neglected and 'shoved' away. Even though she was always being shoved and neglected away.

The things she stole made her mother pissed, and locked her in her room, (Topaz is a skilled lockpicker-was good at picking locks at the time.) and waited outside for her daughter to come out, and when she had came out for food and escaping, She was attacked and brutally attacked, she decided to go on a outrage after that and murdered her. Feeling guilty and very upset/bad about what she did; she simply ran away to Pyrrhia.

Topaz over time began vicious and even more of a troublemaker; even getting her hands on a knife one time and murdering a few people in a town because she wanted to, because of it and her actions and never turned back from her actions. She doesn't want to experience the day again and believes that royalty is imperfect, lying, and strictly-meant for you to die or get crimes on your head.

## History:

Topaz was first seen in a forest, when she heard a noise, in panic and fear she climbed a tree and realized it was a SkyWing dragonet whose name is going to be revealed as Candlelight later. She realizes the dragonet is flying away so she climbs to the tree and sticks her head out for better view and spies and watches Candlelight flying. When she realizes Candlelight saw her and is now approaching her, she thinks she is a hunter and begs her not to hurt or attack her or she will kill her.

She realizes Candlelight is not a hunter, (and Topaz was shocked) so she put her knife away and down. They start talking after that. Topaz says that the reason she became a hunted was because of killing her mother when she attacked her which was partly true. She remarks Candlelight being a hunted because of her burning down a village was cool. After a moment of silence, Topaz asks if they can go hiding together somewhere. Candlelight nods and says she'll show her and its called safespace and to follow her. Topaz realizes she never got her name so she asks for her name.

She currently is in the safespace where she is mainly safe from hunters and residing with Candlelight and other people.

## Relationships:

###### Candlelight

Their relationship is mainly positive, because she had helped Topaz and Topaz looks up to Candlelight as a leader and someone important to follow and listen to. She wouldn't think about betraying Candlelight and so far, their relationship is positive.

###### Nightshade

Topaz feared her mother a lot, and often expressed dislike for her and called her wicked, and would sometimes talk behind her back, and was some of the main reasons for Topaz's flashbacks and her panic towards certain things like royalty and other things. She was also very afraid of Nightshade and when she had 'killed' her, she had fled, in panic that Nightshade was going to find her and hunt her down. She was also manipulative, controlling and cruel towards Topaz which resulted in loads of guilt. Their eelationship is extremely negative.
