Tiza

**Tiza** is a fox fairy played by Butterflyunicorn. She is a chalk fairy from Arte, the fairy kingdom of arts and crafts. She ends her sentences with **~tiza!**

## Appearance

Tiza is fox-like fairy with big, triangular ears, a ruff of fur around her neck, and a large, bushy tail. While her body is primarily a silvery white, like the color of a sidewalk, the ruff around her neck is various vibrant colors. In addition, she has colorful markings, patterned as if someone has doodled on her with chalk, on her paws and the tips of her ears and tail. She also has similar looking markings around her eyes that are loosely shaped like eyelashes. She has pink blushes on her cheeks, black eyes, and a small fang that can be seen when she opens her mouth. She wears a fuchsia baseball cap that's usually turned backwards.

## Personality

Tiza is a cheerful, free spirited fairy who three greatest loves in life are creativity, the arts, and individuality. She's very high energy and incredibly passionate, especially when it comes to her personal interests. Tiza firmly believes in being yourself and believes that everybody should just be what they want to be; while this makes her very supportive of others, this can also lead to her acting rude, as she won't tone down her behavior just because someone asks her to. Despite her unintentional rudeness, however, Tiza does care deeply for her friends and loved ones, and while she may not be the strongest out there, Tiza is very courageous and will fight against even those who clearly overpower her to defend those close to her. The only thing Tiza seems truly afraid of are erasers, which she has an odd, irrational fear of.

However, Tiza is hot headed and incredibly impulsive, the latter of which, combined with her fearlessness of anything that isn't an eraser, tends to lead to her picking fights that anybody with a brain would realize they have zero chance of winning. She's also rather immature and prone to acting in a childish fashion. She's also, to put it lightly, not the sharpest pencil in the cup holder, being prone to being just plain dumb, especially when it comes to topics her knowledge of the arts can't be applied to, such as math and science, often making a complete fool of herself in the process. In particular, Tiza will occasionally try to apply storybook logic to real life, with predictable results. Tiza is rather impolite, often speaking casually with complete strangers and forgetting to have basic manners.

Despite what some may assume do to her short tempered personality, Tiza is genuinely very creative and loves to draw and write, often creating tons of characters and massive worlds in her head. She's very proud of her work and will excitedly show it to anyone who wants to see it. Surprisingly, Tiza is highly receptive to criticism, and will try to incorporate it into her worlds, although getting criticized may initially make her angry or bum her out. When she's bored, Tiza loves to doodle on the walls and grounds of various places. Do to her creativity, Tiza can be surprisingly clever in a fight despite not being the brightest bulb of the bunch, as her creativity makes her good at improvisation... although, of course, she's just as likely to try and brute force things out of sheer rage.

## Relationships

**Izawil and Lily**: Upon first entering Mihoshi Town, Izawil and Lily were the first two people Tiza encountered. Tiza was initially suspicious of the two do to their obviously evil energy, but as they kept chatting, she grew sympathetic to them. That being said, she did try to bite Izawil when Izawil tried to attack her after growing annoyed with her slang usage.

## Etymology

**Tiza** comes from *tiza*, the Spanish word for chalk.

## Abilities

Tiza can travel through chalkboards and chalk drawings like portals. She can also leave chalk marks with her fur, allowing her to doodle whenever she wants. Like most fairies, Tiza is capable of levitation.
