## Biography

### Early childhood

Yaara Eitana Tsosie was born in 2032 to Enara and Ash Tsosie. She is ? years younger than her elder brother Malik.

Yaara had terrible parents, it seemed to be the opposite from the outside looking in. They didn't completely neglect Malik and Yasmin but they weren't fully present either. Enara and Ash weren't unkind people, they didn't physically abuse their son or their daughter. They regretted the decisions to have them, they never seemed to want the children their love ended up producing. Abortion or adoption both had a stigma attached to it that neither Enara or Ash could tolerate. Their reputation became intertwined with the behavioral issues of their children rather than their own social standing. Had no one ever known they had children in the first place they might have taken different measures to feel free again.

Her knowledge of magic started early, she was five the very first time. She was seven when she made her bedroom windows explode. For years between these spurts she kept trying to make magic happen. It didn't work that way and she'd soon understand.

She set a fly on fire, she didn't want it to land on her.

In 2042 her parents left, they told told friends and family it was Curse-Breaker business. They were mostly telling a fib on that one. They didn't say where they were going to the children or they didn't say anything at all, they didn't even say goodbye. They simply packed up everything they wanted to take with them one summer evening and they never came back. It wasn't as bad as it sounds, they didn't leave their home to ruin in their absence. Ash instructed his sister, Citana, to take residence in their sprawling estate for housesitting purposes. And ...also to look after the children... as she saw fit.

## Adult Life

"I've studied the magic, I know the charms and the potions. I'm still curious about many things. Controlling the various creatures/beings of which there are an abundance. Crafting my own items seems more within the realm of possibility. A hidden dagger or a simple piece of parchment."

## Personality and traits

Yaara is not the one. She's not the person to joke around with, she's not even the type to make friends. She's militant and self-disciplined, she's firey and aggressive. Cruel and absolutely heartless she doesn't care about anyone. She's not exactly nice and she's always got something sarcastic to say. She's stuck up and it's got nothing to do with blood status or magic. She's more unforgiving with herself than anyone else. She understands that human nature equals mistakes, the problem with that is she's the exception.

### Family

#### Tsosie Family

Yaara comes from a family that's broken. It's imperfect and it doesn't work. Her mother and father have an endless amount of love, for one another. The two children they created they don't care very much for if at all. They proved that by abandoning them, although they did leave them with a guardian in the form of the children's paternal aunt. Still, fractured the Tsosie family remains. Both Yaara and her brother are somewhat traumatized by their earlier somewhat feral living situation prior the structure brought in by their aunt.
