Talia Iceglaze

[Talia Iceglaze]

Talia Iceglaze Physical Description Race: Vantha Age: 16 Birthday: 48th of Spring, 496 AV Height: 5'5" Weight: 130 pounds (lean muscle from working at a furnace) Left-handed Character Concept A somewhat troubled young girl who loves to learn. Practical but very moody. Very curious about herself and the world around her, but also very stubborn. She wants to travel the world and learn everything she can along the way on a journey of soul searching proportions. Oddly enough, instead of buying a weapon she would prefer to forge it herself. Now if only she could convince her parents to put off marrying her off until her return. That's the tricky part. She doesn't feel that she's ready for such a commitment. What right does she have to guide her children when she can't even guide herself? That's how she views it. Not all Vantha are extroverted. Talia is an introvert by nature and is energized by alone time. This in no way means that she doesn't enjoy the company of others, to the contrary, she loves talking to people and making new friends. She just comes off as a little guarded and social interaction drains her energy. No big deal really. Known to take an excessive amount of argument to convince her of just about anything, especially her good traits. She values justice, knowledge, and order at any cost. Basically, she's using the Djed Storm as an excuse to travel, but plans on making good on her promise. Trying to help those in need, wanting to find a way to get rid of the storm while perfecting her craft, and still trying to make time for herself is a daunting task, especially when traveling all across the continent with no real place to call home. She plans to learn all that she can and possibly learn all sorts of exotic techniques in smithing that she can blend together with what she already knows. If it intrigues her, she will learn it. No if's and's or but's about it. Character History Born from the union of Kylan and Elara Iceglaze, Talia is the youngest of 5 children. She seemed to have a bright future ahead of her as she showed talent in blacksmithing as early as age 6. However, this is as far as the talent went as she quickly grew bored of it...and it showed. Her work became shoddy and her parents were greatly concerned. After age 10 she and her father argued a lot. He wanted what he thought was best for her and she didn't even know what she wanted to do. During the Summer of 506 AV, she made a friend. His name was Syllke Skyglow and she remembers that he liked to tease. He would chase her about and try to kiss her. Not being interested in boys at the time, she was grossed out and ended up running a lot, trying to evade him. Eventually she got tired of running and got a bit angry before kicking him in the shin. They were still good friends when he left Avanthal in 511 AV. She missed him dearly. Eventually, she came of age. Kylan and Elara wanted her to select the suitor, but she rejected both of them so far. This caused another rift between them and Talia. It was then that Kylan decided to give her his journal. It was filled with entries from himself and his father before him but still had many blank pages. He hoped that the entrees inside would help the troubled youth. In a way it did, putting the idea of traveling into her head. She would go out to search for herself in the world. What she will do, and what she will see...she has no idea. Although worried, her parents came to an agreement that this might be for the best and gave her one year before they'd marry her off and sic her fiancee after her. She thinks this is a joke...oh how wrong she is. The Djed Storm screwed everything up. Two of her brothers died when the mines collapsed and the other barely made it out alive. That's not even counting other members of the hold, who are like family. The entire hold was devastated by the enormous loss. Koran and Kaleb, twins, were her favorite siblings and now they were dead. Now she had a personal reason to go adventuring, to save as many people as she can using the skills she had already learned. Every single nail is important in times like this, and no one can make nails better than a blacksmith. Besides...she wants to know what took so many lives but spared her own.
