Lady Talia

Name: Lady Talia Shin'a'in

Age: 421

Species: Gryffon

Spirit Companion: Raven

Looks: Unusually large for a Gryffon. She has beautiful light-brown feathers with white underbelly. Her talons are long, pitch-black, and knife-like. Her eyes have often been described as "Pools of sapphire" because of their gem-like quality.

Personality: Proud and highly intelligent, she may come across as controlling at times. She cares for her Kingdom as though each gryffon were her own. She has a strong motherly instinct, and rules her kingdom according to her experience. She is still young for a gryffon.

History: Talia was born a long time ago, before the wars started, and was witness to the United Land becoming the four kingdoms. When she was very young her parents were killed by a Human Guard who claimed to be doing so on the orders of the Emperess, but was later found to be lying. She vowed revenge on this guard and his accompliss, Gregory Locken, the commander of the Human Guards. She grew up wrestling with the older boys out in the streets. She won most of the fights, and gained a few scars to remember some of the tougher ones by. When she was finally strong enough, she and a group of friends she had been training lead a raid on the Human Guard's quarters. They injured several and killed three, including the two who had killed her parents. The Emperess was impressed that a 340 year old Gryffon and a few others plucked off the streets could take on an entire trained camp of guards. She assigned Talia the title of LADY Talia, and let her rule over the Citadel. At first Talia had to fight down rebellions. When she succesfully fought back over 20 rebellions by her own people, she became their trusted leader.
