~TIDBITS~
- What’s something about you that no other living person knows?
  - I don’t always agree with some of the things I am required to do as a paladin and sometimes I….cheat if what I’m ‘supposed’ to do doesn’t feel right. My grandfather taught me stone cutting and I still do it as a form of meditation and relaxation.
- Two Rumors and a Truth?
  - Her parents bought her admission into the Temple of Five
  - She can speak to stone
  - ...I'm still trying to think of a truth....
- What’s an object that you always keep on your person?
  - My light hammer, from my grandfather
- Do you have any recurring dreams?
  - She sleeps deeply content in the knowledge that she is where she is supposed to be.
- What’s something that you have in common with your character?
  - We are both only children who grew up in a bubble.
- Tell me something else interesting about your character!
  - Her family were among the first dwarves on the island, so were subject to the loss of magic and weapons that came from being severed from their original deity. They would have been part of the clans who worshiped and sacrificed to the Twins to survive, and defected to Mytros when the opportunity presented itself during the First War.
  - Because aligning with Myrtos both freed them from the tyranny of the twins and allowed them to become prosperous, the family is very devoted.
  - By the time Tiff came along, the family is fully steeped in the tradition of devotion to Myrtos and she is full-bore into being a warrior for god to an almost sacrificial level.
- Prejudices
  - She has a very black/white/red view of the world. She was taught that people fit into boxes and will struggle with this as her world view opens and her upbringing doesn't always mesh with what she feels is right.
    - People of Myrtos - favored people
    - People of Estoria - provincial but good
    - People of Aresia - warriors are demons, people are heathens
    - Order of Sydon - demons, should be purged
    - Druids of Oldwood - heathens, should be saved
    - Cult of the Snake - demons, should be purged
    - Lost Tribe - demons, should be purged
    - Centaurs - demons, should be purged
    - Raving Ones - demons, should be purged
    - Medusa - deserved the curse for making the decision. Will consider each person based on their personality but unforgiving about paying the price.
    - Minotaurs - should be pitied for the curse from Sydon. Good people.
    - Nymphs - doesn’t believe they exist?
    - Satyrs - She has no philosophical problem with them but because of her upbringing thinks they are distasteful. Why do they have to be so...blatant. Church girl at a strip club. Very uncomfortable.
    - Sirens - Same as satyrs
