PERSONALITY:

Stylish

One can have no doubts on her gender, Tierney loves appearing feminine even if she tends to go for cuter clothing rather than attractive clothing. She can dress in most styles one can think of, though she loves the surprise of finding new styles of clothing.

The mid-line between passionate yet lazy, and patient yet impatient.

A lover of procrastination. It takes quite a handful of time and bait to motivate her when she's not bounded by obligations, when she does get motivated though she won't let go of her current objective until it's done. She is also quite impatient like a child, preferring taking direct actions instead of standing by and wait, even if she is gradually teaching herself to do the latter more often.

The child in the adult's body

In her free time, she likes to play alongside children who enjoy old ways of playing that don't include technology. This makes her somewhat surprisingly childish, but she isn't ashamed of this trait at all.

I will most certainly not forget my grudges...

If someone does something bad in her opinion, she will hardly allow them to live it down, making her fairly anal-retentive on revenge-related matters.

But perhaps we can work something out.

However, she may reconsider depending on what they've done and what she can get out of them, making her quite manipulative as well.

Childishly hyperactive and unnecessarily prideful

She has a handful of issues with pride, often getting in trouble from being unwilling to ask help from people and often doesn't openly acknowledge all the help she's had. When faced with a success, she has a tendency to act like a child.


LIKES:

Sweet and spicy foods, though she can't fathom the thought of them being mixed, unlike some people.

Animals, she's very friendly towards animals who generally like her, although a few tend to take their nerves out on her, making it that she always keeps band-aids in a pocket.

Outside games, without considering the Magic and Science side treat she isn't a big technology fan, rather preferring going back to old methods of playing like a child.

DISLIKES:

People that are too mysterious annoys her to no end as she likes meddling a lot.

She doesn't mind lies depending on the context, but liars will be remembered.

Sour food is the bane of her existence.

Anything she can't learn quickly annoys her despite her persistent nature.


STRENGTHS:

Tierney is very sociable towards others even if she keeps them at a distance, but is also a very reliable friend to those she actually trusts, though those friends are virtually non-existent due to previous trust abuse.

She isn't a determinator, but will always carry out her missions as far as she possibly can, always aiming for, even if sometimes not achieving, the best results.


WEAKNESSES:

On the spot, logic isn't really her forte even though she's rather intelligent when she focuses, making it that she runs in situations without a clear idea of what she'll be doing. And she also has a tendency to look back often, focusing a lot on her past mistakes than her possible future accomplishments even if the mistake was unimportant.

She also relies on her magic a bit too much as a result of lack of motivation to develop actual physical strength. Too much physical exercise is the end of her.


HISTORY: Although living in a rather poor environment in Ireland after the passing of her mother at birth, Tierney, an only-child, had a rather happy childhood playing outside with whatever she could find without really minding the lack of proper toys, though she had managed to bond with a boy of her age she'd often run into and spent a lot of time with him as they started meeting everyday.

But over the years,  he'd gotten negatively influenced by school peers and started being cold. Though she had kept her trust towards him, on a day where she was assaulted by one of his friends, the boy believed Tierney to be lying due to his friends openly denying it and pushing the blame on her, which broke the remains of trust she had towards him. Feeling soiled and depressed for a while, Tierney wondered why people would do and lie about such things. Months passed with the belief that making lies disappear would make her life much better getting stronger by the day.

Gradually she recovered from the incident, but an accident happened to her father when she was fifteen. Her father, overworking himself to feed both of them while lying about his state of health, fell gravely ill and after nearly a year since Tierney learned he passed away. Tierney grieved and felt frustration, incapable of understanding why her father would lie as well and drive himself in such a corner when she could've helped take some load off his shoulders.

“If only people would stop lying”, she thought. The wish to get rid of lies and liars had returned, stronger than ever as Tierney dreamed of achieving a world of honesty where she'd never be hurt in such ways again. At her father's funeral, an aunt she got along with moderately well when her father was alive but never really got to know all that much decided to take her in, half out of concern and care, and of a feeling of obligation towards her deceased brother.

Having returned to a depressed state, Tierney was hard to communicate with, she would virtually never communicate other than greeting and formal talking even if her aunt's household was luxury compared to what she was used to. But not many efforts were made on either side to bond with the other, leading to silence reigning in the aunt's household as the aunt would often spend time outside. However, after a year or two she gradually got tired of Tierney's attitude even if she studied and did housework properly without being requested to, and decided to have her spill the beans on why she's acting so miserable.

As she heard Tierney's story, what started annoying her next was the weakness in her, the self-pity and lack of fight in her attitude. She decided to force Tierney back up by introducing her to a way of making her wish come true, and that was magic. Her aunt was a magician whose goal was to achieve higher standing than most people to never have to struggle with life, but as her small, discrete cabal would be likely to not help Tierney's goal, she took the role teaching her magical knowledge and must-knows by herself in private out of growing care she refused to show too much, as pride run strong in the family.

Her ways of teaching were harsh and threw Tierney off at times, but it was needed and with time Tierney learned and slowly but surely got better, until a day five years later where Tierney was thrown out, deemed to be back on her feet and ready to work her ass off for her goal herself. Although confused at first, Tierney decided that the best start point would be joining a cabal to acquire more knowledge and means.


RANK: N/A
Probitatem641: “Nature will reclaim honesty and condemn your lies.”


The Fairy with Turquoise Hair: Tierney's magic is symbolic of the Fairy with Turquoise Hair, who in tales would admonish the wooden puppet Pinocchio so that he wouldn't behave improperly, but in turn provided guidance and protection. Through hard work and maintained good behaviour, Tierney is granted limited control over wooden and water elements whilst her hair turns a similar turquoise colour.

Her spiritual item is a replica of Aaron's rod, a wooden staff with several floral decoration at its head allowing her control to bring trees and wooden statues to life on fertile land, using them as minions sometimes provided with wooden weapons of their own, and manipulate water when in an abundant body of water.

The control over wood limits itself to only being able to control and reshape existing wood; control tree branches as vines to capture an enemy, barriers, or even weapons with the most notable one being a bow. And finally, she can create a familiar made of wood, its strength would depend on the number of trees it was created from as the more trees are added to its base body, the stronger and heavier it becomes. However, she cannot create the familiar on the spot and need to properly focus to create it.

As far as water goes, she can not control it without her spiritual item whereas she has, although limited, control over wood without Aaron's rod. Controlling water allows her to move water around in bubbles in an attempt to choke enemies, and pressurise water to cut through things.

She prefers reshaping from trees or solid blocks of wood, though she is capable of bringing scraps together even though they're harder to keep the shape than solid blocks. But in case where she isn't surrounded by nature, Tierney carries around a wooden violin case with a string-less violin for the purpose of always being armed, with strings hidden underneath the violin.


OTHER ABILITIES:

Sewing.

From the poor environment she grew up in, Tierney has talent in sewing and patching up clothes even if she's somewhat of a klutz and always gets needles in her fingers.

General housework.

She does actually enjoy cleaning and cooking, and many other general house tasks that many would quickly be annoyed with.

Violin playing.

From keeping around a well-maintained violin offered by her aunt as insurance to always have a weapon on her in case of danger, she has learnt with time how to actually use the instrument the way it was meant to be used. Her violin skills are, however, completely self-taught and pretty amateur as she has never had the money to afford taking any lessons from professionals.

Test Post:

Right, first time actually writing up a magician, so I can't say I'm entirely satisfied but I feel that's good enough for what I could do. Feel free to mention anything that doesn't makes sense, and many thanks to Jack and Iva for their help with the spells and history respectively

I'm not entirely convinced what good it would do her to carry around a violin case worth of wood as a source of insurance. Never the less everything else checks out fine.
