History: Tiaathque was born in the north. At a young age she loved to build and create. While she appears to be a normal Elf, she's... not quite right.

She walks with a slouch but will stand straight to her full 6'7" when asserting herself. Her crest is cut close to her head. Her fair skin shows little sign of her aristocratic breeding.
