SD Part Nine
/Back on October first, I discussed the main character in the seventh blog post for this project. For today’s ninth post, I am ready to discuss another viewpoint character, the MC’s foil that goes through similar experiences, but the way they react sets them apart. Despite the circumstances and their personal choices, including those that manipulated events in the background, they can find a resolution that satisfies their desires, to a point.
Now for introductions. Tinesi is an elf like the rest of the main cast. She is older than the MC, Lyra, but only a decade at most, and that is nothing to a being who can live up to 1500 years. Tinesi trained to become a scout for her village just like Lyra, except her focus on ranged combat with a bow set her apart from the rest of her class. She prefers using magic to enhance and modify her body or weapons instead of flashy magical bursts of energy.
After she faced her own stories inciting incident she left home in pursuit of those responsible for her loss and that is when the organization recruited her to help them fight the dark mages along with the magical beasts they spawned. When she is not doing an assignment with her superior, she is working in unison with her best friend, Kailu.
This male elf suffered at the hands of the dark mages experimenting on fellow elves in their mad desire to resurrect their fallen god. The only time he will talk with his voice is alone with Tinesi. The rest is shared communication via sign language. He possesses two magical blades. One can syphon energy from the target while the other uses the same energy to double the power back at the opponent. The contrast between Lyra’s passive companion, the spirit wolf vs the aggressive fighter supporting Tinesi.
Above all, she is committed and respects authority. Humor rarely causes her to lose her cool and is more likely to ignore any irrelevant comments made by Lyra. Trained to be an observant scout, her descriptions will be scene detailed with an emphasis of tracks and movement in the wilderness. She hates to waste words, and that is reflective in her dialog. In her free time, you are like likely to find her fletching new arrows for her quiver since it allows her to observe nature and keep her hands busy.
In a world of changes that leave the readers wondering what could happen next, Tinesi will be there as reliable driven woman along with her companion, Kailu.
