[b]ALAIRA TAENN[/b]

Today, was a new day.
What a stupid cliche. Isn't every day new? No matter, there's no time to debate dumb cliches, or some kind of philosophy! Today was a day of action, excitement! And above all, [b]"New opponents."[/b] Alaira Taenn said to herself, quietly as she watched the large crowd of students come in. Today marked her seventh day here, and the day she would finally be allowed to take lessons after a whole week of helping guards and assorted staff with random work. Apparently, since a new wave was expected so soon the Electromancy teacher thought it would be better to wait to teach her since he didn't seem to keen on teaching the same lessons twice. That didn't mean she wasn't fed up with doing dishes... And she almost had a panic attack when she felt the pink-haired one try poking around in her head... and apparently the gargoyles don't like being poked.

She had done little to endear herself to the college staff. She had no talent for chores, but an amazing talent for losing her temper and breaking things. She had just about lost all the money she had replacing the various chairs and pottery that had become the undeserving victims of her frequent hissy fits. While she was loath to admit it, she had that... Lizard to thank for allowing her to stay. He was probably the most reasonable and patient person she knew. She still didn't trust him... She figured that she didn't have any real seniority over these new students, so she picked up her pack (Mostly filled with her armor save the greaves), and headed towards the crowd. These damn Greaves were extremely uncomfortable most of the time, but she couldn't really afford good boots, and tthis armor was all she had of her mother... Anyway, opening ceremony.

She took a moment to study the crowd, and smirked. She was likely the tallest one here, so she had an easy time surveying the crowd. There was a huge variety of people, including a few things she hadn't seen before. Was that some kind of rock creature? Heh, that one might actually pose a challenge! Apparently some winged girl fell out of the sky. Succubus? No, tail was too reptilian... and then she took off her hood. Was she some kind of human/eysire hybrid? How would they even... D-did she hatch? Or... best not to dwell on that. Shaking herself a bit, Khan began his speech. Alright, dinner is soon. Awesome. Would she get first dibs? She had been doing quite a lot of dishes... Anyway, questions? Eh, Alaira didn't have any. But the Half-Eysire did. But wait, some crazy little Snow-Elf had apparently been spooked. 

Well, it wasn't really her job, but she should probably help the poor girl out a bit. Her way. She walked towards the front, passing the Half-Eysire on the way. She patted the girl on the shoulder as she passed, looking over her own shoulder as she spoke. [b]"If someone attacks you, hit them 'till they stop. Simple."[/b] She said matter-of-factly. She continued, all the way to the front. She reached down (Quite a long distance, the dirl was half her size) and pulled her back onto her feet. Forcefully, but with care not to harm her. [b]"Hey, Calm down. Nothing's gonna hurt ya. And if anything tries, I'll rip 'em in half. Okay?"[/b] She said to the girl. While not exactly soothing there wasn't an ounce of hostility or annoyance in her voice. [b]"We should go back to the crowd, Khan's a busy guy."[/b] Oddly enough this girl was one of the few she wasn't thinking of beating up. I mean, come on! Where's the honor in kicking the shit out of someone half your size! It wouldn't even be fun. Course, the girl could probably move rocks with her mind or something, so she tried not to underestimate her. Well, off to a fine start, aren't we?
