[b]Appearance:[/b] 
[hider=Tatiana][img]https://i.imgur.com/jzsU0vY.jpg[/img][/hider]
Just glancing at Tatiana is enough to catch the general vibe she gives off. The girl’s posture is loose and relaxed, and she generally takes on a curved stance in some way, be it slumping over in a chair or cocking her hip to one side whilst upright. Either way, it is relatively uncommon to see Tatiana in that fully ready ‘at attention’ stance that one might expect of an inquisitor, lest such formalities were required. Despite this lax display, though, Tatiana tends to her appearance quite a bit. Her skin is rather fair, commonly enough for such a diluted bloodline in the Varyan expanse. Tatiana is visibly much less than one might expect in terms of a warrior’s body. She maintains a slim figure, with spindly limbs.

What appears even more readily presentable is Tatiana’s rounded visage and variable hairstyle. Her jet black locks curve to perfectly frame around her face, but otherwise maintain a straightened length falling just down to her shoulders. While it isn’t uncommon for Tatiana to allow her hair to be kept in such a straight and simple style, she is also known to tie her hair up in an updo, offering a much more practical look when it comes to trekking through plains of ice. Her emerald eyes appear prominent, visible through even the fiercest blizzards.

It isn’t always that Tatiana wears her inquisitor’s uniform, but even outside of such a regal outfit, Tatiana tends to dress herself quite elegantly. Often times, a plain white shirt, flaring slightly out at its end meets a pair of blue pants trimmed with a gold lining. Tatiana matches such an outfit with an officer’s coat of a similar blue and gold. She holds the article in rather high regard, under the impression its a sort of heirloom that her family has had for all too long now.

[b]Personality: [/b]
Despite the strange circumstances that led to her becoming a priestess, Tatiana is rather gracious for her position- at least, it appears that way externally. She is friendly to all her fellow inquisitors, but it isn’t difficult to see that there is something off about her when it comes to actual operations. Outside of heavy mission sort of scenarios, Tatiana is much more light-hearted. It isn’t uncommon that she would throw around witty remarks and jokes despite the context of the situation. Of all the inquisitors, Tatiana may be viewed as one of the least matured. This extends even to her position as an ordained priest. She tends to view her position rather unseriously, despite the serious duty that her work encompasses. Even with this attitude, Tatiana rarely leaves her duties unaccomplished or sloppily done, but a certain hesitation accompanies her all too often, especially when she is tasked with carrying out Varya’s will.

Deep down, Tatiana has always struggled with her devotion to Varya. While she doesn’t dare dissent, she isn’t fully accepting of his conqueror practices. It is especially conflicting for her as she never fully accepted the ideals that her Lanostran homeland embodied either. This dissonance in her mind leaves Tatiana quite conflicted, and she thus views herself as something of an outcast and her outgoing practices act as her struggling to find a place for her in the companionship she forges. In the eyes of the public, Tatiana is often considered a very generous, moral, and people-minded person. This is juxtaposed by her abilities, however, leaving a certain air of concern exhibited by those in her presence. Strangely enough, while Tatiana is rather uninhibited socially, this can be turned down a notch when she finds herself away from her squad. She has grown far more comfortable with herself around her fellow inquisitors, but in public, things tend to be a slight bit different.

[b]Background: [/b]
The young Thana (given the Varyan name of Tatiana) was born to a rather wealthy Lanostran family with parents emblematizing the epitome of duality. Her mother was a prominent Lanostran combatant, while her father was the perfect example of a man of science. It was the way of his family, and as such, he too, was also a journeyman in his field. Perpetuating the stereotype, Tatiana lived a rather pampered life with both her parents loving her greatly. There was more to the family than the lovely front than that, however.

Despite the boisterously prideful figure Tatiana’s mother was, she came to openly accept the idea that Lanostre would bow willingly Varyan sovereignty. Perhaps it was because of the consequences of dissent or perhaps it was simply reciprocal respect for allowing Lanostran warriors like herself to rank highly in the military. As time went on, though, it became clear to a young Tatiana that what spurred her mother’s subordination: fear… Thus, a false nationalism was born into the Leviatan family, which would inevitably lead to the coercion of Tatiana to pursue a profession as an inquisitor. Her feelings on the subject were rather mixed, but it seemed clear that she wasn’t the soldier her mother was. Even despite this clear ineptitude, when Tatiana finally came of age, she was sent out into the glacial wastes to slay her own demon.

The perilous journey was extremely hard on the girl. Before she had even made the trek to the black glacier alongside her father, Tatiana was already worn to her last breath. While other Lanostran children had honed skills, it appeared Tatiana was no match. When finally facing down one of the alien-like creatures, Tatiana stood weakly against its might. Within a short minute, she was almost horribly rended by the beast, obviously outmatched. Her cries for assistance seemed to fall on deaf ears, however. For some reason, Tatiana’s father held back despite his promises to rescue his child. It seemed just for the moment, he refused, intent on letting Tatiana fend for herself. 

In that final moment, Tatiana felt herself falter. It was her end and there was nothing she could do. All that filled her panicking mind were rageful thoughts. How could her father have let this happen? As the creature tore forward in a final assault, Tatiana stopped herself, a moment of clarity rushing through her like an inventor’s insight. One word came to mind: Stop.

And with that simple thought, it seemed that just for a moment Tatiana’s inevitable fate was delayed. That single second delay was all Tatiana’s father needed to step in. Pride emanating from his very being. This was the first moment Tatiana had finally learned of her talents with Ether, and what followed was a long conversation with his father about their ancestors: a very particular T’saeren research team. Having finally found the prodigious talent of his daughter, Tatiana’s father devoted countless hours into raising his daughter as an inquisitor. He knew she may have the talents he witnessed in her trial at the Black Glacier, but he never told Tatiana what power she might have held.

The young woman was then nearly forced into her new lifestyle in the Red Seminary despite any reluctance. While she didn’t leave that day with the title of R'heon, Tatiana came out knowing of her large ether pool. Only weeks passed before Tatiana was shipped off to the Red Seminary. Her life completely turned upside down.

[b]Talents/Ethereal Abilities:[/b] 

[b]Demonic Summoner -[/b] Deep within Tatiana lies an extremely powerful pool of ether. The largely untapped potential within her seems focused wholly on one particular ability: the enslavement and domination of the demons of the Black Glacier. Before the discovery of such, Tatiana’s time in the Red Seminary was just as she lived beforehand. A great deal of her time was spent trying to discover what abilities she held, but she was unsuccessful up until the point at which she was allowed to take the pilgrimage back to the Black Glacier. The extent of this ability is dizzyingly variable. The common principles shared by all summoners are the ability to command demonic entities at their will, and summon them to the summoner’s location. This combination allows for the ‘capturing’ of a demon in which a summoner wrests control from the demon’s mind away from the creature itself.

Tatiana has found herself capable of enslaving one of these creatures to come at her beck and call so far. It appears alien-like, bearing massive curled horns and fur tufts in a seemingly patched randomly around its body. One might say its visage almost resembles a goat’s, while its long tail resembles that of a rat. While unable to manipulate the world in nonphysical manners like other demons have the ability to do, Tatiana’s beast has immense physical prowess when it comes to both power and speed. Because of this, Tatiana acts as something of a commander for her frontline fighter.

[b]Symbiotic -[/b] Tatiana had spent a great deal of time in the Red Seminary believing herself to have no supernatural abilities. This almost got to the point where she felt useless in comparison to her comrades who each flourished in their own fields. This all changed when Tatiana discovered her excellence in working at the Black Glacier. Ever since her talent finally came to light, Tatiana has completely reworked her tactical abilities. In combat, it is often seen that Tatiana works almost flawlessly in conjunction with her summoned beasts, both her and the creatures working off of one another's strengths and weaknesses. One might even go as far as to compare them to symbiotic organisms.

[hider=Character Relationships]
[@Drakey]
Rodion’s hard exterior is by no means a barrier Tatiana isn’t willing to breach for camaraderie. While he may not be as responsive as the other inquisitors, Tatiana gives him no less of a chance. In fact, it might seem she’s even more interested in befriending him as she sees it as a sort of challenge. This tall task is particularly accomplished by engaging Rodion in a manner Tatiana believes would most interest him. Drawing parallels between his work and her own, Tatiana often offers little bouts of challenge to Rodion in a sort of friendly competition, always pitting her demons against his mechanics to see who can accomplish more.

[@deathbringer]
Tatiana and Astraea have always had a complex dynamic. As Astraea bares the title of R’heon and Tatiana baring that of a summoner, the two are almost polar opposites in aspects of combat. While Tatiana tends to be quite accepting of Astraea’s disposition, save for a bit of discomfort, Astraea isn’t as much a fan of Tatiana’s work. This leaves for an awkward attempt at friendship on Tatiana’s part. While she does her best to accept her cohort fully, and would do anything to save her, she always had the feeling Astraea wouldn’t do the same if roles were reversed.

[@Sisyphus]
Hassan and Tatiana are definitely close, perhaps even the closest pair in the inquisition. Tatiana finds solace in the comforting nature of a similar minded individual, enjoying his jovial presence. Both Hassan and her have their vices, and it is because of that imperfect nature that she is drawn to his company. This, of course, fails to mention her intrigue for his ether abilities and his [i]inability[/i] to properly influence his fellow inquisitors.

[@The Angry Goat]
A friend like Stina is always welcome to Tatiana’s company. Viewed by the priestess as the pinnacle of camaraderie, Stina is a close ally and friend in Tatiana’s eyes. Through his invictus attitude, Tatiana rallies with Stina, closely associating with him in battle in a sort of ‘You’ve got my back, I’ve got yours’ way. His welcoming attitude towards allies really brings joy to the priestess as she always seeks to bond with her fellow inquisitors, but the nationalistic ideals Stina harbors can tentatively bring an unnerved attitude to Tatiana when the two are together.
