Tiesa is a slight half-elven woman with dark hair and piercing blue eyes. She is dressed in a worn blouse and skirt with a sturdy pair of boots on her feet. Her hair is long and a bit unkempt, with several scrimshawed beads threaded through a few strands. She carries a boarding pike that she uses as a staff, which has a variety of carvings in the handle and an assortment of bones, shells, and feathers tied near the hook. She wears a scrimshawed pendant around her neck, which displays an albatross in flight. She is often seen in the company of a scruffy looking seagull, which will perch on her shoulder on occasion.

Having been treated as an outsider most of her life, Tiesa is a bit aloof and stand-offish. It takes quite a while for her to develop a strong relationship. However, once she forms a bond with someone, she is very loyal to them, and will make a concerted effort to protect or assist them. She generally tries to live a good life, but has no regard for civic laws or regulation. She has too often seen how they can be abused. She has a strong tie to the sea, and would completely happy spending the rest of her life at sea.

Tiesa grew up in a small fishing village on the outskirts of the Shackles. She was raised by her human father, who worked as a fisherman. She never knew her mother. Rumor was that her mother was an elven pirate, who spent a night carousing with her father one time when her ship was in port. The ship sailed the next day, and Tiesa’s father never saw her mother again. About a year later, Tiesa’s father found his baby daughter in a basket on his doorstep. There was no note, but tied to the basket was a small scrimshaw pendant with a picture of an albatross. Tiesa wears the pendant to this day.

Tiesa’s father was a loving parent, and did his best to provide for his daughter. Being only half-human, Tiesa was viewed by many of the village folk as an outsider, and treated her as a pariah. The one person who treated her well was the local hedge witch, “Aunt” Meg, who was a bit of an outcast herself. Tiesa spent a good deal of time with Aunt Meg growing up, especially when her father was out on the boat working. Her mystical powers began manifesting when she was a teenager. Tiesa was frightened of this at first, but Aunt Meg, knowing a bit about these sorts of things, was able to work her through the changes. Aunt Meg worked with Tiesa to master her powers, and even taught her a few tricks of the trade.

As she grew older, Tiesa found herself spending more time staring out at the sea. The pettiness and tedium of the small village eventually got to her, and she decided to leave. She has struck out to find her fortune, and make something of herself in the wider world.

SQ: alertness, empathic link, share spells
Class Skills: Fly and perception are class skills.
Empathic Link (Su): The master has an empathic link with his familiar to a 1 mile distance. The master can communicate empathically with the familiar, but cannot see through its eyes. Because of the link's limited nature, only general emotions can be shared. The master has the same connection to an item or place that his familiar does.
Improved Evasion (Ex): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a familiar takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.
Alertness (Ex): While a familiar is within arm's reach, the master gains the Alertness feat (+2 Perception and +2 Sense Motive).
Share Spells: The witch may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her familiar (as a touch spell) instead of on herself. A witch may cast spells on her familiar even if the spells do not normally affect creatures of the familiar's type (magical beast).
Witch's Familiar (Ex): A witch must commune with her familiar each day to prepare her spells. Familiars store all of the spells that a witch knows, and a witch cannot prepare a spell that is not stored by her familiar. A witch's familiar begins play storing all of the 0-level witch spells plus three 1st-level spells of the witch's choice. The witch also selects a number of additional 1st-level spells equal to her Intelligence modifier to store in her familiar. At each new witch level, she adds two new spells of any spell level or levels that she can cast (based on her new witch level) to her familiar. A witch can also add additional spells to her familiar through a special ritual (see sidebar).
Store Spells: Starting at 1st level, a witch's familiar stores all of the spells that the witch knows. This does not allow the familiar to cast these spells or use spell-trigger or spell completion magic items.
