Tusara Khione's page

Tusara always hated secrets - even as a child. The main reason for this, was the secret her father continued to keep from her - refusing to let her know who her mother was - only to say that the birth of his daughter was the brightest moment of his life. Tusara assumed an elven connection somewhere, as she was born a half-elf, but could never catch her father at a weak moment and thus discover the information. She would take to daydreaming, that her mother was some sort of exotic noble in the absence of any real information, but Tusara could tell that even this fiction was troubling her father greatly, and therefore kept the topic - and her investigations - to herself.

Instead, Tusara worked to occupy herself in other ways. She was blessed to be particularly skilled with magic, but Tusara was no bookworm, and loathed long days in a classroom practicing magic or
getting an education. Instead, she would practice her dancing, loving the smooth and precise movements, desiring to one day be a famous dancer on stage, earning the adoration from a vast audience.

Her plans came to an abrupt halt one day, when she came home late, having decided to practice a particularly tricky set of movements until she had mastered them. Arriving home, Tusara was horror struck
to find her father lying on the floor of their home, covered in wounds with a strange symbol carved into his chest.

Alone, with no family, as well as dealing with the fact that she would never know her mother - the knowledge apparently dying with her father, Tusara tried to deal as best as she could. She became
a little more serious, a little more driven, and devoted her efforts to tracking down the people responsible for her fathers death. Tusara couldn't figure out why her father of all people had been
chosen, and felt guilty that she hadn't been there with him, as well attempting to shake a nagging feeling that she was the indirect cause for the attack.

Deciding to learn how to defend herself, Tusara adopted her dancing into a more militaristic pose, trying to focus on a style of incorporating battle with dance. For Tusara, this meant quick, swift
movements, avoiding blows until she could strike quickly at the sight of a critical opening. Tusara began a cat and mouse game with the cultists, chasing them, and eventually the cultists teasing
their hunter eventually both switching places between predator and prey.

The situation came to a head when Tusara managed to find a small safe house that had been cleared in a hurry. She found a scrap of paper with the same symbol - but this time drawn on a map of Iblydos. Tusara knew a little about the place of course, as well as the coming danger, but she wasn't going to pass up a possible lead - especially if this cult potentially had something to do with the arrival of Ousmariku. Chartering a boat, Tusara set off for the city, determined to foil whatever plans the cult had, as well as bring them to her own personal brand of justice.
