For every bit of innocence and kindness that beams forth from Valeska, her familiar Tzerny matches it with callousness and cynicism. Tzerny is a very talkative and opinionated bird, unafraid to speak in the presence of others. Filled with guidance, goads, chiding, and occasional selfish vitriol, Tzerny is ostensibly filled with mysteries and wisdom far beyond the age of a normal bird. Usually, however, he is just looking for a good meal.
One of the oddities about the relationship between Valeska and Tzerny is that it is not always clear who is the master of whom. Normally, the two maintain a hierarchy similar to most spellcasters, with the witch in control and the familiar following. But on occasion, Valeska grows silent and Tzerny seems to speak for her. During these fleeting periods, her behavior seems dictated by the occult passerine.
Yet even when everything appears normal, Tzerny does not shy away from making his feelings known, protesting against Valeska, acting superior to her, or demonstrating confusion at trying to see things from a land-bound, mammalian perspective. He is both Valeska’s greatest guardian and her staunchest critic.
