""Of course it's beautiful. I made it, after all.""

- Tanya

Tanya is an Essencia Summoner-Marionettist serving as one of the Guild officers in Ateleista. She's one of the newer officers along with her sister, Thalia.

Appearance
More often than not, the first thing anyone will notice upon seeing Tanya is her crown of golden orange hair - large curls that brush around her small face and ends around her shoulders - if not the huge white bow-headband she wears on them. Her hair is a striking contrast to her rather pale skin with even softer facial features.

Her top consists of two layers - the inner layer being a long-sleeved blouse with petal cuffs, draped over by a dark-colored shirt with split bell sleeves and golden buttons. Her top is tucked beneath salmon pink pumpkin shorts tied with a white bow. She wears brownish black leggings and wedged victorian boots.

Tanya makes it a point to never forget her white hooded cloak when going on missions. For some reason, she’s also always seen wearing gloves, whatever her outfit may be.

Personality
It isn’t difficult to see Tanya’s unbothered and laid back stature, whether it be in combat or just inside the guild’s quarters where equally anything can happen. An odd juxtaposition, come to think of it, mainly due to her turbulent predisposition to riling up unsuspecting company via her words or tangents of ideas.

Unlike her unmoving, doe-eyed dolls with blank stares which are often said to be reminiscent of her, Tanya is actually one of the typically chatty guild-people who’ll straight up have a conversation with someone random when she feels like it, sometimes, speaking several truths in all honesty without much regard if it's apt for the situation. She does mean well, even though it's not always received that way, as she’s more often than not arguing an opposition.

Despite sounding nitpicky and rude at times, Tanya doesn’t really take things personally often, and is surprisingly very tolerant of people and their decisions. It’s difficult to determine where her loyalties lie beyond her blood relations, or if she’s joking or not, but all in all, it does look like she’s harmless. A difficult person, sure, but harmless. Even if she does go lengths just to prove you wrong.

Background
Tanya grew up in the confines of a rather unconventional theater in Ventis, as the second child of a Natura and an Essencia known for their satirical renditions of prominent plays and their own controversial works.

Growing up in a theater surrounded by very passionate artists and play enthusiasts, Tanya and her twin, Thalia, developed a deep appreciation for the arts, with Tanya being enamored with creating several trinkets with her hands - mostly props, costumes, and dolls - used for productions. It was a typically fun childhood, and for the most part, she and her sister were allowed to do almost everything they pleased.

However, Tanya also knew that her parents weren’t just playwrights, and that the theater isn’t just a theater. Her parents, particularly her father, were also deeply involved in the kingdom’s political affairs. Political tension in Ventis soared as time went by, and before she knew it, Tanya found herself traveling to Fernis with her mother and her sister, arriving at the door of a so-called “family friend” whom their parents had told countless stories about for a long time. The door, though wooden and unappealing at the moment of their arrival, bore a striking insignia.

“Ateleista?” Tanya said, confused.

“Yes. You’ll be staying here for now.”

Trivia

 * Tanya is Thalia’s identical, mirror image twin.
 * She’s left-handed.
 * Has naturally straight hair.  Curling her hair everyday was an effort to stop people from confusing her and Thalia with each other.
 * Awkward eyebrow game kinda looks like disheveled cheetos chunks on her forehead. Isn’t really bothered by it but Thalia insists they should have bangs to cover them up lol
 * Her handwriting is atrocious.
 * Almost always wears gloves, even if they’re mismatched.
 * Never leaves for a mission without her cloak.
