Personal history

Threnody was born the oldest of seven siblings and is the only girl. Her mother, Keifa gave birth to her while she and her husband Charn were on the run from Infernals. At risk of being discovered and nearly dying, Keifa named her Threnody, meaning "a beautiful song at the brink of death." Miraculously, they were able to escape undetected.
 
However, when Threnody was only eight years old, she sensed another Infernal mob nearby while she was picking berries for dinner. Racing back home, she saw her family, now with nine members, rushing to their caravan to flee. She helped her youngest brother, Brax onto the moving caravan, but was unable to make it herself as an Infernal captured her. With no other choice, Charn leaped onto her captor and tore his throat out, only to be covered by more Infernals and murdered while Keifa pulled Threnody onto the caravan. The scream Threnody issued as she saw her father getting murdered sticks with her to this day.
 
Continuing on the move, Threnody was in a market trading when she saw information regarding Ioth Academy. Knowing that she and her family could use more knowledge in order to survive, she wrote a letter to the academy explaining her past and how her skills were a perfect complement for the magic-based curriculum. She was accepted and placed into the Great Hall for her first three years.
 
Showing her aptitude for fighting, her bestial nature gave way and sensing that she was losing focus, her teachers and she mutually agreed to a transfer to The Grove, an environment that would remind Threnody why she was there in the first place. Since then, she has dedicated herself to her studies, unwinding with family meals with her friends and dancing for entertainment and morale boosting, even gaining a fan club for her Bardi B persona.

Threnody was homeschooled until she attended Ioth Academy.

To support her family, she often worked as a hunter/tracker for hire as a kid, having been trained by her father before his death.

Mental Trauma

Due to her father's sacrifice, Threnody is constantly pushing herself to be the best, but holds herself back sometimes due to being afraid of failure. Despite knowing that there was nothing she could have done to prevent his death, the survivor's guilt haunts her to this day and has caused her to make very questionable decisions on occasion.

Best friends and protector of Hilde, especially after her 4th-year transfer to The Grove.

Has a minor, somewhat one-sided rivalry with Athalor due to his dishonorable reputation and his classist attitude.
 
She is also friendly with Meagle, Aoife, and Evamia, the latter she requested as a roommate in Year 4 due to her attempt to tame her normally solitary nature.

Wealth & Financial state

Threnody isn't extremely wealthy, but has sold and traded her hunting acquisitions to allow her family a somewhat comfortable nomadic life.

She much prefers to share what money she does have with others when she has finished taking care of her and her family's needs.

Social Aptitude

Threnody is very friendly despite her beastly looks. Her background from a such a large, tightknit family gives her the ability to be comfortable with large groups of people--an ability that has eased any stage fright when it comes to her dancing. She is more than happy to teach what she knows to whomever shows a genuine interest; her competitive nature only shows when she is fighting.

Mannerisms

She tends to snap furiously when she is nervous in order to literally "snap" herself out of it.

Hobbies & Pets

Threnody loves to cook, preferring to cook for others instead of herself due to the large portions she provides. When she isn't cooking, she is reading up on what she can regarding elemental magic, practicing her calligraphy, and dancing. She also enjoys a good sparring match with anyone who challenges her, as she does not consider any opponent unworthy of her time.

Speech

Threnody has a deep, soothing voice that is accented with subtle growling.
