Personality:
Tas is an odd sort. With great power comes great insanity after all. She's not really attached to the physical, humanish world and can be rather detached and unresponsive to most people. It's accurate to say she gets along better with animals. And lay down with dogs... well wake up acting a little less human. Tas highly resembles the Jays in her title. She's distracted, a bit of a chatter box and likes things with a bit of chaos. Constantly moving, she says a lot more with body language then she does with words.She talks a lot but says little, and while her job may imply dishonesty, she doesn't lie, ever. She just obfuscates a lot. More intra-personally, Tas is a person of extremes. She keeps people at arms reach or too close, with very little space in between. She values honesty and communication, but above all, freedom. Above all else, Tas values being free to do as you will and values it above all else.
Backstory:
Torinth's endless wars have taken a toll on the nation, but none more so then Torinth's magic folk. During the wars mages who practiced the darker arts, or refused to serve the "republic". One of those mages was a young woman who loved nature and the woods and used her magic to connect with them, and she refused to give up that connection. So she was beaten to near death and left as an example. Phantasma awoke to a friendly face, a mage from a neighboring country, who introduced her to an ancient order, The witches of the air. Founded on the idea of the connective nature of all things. She studied and learned for years with them, until she was offered a place on their senior council, becoming the Blue-jay of Torinth, bound agelessly to the land as the steward of its wilds.Now with the rebellion, the bluejay has seen an opportunity to reclaim knowledge lost during the purge, and exact a little revenge on those who ordered it.

Alignment: RepublicSocial
Occupation: Queen
Relationships:
Allaister Rothstone - Her beloved husband and hard-working king, the bond between the two seems to grow stronger the longer they are separated...or so it seems to the public. Dhalia harbors no ill will towards her love, but that does not stop her from missing him and desiring his company.
Estelle Rothstone - The perfect mother-daughter relationship in the beginning, a happy child with a loving family...that all changed when she learned of the politics behind everything. After Estelle lost her sight, Dhalia attempted to control her daughter's actions - forbidding her from leaving the castle in fear of her daughter's life...but that only drove the little bird farther from the nest. Dhalia was once very protective of her little girl, but once it was obvious that Estelle was blooming into a bitter warrior and not a gentle princess Dhalia learned to let go - as hard as it was. Estelle and her barely speak on the rare occasion the two even cross paths.
Prince Rothstone - Coming Soon!
Personality: Kind and caring to everyone regardless of class, Dhalia sees the good in every person - nearly to a fault. She has never made the same mistake twice when it came to mistakes of character judgement, taking each failure as a way to grow as an effective ruler. Always willing to listen to all points of an argument before judging, the queen has been seen as an inspiration to the people. Unfortunately, where some see her as an inspiration others see her as a tool used against the people - a way that the king can pacify his subjects and delay the rebellion.
BackstoryAs a young noblewoman in Torinthia, Dhalia was always expected to marry into a higher-standing noble family. She was taught at a young age how to entertain and converse with guests, all in an attempt to pair her off with a man in the future. Dhalia did not resent her family for this, it was her duty to ensure her family's status rose (or that's how she viewed it anyway). It wasn't until the age of 19 that the chance meeting with the future-king sparked, which would soon turn to romance and ensure her family attains the highest respect in the land. After a short courtship, the two were married; a year passing before their first child was born.
Though her husband's prowess with weaponry and tactics were sought by many, Dahlia's way with words made her the perfect candidate to oversee the throne during her husband's absence. Though his diplomatic visits strained their relationship many times, the two never seemed to bicker or fight about the issue in front of others not even their children. Though Torinth became wealthy due to Allaister's considerable efforts, many lower-class citizens voiced their opinions. The rumors that swirled about the king troubled the queen, but her faith never wavered. She did her best to quell the rising tide of doubt and anger in the kingdom - but there is only so much one woman can do.
While raising her children, Dhalia spent as much time as she could with them - knowing that the rising tension between classes would keep her and the royal advisors busy. Of course this was true, as the children got older they saw less of their beloved parents and more of the maids and tutors.
