Clothing Style

Tilia hates anything girly or overly feminine in style, and she prefers rougher clothing styles and darker colors, with the exception of yellow. Casually she tends to dress in more punk style clothing, and while in Daliarivon and the fight ring she dresses more steampunk. In general she likes sleeveless tops and pants, preferably shorts that are just above knee level and not too short. She tends to like knee or thigh high boots with complicated patterns or straps, as long as they don't actually interfere with her movement, and she always has metal reinforcement at the toes, soles, and heels since her kicks are her strongest attacks. She tends to like rough/rugged designs or patterns and thinks tears in clothing are more fun, as long as they weren't put there on purpose and they were "earned." He also really likes gloves, especially if they're reinforced or studded for better punches.

Her most common outfit is the ensemble she wears when with Turul fighting in the underground fight ring. This consists of a sturdy, two layered leather sleeveless shirt with crossed laces in the front. She also wears three belts around her abdomen for no particular reason, although she claims it gives her more padding. She wears a metal plate that serves as a hip guard of some kind. She uses her yellow scarf as a belt to loop through the plate and hold it in place, although it's more aesthetic than functional. She also wears black shorts along with her leather boots that reach past her knees and have flexible metal plates criss-crossing around the shins to the ankles. She almost always wears her reinforced gloves when she goes out along with cloth bandages around her forearms, and she never leaves home without her gold family medallion around her neck. While fighting in the ring, she and Turul wear reinforced protective goggles. When not fighting, Tilia prefers to wear them like a headband.


Personality

Tilia is a loud and in-your-face woman always looking for new challengers to thrash. She's aggressive and rude, and she loves to start conflicts for no other reason than to fight. She enjoys being social and seems to love the sound of her own voice, so she can blather on about things even if she has no idea what she's talking about. Tilia has a cheeky and provoking attitude and rarely knows how to turn off her smack talk. It's obvious she's impulsive and often rushes into trouble without thinking ahead. She tends to leave the thinking to her twin brother, but even then she rarely gives him enough time to think before she barrels ahead with reckless abandon. Tilia always seems to have a lot of energy and can rarely sit still for very long, and she also has a rather short attention span and has trouble focusing on anything that's not interesting enough to her. She also has trouble listening to rules or authority, so she can be difficult to cooperate with without spending a lot of time learning her seemingly sporadic behavior. To her siblings though, her lack of cooperation, impatience, and brash approach to problems are somewhat predictable by now, and it's always expected that she won't back down from a challenge and won't take any crap from anyone. Tilia's never really mature enough to remain civil without someone firmly monitoring her.

Tilia gets along relatively well with her siblings, but she wouldn't say she's particularly close with any of them save for her twin, Turul. She knows she usually gets on the nerves of most of her siblings, but none of them dislike each other really. Tilia doesn't relate very much to her only sister, Cyan, but she likes to tease Cy a bit and try to get her to be a little more rough while Cyan does the same in return with trying to get her to be more feminine. When it comes to her mother, Tilia is okay with putting up with the babying and coddling, not because she's fine with it but more because she knows better than to cross mama. Tilia obviously spends the most time with Turul though, and she's usually the one that has to handle social interactions for him. Although the two are usually rough on each other, she does have a soft spot for him and can very easily be provoked into a murderous rampage by things that threaten him. She likes getting into fights with him, although unlike the other fights she starts these are more of excessively rough siblings spats. She's also content with simple pranks on him, although Turul is more clever than her and usually is a few steps ahead of her.

Backstory

Tilia grew up always pushing the limits of everyone she came into contact with, creating a love-hate relationship between her and most of the people in her life. Tilia became accustomed to her infamy rather quickly and enjoyed getting people worked up. She also never wanted to be underestimated just because she was a girl, so she often got into fights with male peers, usually dragging her twin brother into her confrontations and getting them both in trouble. Tilia enjoyed fighting with her twin, and she got them into learning combat techniques against their mother's wishes. Tilia picked up kickboxing techniques in secret, but she convinced her mother to let her take fencing lessons for recreation in order to learn better footwork. She and Turul practiced fighting each other whenever their mother wasn't looking, and she'd often get into trouble at school for using what she'd learned on annoying classmates.

After feeling fully confident with her combat skills, Tilia left home with Turul shortly after graduating (because their mother would have murdered them if they hadn't finished school) and went to Daliarivon to find better fights. She caught wind of an underground fighting ring and convinced Turul to fight along with her for winnings, which they became very successful at. The two have been at this for years now, she being happy with their current status, although she longs for more challenges.


Trivia:

  • Tilia‘s name comes from a genus of trees, and it was mostly picked out to match the sound of Turul’s name.
  • Her hair color was originally going to be more of a blue-ish black color.
  • Even though she's not very bright, she hates being called stupid. She doesn't really care much about other things like being called an idiot or moron, but stupid is a little bit much for her, and she will punch out your teeth for saying so.
  • Gets pretty aggressive toward people who flirt with her brother, since it almost always makes him uncomfortable. She's only mildly eased up on Rosaria for it because Turul actually likes her back.
  • Her favorite color is yellow.
  • Likes playing video games but is often bad at it. She’s very much a loud and angry gamer.
  • Tilia discovered apparently she and Turul have enough fans from the fight ring that she's found there's fanfiction about them online. She thinks it's fucking stupid but also hilarious, and she likes to mention it to Turul because it grosses him out. Goddamn twincest ships...
  • Old Charahub blurb: "One of the Shank twins, she's a daring fighter that would take on the world if her twin didn't keep her in check (for the most part)."
