Backstory
Terris grew up on a farm where vocal communication was rarely needed due to everyone being family on the same wavelength of one another. As a result, Terris tends towards nonverbal gestures and has even learned sign language, although she is still capable of speaking perfectly fine. After her father was killed by a pair of jumpy thieves, her mother made the decision to take justice upon the one she had caught, and move to the capital of Olai, bringing a single farm animal with them and selling the others. There, she made friends with a young woman, a guard named Saiyel, two young boys about her age, as well as finding another friend in a creature she named Leirei. On her 15th birthday, she got his first job as an apprentice to the city's more famous apothecary, Jodel. In addition, she began taking light combat training geared towards magic defense. Things were nice for a while, before she began to realize something.
While most of the people in town were nice... she never quite felt 'safe' out and about. Ever since that night, she'd been wary of people who would harm her or her family. And the more she thought about it, the bigger the knot in her heart became. Until one night, when she had been awake, she heard something shuffling out her window. She heard a voice. A familiar pair of voices. Ones that talked to another about 'easy money'.
Without a word, and without much sound, she scared those thieves-to-be off with her magic. But ever since, that wall around her heart grew taller and sturdier. And her demeanor grew from a genuine appreciation for life, to a cautious performance to ensure she's never hurt that way again. She would not kill as her mother had, but she would show little mercy beyond that.
Would she love to drop that guard and let herself be a vulnerable little girl again? Absolutely.
Will she do it? Most likely not.
