aldersprigNote to self: Need a better way of showing long vowels, that can be done with high ascii.
Tīrrēkkē (TyrTire-reek-key)
Age: mid-teens
Female.
Appearance:
Tīrrēkkē has long black hair which she wears, generally, in a relatively simple double-plait. Her skin is a warm olive color, close to this http://humanae.tumblr.com/post/60074057787. Her eyes are so dark a brown as to appear black.
She has a short nose with a bit of an upturn, a very pointed chin, and a high forehead - in short, she looks ethnically like the epitome of the Calenyena. In keeping with that, she's broad-shouldered, wide-hipped, but not all that tall - five foot 7, most of the length in her torso, not her legs.
History: Her father and mother are high-ranking engineers in His(check) Majesty's Army; they met while planning out a new road system for Lanamer. She grew up affluent, and took the qualifying tests early for higher education. Her parents assume she, too, will be an engineer; at the moment, so does she.
Personality: Tīrrēkkē is scholarly, not so much shy as uncertain of herself in new social situations. In each new school, she found herself with a couple close friends, but she's been moved up in level so many times, and many of her friends were scholarship sorts. That makes her a bit uncertain about many things about the world. She's inquisitive, and likes to know how things work; her adventurousness has always been balanced by her desire to be a good student.
Character Arc notes: Tīrrēkkē needs to find herself. She needs to learn what she's good at, and where she's going with it. She also has a lot of understanding about people and the world to go through, and she needs to find an outlset for her uncertain and burgeoning idealism.

Pronunciation?
Date: 2013-10-11 03:43 am (UTC)"tyr" doesn't have any obvious English pronunciation. I'd tend to pronounce that as… well, I have to use a phonetic notation to write it here, so IPA: /tɪr/, with about the vowel of "hit" – unusual or unknown in Eng. before syllable-final /r/ – or maybe /tir/, rhyming with "beer". Did you mean /taɪ(ə)r/, like "tire"?

Date: 2013-10-11 10:21 am (UTC)"Tire" is closer to the sound I was trying to reach, yeah. The sound is weird in my mouth. :-/
