Death of Innocence

Out of all my characters, Tebetha is the one that had the most character development, for better and for worse. On the left:

Tebetha Haiyden.
Bright eyed, bushy tailed idealist. Very innocent and naive. Extremely sheltered and raised by her grandfather to become very learned, loyal, respect family traditions and be honorable. She constantly sort his approval and feared failure, and was a damright perfectionist. believed (foolishly) there was good in everyone.

enter 6 months of one hell of a s**t storm and we have on the right.

Tebetha Orindale, Empress of the Golden Kingdoms, Queen of Gilshire.
True shes still loyal, honorable and kind but questions family traditions AND history though still holds respect for it. Quickly learnt that the hideous monsters and villains in books were a shadow of what they are in reality. Though she did rescue most of her family, gained a husband and a (technically two) kingdom/s she lost a lot more than she's hoped. Also a valuable lesson learnt, you cant reason with madness (tur) or stubbornness (aun) but perhaps persist patience could whittle it down.
