Character name: Tziri Hana

One-paragraph (100 words) summary of your character.

Hana was a teacher at a hexarchate-run Mwennin orphanage who, on the eve of the Mwennin massacre, agreed to be conscripted into the Vidona in exchange for her safety and that of the children under her care. She stayed long enough to gain some trust and power before betraying the Vidona and fleeing with as many children as she could take. She was recaptured by the Vidona and sentenced to death. The children made it safely to Ersala with help of a Shuos agent, but Hana doesn’t know this.

How did your character first learn of the hexarchate?
Hana was born into the hexarchate.

Why did your character join this rebellion?
Because fuck the Vidona, really. Because she was a pawn trying to keep her people safe by making a devil’s bargain, but realized in the end the hexarchate was just going to use her anyway. When a rift conveniently opened just before her execution date, she didn’t think twice about joining the rebellion. She also sees it as redemptive for the torture she did participate in as a Vidona agent, even though she was only active for a few months.

What type of role would your character play in a mission?
Hana is unexpectedly tough given how soft she looks, so she’s good at hitting people who think she’s weak. She has a strong stomach for violence so long as kids aren’t involved. She can also facilitate remembrances as an ex-Vidona and ‘play the part’ if they needed a scary Vidona to bluff their way into/out of danger.

What kinds of missions would your character like to see?
Hana wants to hit some baddies to get out her aggression. Beyond that, she’d be good for a honeypot or legitimate if accidental romance. She’d also love to sabotage any Vidona and/or remembrances she comes across, whether through stealth/infiltration or just outright hitting things with the hexarchate equivalent of a baseball bat.

What is your character's secret dream or desire, the one they've never told anyone?
Hana was an orphan herself and knows very little of her Mwennin heritage, though she kept safe a heron luckstone that supposedly came from her real family. She’s always wanted to learn more about where she came from but never felt it was safe to say that out loud or even share it with others.

How will your character die?
Hana would 100% do something stupid if she thought it would save a child. She absolutely would use herself as a shield if it came down to that. She can also be weighed down with indecision, trying to figure out the morally right thing to do when confronted with shades of gray.

Does your character have any powers that the hexarchate would consider "exotic" (magical)?
Hana has the Vidona deathtouch, though is extremely loathe to use it.

What do you (the player) enjoy most in an RPG?
I love seeing tension between a character’s needs (character growth) versus their wants (protecting themselves from change). So at some point, having Hana have to go undercover as Vidona and be confronted with the terrible things she’s done but will also further the goal of taking down the hexarchate would be deliciously angsty and hopefully compelling. In general I love character development and characters bouncing off each other to grow and change.

You have 100 words to tell me anything else you want me and the other players to know about your character. Do it here.
She’s big and soft with wide hips and kind eyes. Hana wants to do the right thing but doesn’t trust her own moral compass. She would (and has) used every bit of herself to help children and left nothing for herself. She cries easily. She’s never had a serious romantic partner.
