Editing Nellens Tsfaradea (section)

== Personality ==

Fara's big problem is that she cannot seem to decide what kind of person she wants to be. Her initial boundless idealism has been dimmed when concerned relatives gave her a big talking to on the subject of just what kind of place the world out there is, and on precisely how her ideas would be taken by other Dynasts if she voiced them (as hilarious at best, or heretical at worst). While her relatives were convinced that they brought the young girl back down to earth, sometimes it might appear more that the main thing they taught her was to hide her own feelings. In fact, she remains torn between two different personas: a witty, ambitious, conniving social chameleon and a kind (though introverted and also somewhat clueless), high-minded idealist. The latter might be more true to her heart, but the former appears both more secure and more in the interests of her House, which she would really rather not let down.

She greatly values knowledge and learning and idealises sorcery and sorcerers (even if she technically might count as one herself, by now). She is very self-conscious, both about her status as a Nellens and her status as Dragon Blood; she does not take either for granted, and is likely to be somewhat put off by those who do. While personally quite levelheaded (at least when dealing with situations she already understands), Tsfaradea is unlikely to act as a voice of reason for fear of coming across as a stick in the mud. She is more likely to try and subtly nudge others in what she sees as the right direction. The young sorceress is paranoid towards Dynasts of other Houses, but tends to trust commoners. In fact, while somewhat fond and protective of mortals, she is also likely to be unwittingly very patronising towards them. She is, indeed, largely naive and sheltered, and it is hard to predict how she would fare in Dynast society. Certainly she isn't likely to take challenges to her ideals and worldview all that well. Still, at least she is eager to learn and to make friends...
