Teezra Vasker, Vata’sha Warlock (They/Them)

(played by Aaron)

Teezra was one of two twin children born in a small town in Kern. Although Teezra was born a Vata’shan, they have a twin sister, Olean, who was born human. Their parents hid Teezra’s existence, allowing Olean to leave the house and publicly be their only child while they planned to smuggle the family south to Aldis. Teezra instead grew up believing that everyone represented a threat, hiding whenever anyone came to the door, and went their entire early life never speaking to anyone other than their parents or Olean.

When Teezra and Olean were twelve, they made their move, attempting to take the children to Aldis, when things went wrong. The family was found or betrayed, Teezra doesn’t know which, and the Lich King’s men found them, giving chase as they neared the border.

Teezra was separated from their family, but not before they saw their sister get snatched by the Lich King’s men, and their parents be cut down.

Lost, frightened, and angry, Teezra made their way into Aldis, eventually being taken to the City of Aldis. As a refugee and an orphan, Teezra was cared for, but they were bitter, angry, and sullen. They don’t know why Martenn chose to take an interest in them, but it changed their life. Although Vata’an, Marten was able to show Teezra that they could be accepted in Aldis. Indeed, not just accepted, but loved – and other people were not all threatening. People had interests, things they did beyond working and trying to survive. Martenn taught Teezra to appreciate art, to listen to music, to find friends and lovers. It was Martenn’s work with the Finest that inspired Teezra – this place was so different from Kern, and the people were so full of life – that Teezra fell in love with the entire country.

Teezra has had lovers, but there is no one person they could love more than they love everyone, so they have never had a serious, committed lover.
