Personality: Having been born in extremely well off circumstances and her world’s equivalent of high-society as well as being an only child, Tyve is used to being comfortable both materially and emotionally. So when thrust into a new and/or unknown situations, she can come off as frigidly polite or a touch too arrogant. This had been one of the traits that had endeared her so readily to her peers when she had first joined the academy and caused no little amount of conflict until she began to thaw out and display a sense of camaraderie with her fellow students. Also having been blessed with a thicker emotional shell than most, she often comes off as exceedingly blunt, quite unforgiving in her assessment of people or their actions. She has yet to grasp the idea that other people can and sometimes do have more delicate sensitivities than she does.
Just because she can shrug off most things however, doesn’t mean that she’s exactly stoic. Far from it. She has plenty of pride in her abilities and has a low tolerance for it being questioned or insulted. Really when it comes to perceived slights to herself or those she cares about, Tyve has a temper that takes long to cool and the kind of stubbornness that won't back down from a fight or a disagreement. Traits that are only intensified from her going through the emotional rollercoaster that is adolescence. Tyve, also being a teenager during the more dodgy bits of being a teenager, does have a that certain teenage surliness and bravado as well, rarely thinking before she acts and no doubt ripe for getting into trouble.
Despite her youthful brashness and thanks to her upbringing in a military household, Tyve does for the most part defer to authority figures, though really only in the context of whether or not they’ve been or are currently in some sort of milita or military service. Basically anyone with a military background gets a free respect pass from her unless they do something she views as unbecoming. On the other hand, she tends to be skeptical of what she views as civilian authority and if she doesn't like what she sees, she isn't afraid to speak up. Though if said civilian figure displays something she views as proper and right, she will give to them the same level of respect as a military officer.
On the thread of military, there is an interesting contrast to Tyve. Owing to said upbringing, outside of her emotions, Tyve does try to keep things orderly and disciplined. Which she succeeds in...Except when duty may involve personal or emotional matters. Tyve tries to be disciplined in those situations as well, but has a difficult time separating duty and her own personal emotions. She is also young and with it comes the impulsiveness, inexperience and temper that youth brings. That isn’t to say that she is completely short-sighted or incompetent. She does have a strong sense of right and wrong but sometimes does choose to ignore it as her passions dictate.
Tyve has always been a serious person, in fact it was a joke among her friends and peers that she allotted herself only one smile a month, maybe a laugh if news was particularly good. While it was a exaggerated joke, she really does have no sense of humor. She thinks pranks are frivolous (and reacts badly to them) and is that person that just really doesn't get the joke or doesn't find the humor in it. Though, she is capable of smiling and laughing a lot more often than she's been given credit for. Or at least she did. With the events of the massacre still fresh in her mind, it has become the rare event her friends have joked about.
Seeing as it’s been less than a year since she was involved in the academy massacre, she still occasionally suffers nightmares and carries a good deal of survivor’s guilt with her. Though most of the time she’s learned to keep it well hidden, occasionally a sight, sound or some sort of trigger can bring it to the surface. It’s not particularly pretty either, whether it is a small bubbling or a full blown flashback. Another result of the whole incident seems to be that she tends to be a bit more guarded in forming relationships with new people, most notably people around her age group. Having such a traumatic thing happen to a girl her age has left her shaken, though she vehemently opposes being seen as a broken thing, her pride absolutely refuses it.
People wise, she takes some time to warm up to people, even more so as mentioned previously, but once she does, she tends to be loyal and steadfast. She is the kind of person will go out of her way and bend over backwards for a friend. Sometimes even to the point of being blind to when a friend may be in the wrong. Having not experienced betrayal yet in her life, she generally believes in the good of people for the most part though her brush with the dark side of humanity via the massacre has also given her a bit of a cynical tinge at times. Though that doesn't keep her from disliking people if she disagrees or argues with them.
Passions reigned in properly, she has the potential to be a force to be reckoned with, but that is something that will come in time. At the moment she still is a girl still growing up.
