Personality:

Initially, Tethys was a shy mare. She was the epitome of propriety and understood her "place" in the world. However, when she began to lose her eyesight, she changed. There was too much living left to do. Since then she has become more outgoing, but still clinging to the raiment of her shyness at times.


Backstory:

Born to a struggling family, she was given up in hopes of a better life. As a teenager, she found work as a nanny/tutor to Uroko. Over the years, she told him stories that she remembered her mother having once told her and teaching him the lessons of life.

Very similiar in age, they grew together as friends more than mentor and student. As Tethys first began to realize that she as having problems with her vision, she was able to see that not only was she falling for Uroko but he was falling for her.

She knew that it would get him exiled and her in trouble so she did not act on her feelings. As her vision got worse and her longing for him, she decided to leave and explore the world before she lost all of her vision.

Leaving without a word, she disappeared into the night.

Somewhere along her journey, she met the Storyteller Horus, who made her a promise if she would spread the tale of "The Hanging Tree."
