- ■ CHEERFUL Most quickly notice how happy Tiernan always seems to be; she's generally optimistic no matter the mood around her. She tends to think the best of everything and everyone, and she's quite extroverted and friendly, even to perfect strangers. Of course, cheeriness doesn't always equal contentment, as she is quick to admit. As bubbly as she tends to be, she is also constantly on the move, looking for something new to make her happy.
■ INQUISITIVE Tiernan is constantly asking questions about everyone and everything. There are no limits to her curiosity, and she can be quite tactless about it. She always wants to know more, to learn more, not for any practical, concrete reasons, but just so she can fill her head up with new information about the world around her. Eager to hear about anything, she's inclined to gossip and to wild theories, which always makes things interesting.
■ ELOQUENT Tiernan can be very persuasive, especially because of how smoothly she can phrase things. Language is one of her talents, be it English, parseltongue, or writing. She's extremely articulate for her age and rarely at a loss for words. Because of this adults tend to find her very charming, and it only encourages her more. She speaks so seriously and earnestly it can be hard not to want to believe her, even if she isn't making any logical sense.
■ CONTRARY Tiernan does not enjoy being ordered about and isn't above doing the exact opposite of what she was told or 'mishearing' things. She does love a good back and forth debate and as such is inclined to disagree, and to prod at others until they give her something to gleefully respond to. If she doesn't get her way she's inclined to not cooperate, and isn't above wrecking other people's plans purely out of perverse spite.
■ DISSATISFIED Never satisfied with her lot in life, Tiernan always wants more, more, more. More of what, it depends on the situation, but she is always restless, never fully at ease with herself or her surroundings. Tiernan truly believes things could always be better, and she's not willing to settle for anything less. Despite her optimistic outlook she's always yearning for things just out of her reach, and unwilling to stop trying to get them.
■ UNREALISTIC Tiernan's expectations will always exceed reality. Rational as she is, she's not one for practicalities, and her head is, if not in the clouds, never quite on the same plane of existence as everyone else. She thinks big, and rarely does anything truly match what she really wants. Unfortunately, this often leaves her disappointed, but she's quick to bounce back. Tiernan is an idealist who knows the ideal will never be the real.

- CHILDHOOD Tiernan Yaxley is the second child and middle triplet born to Shirley and Blair Yaxley. She displayed both signs of magic and parseltongue before her first birthday, and has consequently been spoiled rotten since day one, as a member of a very proper, very wealthy pureblooded family. A cheerful, curious child, Tiernan grew up spending her days attending ballet and piano and etiquette lessons, getting up to mischief with her sisters, and throwing tea parties for her beloved snakes, Byron and Emily. Tiernan truly believes she is a princess, and princesses always get what they want, no matter what. Always. She doesn't stray into the muggle village as often as her sisters, but most of her family's teachings on purity seem to go in one ear and out the other, and Tiernan has little concern for much but her garden and her snakes.
SCHOOL YEARS
- FIRST YEAR Tiernan's first year, while all in all, satisfactory, did not exactly go according to plan. Unlike her two sisters, Tiernan wasn't sorted into Slyttherin but into Ravenclaw. Given her personality, this wasn't shocking- what was shocking for the girl was the fact that for the first time in her life she was separated from her triplets, her best friends. Being apart from them, although they still spent plenty of time together, forced her out of her comfort zone, and into the realm of reality- just slightly. Despite this setback, she still did enjoy her time at Hogwarts, although she somewhat dreaded having to reveal her house to her parents when she came home for the summer holiday.
SECOND YEAR Tiernan's parents did not take the news of her Sorting well, and constantly compared her to her sisters as she headed into her second year. She tried not to take any of it to heart, but couldn't help but feel like the proverbial weak link of the triplets, although she knew Darian didn't even think of herself as a Slytherin to begin with. Having managed to make some friends, she tried to spend much of her time with them, and she also joined Fencing Club, the one her cousin Ashley had begun. When her friend Reyna proposed they venture into the Forbidden Forest, Tiernan declined the invitation, claiming she was 'too beautiful to die young'. She later learned that they'd been caught, and that Glynn, for reasons unbeknownst to her, had attempted to get himself killed during it.
THIRD YEAR Tiernan's third year was very quiet; she was busy with new elective classes, as well as extracurriculars such as fencing. She did become closer friends with a fellow Ravenclaw from a pureblood family similar to her own, Alby, and quickly caught on that the boy had developed a crush on her. She reciprocated, but she wasn't about to let on that quickly, and decided it was probably best to just wait things out and see if he ever worked up the nerve.
FOURTH YEAR Tiernan found her fourth year rather romantic, given the fact that she and Alby grew closer and that he dramatically forced his rude nephew to apologize to her after the younger boy berated her in the Great Hall. She accepted his invitation to a date and invited him to visit her over the winter break. By the end of the year, they were happily dating, although Tiernan still didn't really like the word. It seemed a bit crass.
FIFTH YEAR Tiernan spent the year studying for her OWLs when she wasn't snogging her boyfriend, although she was never very worried about her scores. She was more worried about her parents, their treatment of her sisters, and her mother's constant hinting at 'wedding planning'.
SIXTH YEAR Tiernan spent the year preparing for her NEWTs, ignoring her parents' letters, snogging her boyfriend, and trying to comfort her friends, one of whom had recently lost a parent, another who seemed deeply depressed, and one whom was pregnant.
SEVENTH YEAR Over the summer Rowan ran away from home, and Tiernan, feeling betrayed by her sister neglecting to tell her or Darian her plans, moved in with Alby. Darian tagged along as well, having nowhere else to go at the moment. She enjoyed her seventh year, despite the stress of upcoming NEWTs, and was overjoyed when Alby proposed to her at the end of the year.
