Background / History

Tina grew up on a floating island in the Plane of Air. Both of her parents are Genasi adventurers who left the island when she was young; over ten years, they returned only three times, leaving her to remain in contact through a communication stone. 337

She inherited an ancestral Giant Rune journal whose first five pages had been translated before her time. Tina painstakingly deciphered less than half of the sixth page, struggling with unfamiliar runes and the multiple meanings carried by individual Giant words. 337

After becoming an Artificer, she converted the first floor of her home into a repair shop. She earned money repairing local machinery with Repair spells while saving toward materials for a personal aircraft. 337

Tina joined a mining team to collect Cloud Iron, enduring slow progress and surrendering part of her yield for access to the mining operation and teleportation circle. She ultimately gathered enough material to finish a Cloud Iron glider. 338 342

Appearance

Tina is a youthful Wind Genasi girl, described as looking no older than a teenager. Her blue-white skin and light golden hair identify her as a Genasi of the Plane of Air. 337 348

• Blue-white skin, including arms that emit a blue-white glow. 337
• Light golden hair that streams behind her while flying. 342
• Later wears bright red Power Armor with a rhinoceros-beetle-themed helmet. 356 357

Personality

Tina is ambitious, adventurous, and impatient to see the world beyond her floating-island home. Her desire to build a glider came from dreams of becoming a great adventurer, finding treasure, and returning home in glory. 337

She can be impulsive and prone to showing off, whether attempting dangerous aerial maneuvers, insisting on piloting Karl's airship, or wanting to impress her hometown after becoming Karl's disciple. 342 359 However, she is also resourceful under pressure: she escaped a demon-bat swarm by exploiting a cloud's static field and defended herself against a pursuing griffin. 343 347

Despite her outwardly goofy and increasingly childlike behavior, Tina is intelligent enough to follow Karl's reasoning about her dreams and recognize clues in the Giant Rune journal. 351 360

• Her glider was destroyed after the griffin tore through its magic circuits and Cloud Iron structure. 347

• Uses a rhinoceros-beetle-type artificial life servant and belt as her transformation device. 356
• Her armor forms from stored Moon Spirit Marrow rather than occupying one of her synchronization slots. 356

• Nia — A member of Karl's group who helped care for Tina after her rescue and treated her kindly during her first meal aboard the airship. 348 350

Story Role / Major Arcs

Floating Island Artificer

Tina is introduced living and working on a floating island in the Plane of Air, researching Giant Runes, repairing machinery, and saving Cloud Iron for a glider. 337 338

First Adventure and the Invisible Force Field

After completing her glider and reaching Level 3 Artificer, Tina leaves home to search for adventure and possible Giant treasure. She survives pursuit by demon bats, follows a dream of the Sun, and is later attacked by a griffin that destroys her glider. 342 343 346 347

Trapped and then released by the Invisible Force Field, Tina falls toward Karl's airship. Karl rescues her with Feather Fall, and her journal and dreams become the key evidence in his investigation of how to leave the barrier. 348 351

Karl's Disciple

After Karl's group escapes the restricted zone, Tina takes Karl as her master and guides the airship toward her hometown's teleportation circle. Karl supplies her with an Intelligence Headband, Power Armor designs, and direct instruction. 355 356

Return to the Floating Island

Tina returns to her village in Power Armor to prevent the residents from attacking Karl's enormous airship. Although she helps establish contact, the village remains wary of Karl's group and its own hidden history. 357

Karl later leaves thirteen Iron Ant Type 2 constructs to defend Tina's island before departing. Tina chooses to continue traveling with Karl rather than remain home. 361

Battle Training

Tina accompanies Lisana during conflicts with sky pirates and is among the group members who defeat the most enemies during one battle. 371 382 She later demonstrates her completed transformation sequence and activates Clock Up during the fighting. 385

Trivia

• She was so impressed by the airship's food that she finished three large bowls after being rescued from starvation. 350
• Her neighbors expected that her Genasi desire for adventure would eventually lead her away from the floating island. 342
