Tilo Pavan (WIP)

charms

Tilo is one of the sweetest, nisest woman you would ever meet. She does come off as shy, but it’s more of her quiet, non-confrontational nature. As a friend she will be very loyal to you and help where she can. Though she mourns her parents, and still wonders/questions why they were killed, she doesn’t believe in dwelling on sadness, which is what her parents(and then her nani) instilled upon her. Tilo’s parents taught her to be confident in herself, which lends to her job as shopkeeper. She is professant and excels at her knowledge and skills with herbs and spices, having learned alongside her parents. She never shy’s away from a customer when they come in and takes all the time to help those who need it, even recommending things they may not be thinking of. She actually made her friends from returning customers, thrilling to her that her recommendations worked so well. Overall, she is a very loving woman to her friends and family. Always there for them with a cup of tea. And last, she is a big romantic at heart. She loves love, and it makes her heart soar when happy couples come into her shop. She came into this mid-range of her life, introduced to her through her nani. Since, and still, reading romantic stories, she believes in finding “her one”, even if she needs to go through fishes to finding her love.

Now what most people don’t see, as she believes them private/family only matters, is that she can be very insecure, nervous, and browbeaten. Most of these feelings have been brought about by her fathers’ parents. She is intimidated by them, uncomfortable under their critical, disapproving stare. She has felt this way from them her entire life. And from them, in regards to her personally, she becomes insecure about herself. It takes a small amount of convincing though to get her to do something for herself by friends and her nani. She has a natural nervousness around men, only because she hopes of finding the right man. And even though she’s confident in her work, she’s not that much in ways of asking one out and sometimes can’t always keep eye contact. A lot of Tilo’s underlying negative aspects about herself can always be stemmed back to her grandparents on her fathers side. Constantly outing her down, disapproving of her working, impressing that it is wrong to be so public about ones self.

Tilo doesn’t fear a whole much, and new things she takes one at a time and slowly. She does get a little frightened easily when others get angry/scary. Her one fear is dying. It’s not that she was oblivious to death and that you die. But she is terrified of unexpected deaths, it intensified with her parents murder. She can talk about her parents, but if others bring up their death she would change the subject or just leave the room. The thought of their death causes a panic attack, causing her to become cold to others and turn inward. It also makes her very much dislike going on the open road to market day, and would go into meltdown mode if she is forced to go alone. Though still uncomfortable, she would rather hitch a ride with the other venders, preferring to travel in a larger group to market.
