Personal history

Born as the first grandchild of Thoradin Giantsbane, Thyme or well at the time Thora, was a child who'd grow up to have it all. Growing up in the great Citadel Adbar meant that she would grow up around warriors and grow into one herself. Although loved, similar to her grandfather Thora tended to have a rebellious streak which often resulted in her quarreling with her younger cousin Thurmor who tended to be slightly jealous of Thora and everything she would get away with.

On an excursion out in the open fields away from the Citadel, Thora on a faithful day would get to meet Juniper Bramble. Thora was never one for love, the romance of it all wasn't something she grew up with something that changed due to this meeting. While fighting off the attack of a fire giant and getting wounded together, Thora in the most dwarf like way felt sparks fly between her and the lovely wizard before her. However, Thora's hand was already promised to another.

Thora had already been furious and angry at her hand being so easily given away to a fine dwarven lord in Mithril Hall but meeting someone who made her heart beat so furociously, made her cheeks heat up so quickly only solidified her anger and rebellion regarding the promise. She would secretly write love letters, send them all the way to Goldenfield and respond to any that she got back.

However her marriage was finite, and although her heart was saddened, Thora decided that duty had to be done something she did begrudingly while not making it any easy for the people around her. This marriage however wouldn't even be able to make it to the vows, as her cousin Thurmor would come forward with the letters he found between Thora and Juniper, her secret love affair out in the open.

Everything would come crashing down, her grandfather angry, her family upset and ashamed. And during all the emotions and rage, Thora Giantsbane would be no more. Stripped of her name, rank and title, Thora would be no one. A stranger without a name. She would travel back to Adbar where she'd remain for a small bit, however the whispers within the citadel would proof to much. She sends out a letter to Juniper in Goldenfields, informing her of the situation and that next dawn she will go down the mountain and travel towards her hometown.

To my most beloved, Juniper Bramble

I write to you now in the late hours of the evening, to remind you once again how I yearn for your presence, your correspondence and the sweet words that you have written to me captured both my heart and soul to the point it has gotten me into a bit of trouble.

With the most urgency I announce that I will be traveling to your town of Goldenfields the moment the early morning sun rises over the mountain tops of Adbar. You have told me often of how the land you adore so much feels like it is made of the gold that adorns my ears and hair, I wish to see this, but even more I wish to see you, be in your presence once more.

If you would have me, my most adored, I would like to remain in Goldenfields, for my own home is one I can no longer with a good conscience remain, the voices and whispers of the people within the halls of the mountain, both strangers, friends and family haunts my soul and hurts my heart.

By the time this letter is met with your hands I will be close to your home, so please save your penmanship, for although I wish I could read your lovely words now, I would rather hear your equally beautiful voice.

I'll see you soon, my most beloved.

Yours truly, 

the dwarf formerly known as Thora Giantsbane

-

Ashamed and lost, Thora makes her way to Goldenfields where she would reunite with Juniper for the first time since the fire giant attack. The two would bond, grow even closer. And overtime this now unnamed shield dwarf from Citadel Adbar would gain the name Thyme Bramble.

Goldenfields is peaceful, it is lovely and has everything Thyme holds dear. Well, not everything. Thyme would often at times longingly look into the distance, believing that if she looks hard enough she could get a glimpse of a mountain, a mountain she longs to return to. She loves being Thyme Bramble, but truly she desires to be Thora Giantsbane once more.

Education

Being from the Adbar Mountain and born in a family of warriors means that Thyme was given a warrior's education. She is all brawn and no brain, her own writing is subpar at best and the only books Thyme actively does like to ready are the sappy romance poems that are situated in Juniper's library at their home.

Employment

Helps around the Bramble farm, carries around heavy stuff, hunts and does mercenary work on the side. Would occassionally teach the kids in Goldenfields swordsmanship and how to defend themselves would the town get attacked.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Controversially killed Lobb, one of the giants that attacked her home Goldenfields

Failures & Embarrassments

Shamed her clan by not doing her duty by emotionally cheating on her future husband. Something would could have been prevented all together had she stood up more for herself.

Mental Trauma

During the current journey, Thyme has been struggling with this overwhelming feeling of powerlessness, watching these unknown forces drive Juniper's mind apart has taken a toll on Thyme herself.

Beyond that being othered from her family also has made Thyme at times not know who she even is. Looking in a mirror hurts.

Morality & Philosophy

Believes in honour being everything, ironically enough. She is ashamed of having dishonoured her clan and believes that committing such acts are disgraceful. Thyme has a heroes mindset in the sense that she believes that one should do what is right however what is unique about her is that she believes that to do what is right anything could be sacrificed for it.

Faith, Honour and Family. These are the 3 principles Thyme lives by, they are her bread and butter. The things she fights for and the things she lives for.

Beyond these 3 principles Thyme believes in doing what is good and right precisely in the sense that those goals for good should be achieved no matter what gets in the way.

Vices & Personality flaws

Thyme judges herself too quickly and too harshly, call it older sibling syndrome but there is this obsessive feeling within her that always sneakingly makes her feel like everything she does is never enough.
