Few bonds are as strong and everlasting as that of twin siblings, as theirs is genetic in nature. They will always be a part of each other, regardless of decisions made or actions taken later in life. Such was the case for Thibbi and Thebba - the Phoenix Twins. They were inseparable from birth; one white as snow and one dark as the night. Reflections of their proud parents they were, yet their happy family memories would be tragically short-lived, for it was only but a few years into their existence that the Great War erupted.
Kära flew to seek aid from my father, while brave King Thyrian stood his ground in the throne room to buy his family time to evacuate. She brought the twins with her, and they would rest peacefully at Heavenheim far removed from the mortal danger their kin were about to throw themselves into. A grief-stricken Kära returned a few days later, carrying their father's sword. She told them of their father's noble sacrifice, and that he would not be coming back this time. Half-orphaned, the twins were whisked away to the woodland realm of Averlorn to stay with the Aelvar and be reunited with their eldest brother Thrand, now King-Consort to Queen Ióunn.
Their mother, reduced emotionally and mentally by the devastating loss, would find a new home for herself deep in the woods, far removed from the busy snow-covered streets of Tháinbroek. The drastic change in scenery would have a significant impact on the twins, as they would while away hours at a time exploring the lush green not found anywhere else on the planet. As they grew older they divided their time between the serene stillness of their mother's cabin and the splendour of the Woodland Palace, where they would receive education in the Elven tongue.
Whereas Thebba has grown into a bright-minded and caring young woman, her twin brother Thibbi is seemingly afflicted with his father's brooding and stoic personality. I recall many occasions when he is seen sulking in the corner until his sister is able to bring him out of his shell, so to speak. Not even his mother holds as much sway with him as sweet Thebba, for whom he would move mountains. Where she goes, he follows, ever prepared to face any challenge with the same fire as his father.

who follows along on her animal-rearing adventures, as though duty bound to keep her safe. He is her favourite person, the pair are naturally bonded since birth and suffer greatly when apart. On the flip side, they are always stronger together.
Being one of the Phoenix-Twins, she has an affinity toward pyrokinesis like her Father before her. She is even immune to its burning touch like her brother, however where his blue flames are red-hot hers burn a golden yellow and bring about life and healing instead.
It is rare indeed to find Thebba without an animal or two trailing behind, in her arms, or even nestled away in her big, Roo-style pockets. She never leaves home without possible creature food, and is always tracking mud into their home alongside them. Wild at heart, she often infuriates her poor mother by never scrubbing up long enough to befit her noble status. Of course, Kära doesn't really mind, she is glad that she has children who are kept from the ravages of the Galaxy, who can run and play and get mucky without any real care in the world.
She has always been a bright and friendly individual, seeing life for all the good it brings; in this way she counters out her brother's more somber, stoic nature. Thebba is always looking for ways to make her twin laugh or smile, and barring that she's overly affectionate with him and showers him in love and hugs. When he comes to any harm, it is she who is first at his side and insists on personally tending to him alongside the physicians.
He is her rock, her anchor, her moon; Runa help any who try to bring him strife or harm.
