Dantia is a mixture of the Bookworm (quiet, smart, and seemingly physically unimposing) and the Lady of War (a woman of action who retains an air of grace and reserve not usually associated with violence). She spends as much time researching and writing as she does taking care of business, in her own refined way. Think Eowyn from Lord of the Rings, or Joan from Mad Men.
About
![]() |
You see Lady of the Watch Dantia, Rallying Point of Therengia, a Human Empath. She has a delicate face, resplendent emerald eyes and a freckled nose. Her radiant red-gold hair is long and interspersed with strands of copper and honey, and is worn loose, tucked behind her ears. She has fair skin and a slender figure. She is wearing a clingy white gossamer gown embroidered with silver filigree, a pair of gleaming silver wings with sharpened pinions, a delicate silver necklace suspending a tiny pink diamond dahlia, a pair of daintily winged ankle boots with white gossamer and silver accents and a pristine white Therengian rose. |

a pristine white Therengian rose This flower is an exemplary version of a Therengian rose, its delicate white petals dusted with a pearly opalescence and limned in the faintest shades of gold. The bloom has been preserved at the perfect time, the bud just over half-opened with its beauty on full display. Tied at the base of the flower, half-hidden beneath a set of dark green leaves, is a gold-edged tag affixed by a short gossamer ribbon. |

Guardian Spirit
As you contemplate the spoon, the air around you grows crisper, with the sharp smell of late autumn. In the distance, you hear the gentle chiming of bells, though their tones are slightly discordant to your ears. Abruptly, you realize that you are not alone, a towering alfar warrior with a small pink dahlia tucked behind one ear standing before you. Gently, the creature takes the spoon from your hand, inspecting it gravely.
In a sonorous voice, the towering warrior says, "This has been lost to my people for many years, and we had all but given up the search. My name is Ahven. I owe you a great debt, Dantia. Call upon me at any time, and I will come to your aid." The warrior bows respectfully, its left hand resting over its heart.
As it straightens the warrior appears less real, like a reflection seen in an antique mirror. You close your eyes to blink away the dizzying apparition and when you open them, the creature is gone.
a towering alfar warrior with a small pink dahlia tucked behind one ear With a commanding presence that sets it apart even among its fae brethren, the alfar warrior stands tall and exudes an air of authority. It's warm brown hair is cut neatly to the shoulders and is secured at the nape of the neck by a simple leather strap, framing an otherworldy face with vigilant eyes. Tucked behind one ear is a small pink dahlia in half bloom, the vibrant hue standing out against the sheen of ceramic-white skin. |

Apprenticeship
Dantia is currently accepting inquiries from Empaths interested in an Apprenticeship opportunity. This is only intended for Empaths who are ready to actively work toward the betterment of their abilities, and will include both classroom-style instruction and real-world application in the art of general Empathy, combat healing, and PvP. Apprentices will attend to Dantia at meetings and events, and, should they prove capable, will be brought into her inner circle and confidence on a number of matters. To be considered, interested applicants should hand-deliver to Dantia an item in the Empath Guild official color. (OOC: This is a long-term, roleplay-heavy opportunity.)
Previous Apprentices: Remyngton, Tichond.

Alteration Helper
My personal style leans towards looks and descriptions that are simple but sophisticated. I steer away from overly verbose looks written to use every available character, and favor descriptions that get the idea across in an easy-to-read way (no one wants to have to Google an alteration description). I like to work around themes, such as a common color, gem, or stylistic idea, and enjoy creating whole outfits that work well with each other, especially without the need for tons of alteration fodder.
With all of that being said, I would be happy to work with you on your own alteration ideas whether they fit into my preferred style or not, even if you would just like a "regulations check" to ensure your idea has a fighting chance.
You can contact me on Discord at DantiaDR#3487.

From Other Players
Violetti exclaims, "Fashion Princess can teach you all about clothing! And Dantia is super sweet and likes balls!"
Reiku — Today at 9:09 AM so Reiku had handed Dantia a few paper notes. And she read them.. and then.. gave them back. and I the player was like ... wtf do I do with these now?! I'm going to get confused if I just stow them (because it would try to pull them before pulling the blank paper) so.. I was like how do I get rid of them? Don't ask me why that somehow lead me to having her eat the paper... but she ate both the notes that got handed back Then Kethrai <sp?> questioned her on so then I had to come up with a reason for her insanity on the fly beyond Reiku's player is a idiot... and now, apparently... that's a thing she does. If you hand the paper back, she's going to eat it to destroy the evidence. so Reiku eats paper because of Dantia

Keishalae Returns
438-06-04 (06/16/2021) - At Guildfest 438, adventurers were notified that "something [was] happening in the Imperial Pavilion", the location where alterations were being held for that event. Despite having walked the Starry Road, Keishalae (a fairly popular, but very dead alterer) had somehow returned, and was offering to do alterations at the cost of your death or all of your favors. Her title, race, appearance and clothing had changed, leading to many theories as to what, or who, this now was. Of major note is that she changed from a Human to an Elothean, was now called the "True Sorcerer of the Shrew", and her clothing now featured the iconography of a shrew (this may be a reference to Kerenhappuch). She was also saying things that implied she was controlled by someone or something, such a "I HEARD YOU! I AM TRYING!"
Increased Orc Activity
439-08-20(ish) (September 2021) - At a weekly Therengian meeting, Court Advisor Aaiyaah informed those gathered that Lord Nicoly Rossman, of Rossman's Landing, had sent a missive to Theren Keep to advise about an increase in local orc activity. Kintryn began regular patrols of the area, but has not yet noticed anything out of the ordinary. A small force (including Kintryn, Dantia, Madigan, Kaelie, Mazrian, Remyngton, Delph, Teyl, Zynell, Sothios, and Telamont) has began investigating the area more closely and meeting on an every other week basis to discuss new findings or ideas.

Quote
When I was younger, I was named
A generation unafraid
For the heirs to come, be brave
And meet me on the battlefield
Even on the darkest night
I will be your sword and shield, your camouflage
And you will be mine
Echos of the shots ring out
We may be the first to fall
Everything could stay the same or we could change it all
