Tia has a lean figure which stands at five foot seven. She has long, black hair which flows well past her shoulders and down her back. Her skin is fair, and possesses a tinge, native to her home country of Egypt. Her large eyes reveal a blue- gray color, a unique pigment that she inherited from her mother. The resemblance is now gone, as her eyes are replaced with either a black or red color, exposing her vampire identity.
Her style of dress is elegant for she holds the grace of the grand daughter of a sultan, and though time has passed, she never forgets the respectful family from which she came. She enjoys dressing up extravagantly, and always keeps a presentable, fancy appearance.

[/u][/center][/size][/font].:Basic Personality:.
Tia is a young, intelligent young vampire. Though she has obtained a vast amount of knowledge through the years, she will not expose it. She remains humble and modest, and perhaps only speaks freely and without as much caution, around her mate, Benjamin. She is graceful, poised, well mannered, and respectful. All of these qualities had been instilled in her while she was a child, to her adolescent years. Because of the rich lifestyle she came from, she demonstrated her stamina of being a sultan's grand daughter, by keeping her family's reputation. She continues to do so, despite the fact that her immediate family is all deceased. Due to the way she dresses and the lifestyle she is accustomed to, one may believe upon first impressions that she is spoiled. Whether she is or is not is up for the spectator to conclude.
Tia will not speak uselessly. She has great insight to what she says, and as previously stated, knows when it is preferred for her to keep quiet. While she can be a strong, independent woman, she does not wish to be. She is entirely comfortable with relying on her husband for everything, and enjoys being cared for by someone who she has chosen out of her own free will. It is part of her culture to rely on a husband to take care of her, and it is something that she will never go against for she enjoys the protection.
Though she is content with her new life, she is filled with regret every day for that one incident she had left her home. She wished she could have departed from her family in a less dramatic manner and hates that she made them worry for so many years. She has a very high value for family, and that is part of the reason she is so devoted to her husband and often complies with his wishes.
Some of her hobbies include reading, writing, dancing, and sewing. She enjoys making unique garments and even though she does not often leave the comfort of her home, she likes to get dressed up for her husband. She also adores cats and owns a family of Persian cats whom she cares for and feels very affectionate towards.

.:History:.
------Born in 1819 as the granddaughter of the great sultan Muhammad Ali ((Kavalali Mehmed Ali Pasha)), Tia's life was a luxurious one. Her father, Ibrahim, succeeded his father who was an integral part in the development of Egypt. She was the sole daughter of one of Ibrahim's many wives, who's name was lost through the pages of history. Never the less, her extravagant lifestyle remained with her. She was born in Cairo, the land where her father was buried and this proved to be no coincidence; because it was where she was born, it was where he wished to be buried for he took great pride in his only daughter. Tia resided here her entire life, and did not see a lot of her father for he was preoccupied with the affairs of his land. He served as Regant for his father from July to November of 1848, and served as a 19th century general of Egypt. Because of these duties. Tia did not see a great deal of her father. He remained elusive for her, but she still maintained a close relationship as they often wrote to each other.
Tia was educated, for she came from a prestigious family. She was a devout student, often curious and believed that there was no limit to knowledge. Because of this, she became highly intelligent and as the years went on, she became one of the more knowledgeable young women of the time. She, however, did not wish to marry until her education was complete and this created a bit of controversy within her family, They forced her to become engaged to a man she had never met, and she obliged, for a young decent woman at the time had no say in such a situation. Though she was well educated, she still understood the values and morals that her family instilled within her and she did not object to the engagement, for she was granted an additional year to study before become a married woman.
The year 1839 is a year forever burned into Tia's mind, no matter how many years pass by. War had broken out once again in Egypt. Her father was not successful in attempting to gain victories, and this created even more of a distance between Tia and Ibrahim. Tia was out alone, with an escort for one of the first times in her life. It was perhaps the biggest mistake she had ever made for her solitude proved to be her downfall. She was kidnapped by crooks and recognized as the daughter of the great general. They kidnapped her with the hopes to blackmail him for money. Her father however, did not receive the demands in time for he was forced to evacuate his city and was isolated for many years. Tia was never seen again.
The young woman was filled with fear and prayed for a quick death. She received no such luxury. Several months after her disappearance, the gang of crooks were attacked by a supernatural creature that Tia did not understand until she experienced the pain that the vampire bestowed upon her. It had bit her, and was in the middle of finishing the job when an army was approaching and the creature understood the chances of success; it was outnumbered and so fled the situation before he could complete his meal: Tia. Tia had just enough strength to conceal herself from the approaching army, and spend the next several days in agonizing pain.
The following years were difficult for her to endure. Her family had declared her dead one year after they failed to find her. Tia visited her gravestone while she watched her family, and the line of successors that followed her father, slowly decline. She could never reveal herself, afraid of how they would react to this less than human version of Tia Pasha. She watched in silence as her family line became more distant from her, and her country became more developed and united. She did however visit her mother on her death bed; her mother believed to be dreaming of her daughter's presence and Tia quickly departed the scene, unable to see her mother's mental state of 'delusion'.
In the later years, she met another vampire who would be her mate, and she joined a coven who would be her sole family. Currently, she lives with all three of them, and finds her life far more bearable. She still often visits her family, who are all buried in the same cometary in Cairo, Egypt.
