Born into the wealth of opportunity and expectation both offered and demanded from her name, Tahira exudes the pride, prejudice, and passion that can be forged from so unyielding an upbringing. While many within her family follow pursuits of martial and smithing success, she possesses a thirst for more obscure knowledge of aetheric arts and advancements in alchemical ability. From old texts to modern treatises to strange oddities - She greedily grabs for anything to satiate her want for improvement in occupation.No matter her individualisms, she holds herself to oaths of loyalty just as any Basari of note might. First to her Matriarch, then her kin, and finally her city - In that order. Her talents plied for the betterment of the House, where they are folded into the arms and armament services her kin offer in trade for those willing and capable enough to pay for such premium work.Little is beyond her ego - Those who would quiver and whine about temperance and restraint simply lack the imagination and sheer will to see their ambitions realized.
A Good Basari: Like many that share her name, she is in service to the greater whole that are the Basari. She can be found in the various markets both at home and abroad fulfilling the needs of her mercantile house, as well as occasionally serving as a representative for prospective patrons.
All That Glitters, All That Shimmers: Her own familial services largely focus on alchemical adornments that are both fashionable and practical in application and use. Platinum and polished crystal gemstones are often the standard, though other metals and less standard sources of aether are available. These finely focused items are then infused with various properties - from minor spellwork, to more expansive projects that pour from the patron's imagination into her capable hands.
Aged Esoterics: Given her proclivity for the understanding of aether and her growing penchant for the strange and odd, she is drawn towards obtaining relics of old or knowledge thought lost or locked away. From the grandest to the weird-but-mundane, she can be drawn into service with the promise of these sorts of acquisitions.
Garish Taste: Keen on delighting in the material and refined, she is one who appreciates fine art, rich foods, and opulent raiment. She will almost always be interested in acquiring luxury items and indulgences with the right sales pitch.
