Personality[]
Tanzy is kindhearted and open-hearted, but equally clueless and naive. She proves herself susceptible to seduction and becomes obsessed with her "goddess," whose name she squeals at every opportunity.
In Giselle's Traveling Troupe, Tanzy serves as director, providing team support and keeping the performers (Rico and Coda) in line. Her physical strength is her most noteworthy asset. She appears nervous by the prospect of sharing her written work with others, fearing that criticism will reveal her lack of skill.
History[]
Prior to Story[]
In her early life, Tanzy always wanted to perform on stage, but ended up working at a candle shop instead to support her family. Despite this, she loved to write scripts for plays as a secret pastime. One day, Odhner, a well-known stage actor and a childhood friend of hers, saw her scripts and asked if he could perform it at the next Festival of Grace, which she accepted.
One night, Tanzy and Odhner snuck into a church together. There, Tanzy found the inspiration to complete her script, and while going over it with her, Odhner asked her to marry him. Fate took a tragic turn the following day, when Tanzy woke up to find that Odhner died of heart failure beside her. After his funeral, Tanzy was wracked with guilt until she met Mindt at the church, who helped her through her sorrows. As a result, her feelings for her former love disappeared and she began to harbor a new love for the cleric. One day, Mindt asked her to find the remaining blue flames all over the world. Despite protests from her parents, Tanzy set out on her journey, meeting Giselle's Traveling Troupe along the way. While on her travels, Tanzy found Toto'haha's Sacred Flame and reported it back to the Mindt, who in turn let her read the Book of Night and inducted her into the Moonshade Order.
Story[]
During her travels, while trying to free their wagon from the sand in Tropu'hopu, Tanzy and her troupe members meet Agnea in town. The young dancer offers her assistance, helping them free their wagon. Tanzy then introduces herself along with the other troupe members before departing to practice for their show at the floating theater. Giselle, however, runs off due to her lack of confidence. While blaming herself for not keeping an eye on Giselle, Tanzy meets Agnea again as the latter headed to the theater to watch their show. Agnea once again volunteers to help, this time locating and encouraging Giselle. After Giselle returns and puts on a show for the townspeople, Tanzy thanks Agnea for all her help in setting Giselle straight. Later, after a celebratory night, Tanzy and the troupe say their farewells to Agnea before departing Tropu'hopu.
Tanzy and the traveling troupe later encounter Agnea in Merry Hills, where the young dancer is being pursued by La'mani's thugs. The troupe uses doves as a a distraction to cover Agnea's escape. Later, while Agnea and Dolcinaea perform, Tanzy and the troupe, cheers for Agnea and supports her alongside all of her other family and friends. Together, they watch her victory and encore.
Tanzy meets with Mindt sometime later at the Flamechurch: Cathedral, where she professes her love for the cleric. However, Tanzy learns too late that as Mindt began to pray, she was being used as a sacrifice in order to put out the Sacred Flame. Tanzy's body fades into the darkness as she screams in agony.
