Overview

Tiffaunie is the reincarnation of Ratatoskr, one of the seven Great Wyrms of the First Brood. She was reborn by Hydaelyn to become Her champion against Zodiark, and created in the form of an Elezen woman in order to allow her to experience life from the perspective of a mortal and bring an end to the Dragonsong War.

Biography

Origins of the Dragonsong War

In the aftermath of Shiva's sacrifice and joining of her soul with the Great Wyrm Hraesvelgr, the elezen of Ishgard and dragons of Dravania settled into an alliance. During this time, as the elezen and dragons (with the "assistance" of a tribe of moogles) erected multiple monuments in the Dravanian Forelands and in the Churning Mists atop Sohm Al, the Great Wyrm Ratatoskr grew progressively intrigued and enamored with her small mortal allies. Having been without a mate for several millennia, she started spending increasingly more and more time amongst the elezen, learning their ways and their history as they, in turn, learned from her. Eventually, after 200 years, she befriended and then fell in love with Haldrath, the only son of the current Ishgardian king. Determined to deepen the bond between dragon and man even further, Ratatoskr came to the decision that she would give up her immortal life and take the form of an elezen woman so that she and Haldrath could be together, thus making man and dragon joined in flesh as well as in spirit.

Unbeknownst to the two lovers, though, an Ascian named Igeyorhm had learned of their romance and saw an opportunity to sow discord. Taking advantage of the elezen king's pious devotion to Halone, the patron goddess of Ishgard, she used her powers to impersonate the goddess while Thordan was in prayer and revealed to him that the friendship between his son and the wyrm had become love. When Haldrath admitted his feelings to his father, the Ascian was able to easily deceive him into believing that Ratatoskr intended to devour his son as her brood brother had devoured Shiva two centuries earlier. Fearing that he was going to lose his son and heir, Thordan accepted his "goddess's" instruction that the only way he could save Haldrath was by destroying Ratatoskr. Gathering twelve of his most loyal and devout knights, he sent word to Ratatoskr that he wanted to meet privately with her, to which the wyrm eagerly agreed.

The meeting was actually an ambush which Ratatoskr, the thought of such a betrayal having never crossed her mind, walked straight into. Taken completely unaware, she fell beneath the knight's lances and swords without even the chance to fight back. Manifesting again as the Voice of Halone, Igeyorhm instructed the elezen to pluck out her eyes, warning them that Ratatoskr's siblings would have felt her death and telling them that their only hope of victory against a fully prepared and vengeful Nidhogg and/or Hraesvelgr would be to use his sister's Eye against him. In order to do this, she bade them to consume one of the eyes, and by doing so gain the ability to actually use the power of the other one. Realizing that they had no other choice, Thordan and his knights obeyed.

Having learned of his father's plans, Haldrath rushed to try and stop him, but arrived too late. Horrified at what they had done, he refused Thordan's demand that he partake of the eye. Their argument was interrupted by the enraged roar of Nidhogg, who swept down upon them with savage fury. Now able to wield the power of Ratatoskr's remaining eye, Thordan and his knights were able to hold their own against the Great Wyrm, and a fearsome battle ensued. Still grief-stricken and outraged at what had been done, Haldrath initially refused to join in the battle, but when Thordan was eventually struck a mortal blow, he begged his son with dying breath to take the intact eye and last piece of its twin and make sure that Nidhogg did not survive to take his revenge out on all of Ishgard.

Realizing that his father was right about what would surely happen if the wyrm prevailed, Haldrath reluctantly agreed and joined in the battle, eventually claiming from Nidhogg both of his eyes. Unable to bring himself to strike the final killing blow against his beloved's brother, he allowed the dying wyrm to flee, believing that he would surely soon perish. No longer believing himself worthy to lead his people in the wake of what his father and then he had done, he left the rule of Ishgard in the hands of the surviving knights and departed, taking the three dragon's eyes with him. Eventually he journeyed to what would come to be called Mor Dhona, and cast Ratatoskr's remaining eye deep into the waters of Silvertear Lake, hoping to thus lay her to rest.
