#* isms: tiffin ellerian wrynn / A GOLDEN CAGE IS STILL JUST A CAGE.

[warwaged-archive]

Considering the Ellerian family had a small piece of land in Westfall and was not an important noble family, not even having a seat in Stormwind’s House of Nobles before Tiffin was wed to Varian, I… don’t know what the Wrynns got from the match, although I assume it had to be beneficial for both sides since it was arranged when Tiffin was born. Since it is said they owned a small part of Westfall, I assume it was more about what was in said small piece of land and their political influence in the region, considering back then Westfall was still thriving and said to be Stormwind’s ‘breadbasket’ and to have ‘abundant mines’. 

For the Ellerians, the benefit was obviously to become part of the House of Nobles and ensure a place as part of the most powerful bloodlines in the realm. I think that is telling enough they most certainly were ambitious, even if that is less true of Tiffin herself. 

All of that considered, plus the fact devs said “Tiffin helped Varian control his occasional anger issues and taught him economics, while Varian helped teach Tiffin about politics and social etiquette.” my headcanon is that her family was rather recent nobility, ascended to it through wealth.

She was the youngest child and only daughter, having three older brothers.

One of them was probably the one to assume their family’s seat in the House of Nobles.

None of them are still alive probably.

A big part of why she hated Varian at first was that she was sentenced to marrying him even before she had any sense of self so. That was not fun. She hated the match itself, for being something she was forced into, more than she hated him. But she also hated him.

They probably argued A LOT early on when they met, and lots of people were like ??? where did that come from she’s so sweet and pretty

Anyone who knew her well/was close to her also knew that while she was sweet, yes, she was also very willful

And feisty. She is good and kind but she would absolutely not take shit from anyone. 

10/10 would argue with people she shouldn’t, because if it is the right thing to do she will do it regardless of consequence and not caring to appease people that are clearly wrong/acting in a way that would be harmful to others. She really wouldn’t stand for injustice.

…yeah she’d definitely need help with learning to navigate politics.

Tiffin genuinely cared for the people, and did try to defend their interests whenever it was possible. She was very popular with them; not so much with the House of Nobles.

I need more time to make sense of dates/ages/timeline bc I suck with those thanks

also I’ll just use this post to make the tag drop
