Backstory:
Tavina's story begins in the most unlikely of places—a remote and forgotten village, where her life began as a mystery. As a newborn, she was found abandoned amidst the remnants of a once-thriving community. Her discovery was nothing short of miraculous, as it was not humans or elves who stumbled upon her, but a group of wandering giants.
The giants, known for their strength and wisdom, were moved by the sight of the small, defenseless infant. They could sense something special about her—a divine spark, perhaps. They decided to take her in, raising her as their own. The giants named her Tavina, a name that meant "little star" in their tongue.
Tavina spent her early years in the towering shadow of her giant family, thriving in a world where everything was larger than life. She learned to navigate the world from a different perspective. Her stature, much smaller than that of her adoptive family, became both a challenge and an advantage. While she was often underestimated, she embraced her size, using it to her advantage to stay unnoticed and gather information others might miss.
From an early age, she learned to climb towering trees and navigate the rocky cliffs of the giants' mountain home. Her small stature, while seemingly a disadvantage, became an asset that allowed her to move swiftly and undetected.
The giants taught her to value strength and wisdom in all forms. Tavina listened intently to their stories of ancient battles and learned to wield the simplest of weapons, preparing herself for whatever life might demand of her. More importantly, the giants instilled in her a deep respect for all beings, regardless of size or status. The giants taught her that strength lies not only in physical power but in the heart and mind. This lesson resonated deeply with Tavina, shaping her ideals and guiding her path.
Tavina's dreams were as grand as the mountains her giant family called home. She aspired to become a cleric of Alrund, the God of Time, to wield divine power and protect those in need. The god and her family of Giants followed the lessons too. Her unwavering belief in community and respect for all life led her to see the interconnectedness of time and destiny.
When Tavina came of age (12), she knew it was time to leave her giant family and seek the training necessary to fulfill her destiny. Her departure was bittersweet; she would miss the wisdom and guidance of her giant family, but the call of destiny was undeniable.
"With their blessing, Tavina journeyed to the nearest Temple of Alrund. The temple was a magnificent structure, its walls adorned with ancient runes that seemed to shimmer in the light of the setting sun. The priest of the temple, Joseph Boulderdown, was surprised to find a girl raised by northern giants seeking the teachings of Alrund. Yet, he sensed the divine energy that radiated from her and welcomed her into the fold with open arms.
Tavina, with the help of Father Boulderdown, immersed herself in the teachings of the god of time. Her days were filled with study and meditation, learning to harness the divine energy that had always been a part of her. Her natural charisma and unwavering dedication soon caught the attention of the temple leaders, who recognized her potential as a cleric.
However, it was not long before Tavina's talents attracted the notice of an ancient order of paladins dedicated to Alrund. The Ancient Paladin Order of Alrund was an elite group tasked with maintaining balance and order across the realms. They recognized Tavina’s strength, charisma, and the way she inspired others. Her unique combination of physical prowess and spiritual insight marked her as a potential leader.
One evening, as Tavina meditated in the temple gardens, she was approached by a delegation from the order. The leader, a towering figure named Seraphis, spoke to her with a gentle yet commanding presence. His eyes held the wisdom of countless battles fought in the name of justice.
“Tavina,” Seraphis began, his voice resonating with authority, “Alrund has guided us to you. We have observed your dedication and your unique talents. Your path does not lie solely within the quiet halls of the clergy but in the active service of justice and protection as a paladin.”
Initially, Tavina was taken aback. Her training as a cleric had only just begun, and she had not considered the path of a paladin. The idea of taking up arms and venturing into the world filled her with both excitement and trepidation. But as Seraphis spoke, she felt a deep resonance with the idea. The prospect of joining the Ancient Paladin Order was both daunting and exhilarating. She realized that this was an opportunity to expand her abilities and serve Alrund in a more direct and impactful way.
Embracing this new calling, Tavina underwent rigorous training under the guidance of the order. She learned to wield weapons and armor with the same grace she had applied to her clerical duties and what she had learned in her home life. The training was demanding, but Tavina approached it with unwavering determination. Her once comparably small stature, once a source of doubt for others, could prove to be an advantage in battle. She now had even more courage to go up against those who were her size or even smaller. She honed her speed and precision, moving with an agility that left her opponents underestimating her at their peril when she struck with a giant's might and blocked their blows.
Her bond with the giants is unbreakable. She owes her life to them, not only for saving her but for shaping her into the person she is today. Their teachings of wisdom and compassion became the foundation of her character. Her loyalty to them is unwavering, and she often visits their mountain home to seek their counsel and well-being when she is on a mission for Alrund.
However, Tavina is not without flaws. She possesses a keen sense of aesthetics, and when something offends her sense of beauty, she makes her displeasure known. Her courage is another defining trait, but it can sometimes lead her into dangerous situations. Once her bravery is questioned, she refuses to back down, regardless of the risks involved.
Tavina's journey is one of self-discovery and growth, guided by the teachings of her giant family and her devotion to Alrund. She is a beacon of hope and courage, always ready to defend the vulnerable and uphold the ideals of respect and community. Her dreams may be as vast as the sky, but she knows that her size is no limitation—only an opportunity to surprise those who underestimate her.
With the giants’ wisdom in her heart and the blessings of Alrund guiding her hand, Tavina stands as a fierce protector of time and all its people, ready to confront whatever challenges lie ahead.

The plate mail fits her like a second skin, designed to offer maximum protection without hindering her swift movements. Each piece of the armor is meticulously crafted, featuring intricate engravings that shimmer faintly in the light, etched in the runic script of the giants who raised her.
Breastplate:
The breastplate is embossed with the emblem of Alrund, a stylized hourglass surrounded by spirals representing the flow of time.

Though plain in its design, the shield bears the marks of many battles fought and won, each scratch and dent a testament to Tavina's unwavering courage.

You have advantage on all Wisdom saving throws.
Mental Discipline
You have resistance to psychic damage.
Mind Link
You can speak telepathically to any creature you can see, provided the creature is within a number of feet of you equal to 10 times your level. You don’t need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language.
When you’re using this trait to speak telepathically to a creature, you can use your action to give that creature the ability to speak telepathically with you for 1 hour or until you end this effect as an action. To use this ability, the creature must be able to see you and must be within this trait’s range. You can give this ability to only one creature at a time; giving it to a creature takes it away from another creature who has it.
