The truth of the matter is, the original members of Wolf’s Choice entered the Methuselah for the sole purpose of infiltrating it, attempting to discover what the Voidseeker was truly up to, and finding a means of saving the Blade King from himself. What no one in Wolf’s Choice anticipated was that they’d end up getting attached, and seeing how complicated the so-called “Truth” really was. While Wolf’s Choice’s members are still working through their own bitterness over several betrayals, they aren’t about to turn their backs on the few good people they know in the Vigil.
The name of this blade was meant to be a derisive joke started by Wolf's Choice's trainers and perpetuated by the bullies in and beyond their batch. Many of their fellow Hunters in the Methuselah felt that their ideas were too "progressive", especially since they were open about their belief that it was the Methuselah that was being unjust to Zangyaku and the Blade King. David and the rest, however, carried the name proudly all the way until they left the Methuselah. They STILL take pride in it up to now, because it's an open show of their loyalty to the man who helped them get to where they are now.
TIA MALAAHAS Alias: Elias Tagabigay
Affiliations: The Methuselah, The Maharlika MAGE [ACANTHUS; CHILD OF THE BAKUNAWA] / GRAY ROOK, BAKUNAWA'S FAVOR. PRIMARY COMPACT/CONSPIRACY: THE MAHARLIKA.
The little sister of the Malaahas Twins, originally viewed as a “cursed child” due to the fact that her very existence broke with tradition. It did not help, of course, that she Awakened when she was only a year old. Her brothers and her parents, however, were unfazed by the early manifestation of her powers. They also outright refused to bend to pressure coming from distant relatives, malcontents within the Maharlika, and disapproving voices behind the Veil of Metro Manila. As a result, Tia grew up feeling nothing but love from her family. Her support group in them and in close associates of the clan helped her bear up to the scrutiny. Lola Maganda’s intercession proved that they were right in accepting Tia without question. She’s the ray of sunshine in her brother’s lives, and the baby of Wolf’s Choice.
Tia's powers of prophecy and inherent understanding of the ties of fate and time that bound the pieces of the Tapestry together was the guiding force of her blade during their time with the Methuselah. Such visions, however, greatly sap her strength and leave permanent marks on her body. Because of this, Lola Maganda and her brothers have performed a ritual that seals these visions away. Not a single member of Wolf's Choice wants Tia to go back to her prophecies until she's old enough to handle the strain.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 29 SEPTEMBER 2016
The Legacy of the Bakunawa's Children is unique to the Malaahas line and any individuals who are Awakened and possess even a bit of their blood. Bakunawa's Children are known for exponentially increasing the abilities of their ka-dugo on the field through the use of sympathetic ties, and can grant some of their blessings upon people whom they recognize as family.
In case it wasn't obvious already, Tia's "family familiar" is Lola Maganda herself. No twin snakes for this one, see.
