History: Her father, Quilash, went out hunting one day when a storm was brewing. In the ensuing fury he disappeared and was later found dead. Tidesong, only fifteen years old then, began hunting for the tribe in his place, spending little time at home. She had to raise herself. As one of the few people who can get Sheia to really open up or laugh once in a while, she and her sister are very close. Called Sherryl at birth, she changed her name to Tidesong at age 17. One day she was sitting on the rocks, thinking about her father, and listening to the waves. She found out that the sound comforted her and decided to change her name. At age 20 she disappeared for a short period of time. Nobody knew where she went or what she did. After a while she came back, but she was different. She was much more tan, which indicated she had spent some time on land. She still hunted, spent time with her sister and still loved MistArrow, but she would tell no on what happened to her while she was gone. Sometimes she would have trouble sleeping at night. After the recent earthquake she needed some time alone, and she and MistArrow began to grow apart and eventually broke up. She's still feeling a little down about it.

Outlook on life: Tidesong seems to think along the lines of Bearclaw: elfin life is but a flash of skyfire, and you should live it while you can. Life is great, and nothing can change her mind.
