~~~About Tienz~~~
Tienz's story starts at a toy shop. He was created by the renowned toy maker Herr Drosselmeyer. It was on Christmas Eve that he finally awoke. See, Herr Drosselmeyer isn't just any toy maker (why do you think he's renowned?) because his toys are special. Some say that Herr Drosselmeyer is a magician! Anyways, Tienz was created to help the Nutcracker Prince fight against the Mouse King and his soldiers. On that faithful night Tienz and his fellow soldiers jumped out of the cabinent, grew to the size of normal leekozris, and began to fight against the fiendish rats!
Despite his best efforts, however, Tienz was a sloppy soldier. His heart was in the right place and he held just as much hatred for the rodents as any of the other tin soldiers, but he barely scratched his opponent. Towards the end of the battle Tienz had a huge gash in his back, a sliced shoulder and a wound in each side. Just as he thought all hope was lost another tin soldier came to his aid. Tienz tried to fight alongside his comrade, but soon found himself too weak to continue.
He staggered back and hit the wall before sliding down to the floor in a dazed and bloodied state. It was then he blacked out. If he had stayed awake he would have watched as the soldier that came to his aid beat down the mouse and even the entire mouse army! Then the girl who had been hiding behind the couch threw her shoe at the mouse king and the Nutcracker Prince killed him.
Now, after the battle, Tienz still tries to protect those around him. He will always be a soldier at heart. . . Even if he is a lousy one. He's always tripping over his own feet and making a fool of himself, but you'll never find a truer friend and he will protect his friends at all costs. Someday he hopes to find himself a nice girl to settle down with.
