Tiana was creating a shell neckless that she would eventually give to her only niece, who was only 2 years old. She planned on giving it to her on her 3rd birthday. Tiana loved kids for they had no care in the world. Right now she wasn't concerned about finding anyone, although her momma was starting to hint at the idea of finding a mate. She wonder if it was because three of her brothers were mated and one was in a serious relationship at the moment. Of course it was also hard to find a guy when one had four older brothers who tended to scare off any potential mates. That didn't even include her own father, who was ten times more protective of her. This was mostly due to the time when she nearly got stranded on the island thanks to a dare her brothers made her do when she was 10 and determinded to prove her worth. So she did the most foolish thing she could do and went swimming around the island in a storm and got washed up onto the beach. If her brothers hadn't found her, she would have died there. She now has a fear of storms.

As Tiana worked on the necklace, she finally came to a stopping point. The shells looked lovely. They were all the same kind and could only be found in the Ruins. She still needed several more shells, so Tiana went to go tell her mother she'd be going there. Her mother was hesitant with humans in the area and made Tiana promise to be back soon. Tiana nodded and left her home. As a rule she always took the safest routes because humans weren't the only threat to her kind. It was the time of year when predatory sharks were breeding.

When Tiana made it to the ruins, she knew exactly where to go. She didn't waste any time wandering the ruins because she honestly didn't want to risk being seen by humans. As curious of humans as she was, it was getting late and she didn't feel as safe at night as she did in the day time. As she went to where she found the shells last time, she became less anxious and more excited so she wasn't paying attention if she was being watched or not.
