Biography
Tave was born into the Shapeshifter faction in Bahim. He possesses a kindness that isn't often seen in the Purification Faction. Because of this, he often hid during times of violence.

Tave was one of only a handful of Bahim's residents not affected by the qaadi serum. He was tasked with finding a way to purify the water. Instead of giving the Purification Faction that information, he used his Shapeshifter ability to go into Nysha in order to warn them. When the war began, he chose to remain in the prison where Paxton was being kept instead of moved to a safer location. It allowed him to save Leeya and help Paxton escape the Siren's call.

Because of his actions, Tave was allowed to join Alkwin following the war. He was given the test in Eden and scored highly in both Maker and Healer sections.

Description
Tave has a tall, slender build with a slightly rounded face. He has shaggy black hair and cobalt blue eyes. He had the teardrop mark of Bahim's people, but it was removed when he arrived in Alkwin. Leeya noted that its absence made him look younger and more innocent.

Relationships

 * Leeya: Tave sees Leeya as a mentor.  Rhydian observed that Tave is a lot like Leeya.  It's part of the reason that Leeya is protective of him.  At the same time, Tave has a need to prove himself to Leeya so she doesn't regret giving him the opportunities she has.
 * Aarys: Tave was intrigued by Aarys after their first encounter.  He wasn't used to seeing someone so young being included in important conversations.  At the same time, Aarys was curious about the boy who risked his life to save his enemies.  The two developed a friendship on the trip back to Alkwin, and became inseparable in the months that followed.  Everyone anticipates them becoming romantically involved as they grow older.
