Thiriän Danivin

Thiriän Danivin was the daughter of Aro Danivaran and Osmer Danivar.

Appearance
When Maia Drazhar first visited Thiriän, “she was middle-aged, plump, with the sort of narrow, pointed face that led to the elvish nobility being satirized as weasels in the comic papers. Although not lavish, her clothes and jewels were tasteful—the lapis lazuli beads in her hair brought some much-needed color to her eyes.”

On Maia's second visit, when Aro was dying, Thiriän "had been weeping, but had achieved both poise and dignity in her grief.”

Personality
Thiriän was polite and a bit nervous around Maia. She cared about her mother and making her more comfortable.

Life
Thiriän's father "was Drazhadeise through his mother’s line”, and Varenechibel IV acknowledged their family as cousins of the Drazhada. Aro chaperoned Maia during Maia's mother's funeral.

The Danivada were "ruinously poor", but Varenechibel IV "gifted them with a small estate on the birth of their first grandson, some five years” prior to the start of The Goblin Emperor. Danivar died two years prior to the story start, and Thiriän's brother ran the estate, though Aro maintained the family presence at court. Two days before the destruction of the Wisdom of Choharo, Aro suffered a brainstorm, and became bedridden. When Maia had Csevet Aisava make inquiries as to her identity, in order to possibly visit, Thiriän told Csevet that Aro "would be both honored and pleased. And that she tends to be most alert in the evenings." Maia visited the Danivada and spoke with Thiriän, and even sat with Aro for a time, then, at Thiriän's request, had Csevet supply the Danivada with extra coal at no charge.

During the ball to celebrate the arrival of Maru Sevraseched, Thiriän called Maia to visit Aro one last time before she died. After Maia sat with Aro for a time, Thiriän thanked him, and then took up her place at Aro's bedside again.
