Character from Sword Art Online by Reki Kawahara
Eugeo's page and the girl whose assault became the moral breaking point that taught Eugeo the Taboo Index isn't justice — it's a leash.
Tiese matters to the story because of what happened to her friend Frenica — when a noble student assaulted Frenica under the protection of the Taboo Index (which forbade pages from refusing nobles' orders), Tiese's anguish forced Eugeo to confront the fact that legal doesn't mean moral. His decision to break the Taboo Index to protect them was the first crack in the Axiom Church's control. She is brave, kind, and carries emotional wounds from the Academy's cruelty with more composure than anyone should have to.
Small with long red hair and gentle features. She wears the page's uniform and carries herself with quiet dignity despite her low status. Her eyes show a maturity that her age doesn't account for.
Also known as: Tiese, Tiese Schtrinen
