David, Some more House notes... are you looking for just personality traits, or for physical traits as well? I've included some of the latter; if they are unwanted, let me know. Bryan the enthusiasm of a Tiassa, the courage of a Dzur, the subtlety of a Yendi, the ferocity of a Dragon, and the thoroughness of a Lyorn - FHYA 243 reason like an Athyra - FHYA 267 courage of a Dragonlord - FHYA 279 the heroism of the Dzur, the ferocity of the Dragon, the cleverness of the Yendi, the nobility of the Lyorn, ... the enthusiasm of the Tiassa ... one point of similarity that the Tiassa share with the Dragon and the Dzur: their inability to keep their thoughts from being fully and immediately revealed on their countenances. - POTD, 97 [Roanna] had the ears of her house [Tiassa]--that is, more pointed that those of an Athyra, but less so than those of a Dzur. - POTD, 143 as serious as an Iorich - POTD, 181 one might at first think of [Sethra] as a Dzurlord from the slant to her eyes and the point to her ears; yet a closer inspection would reveal the bridged nose and high cheekbones characteristic of the House of the Dragon. - POTD, 186 with the narrow eyes and thin lips typical of a Tiassa - POTD, 252 It's much too late to go digging up page numbers, but Tiassa appear to be innately prescient to one degree or another. Daro has premonitions about Khaavren being in danger in FHYA that prove to be correct, both of them at the end feel certain that if the other had died, they would have "known it" somehow, the Tiassa pyrologist in POTD has visions that sometimes prove true. Also, in the very beginning of Teckla, Vlad visits an oracle who is a Tiassa.
