Tiriyana is a strong-willed and independent young person who has had to grow up quickly due to her experiences in foster care. Relying on her own judgment, she has become skilled at advocating for herself, speaking up when something feels wrong, or when her boundaries are crossed. Although she appears confident, she harbors a quiet vulnerability that she rarely reveals. Asking for help is challenging for her—not because she doesn’t need it, but because past experiences have made her wary of depending on others. As a result, she often prefers to tackle problems on her own, even when the burden becomes heavy.
