One of the three daughters of All-Maudra Mayrin, Tavra was a brave spirit whose calm thinking and kind heart held her family together.

A warrior and defender, Tavra is more adventurous than her sisters, Seladon and Brea. The pressures of commitment, duty, and their mothers affection have made rivals of her sisters, but Tavras clear sight and compassion means she often finds herself as mediator and voice of reason between the two.

Though calm in her demeanour, Tavra is swift and decisive when moved to act. Upon learning of the true cruelty and actions of the Skeksis and the murder of the Gelfling Mira, Tavra throws herself into the fray, playing a pivotal role in the battle for her peoples freedom.
