Tyrael has a rather rough appearance, owing to her chosen trade.  Her weapon of choice is the longsword, which hangs ever ready at her side.  Strapped to the other leg is a finely crafted machete.  Over one shoulder she carries a large spiked shield.

For Tyrael, fighting has been part of her identity for most of her life.  Even when she was young, she always found herself thrust into the role of standing up for her friends, and occasionally throwing the first punch, for so long the that just became second nature to her.  Of course she was hardly the greatest fighter around, suffering her fair share of defeats, and her desire to prevent further loses in combat caused her to devote herself to training with weapons and armor.

Tyri ran into some trouble when she inadvertently, and unknowingly, embarrassed the scion of a high ranking family.  Fearing retribution against her and her family, Tyri fled, using her skills to make her way across the land.
