Tasi M. (Moirrey) Bergljot

Her first name, pronounced tah-see, means "sea, ocean" in Chamorro. Her middle name, pronounced as MUW-ra, is the Manx form of Mary. The meaning is not known for certain, but there are several theories including "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", and "wished for child". However it was most likely originally an Egyptian name, perhaps derived in part from mry "beloved" or mr "love". Her last name, pronounced Bahr-gloat, is from the Old Norse name Bergljót, which was composed of the elements bjǫrg "help, salvation" and ljótr "light".

Baba / Nana

All the children she watches over start off by referring to her as some variation of reduplicated words like the above since it is easier for babies to use them. Most of them eventually grow out of it once they are capable of proper speech, but some choose to continue using them. She does not particularly mind as long as it isn't some variation of "Mom" like "Mama".

Aunt/Grandma Tae/Tasi

The children who grow out of the reduplicated names and are capable of proper speech refer to her as some variation of Aunt or Grandma depending on their connection to her. Typically direct children use aunt while grandchildren use grandma.

Decrepit Old Woman

A lot of the people from her generation and their successors usually refer to her as such out of hate. The nicknames can be harsher or softer than the above, but many allude to how long she's lived in a negative manner. The comments infuriated her at first but with her growing age came patience. She began considering the insults as compliments, glad to have outlived the ones who wished her dead out of spite.

Marchioness

It was the next highest noble ranking she could cling to after her fall from grace. Though in title, she held less power than higher nobles like the dukes and duchesses, her authority and influence continued to outrank her political class purely from past exploits and established reputation. She tries her best to maintain that infamy that guards her territory, for she worried with her wanning abilities that she had nothing else to protect it with—like a wounded tiger bearing its teeth against a pack of wolves.

Lady Tasi

The title she uses in official settings amongst civilians, servants, and those of equal footing. It feels more natural and commonplace without discrediting her lineage.

4,000+

Despite her circumstances, she's managed to cling to life well beyond the usual limit of 3,000 for fae and quite possibly one of the oldest, if not oldest, fae in record so far. Honestly, she can't remember her precise age very well since she hit the 4000s and birthdays began blending into one another. However, time has not been very kind to her mentally or physically, and she's definitely feeling the effects of living too long, even if she does not immediately show it.
