Tia is the best of a not very elite group - RPG shopkeepers. Taloon, Gobi, and those of that ilk may be sharp traders, but they couldn't fight their sorry ass out of a kitchen sink to save their lives. Tia looks Godlike next to that with her magic and deadly IP skills to go with passable stats. She won't need too much to handle Riddel, either. Not only is this CC castoff a magician who lacks even basic elements in which to deal damage, Riddel doesn't have a single offensive technique! Tia's got a lead in speed, damage, and isn't far behind in durability - which, of course, is made up by having generous healing. It'll be easy to down Dario's lover with a couple of physical attacks, cash in on all the fools who automatically bet against a shopkeeper, and move onto the next round, scoring a victory for traders everywhere.
