Name: Talulah
Nickname(s): Tali
Age (Appearance Wise): 16
Age (Actual): 6
Personality:
Hopeful: Talulah is the eternal optimist. No matter what befalls her she always has a bright smile because she believes without a doubt that it will get better. For this Book Child, there are always bright days ahead and there is always something to look forward to.
Happy: Talulah is deliriously happy every day. She doesn’t have sad times. She is on the happy train 24/7 and nothing can get her down. She’s delighted to meet you, she’s happy to simply exist and she’s ecstatic to be dancing! However it is true that nobody can be happy indefinitely and any sadness that is forced upon her is a strange and painful thing, and she would refuse to admit to feeling down, forcing a smile onto her face until any melancholy passes.
Tricky: The goldfish isn’t stupid and she knows what she need to do to win the approval she desires. She has quite a few tricks up her sleeve and will attempt to manipulate people with her honest, happy face and the occasional sly words if she has to. They’ll thank her later of course, when they finally admit that they are best friends forever. <3 Talulah feels no regret for these actions. She innocently believes that it’s for the best, and her manipulation is almost second nature. She ‘needs’ their attention and so she does what she had to in order to get it Talulah also attempts to never ever pay for anything. If she's with someone; they will end up covering the costs of their outing.
Impulsive: Any little idea that pops into her head, Talulah is likely to act upon without much thought. Often, in the middle of a conversation with someone, a thought will steal her attention entirely and mid sentence she’ll break away to put her new idea into action. She can’t seem to differentiate between possible and impossible, and will continue on with even the silliest sounding plan until something else catches her attention. However this also gets her into a lot of trouble and Talulah had been hurt numerous times.
Dependant: The only time Talulah is likely to feel sad is when she’s not around others. She’s entirely dependant on the people around her for attention and for the basic sort of care that a person needs and will do anything and put up with anything in order to have it. She’s constantly in need of companionship and will seek out even those who clearly don’t want her around. Talulah dances for the City People because she wants them to love her. Like a goldfish in a bowel that needs its owner to feed it or else it will die, she treats the city’s inhabitants the same way. She lives off them, moving from one person to the others.
Kind: Talulah doesn’t have a nasty bone in her body. While she might bend the truth now when trying to convince somebody to love and care for her, she does everything out of the goodness of her heart. She would never hurt anyone intentionally, especially since everyone she meets in instantly a friend to her. Cruelty is an alien concept to her and she’s the loudest voice in the group speaking well of even the nastiest folks, after all, maybe they’re just having a bad day?

Do tell Talulah... 
Thoughts on the Forest: ‘Oh... I think it’s beautiful.’ – A place that some part of her longs for but she knows she cannot return to.
Thoughts of Book Children: ‘I want us all to be friends.’ – Considers her fellow Book Children almost like beloved siblings, she treats all of them, even those she just met with a certain familiarity.
Thoughts on City People: 'If I dance for them, will they like me more?' – Talulah adores the strange and magnificent City People that loom so darkly around her. She strives to get their attention.
Thoughts on the Guardians: 'Will you take me flying?' - Talulah loves the Guardians, particularily Avautrus whose wings she admires.
History: One day Talulah opened her eyes at the edge of the forest and she was ridiculously, deliriously happy to be there. She lingered for a time, finding her feet and inspecting everything around her until Avautrus came to great her. The guardian nudged her towards the city and spread its mighty wings. While she didn't quite want to leave yet, once she saw the city she started to run, thinking it was the most marvelous thing she had ever seen.
She took to this life with gusto, exploring every inch of the city until she settled happily in the busiest sections; Cheppinhew. She loved the bustle of the market and appropriated her own spot between a watch repairer and a silk merchant. There she would simply dance for anyone who cared to watch and would hang about the stalls, chatting constantly to everyone and anyone.
With her somewhat flighty mind and inability to pay attention to any one thing for too long, Talulah took four years to learn how to read and so for the majority of her time, was unable to understand those around her. But she got by with her dancing and by simply meaning well. The City People, uncertain at first, grew used to her bubbly self and treated her with a fond affection.
Hobbies: collecting stones, cloud watching, dancing
Birthday: 20th January
Favorite Things: Ponds, the sky, attention, hugs, being around others, music, birds, sunlight, bubbles, wings
Hated Things: Being alone, being disliked, being underground and unable to see the sky

The Happiest Goldfish
Once upon a time there was a glass bowl set upon a window sill and inside it swam a little goldfish that was always filled with joy. Whenever her owner tapped a finger against her glass home she flicked her tail happily and darted over. She would press her mouth against the cool surface and mimic the kisses she had seen the large beings around her give one another.
When they came to see her she loved to show off; flashing her orange scales against the light and hiding coyly amongst the fresh pond plants. If she was a good girl, her antics would soon be rewarded with delicious treats that floated on the surface of the water and begged to be eaten.
She was happy with her life. But she had a very secret wish that had grown while watching the world beyond her home, where the birds twittered and fluttered gaily. The goldfish thought they were magnificent and longed explore their world with them; so different from her own.
‘In a way, swimming is a lot like flying.’ A sparrow had said to her once as he preened himself upon the window sill. Then he had ruffled out his feathers and wished her good day before flying off to enjoy the sunny morning, unwittingly leaving a thought in her mind that would grow and grow until it could no longer be contained.
As the days passed her happiness seemed to increase tenfold and she would twirl around her bowl, fins spread wide as if they were wings carried by the wind. She delighted her owners with a marvelous show; the happy little creature nearly glowing with joy.
When the time came the goldfish squished down in one corner of her bowl, let out a determined little bubble and darted upwards with all the might her little body possessed. She burst through the surface… and the goldfish flew up into the air, droplets of water spraying behind her.
And in her mind she was still soaring even as she hit the leaf littered ground outside the window.
