Call Name: Songbird
Cycles past: Twenty One
Sex: Female
It's in the blood: Caucasian
Height: 5'6
Weight: 130lbs
Hair: Sandy Blond

Physic: A trim and fit young woman, Talise has always loved running. When she was a girl she did a lot of gymnastics letting her body gain lean and trim muscle. However the young woman does not have any defined muscles leaving her form to be mostly soft curves and smooth skin. Talise has a decent sized set of curves that she could not hide easily but nor do they stick out violently. So far the young woman doesn't have a scar on her but she does have two tattoos. One is the word 'Hope' is tattooed just under her left breast. Gotten to remind herself to keep it alive and close to her heart. The other is the phrase 'Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain' around her right ankle. A reminder to stay on her feet and find the joy in life no matter what's going on around her.

Loyalties: Medicine Guys
I can't help it! None yet
It's fun:
☆ Running, Talise doesn't have much time for a gym so she tries to go for a run after work each day or in the morning on her days off.
☆ Sewing, she does it for fun and it's become handing for fixing clothing or people
☆ Researching, sounds weird but she loves learning about how people used to do things
Thanks much:
♡ Fantasy novels, mainly medieval ones
♡ Rain storms, they're calming in her mind
♡ M&Ms, her favorite is the blue one don't ask
♡ Her medical books, she likes to learn and loves knowing what to do ahead of time
♡ White flowers, loved them since she was a girl. Her mother used to weave them into her hair
No way:
☠ Long nights, harder to keep healthy and sane with no sleep
☠ Hot days, it always seems the crazies come out during the hot weather )
☠ Violence, after studying how to fix the outcome of it she's grown to dislike it
☠ Not knowing what happened to her family
☠ Being thought of as helpless
What the hell:
× Claustrophobic, will panic if forced into crapped places and not kept calm
× Not being able to save someone on the table
× Being the reason other people get hurt (ie someone turning because she can't save them, getting held hostage etc)
Can't Change It: A fairly quiet young woman, Talise has always been at peace with silence. Focused and determined when she puts her mind to something she will stick to it until she completes her task. Gentle hearted she is quick to help someone in any way she can. Always willing to try new things, Talise isn't afraid to get her hands dirty if that's what it takes to get the handle on something new. Playful when she gets to know someone Talise never pushes things very far when it comes to any form of teasing. Preferring to sit and talk to someone instead of sitting in front of a TV screen, she's always been fairly low maintenance in that sense. A bit emotional at times, Talise has a bad habit of getting too attached too fast to people. Never has she imagined feelings where they aren't, she's just quick to make friends with people. Able to keep a fairly cool head, stress is something Talise can handle. She has to be able to in order to handle being a nurse once she's out of school. Probably one of her biggest faults is the fact that she is always willing to trust a person from the get go unless anything seems off to her logic. Sometimes her trusting nature has gotten her into a pickle or six.
History is set in stone: Born and raised in the Rocky Mountains, Talise comes for a fairly normal middle class family. Her father was a contractor building homes around the state while her mother worked odd jobs wherever she could find them. Talise spent most of her time with her older sister, Thalia, and her twin brother, Thomas. The Wren siblings were practically inseparable as their parents were hardly home. Thalia was always in charge of her younger siblings but they never minded. It was Talise's uncle who got the young girl into nursing. A single child's book about it and she was sold. Her siblings supported her the most through the years getting her first aide classes and manuals for presents instead of toys and clothes. Well mostly, she always was fond of using her dolls as her patients when her brother wouldn't let her use him. Focusing on school Talise maintained high grades throughout school years graduating only a step below the Valedictorian. Her parents were never sure about the schooling she would need for her dream career but with some convincing on all their parts they caved. Talise with Thomas in tow were on there way to Colorado University in Denver, a good state away from home.
Things were hard at first for the pair being away from home but together they flourished. Talise often teased her brother has he pursued a love for the stage, and a lot of the pretty girls along with it, but she was always there for him just like he was there for her. Weeks rolled into months and months into years until before she knew it Talise was preparing to start interning at a local hospital. That year was the best of her life almost hands down. The business of the floor, the chaos of the emergency room and the peaceful nights on the pediatric floor, she adored it. Late shifts and loads of classes gave the brunette a bit of trouble when it came to having a life but she did her best. The last thing she wanted was to become a recluse. As her third year came to an end and summer struck Talsie made her escape for a small while. With a couple of friends from her Nursing program they planned a vacation to Thunder Ridge Valley. One of her closest girlfriend's parents lived in Black Creek giving them a place to stay but since they would be out of town for a bit themselves it gave the girls time to themselves. All the while though Talise has kept up on her studies and is rarely seen without her books.
Since everything went to hell things have just downgraded even farther. Talise has tried and failed to get a hold of her brother and family, leaving several messages on the answering machines just in case before they lost power. She has plans to meet them in Twin Falls, Idaho. As kids her family used to vacation there and Talise is desperately hoping to find them there again. Right now she has been making due with her friends trying to stay alive and a step ahead of the undead hoard. Already she has lost a couple of her friends, one due to hanging, giving the group an unpleasant experience of waking up to a Walker hanging above them. At the start of this there were six of them all together, now there are three though were the other two have gone she doesn't know. She picked up by a group of survivors in Black Creek and has been playing double duty as their 'doctor' and their communication officer. Talise spends a lot of time going over their inventory and making lists of things she would like to see added onto their base. Who knows how long they'll be stuck there and with some careful planning, not to mention luck, she can only hope for the best.

Main Weapon: Cleaver
Secondary Weapons:
- Chef's knife
- Police baton
Strengths:
- Diagnosis, Talise has a knack for figuring out what is wrong with people and how to fix it.
- Listening, as silly as it sounds. She's very good at just sitting there and actively paying attention to the person or people she is with. It's always nice to know someone will pay attention.
- Cleaning, call her crazy but she likes a clean space and things to work with. If there is a stain she will get it out.
Weaknesses:
- Far too trusting, she's always willing to give the benefit of the doubt until proven wrong....that normally ends violently
- Very morally sound, in a world where you have to prepared to be inhumane she's clinging to her morals.
- Refusing to give up, she has a bad habit of believing that she has to save everyone in her care
Combat style: Talise is not a fighter. She has spent most of her time running from the danger then facing it. Because of this she doesn't have much confidence in her fighting skills which makes her a bit of a risk should one send her out. She is trying to learn to do so and sticks mostly to stealth like attacks when she does get out. With time she might be good to have out in the field but for now she just might not come back alive if she goes out.
