Black crystals upon her shoulders and lower legs.
Scarf about throat, torn shirt. Briefs. Arm covers. Black and green colors. Dull green.

Personality Traits :
Her personality has changed greatly since her parents died..
Once a rather shy and retiring girl who loved to play with water and rocks, caring for the garden and aiding by the Spirites and religion is mostly gone. She was very much an in touch with the earth and very quiet girl. She loved working in the garden, was not too good a hunter and hated scary things. A tom boy though: not very girly and not too into romance and stuff. Tarlock and her's arranged marriage was because their fathers were good friends. She was into knowledge and magic and sought to be a healer for her village.Her love of the earth, gardening and water is stil there. But gone is the shyness. Her cowardice and fear left her family dead... She has pushed aside herself to become someone new.. to become an avenger of the spirits and her people.

Loving: when she loves something she gives them her whole heart... right now she is guarded and hoarding her heart since its been hurt so badly. But when she opens up she trusts and loves completely. She has hardened her heart (or seeks too lol) in an attempt to keep people out so she wont be harmed again. Her cowardice (which angered the spirits and brought bad luck) is not easily fixed and she knows this, so she seeks to drive away those who might be affected by the spirits anger until she is strong enough and can appease their anger. It always ends up hurting her when she does this; she is a social creature despite trying not to be.

Driven: she is driven by her need for vengeance, to sooth her own guilty feelings and try to heal her heart with blood of those who hurt her. On the positive side she has become driven to learn as well; she need to know magic to defend her people,to fight these invaders. Even if she is afraid she will power through it: she has learned that fear will only get herself or others hurt, she must not show it, must not give in. She isn't bloodthirsty; instead its a hate/fear towards the alkidikes. She will want to kill them but not make them suffer. Kill them quickly. And in fact its more than all alkidikes.. its the alkidikes that killed her family. Those are the ones she wants to kill: others she won't want to (will still have that mix of anger and fear) unless she sees them acting as monsters towards her people.

Quiet: she is now more quiet than she used to. She would rather simply nod her head nad leave to complete her vengence than talk. If it can be done in as few words she will do it. When she is angry she will raise her voice. Otherwise she always speaks in a low deep voice.

Picky: She likes what she likes.. and it is hard to change her mind. you can't use just anything; you need to use the best to ensure things go right. Do not scrimp on offerings to the Spirits, do not cut corners. Always do your best. She also dislikes the taste of meat.

Gardener: to calm herself, she gardens. She has a green thumb and given time she can figure out how to grow most anything. She cares for plants more than people right now..since plants cannot die and hurt her by leaving her.
Changes as She Grows:

T A I L L T E' S . P L O T S

-- I will be writing a solo of her the day after burying her family. She comes to realize just what she swore in the moment of anger and grief. But an oath to the spirits and the goddess is not to be foresworn and she has to follow through with it. You can't just swear and then the next day go "I take it back!" so Tai is now stuck on this dark path until she find south the truth (her father actually started the fight and which leads to other thoughts.. does she still kill or what to do?) or kills the alkidikes who killed her parents... or somehow a priest/preistess has to absolve her of her oath.

-- The personality change is actually over the first few solos. Where she comes to realize just what she's gotten herself into.. and that she has to move on... But the trauma of realizing she hid herself while her parents died, didn't even think of trying to help but instead cowered in fear is what really changes her. She wants to change; has to change so this doesn't happen again. She has to do this to honor her parents since her actions shamed them. She acts cold because she cannot let people into her heart; if she does she'll cling to them and be hurt if they ever leave or die. She's lost her family and fiance(her fault both times)... she has to make this work, has to avenge them or else then she has lost everything for nothing. That makes her a bit short. She wants to go back to gardening, wants to just live in peace... but she has to keep going forward to make all this pain worth it in the end. She comforts herself that at the end she can finally relax and be at peace once her oath is fullfilled. As for not speaking: its her trying to to reach out for help. Trying to keep her fear that she cant do this inside, trying to be strong. Maybe if she acts strong she will be strong. If she talks, she'll make freinds.. be happy.. be weak. So she punishes her self so she doens't. So she keeps on her path until her oath is fullfilled

-- The yealians in the towns will try to tell her she doesn't have to do this, try to keep her from doing so. They see her anger as okay... but she doesn't have to destroy herself to avenge her parents! Certian prayers to the temple will appease any spirits she thinks she offended. But she, in her youth and grief, will not head them. She thinks this is her fault, that the spirits are anger and therefor she must do it. And just offering things to the spirits feels... wrong. Like she is bringing them to forgive her cowardice which she feels is wrong as well. The villagers see her more as a child lost to grief and will help... but their kindness makes Tai want to return, want to just go back to being herself.... but that would shame her memory and break her rash and foolish oath so she leaves for the tunnels... She wants to be in love, wants to be happy, but her oath demands she not do that (she thinks) and that by accepting the love and help of others beyond learning to hunt/fight/magics it will weaken her and she will not fulfill her oath.


-- Because she is now "bad luck" (in her mind) the only survivor and one who needs to be cleansed of her anger. Also she's sworn herself to the goddess Dafiel, the darker goddess, and is therefor not someone any good person wants to marry. So she leaves Tarlok.He wants to be there for her, wants to help her.. but Tai sees it as something that will hold her back, keep her being weak... and she has to be strong to go against the alkidikes.


--She will eventually find crazy witch in the caves beneath Yeal (male or female not sure) that will teach her as the yealians do not like her type of magics that she wants to learn. It is upsetting to the spirits.
Its using magic in harmful ways: such as using magic to control plants to attack people (not from a distance but shes there in person and using more natural magics. Focusing on poisons rather than healing. Not summoning things or cursing, but focusing on ways to kill people with magic but leaving little way to trace back to the castor. It looks like death magic but is instead the use of fire cast inside a persons body (like in throat.. is that even able to be used?) or wind to transfer harmful spores into a persons home to kill them there. Fire to overload their cooking fires and try to burn the house down or simply scare them. All require she be close by to cast.

I think that using magic this way would be seen as angering the spirits or very disruptive to spirits and there for is "bad" or "taboo" and a person who does this is looked down upon, feared, people don't want to get near them. There fore the "witch" in the tunnels is a lonely crazy person driven out for repeatedly using her magic to kill others in these ways. Reacting over board and killing in jealousy so she ran away rather than face justice for her actions.


--May have Tarlok later in life try to help heal her, return to her side.. depends if theres no PC person who will do so. Eventually marry him unless there's another person who can heal her. I am also down for someone questing him XD except then whether they end up together or not depends on how they rp them and how they think it will end up as well.
Not ending up with Tarlok as he is now a character (and likes guys.. soooo probably not going to end up together.)

-- She will run into the alkidike that did kill her parents; by then she will have learned the truth about the attack. She will need to confront her feelings and decide if vengence is really what she has to do. She swore it right? But her father started the fight.. does she continue the killing or let it end and let go of her anger?

--Eventually it will change from avenging her parents (it will happen eventually) but will turn into a "protect my people" and she'll be a defender type instead of insane aveng
