Description

You see Ranger Talliska Wildclaw, Courier of the Order of the White Rose, a Prydaen.
She has pointed ears and cat-slitted gold eyes. Her black mane is long and curly, and is worn in a careless, windblown arrangement. She has tawny fur with a white belly and black spots and a slender tail.

She is wearing a silver triquetra clasp, a mistwood short bow, a tooled leather arm quiver, some pitted steel-toed footwraps, some wickedly spiked knuckles, an iron-banded parry stick with brown leather straps, a crocodile-skin buckler, some copper brown gloves, a copper brown cowl, some forest green leathers, a leather weapon harness, an albredine crystal ring, a slender gold charm band bearing the crest of the Order of the White Rose, an exquisitely woven white silk rose with an emerald green stem twined around a platinum seven-pointed star, a platinum jadeite gwethdesuan, a platinum kyanite gwethdesuan, a slender platinum wedding band channel-set with oval blood-red rubies, a black firecat skin backpack with knotted gut drawstrings, some soft black suede leggings embroidered with coppery leaves, a beaded suede belt purse, a beaded spidersilk sack and a snug suede vest.

Background

Talliska is the last surviving member of Wildclaw Hub in the distant west, and migrated to Zoluren when she was only an infant. Her father Drashre and mother Chadralor died to bring her to safety in River Crossing.

Despite having migrated young, she was still raised among Prydaen for much of her early life, and thus has a rather awkward way of speaking Common, though she understands the language very well. Habit, along with several years of hermitage in the forests of Therengia, have kept her from learning to speak it more smoothly. She used to be very shy about this quirk, but found that people tend to think her more memorable for it. Nonetheless, her speech has gradually been improving, probably from having such well-spoken friends.

She is bonded to Sir Saisen Diamiiele, an Elothean Paladin on a self-imposed exile from his homeland of Ilithi. Talliska has often felt torn between her love for Saisen and her Prydaen heritage, but has gradually settled into life among the myriad people beyond the hub she was born in. Open-minded for a Prydaen, she exhibits none of the prejudice against races besides her own.

It still pains Talliska that she will never be able to biologically reproduce with her lifemate. But she has recently opened her thoughts to the idea of adoption in the far future, when she feels 'old enough' to consider herself a mother. One wonders when that time will truly come.

Recent Events

Since joining the Order of the White Rose, Talliska has enjoyed both a more active social life as well a renewed interest in training, and is now helping with Order recruitment.

Other than that, she is busy running trails between Crossing and Haven, climbing battlement walls, swimming up and down the Faldesu, and honing combat skill in various hunting grounds from Zoluren to Therengia. If you can catch her, she's certain to say hi!
