Description
You see Trail Runner Talliska Wildclaw, a Prydaen Ranger.
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 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 beaded spidersilk sack, an albredine crystal ring, a slender platinum wedding band channel-set with oval blood-red rubies, a slender gold charm band bearing the crest of the Order of the White Rose, a forest-hued chmir triple wrapped in beaded bronze cord, a braided spidersilk backpack, a leather weapon harness, an exquisitely woven white silk rose with an emerald green stem twined around a platinum seven-pointed star, an enveloping black wool cloak with a deep hood, a platinum jadeite gwethdesuan, a platinum kyanite gwethdesuan and a twisted cambrinth armband.

History
Talliska is the last surviving member of Wildclaw Hub in the distant west, very likely born during the migration to Zoluren. Her father Drashre and mother Chadralor died to bring her (still an infant) to safety in Rivercrossing.
Despite having migrated so 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 of Kermoria's five provinces. Open-minded for a Prydaen, she expresses neither prejudice for nor superiority to other races, and is quite eager to learn more about cultures and practices beside 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
Talliska abruptly disappeared from AV 392-396, without telling anyone where she would be headed.
At some point during her hiatus, the barrier keeping Lyras in the Prydaen and Rakash lands was broken. At that point she went on a journey through the barrier to return to the lands the Wildclaw Hub once occupied. Her purpose was both to see for herself the current state of her homeland, and to make sure her family members had been properly put to rest.
More recently, in the month of Shorka the Cobra, 396, she returned to the lands of Kermoria and reunited with her few close friends, as well as members of the Order of the White Rose, new and old. A former council member, she has requested to Manze that she be reinstated as a regular member to allow her more time to train and stretch her legs traveling throughout Kermoria.
Now, with Lyras and her minions invading the Eastern lands, Talliska is determined to do her part to ensure the safety of Kermoria and its people, as well as educate those unfamiliar with Prydaen culture and the threat that she represents.
