__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
Tara, like most Serenians, is finely featured- and a bit on the small side; however her physicality is deceiving. She's by no means a heavy weight champ, but her slight frame belies lean muscle.  Her eyes are a strange shade of indigo and her skin is fair- actually pale might be a better word (a detail that irks her). Her silvery blond hair is almost always kept in a long braid down her back, often adorned with ribbons or flowers or anything else that strikes her fancy. Tara favors loose, flowing skirts and snug bodices that tend to highlight her curves. She's also a fan of bangles and arm cuffs, has multiple piercing in each ear, and often has on a necklace or two, but she almost never wears rings.

Personality
Tara is, for lack of a better word, bubbly. She's bright and cheerful and friendly and always willing to lend a hand.

And then she can turn around and stab you in the back with a smile on her face.

Honestly, it's hard to tell which side of her is faked...

Magic/Abilities
Bard Song: Through her music, singing or playing*, Tara can accomplish a range of feats. She can bewitch an audience into a comatose stupor, bolster a comrade's courage, etc.
*She can play a variety of instruments, but the two she almost always has with her are a lyre and a delicately carved wooden flute.

Elemental Magic: This ability is still tied into her music, but a little more "free form" if you will. Tara has a minor degree of control over all the elements through her songs; wind and water come most naturally, earth she can work with, and fire is a pain in the butt.

Weapons: Tara knows magic isn't always reliable, so she uses a bow for more practical matters. And she's not half bad with a knife.

Relationships
No family or friends to speak of

History
For as long as she can remember, Tara has been a traveler. She was found by a nomadic camp of people living at the edge of Draconi Forest that borders Serendipity as a baby, tucked into a simple wicker basket and nestled in the roots of a tree. The nomads took her in and raised her, teaching her to sing, play, hunt, and defend herself. For a while, she was happy.

But when she was sixteen, something happened. She doesn't like to talk about it... Anyway, now she's on her own.
