Appearance: Talullah is tall at 5’8” with an athletic build, akin to someone who goes to the gym on a regular basis. Her black hair falls just below her shoulder blades and, along with her almond shaped brown eyes, hint at her half-Asian heritage. Her skin is a tawny caramel and she often wears gold jewelry to complement it. She has what could be termed an “aggressive” way of dressing, her favorites being blacks and reds, stilettos and leather.

Personality: She is very forward, often making people uncomfortable with her unwavering gaze and forceful body language. She is extremely protective of her clan and will fiercely defend its members, though she is also shrewd and knows when it may be in their best interest to back down or compromise. In spite of these traits, she is fairly even-tempered and good humored, getting along with most people.

History: Talullah was raised all over the world, her father being in the Navy. She saw him very rarely, and so was much closer to her mother. She was always a willful child and often tested her mother’s patience, pushing buttons and boundaries. After several years of traveling, they finally settled in Maryland. She made her parents proud by enrolling in American University and graduating with honors. Her mother especially was happy, for she had been doubtful that her headstrong daughter would become anything but a wild child. For the most part, however, she had a pleasant childhood, and grew up into a young woman who went after what she wanted. She graduated with an MBA and proceeded to join the workforce, finding a job that brought her to N.O. It was there that a chance encounter with an injured were left her infected with lycanthropy.
She had been coming home from work one night when she witnessed a cyclist involved in a hit and run with a truck. As the truck sped off, she ran to check on the cyclist who had been thrown ten feet. She thought at first he was moaning in pain, but when she went to try and administer first aid, he rolled over and grabbed her, eyes glowing and teeth bared. Talullah tried to pull away from him, but he began to change and his hands as they restrained her became clawed, digging into her arms. This caused her to scream, which seemed to bring the cyclist back to himself. He threw her down and fled.

Strengths: She has the ability to shift at will and partially change, as well as the usual lycanthropic senses and strength. She can call a lesser hyena’s beast and heals at a faster rate than most. In most normal fights, she is fond of using her knowledge of ju jitsu, though if it escalates, she carries a four inch blade strapped to the inside of her left forearm. Unless it’s another were, she would prefer not to shift to fight. But she does like a good brawl!

Weaknesses: She doesn’t always think things all the way through, because she sometimes has very straightforward thought processes, similar to some guys. She also has a weakness for men, letting her libido think for her. She is a closet were, preferring that only those close to her know.

Quirks: Talullah is very artistic and has an art room where she can create. She also has a Savannah monitor named Banzai, who is fond of sitting on her lap while she watches football or professional wrestling.
