Tallyho Abel
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Height: 5'5
She partakes in the traditional activities to please her family but she takes everything with a grain of salt. She prefers to satisfy her own whims (which usually include food) rather than commit herself fully to her âspiritual dutiesâ as a member of the caravan. She often feels like an outsider in her community because they are known for being fabulous performers in the arts. To the dismay of her mother, Tallyho has yet to find her talent and usually does odd jobs around the community like collecting money at tents and watching children. She is pretty apathetic about the prospect of her future and doesn't try very hard to find her "talent." (Although she is very insecure about it.)
She tends to check out of situations: The community elders are trying to marry her off to a man she wants nothing to do with, her mother is always pushing her to become someone she isn't and to top it all off she doesn't know exactly who she is and how to find herself. She is looking for an exciting escape, but she has no idea about what's in store. Hopefully, through this journey, she can learn to make the most out of an unfavorable situation, build her confidence and discover her purpose.
Traits
- Self Indulgent: Tallyho tends to be a bit, dare I say, "moody." Her mind is always racing with memories and her instinct is to keep to herself when introduced to large groups of people. She tends to get stuck on things that have happened in the past, or don't even matter and has hoarder like tendencies. She is also likely to hoard her emotions, holding grudges or at least remembering unfavorable things people might have done.
- Apathetic: These days it can be quite the task to get Tallyho to actually try to do something wholeheartedly. She isn't very confident and her attitude about improving her situations reflect that. She takes everything for what it is and even if she seems apprehensive o uncomfortable about a situation she isn't likely to try to fix it.
- Loyal: Once Tallyho has determined that she would like to be friends with a person she sticks to them like glue and thinks of them often.
- No Swimming: Tallyho cannot swim and has a crippling fear of large bodies of water due to a traumatic childhood experience.
- [size=120]Bursts of emotion: She might have no will power but she isn't emotionless. She can get happy, angry and incredibly sad, but is particularly good at bottling in powerful emotions.
