Taylor is one that could be considered the epitome of unorthodox, especially considering she comes from a military-based family, as well as highly conservative. Firstly, she has a plethora of tattoos that are usually covered by her clothing as if her parents found out they would have an aneurysm, as well as she is always dying her hair from brown to blonde, or Visa Versa. But seeing as she moved out years ago she has come to always display them in one way or another, as she doesn't care what others may think with how she presents herself. She is everything her parents were against and had received multiple threats of being kicked out, for not only how she dressed, but how she presented herself.
She can now normally be found wearing skinny jeans and baggy tank tops or t-shirts, as well as the occasional sweater or jacket, along with her normal everyday boots or vans. She is best described as a hard rock punk girl that was obviously in a highschool band, with her long hair that is usually styled messily, as well as usually being shaved in areas and a few piercings. As people say the eyes are a gateway to one's soul, her eyes are almost hypnotic and entrancing, as even a single glance from her can cause one's heart to beat. Either from the natural attractiveness that she possesses thanks to her parents, or it's maybe the uncertain vibe she gives to people, and she is content without having to know which one it is.
As for tattoos, she has more than a dozen, and all have a meaning, whether they're publically known or not. Her first tattoo is on her left thumb knuckle, it is a small, line drawn an inverted triangle with a line through it, it is the alchemic symbol for earth. On her left forearm is her second tattoo, which is of an arrow, the arrowhead pointing towards her wrist. On her left wrist is the symbol of her astrological sign Pisces, the fish. On her ankle is of a number 13 made of lightning bolts. She had it done as a "Friday The Thirteenth" tattoo on September 13, 2013 secretly as she got it without her parent's knowledge as well as a dare, as it was her first one she ever got. Aside from tattoos she has a few scars that also cover her body, the most prominent ones being on her back, it goes from the back corner of her right shoulder blade, and down to the small of her back, it is a streamlined scar that is still rather sensitive to the touch, often being more so of pain as she can only remember it being from a car crash when she was younger

In the easiest and simplest terms? Taylor is often described as unorthodox and eccentric. Even when she isn't trying, she is usually the one standing out in the crowd. From her quirky behavior and odd humor as well as her looks and appearance, she often sticks out like a sore thumb in a group. For one, she can never be serious for too long and often cracks a smile, even when she is being serious, which often makes people question her sincerity. She usually has a smile on her face that can easily light up a room, mainly as a facade so people don't worry about her, but also that she is usually always in a good mood, except for those few moments in life where she feels like everything is falling down around her.
In large groups of people, she tends to tone back her quirky behavior and becomes the quiet one, alone in the corner by herself. She's always been more of the listener than talker type and would prefer to hear other people talk than herself. But while with people she holds close, she holds them all too closely and tightly as she is petrified of losing anyone else, but at the same time, she is aware that can drive people away so she also remains as distant as she can. In other words, she can easily be your best friend if you want her as such, or she can be known as the quirky girl that often has the spotlight on her. She is loud and brash at times, especially when she is passionate about something or someone, especially when it comes to those that can't stick up for themselves. She isn't one to stand by and do nothing when someone is being bullied or harassed and will easily stick up for the small guy as her father taught her one thing right, be the person you wished was there for you in dark times, and she does her best to stand up for those that can't for themselves.
As for her temper, one better watch out. Not many things manage to get under her skin and piss her off enough, but when something presses the right button or someone says the wrong thing, emotions and words fly that would even make Satan himself blush. She has a short fuse and small list of things that can get to her, usually, if someone makes a snide or rude comment her way, expect something to come from her in one way or another. She is known to be one of the trouble makers in the academy, as well as having a slight reputation of drunken escapades. She isn't proud of it, but she doesn't deny it. While she isn't one of the purest people in the school, she also isn't a prude, especially when drunk. She will flirt with just about any pretty face that she lays her eyes upon and isn't afraid to flirt or make a move in her inebriated state. While she isn't the worst at relationships, she never seems to hold one longer than a few weeks to a month until someone new is in her bed, as she isn't shy about it, nor will she lie if confronted about it.

Dante' Montgomery | Father | 147 | Excamuinicated Warlock |
Their relationship was almost never existent since he was always away from home and too busy with the military to give her his time of day. He would always send gifts and things for her, as his way of saying sorry, and that he cared, but it always felt hallow and empty, never seeming to be genuine to her. And whenever he was home, he was distant and never seemed like her father and always seemed like a stranger more than blood to her. He does care for her, it's just that he doesn't know how to show it, and he always had an inkling of who she was and who she liked, but never said anything as he never wanted to ruin what small relationship they had...
Rebecka Montgomery | Mother | 346 | Witch |
To say that her and Taylor ever had a relationship would be a lie. Ever since she was a child it was always the same thing until recently, dictating everything she did, who she could see, what her interests were, and what she could do in her spare time. As the years went on, their relationship grew more faded and none existent, and at this point, one would even question if it was ever there in the first place. Taylor has always questioned if Rebecka ever even loved her and isn't sure if she ever even saw her as her child and not just a puppet she could control. She knows Rebecka hates everything that Taylor is passionate about, and was glad to leave when she turned 18 years old. After she left whatever relationship they had was entirely pushed away ad Taylor can't help but feel as though Rebecka never even loved her at all..

H I S T O R I A
Her younger years were all muddled together as over the years as she only really remembered moving from place to place when she was younger due to her father. They never stayed in one place too long, and when they did she would finally be getting used to the town and she would finally make friends, to only just end up moving soon after. This went on for years until she was sixteen, and up until then, she was trying her best to not let it show that it bothered her. Pretending like she was okay that she was forced to move all around the country for the sake of her father's job, pretending like not having any friends or anyone to turn to was okay with her, that it never bothered her or made her feel like the odd one out. The things she learned over the years? Don't get too friendly with anyone as you'll just end up moving far away and never getting back into contact with them, and it would only make matters worse for her. As well as on top of the fact that her very overbearing mother made it so that whoever she was friends with would be supervised and monitored, always having an open-door policy and never allowed to be gone longer than a few hours. No one was allowed to stay at the house and she wasn't allowed to stay at anyone's house for the night.
Mixed with her father's military life, and her mother's over-controlling view, as well as religious views, Taylor became the very thing her parents were against. She got tattoos as soon as she turned eight-teen (that they were aware of), she'd dye her hair just in spite of her mother's conservative lifestyle, as well as wear clothing and talk against how her parents would wish. She grew up having to have a certain viewpoint and lifestyle but went against it all as that wasn't her, but more so just in spite of her mother specifically. Over the years she developed a closer bond to her aunt and uncle that lived far away from them, finding them as her only solace and peace of mind away from her parents. They were the exact opposite of her mother and father and were exactly like Taylor. Free-spirited, quirky, outgoing people that just wanted to live life to the fullest, and it was because of their open-mindedness and caring attitude that made her feel like she had someplace to go to, and someone to come out to when she was six-teen. She told her aunt and uncle that she was secretly dating a girl from her one of old schools and that she didn't want her parents knowing. Up until this day they never knew about the relationship, and she prefers to keep it that way, not that it really matters anymore anyway.
All they knew was that one of her old classmates had passed away in a car accident due to drunk-driving and that Taylor was in the backseat while her friend was in the passenger seat, and was thrown out of the car and killed on impact. The news devastated Taylor and made her go into solitude and seclusion for a while as she grieved in silence for her girlfriend, but to everyone else, it was just a friend. She never told anyone the truth of what happened except her aunt and uncle of course, and how it was her fault, she distracted the driver and it ended in them being severely hurt, and her lover dying, all because she was a distraction. She's secretly lived with that guilt and truth for almost ten years, and a day has never gone by where she doesn't reflect on that night and not blame herself for the crash, due to that she holds a bit of self-hatred and anger towards herself and refuses to get close to anyone ever since that day. Anything more than a simple hookup or fling causes immense panic and stress, often distancing herself when things get too serious, even though she desperately wants to find someone to settle down with eventually. But that primal fear had kept her from pursuing anything more than a one night stand or a few weeks.
But as time went on and the years passed she moved out of her parent's home as soon as she turned eight-teen, was told the truth by her aunt and uncle for who her family really was, and that she belonged to a powerful family of witches and warlocks. She rejected the truth, trying to finally live a normal life as the frontman and guitarist of a band in Augusta, Maine, trying her best to be hiding from the truth trying to live her mortal side. But reality caught up to her when her powers finally came to be and she was told of a school that could help people like her, for witches and warlocks, the same school that her parents had originally met. Now, she finds herself in The Academy of Unseen Arts and has been able to hone her abilities, but not everything is as it seems and she is rather uncertain of the group of people she has gotten herself involved with, feeling as though there is something off about them, despite their supernatural abilities...

F A M I L I A R
Lumos | She is Taylor's four year old familiar, she is a pure white heterochromatic cat. Lumos is always where Taylor is, either by her feet wherever she walks, on her shoulders or on her lap, or with her in the dorms in her bed by her side. No matter where Taylor is, so will Lumos. More often than not before anyone sees Taylor, they will know she is short behind as Lumos has a tendency to walk ahead and check the area is safe for her master. Seeing as she is more of Taylor's protector than familiar, she will always be on guard and not let anyone else get close to Taylor, often hissing and clawing at whoever comes close, often to the annoyance of Taylor at her cat's overprotective nature.
S E C R E T S
| She struggles with anxiety and depression and would prefer people to not know as she doesn't want to feel like a burden or have people worry about her and what she might do to herself if she breaks | She was the cause for her past lover's death and blames it on herself for causing the accident | Night terrors, she more often than not suffers from nightmares of the accident and has to take medication to get proper sleep or even relax | She writes some of her own music as she used to be in a band, and finds it embarrassing as she's never really talked about her time back in highschool and the few years that followed it |
H A B I T S
| Without even noticing she tends to bite the inside of her bottom lip as well as the side of her cheek, mainly due to concentration as well as nerves | Nail biting, she can be found biting her nails rather often, either from nerves, anxiety, or if she's lost in thought | She tends to tap on hard surfaces when trying to focus, which is often to the annoyance to those around her |
S T R E N G T H S
Vocals and Music. Ever since she was a small child she has had an attunement to music and singing, she was never taught by a tutor or had a vocal coach, simply having taught herself from a young age, being able to play the guitar, both acoustic and electric, drums, piano, and of course, vocals | Swimming, seeing as she was always on the swim team in her old schools it isn't surprising that she was more often being the best member on the team | Survival training, thanks to her father being in the military, she was all but forced to grow up knowing how to survive any and all situations and how to prevent situations from happening. She is CPR and First Aid certified and she knows how to bandage up any wound that is almost entirely fatal | Shutting down her emotions and feelings, due to her father she grew up learning when she needs to turn off her emotions and feelings to get the job done | American Sign Language, she learned from a young age how to sign and has a basic understanding of it and can help translate for those that are hearing or speech impaired | She is athletic and toned in stature, but is by no means competitive or into sports except for swimming and running | Spells, seeing how she came from a powerful line of witches and warlocks one shouldn't be surprised that magic comes rather easy to her in nature. But as it is attuned much more stronger to her emotions, she is easily set off and can become reckless and dangerous |
W E A K N E S S E S
Insecurity,Taylor is surprisingly insecure, albeit no one would ever know since she knows how to put on a brave face and soldier on. She doesn't do well with criticism and more often than not takes it a little too personally | Stagefright, contrary to what people may think, especially since she is in band, she is incredibly scared and nervous of large crowds and usually has to get her mind into a different place for her to not crumble under the pressure | Hopeless romantic, not very shockingly, she is a hopeless romantic and everything about it melts her heart. She adores everything about dating, from cuddling with her partner on the couch to holding hands and occasional kisses, as well as watching sappy movies. When she falls for someone, she falls hard and it is usually obvious when she has feelings for someone | Can become easily emotional at times, often being easy to piss off or depressed | Taylor becomes anxious by the simplest of things, especially crowds | Emotioally unstable, seeing how she can be prone to ager, and easily emotional at times, her control over her magic becomes rather unstable when in an emotional state of mind |
