Full Name: Taja Okoro
Nicknames: Taj
Description & Personality:
-Taja is a tall ebony skinned girl with long black hair. She seems mean at a glance, but she isn't much of a bitch at all. She fits in well with the popular kids in school. Although, many know that she isn't one to criticize another human being. You'll see her sitting almost at a different table every day for lunch. Taja stands at about 5'10 in height, being one of the tallest girls in her class. The best way to describe Taja is understanding and trustworthy. Taja has never spread any malicious gossip, nor has she ever broken a promise. However, if you do break Taja's trust, you will see her angry side, which is very rare, and it will take a while before she'll even begin to talk to you again, probably being her biggest downfall.
Taja has three loves in her life. One being her Violin. She loves the Violin, and she plays beautiful music every day after school. She never gets sick of playing the Violin. Second, its her love for Botany. Taja has always been keen with plants. She grows her own garden out in the private balcony in her room. Give her any dying plant, and she'll have it back and running within a week or so. Lastly her darkest secret; her love for Max. Max being one of the other members of the old six. She's always had a big crush on him, and he always brings out her ugly laugh; not so much now though. One of her biggest wishes is to pay a song for him on her Violin.

Skills:
-People are always impressed by how great Taja's memory is. You can tell her anything once, and she will remember it forever. Most people however tend to think that she isn't the brightest person. However, only a few people know that she's number one in her class and has a high IQ to boost it. She is very humble about it too. She doesn't like to brag about it. Taja is great with people too, however she doesn't like being in the limelight all the time.
Weaknesses:
-Her biggest weakness is the inability to trust people right away after they have broken her trust. Her soul is like glass, you shatter it, it takes a while to fix it. Once the glass is fixed, she will start to warm up to you again, and everything will be like before. Her second weakness is her love for Max. Her old friend Helena and her younger sister Kayla know about her crush on Max. Taja doesn't know why she still has her crush on him, despite the changes.
Brief History:
-Taja was knew to the neighborhood as a child. She didn't think she'd make any friends that summer. One day after her Violin lessons, she took a different way home from the route she usually took. As she was walking she saw a few kids that looked nice, so she said hi. It was then that she met her five best friends. All five were inseparable. That was the case until Helena had an accident. After that, she was gone for a long time. During that period of time the rest of the kids began to drift away from the group. That's when she began to see changes in every single person she used to call a friend. Taja still tries to keep in touch with Max and Angela, but their differences makes it hard to do so. She misses that connection she had between her five friends and Otherworld. She still keeps those memories dear in her heart. Taja still keeps a notebook called "Otherworld Memories" kept in her closet that is filled with every adventure the fantastic six would partake on. She looks back sometimes to that notebook and can't help but to cry at how much she misses those times.
