Overview
Talitha is a perfumer and florist. She known for her bright and bubbly personality and also for her lack of common sense.
Description
Stunningly beautiful, her fair skin is flawless, save for the small birthmark on her left cheek. Her eyes are slanted slightly and hazel in hue. They are frequently wide and sparkling with excitement and happiness, yet often can appear dazed and unfocused as well, especially if she is required to think overlong. Her nose is cute and pert and her lips are quite full and sensuous. Ample and curvy, she has a generous full bosom and a rather plump derriere. She has a tendency to wrinkle her nose at bad smells and goes around sniffing the air. All in all, she is very beautiful, but most of the time, her facial expressions make her look rather ditzy.
Early History
Talitha doesn't remember the Eagle Renaissance of political and religious thought that flourished under Darimon the Great--and has grown up in what the old-timers call the UnEnlightenment. Talitha is too young to remember The Great War. Her childhood was happy. She led an easygoing life in Luragadin until coming to Anarinuell.
Recent History
Talitha was born an only child. However, she has since gained a sister, Arethi. Clan Leader Ania allowed the two to adopt each other as siblings, since both had no real family to speak of and the two had quite a bit in common, including their ditzy personalities. But lately, there has been strain between the two, since Arethi has been named Head of House and Talitha has to depend on her now to make decisions. Plus, it seems ever since the two have been made sisters, more and more scandal has erupted with one or the other, must notably, Tali herself.
Recently, Talitha has become engaged to a Mer who has been her one true love for many, many years. However, because of the tension with Arethi, the two may never get to marry.
Personality
Talitha inspires others. She is warm, enthusiastic, bright and passionate. She is also always on a mission to find her true life path. Talitha can be a little flighty now and then, dropping one thing as something, or someone, else becomes more interesting. Moreover, Talitha can be gushy with her emotions and eager to win acceptance. Talitha can often get frustrated with old-timers and people who want to put Talitha under restrictions. She has a little trouble with commitment. Ultimately, Talitha is a charmer and a risk-taker.

Marriage
Talitha was married briefly to another Eagle. A Mer by the name of Thanin. However, their marriage didn't work out and Tali hasn't seen him in nigh on two or three years now.
Right now she is single, but considers herself engaged.
Children
Talitha hasn't got any children. Yet. But she wants lots and lots!
Accomplishments & Successes
One of the biggest accomplishments Tali ever achieved, in her eyes anyway, was when His Honor, then Prince Torianos, accepted her as sponsoree. Boy, was she proud about that!
Also, she was one of the many perfumers whom Lord Marsalos contracted to invent a new cologne for mers! It was her idea to use whiskey as an ingredient and to this day, she privately acknowledges herself as the inventor of the 'woody' cologne.
Scandals & Failures
Failures
Where does one start?
The BIGGEST failure of course! When His Honor Most Wonderful Torianos dropped sponsorship of Talitha because of a huge scandal. (see scandals below)
Another failure would be her short marriage to Thanin, who ended up just being a lazy bum and eating and sleeping while she did all the work to bring in stenis.
Then there were the NUMEROUS failed relationships she has had over the years with various mers. All of which left her heart broken for at least a week afterwards!
Scandals
The biggest known scandal happened when Tali became involved with a Ticanee mer named Nodin. Unfortunately, that mer ALSO had another mes he was proclaiming his love for. A whore! Well, this did not sit well with Talitha at all. And it apparently didn't sit well with the whore, either! After being threatened by Mes Kalika, Talitha found herself jailed and beaten for attempted murder, a charge she denied over and over. Not only that, but the whore made up dozens and dozens of scrolls and distributed them all around the Palace District proclaiming that Talitha had slept with dozens of mers. A diss campaign between the two soon followed. In the end, Tali left for Luragadin in disgrace. Not long after she left, however, mes kalika was found murdered and for a time, Talitha was the suspect. Lucky for her, though, the real murderer was caught and Tali's name was cleared. The whole situation has turned Talitha off of Ticanee mers and made her detrmined to stay true to the one mer who has always held her heart.
Enemies
Talitha doesn't have that many enemies. Well, to her knowledge, of course! But there are some who might fall into that category for different reasons.
1. The now deceased Kailka
2. Mes Lurasetta Kenirugrik
3. Mes Tivana
Friends
Arethi~ Her sister, of course!
Ladonna Harror~ Her former best friend. Talitha still cares about her a lot, even if she has changed and married some really OLD mer! She wonders if they are still friends?
Kalissa Jessamyn~ She may be a Hydran, but Tali thinks she's the nicest mes in the world, she does! She counts mes Kalissa as one of her dearest friends.
Antonik~ Talitha has loved this mer for years! The only one who kept breaking her heart yet she would always run back to. He was also one of her dearest friends. She was most worried about him after his father was convicted of treason during the Antonian Apostasy. The Marcus Family was dissolved and Antonius executed. But Antonik was saved! Never had she been so happy to see anyone in her whole life than when she saw him for the time since the awful events occurred. And they finally might even get to be married! Maybe, hopefully.
Wylma Histaru~ This mes is super nice and let's Tali sell her items in her shop!
Lord Urminius~ Lord Urminius is wonderfully handsome and nice and he also employed Tali as his personal florist for a long time.
Lady Endeera~ Talitha idolizes this great Lady! But now, after that big scandal, she's really scared to talk to her or message or anything in case the Lady thinks badly about her.
Lord Adan~ Another handsome Lord! She will sometimes go to him for advice because he's all lordly and stuff and that means he must be smart, too.
