OVERALL APPEARANCE: Talin's lithe little body moves with a grace better suited to a dancer than a bartender, but she utilizes it for the second all the same.

She has a smile that can light up the room, but it can also look sinister if you piss her off.
INSIDE
LIKES:
- Sex, Booze, Cigarettes - To say Talin was a bad girl would not be entirely true, but it would not be entirely wrong, either.
- People Who Say What They Mean - It's never made sense to Talin to dance around the truth
- Bartending - Talin enjoys making drinks and hearing everyone's stories. She also likes to keep an eye on her more vulnerable patrons
- Dancing - Whether it's slow or fast, she likes to move, especially when it brings you closer to someone else
- Black Coffee and Unsweet Iced Tea - Something about that bitter flavor really gets her going
- Peace and Quiet - Sometimes it's nice to sit back, relax, and enjoy the simple things
DISLIKES:
- Soft Drinks and Mixed Drinks - Sweet, fruity, and bubbly are not flavors she enjoys.
- Liars and Phonies - If there is one thing Talin cannot stand, it's being lied to. This extends to being someone you're not to make yourself more attractive, as well.
- Clingy, Needy People - If she wanted to be someone's mom, she would be. If you want something, then do it for yourself
- Children - It's not like she hates children, but they make her uncomfortable. Talin definitely doesn't want kids of her own
- Being Touched - If you weren't invited, kindly keep your hands off. This might come from years of handsy patrons, or it might stem from something deeper
- Watching T.V./Movies - She doesn't like the idea of wasting time watching other people live their lives when she could be out there doing it, herself
STRENGTHS:
- Tough as Nails - Talin doesn't take shit from anyone and has a mouth and a fist to back her up on it
- Hard Worker - A big advocate of "anything worth doing is worth doing right." Besides, she likes to stay busy until it's time to relax.
- Honest - It's always better to tell the truth, even when it probably isn't wise
- Take Charge Attitude - Why wait for someone else to tell you what to do when you could just get it done?
- Protective - She may not be for everyone, but for those that she claims and claim her, there's nothing she would not do for them
WEAKNESSES:
- Mouthy - Sometimes saying exactly what you feel can get you in trouble. Especially when you are unwilling to let shit go without calling it out
- RBF - Maybe "resting" is not entirely accurate. Talin has never been very good at keeping her emotions off of her face
- Impatient - She often expects people to attend to things with the same hard work and energy that she would and when they don't immediately deliver, she sours
- Low Impulse Control - If she wants something, she goes for it, even if it's not that good of an idea.
- Self Interested - There are people that Talin does things for happily. But she doesn't go out of her way or offer help for people she doesn't know and care about
OVERALL PERSONALITY: Talin is a very direct, take no prisoners kind of girl. A bit of a "bad girl", she works hard and likes play hard, but at the end of the day, she enjoys the simple things in life. Honesty is at the core of her personality. She can't handle being lied to and she conducts herself as honestly as possible to afford everyone else the same consideration.
BACKGROUND
HOMETOWN Los Eurosia
FAMILY:
Mother - Aisling Hanover
2 brothers and a sister that she has never met that her mom had with her new husband
PETS: she claims Roger's pets as her own but doesn't feel keeping a pet in her studio apartment would be great for the pet
HISTORY:
Talin was born and raised in Los Eurosia. Her mother, Aisling, and her father, Remy, were high school sweethearts. Aisling got pregnant their senior year and shotgun wedding ensued, although they both believed themselves very much in love. After Talin was born, Aisling pretended that this was the life she wanted until one day, when Talin was five, she dropped her off at school and did not come back to pick her up. Her father was on shift at the fire station and had to leave to come pick her up. When they got home, everything looked the same, but all of Aisling's clothes and jewelry were gone. Talin blamed herself for a long time, but realized as she got older that it was Aisling's problem, not hers.
Her life went about pretty normally for a single parent household after that. Remy's parents took over watching Talin whenever Remy could not. She got good grades but not for any reason other than she felt the need to apply herself to everything she did. What she lacked in a mother, her father more than made up for and they grew very close. Even though, they did not have much, Remy always made sure Talin had whatever she needed. When Talin graduated high school, he scrimped and saved so that she could go to S.C. University and study journalism. Unfortunately, she had only completed one semester of college when Remy was diagnosed with advanced lymphatic cancer. As hard as he tried to convince her to stay in school, she refused to spend money they needed to treat him and dropped out after exams. Talin took a job bartending to help out with bills and medical expenses.
It was during this turbulent time in her life that she met Roger. He stepped in out of the cool night air into her bar and she knew immediately that he was someone she wanted in her life. Everything about Roger put her at ease. It was easier for her to think and relax when he was around and she reveled in that serenity. They were also incredibly similar and it was nice to be around someone that understood her so well. The two of them quickly went from friends to more than friends. He was her rock, her safety. Even to this day, he is still that. Six months before her father succumbed to his cancer, she agreed to be Roger's fiance. The only reason she made it through her father's death was because Roger was there for her every step of the way.
There was nothing wrong with Talin and Roger's relationship. They got along great and they cared deeply about one another. One day, however, Talin found herself wondering if, somewhere along the line, they had not confused the depth of their friendship for love. Honestly, she did love him, but was it the right kind of love? As soon as she realized this, she had to talk to Roger and see if he felt the same. They came out of it broken up, but still best friends. Talin could not imagine her life without Roger, and she doesn't want to.
