Overview
Introverted and angry, Taurus gets along with no one. THe closet thing to a friend he's got is Harlum, and thats only because of the amount of effort she puts in to pester him. Otherwise, Taurus prefers his solitude. Has a very short temper, but it all stems from his own self pity and loathing, and general depression. Terrified of being vulnerable around people, he has a poor tendency to lash out. The only people he's ever been fully honest with are Harlum and Vallerie.
Story
Taurus was "cursed" as a child by Emit, being given the role as the God of Time and destroying any potential for a normal life. Between the pain from his horns growing in (a side effect of his new abilties, resulting in full grown horns at a young age) and shock from being disconnected from everything he knew, he's blocked out most of his childhood having dissociated for most of it, save for bouts of anger.
Some of the Gods tried to step up, but the only one who kept trying was Harlum. However, she had no idea how to handle a child, much less one like Taurus. He grew up without properly emotionally maturing, and doesn't know how to handle his own feelings.
Vallerie
Taurus met Vallerie by chance and the two became fast friends. Taurus liked Vallerie, but didn't realize it until she told him about her past, and how much she missed being able to fly. He could relate to her fear of being restricted, and admired her for being so strong. However, his admiration went too far, and he took Vallerie's words as her having moved past it all, and that she could help him. Of course, she couldn't help him, since she couldn't help herself, and Taurus didn't realize it until it was too late. He'd forced his burdens onto her, argued with her, and destroyed their relationship.
Taurus was angry at her, but he knew it was his fault, he just didnt; know what to do from there. He's since been trying to talk to her, much to her anger and Harlum's second-hand embarrassment. But he's slowy overcoming his shrotcomings and trauma, and hopes to reconcile with her. He misses being friends, and so does Vallerie.
