Talia grew up in a peaceful, relaxed tribe, regularly participating in cultural festivities and experimenting with food from the local cuisine. With survival necessities in no short supply, she had enough free time to explore her own hobbies, and found her passion as an entertainer -- a juggler.

Without being exposed to much of the harshness of the outside world, Talia didn't learn the same set of survival skills other toskals might have before setting off for their rite. But what she lacks in practical experience, she makes up for in empathy and enthusiasm. Her cheerfulness and dedication to morale make her an asset in any group of toskals undergoing hardship -- and her skill in making food for her tribe's festivities carries over well in finding ways to turn scraps and scrapings into something palatable.
